To think these radiators are ugly

[whollyboloney]

We need to replace some old radiators and I'm getting quotes from heating engineers. By default they're all expecting to install what they call "standard modern radiators" that look like this. I realise I can have whatever radiators I want, but before I challenge the "standard" I just wanted to check whether other people agree with me that they're ugly or whether I'm just being unreasonably precious.

I've just had to look at the radiators in my own home, where I've lived for years, to see what they look like! They really are not a feature that I notice. They're mainly white and standard like your first link (only the bathrooms have a different style) - dull, and truly unnoticeable, which is fine by me.

I've got these in my house... they're normal radiators aren't they? I thought most people had these...

Just nomal rads. Anything else can be too try hard and a dust trap.

I've got these in my house. It's never occurred to me to like or dislike them! They're just radiators. I barely notice them.

I have these, and, yes, they are very ugly.
