Choosing the Right Vertical Radiator for Your Kitchen

Kitchens are notoriously tricky to decorate. You need to make sure enough space is available for appliances, storage, and furniture which can mean there’s not a lot of space left for heating. Alternatively, the larger, open space can feel cold and empty. Enter vertical radiators for kitchens. Vertical radiators are the perfect heating solution for drafty kitchens and chilly cooking spaces. Read on to learn more about our favourite options for your kitchen.

The benefits of vertical radiators for kitchens

Vertical radiators are an excellent addition to your kitchen and can offer you more versatility than horizontal designs while still offering warmth and excellent heat output. Opting for a vertical orientation will allow the radiator to fit into tight spaces with ease, making the most of the upwards space and allowing more room for kitchen cupboards, appliances, and furniture. If you’re also looking to add an interesting decorative touch to your kitchen, a vertical radiator is an excellent way to do so. They can become an eye-catching decorative feature if chosen in a striking colour or complementary metal and the height makes the room feel taller by drawing the eye upwards.

Metallic tones

Metal radiators in colours such as raw metal column radiators and copper designer radiators are the perfect options for kitchens. They work well with the other metal fittings such as cupboard handles, appliances, and cookware in your kitchen, bringing the room together and making it feel like a cohesive space.

White kitchen radiators

If you have light-coloured decor, you may prefer to choose white radiators for the space. White is unobtrusive and a clean colour that can help keep a small space feeling open and airy (even when it’s not). Column radiators offer you an industrial, rustic feel and have excellent heat output so if you’re kitchen is on the chilly side, this is one of the best types of radiators to choose.

Designer Vertical Radiators

Small vertical radiators for kitchens

If you’re working with a smaller space, or don’t want your radiator to become a large feature in your kitchen, a small vertical radiator is an ideal solution. Models such as the Sherwood White 2 column radiator are very tall but very narrow and can fit in the slimmest of spaces to provide heat without being a stand-out feature. Alternatively for shorter nooks, the Typhoon Black Designer Radiators can make the use of more compact spaces while still offering the longer vertical style without overpowering the space.
