Petrol blue slatted radiator cover
A radiator cover that turns the most awkward metre of wall in a small room into a 230mm-deep oak shelf: petrol blue slats in front, at least 60mm clear above a standard 600mm radiator, an open kick below for cool air to draw in and a brass vent grille let into the back of the top so the heat still rises. It replaces the console table there was never room for, and hides the radiator for good.
