Traditional Or Bold Colour Choice For Your Cast Iron Radiators?
Whilst we often talk about different styles of radiator with our clients, Ornate, Rococo, Edwardian, Princess to name but a few, one of the biggest decisions you’ll make is the colour and finish of your new cast iron radiator.
Marston and Langinger paint collection
We can paint your radiator almost any colour you choose. We are able to colour match most popular contemporary and traditional colours from premium paint ranges such as ‘Farrow & Ball’ , ‘Little Greene', ‘Fired Earth’ and ‘Annie Sloane’. If you visit our showroom in , Halifax, you can view our beautiful display of Marston & Langinger premium paint colours, all or which will be hand sprayed and finished to an exacting standard.
A question that frequently arises is “Should i choose a bold colour to make a statement in my decor or should I embrace the longevity of a traditional colour choice?”
In response we always ask you to try and imagine your potential radiator in your home in ten years time. Do you think your decor tastes will be the same? Will the radiator look as perfect should you choose to overhaul the look of your room? If you can see yourself changing your interior design on a semi regular basis, it may be wise to choose a colour option that will provide a complimentary base to a wide range of stronger colours that you can have on your walls or accessories. Whilst, your radiator can be refinished in a different colour in the future, keep in mind this can be at a not insignificant cost. Have a look at our colours page to view our classic colour range that comes as part of the price on any of our cast iron radiators.
The above being said however, we’ve yet to come across anybody who isn’t left inspired by some of our contemporary colour choices. Confident use of colours is certainly a growing theme with many of our customers. For some, the beginning of a design journey starts with a single source of inspiration. Why not let that source be your cast iron radiator? Each time you start the journey you’ll find that the outcome can be completely different!
As we say goodbye to 2020, a year in which we have truly embraced our homes as an integral part of our lives, considered renovations and refurbishments to further give them the sanctuary feel that we so long for, we’ll be looking for not only the newest interior trends but also embracing those traditional feels that never go out of fashion. It’s no surprise that one of the most popular colours of the last year, Hague Blue by Farrow & Ball, feted by the most followed Instagram interior accounts, continues to be the focus of many a homeowners eye. It’s ability to command a striking presence with a truly Victorian heritage is indeed, timeless.

What will be the colour trends in 2021, we ask? Dulux have announced ‘Brave Ground’ , an earthy shade that connects us to nature will be their colour of the year. Indeed, asked the question to predict what will be ‘big’ this year, the majority of colourists and paint houses are plumping for comforting, natural hues that perfectly balance with our need to create a relaxing sanctuary.
Regardless of trends though, Vintage Cast Iron Radiators will continue to hand finish your radiators to your perfect colour requirements, be that traditional or bold. It’s worth remembering that design longevity can always be achieved by following your own personal trends.
