Hi everyone,
Our antiquated heating system is being stripped and replaced with a new one. DH wanted a smart heating system with various zones you can control individually rather than the (imo perfectly adequate) old fashioned way of individually turning on and off the radiators as and when you need them.
This all sounded fine to me and the plumbers have now fitted the pipes and I've bought the radiators for our Victorian house - period style but modern rads quite like this goo.gl/images/FFs55e.
But now I've found out as part of the smart system we have to have these valves which sort of ruin the look I was going for goo.gl/images/9XQCzU
I know I am being precious about it all but I was so excited about having such gorgeous radiators and they've been positioned (under windows, opposite doorways etc) so as to almost be a design feature of the house now 👸. I also realise I'm acting spoiled by moaning about having a smart system 😳
Given that we're now nailed into having the rads and system and valves I'm trying to come up with ideas of how to camouflage the valves. They only have to be on one side. So far I've thought of pot plants (for ones in the corner) and baskets (for ones under a console table in the hall) but would love to hear any clever ideas from you clever lot 🤓😊 xxx
