I am just moving in to a new flat, the living room has a bay window with a curved radiator all along it. Any suggestions what I can do with this space and if the radiator will restrict me in what I can do. I'm struggling to think of good ways to utilise this space. The room is not very big, 4m*5m.

Help..which colour modern radiator should I go for...Black or grey?
Comments (5)Hello decor178, Depends what the rad looks like. I would usually suggest paint the colour of the walls.. If something fantastic and old style like the two I love which are fantastic anywhere.. They have a modern industrial finish which deserves to be shown off.. then I would suggest grey or charcoal but a matt finish rather than gloss. They do though come in a range of finishes.. from chrome to nickel to a copper/brassy finish.. Again it depends on the walls... better to see what you are talking about and the room itself with the furnishings to really get an idea.... .. . :))Or if a box standard plain and boring.. painted as wall will be or add a cover as Brandi suggested- quite plain and then paint as walls are painted.. .....See MoreWhat to do with our square bay window?
Comments (8)I absolutely adore shutters. I've no personal experience of installation, but it's clearly very doable, and I just found this great example of what they could look like in your square bay (these are from stylish shutters). Might work best for giving you a little more privacy from passers by too. That said, I also think Roman blinds look fabulous in a bay window, really subtle and very classy, but an altogether different look. Also, during the day, it means you can be pretty exposed. If privacy is important, definitely go with the shutters....See MoreWhat should I do with the ugly UPVC windows??
Comments (9)I agree with Graham. You wouldn't believe the difference that reinstating the original windows will have. If the building is Victorian it will have been designed with traditional casement or sash windows. You can now get timber windows with double glazed units so they look traditional but have the thermal and acoustic qualities of a modern window. They have also come down in price a lot....See MoreSquare Bay window covering radiator below
Comments (3)I wanted shutters in my house but again, far too expensive! I ended up going for white wooden blinds with 50mm slats and tapes. From the outside they almost pass for shutters and look very smart. I got mine from Tuiss but I believe they have now partnered with Blinds2Go. From memory they will send you samples of the slat and tapes to pick your colour. Then I would possibly use dress curtains to soften it,...See More
