A top of a radiator can be the perfect place for a shelf. When a piece of wood or stone is placed on top, a bulky radiator becomes a handy side table or bookshelf. If you're using wood, just be aware that it might warp over time.

What are radiator shelves for?

They will help deflect the heat back into the room rather than escape up the wall. Also reduces heat staining above the radiators. Simply affix the specially designed brackets under the shelves and slip the bracket over the radiator without having to drill into the wall.

Can you put furniture above a radiator?

It's safe to put furniture in front of a radiator as long as there is at least a foot in-between them. You should be extra careful with leather, wood, and upholstered pieces of furniture, though, as leather can get ruined and upholstery and wood pieces will absorb most of the heat- perhaps catch on fire, too.
