From Janet
Radiators are so common in British homes that the market there is flush with a wide array of choices, for all styles of interiors. We are particularly fond of the offerings from UK company Bisque—in particular, the Classic Radiator, which is "equally at home in Victorian drawing rooms and state-of-the-art kitchens, moving easily from period homes to contemporary interiors," according to the company. For those of us on the US side of the Atlantic, Bisque's multi-colored models serve as inspiration to paint our own radiators (high-heat spray enamel paints are recommended).

What a fantastic look you can create with "classic radiator"; all the colors of the rainbow could be used if you so desire. It can transform the total feeling or the room whilst maintaining the subtle warmth that these heaters are known for.
I personally like the original colors; yet I too could be swayed to paint the day rooms to add a bright look to rooms. Of course if we tire of the color there is more of that paint to change at whim!
Inspirational!
