Posting a picture of my actual house would be outing but this is ours and I absolutely love it!

I can't send a pic as ours are in the garage not on the walls yet, what are you trying to choose, colour? We've bought white 2 column victorian style as it's an old house.

Acova. White. Regularly recommended on MN and rightly so. Brilliant heat output and seem to stay warm for quite a long time after the heating goes off. We have a mix of vertical ones and lower height horizontal ones.

We also have the standard Acova Classics which are sold through Screwfix and many others. They work really well, and we're happy with the look in our kitchen diner. I'd consider going for a slightly more traditional look in a space where a "vintage" appearance mattered more to me.

One thing to be aware of is that the larger ones at least are delivered in packaging which is, in my opinion, entirely inadequate to prevent damage. One of ours had a small dent and a very noticeable scratch, and we had to wait a couple of weeks for a replacement. I'd still order them again, but would try to build in a delay between delivery and fitting to cover this possibility.

I've got 4 of these.
2 in the lounge (either side of the patio doors) and 1 in the adjacent playroom which were all put in about 14 years ago when I had a small extension.
1 in the kitchen fitted about 2.5 years ago when I had the kitchen redone (I still had the rad from the original purchase as always planned it put it in the dining room but never got round to it).

Very pleased with them - they fit in without taking up much wall space and heat the room well.
