Slate reeded hall wainscot with radiator cover

A hall radiator that disappears into the panelling: slate-green reeded wainscot to 1m either side, and between them a cover with a grille of rounded slats that lets the heat out, under a deep oiled oak shelf that stops short of the wall so warm air rises up the slot behind it. The shelf becomes the hall's landing spot for keys, post and a lamp, and the cover lifts off in one piece to bleed the radiator.
