Home renovations are fun and exciting. There are plenty of paint colours to choose from, new wallpaper prints to discover and lots of fabulous furniture to lust over. But radiators? We rarely give them a second thought.
Think of the word “radiator” and what does it conjure up in your mind’s eye? The boring, traditional design? The same one we see in nearly every home up and down the country. Perhaps something that looks like this –

Guess what…? They did!

9) THERMOSAURUS CAST IRON RADIATOR
Rawwwrrr! How fun is this dinosaur-shaped radiator? Part-radiator and part sculpture, you’d think Thermosaurus would be difficult to install, but apparently not. He installs just like any other central heating radiator. If you’re environmentally conscious (and you should be) you’ll be pleased to know that Thermosaurus’s savvy design and cast-iron material make him pretty energy efficient.
