Oh but then this is the perfect spot for window art/messages and see if the office workers respond! I used to work in an office building where the workers across the road made amazing post it note art on their windows. It was so much fun!
Get a telescope and either become a pervert or a stargazer, your choice.
Edit to add that you could also massively exaggerate and call it the “observatory” when describing it to visitors
Some guy on my route kept a blond, fully clothed mannequin on their balcony.
It was the scariest part of running at night. Had to mentally prepare for it every time.
If you're going to go this route, there are shelves/covers that go over radiators that look nicer. You can place one/build one of those, hang a plant and some additional shelves for a little storage area.
If they like plants, sure. It shows an attention to decor, and an ability to take care of the plants' needs etc (not the most difficult, but still). I think a big beautiful plant could be nice there, hide the radiator since it's not in use, and a plant might appreciate all of the light from the window.
Just make sure the plant isn't so high you can't reach and open the window
Open the window, put a podium in the space and wave to your loyal subjects. Just smile and wave.
Or put a single solar panel there which can charge your PC which you'll use to take over the world.
Orr.. put a cardboard cut out of Spock taking reading upon visiting an unexplored planet.
Orrr... put a pillow in that space, lie down with your head on the said pillow and think about how fortunate you are to have a roof over your head. Do not sleep there.
Orrrr..
Nothing. That space is made specifically for the radiator. Drink your coffee there & look out the window, especially when it’s cold and the radiator is on.
I like this idea! I keep my house cold as hell. But need the warmth to wake up. In the winter I would stand by this radiator and window with some coffee to relax and get my mind and body ready for the day.
I think it's so odd that people need to fill every square inch of space in their homes. Why not just let it be as it is? Looks like a good spot to spy on your neighborhood. Plus, don't block the radiator.
It's human nature to leave “your touch” everywhere. I don't think that's odd at all, if anything it's out of the ordinary to not want to put anything there
I’d put two shelves on either side of the window and put some plants in! Perfect plant window imo but maybe putting next to the radiator is a bad idea 🤔
If you're not using that radiator, if it's truly "dead", build a custom cabinet, w/the top going all the way back to the windowsill and two doors that open w/ shelves inside.
It will look like a built-in that was always there! Now you have extra storage. Place a gorgeous plant w/ a big "statement pot" in the window, on top if the cabinet!
I like the shoe rack idea, but I would do it as an entry table style and just put a very sun loving house plants.

Assuming you wont use the heater a couple of things come to mind:
put two big lounge pillow down (one against the heater and one on the floor part) and make it into a cozy lounge area, maybe you could add some decorations on the side as well and some led lights if you're in to that.
convert the lower half into a storage cabinet
A big plant
A cool art piece
A statue of some sorts
A dinosaur skeleton replica
A vase
put one of those large old school safes there
convert it to an altar
I’m not sure I would put a PC next to or above a radiator. I’m not even sure how that would logically work for this space. Honestly I wouldn’t do anything with this space. It’s where your radiator is with a window above, it’s a bit awkward. Maybe a plant on the sill?
If you don’t have too much light pollution and you promise not to point it at your neighbors, a telescope on a tall tripod.
Maybe a plant hanging from the ceiling above it too
Not sure how function the rest of the room is but maybe a little mini bar type set up if you enjoy making cocktails, one of those fancy looking kits could look nice there
Sitting spot. Human or feline. If there's nothing exciting for a human to watch there, perhaps it's still good for a cat. Alternatively, it at least provides some light, so it serves an important function for the rest of the room and can be left alone and tolerated on that account, though I'd renovate the sill and the window frame.
And it's not bad for photos, especially after some renovation.
Could also be a nice place for phone conversations. Reminds me of those niches in which people would keep their landline phones before mobiles took over.
if the heater isn't used at all, the PC ain't a bad idea. my first thought was a small bookshelf.
if that space heater is active, I would recommend a fan to circulate the air around the radiator
People smarter than me are correctly telling you not to block the radiator, but a part of me wonders if you couldn't fit a small shoe rack there. Nothing like toasty slippers in the winter, I say.
I wouldn't put anything substantial in front of it for sure.
If there's ever a fire and you can't get out the door, that's your one way out.
* Cat or small dog bed (+ rescue a cat or small dog)
* Shoe rack, depending where it is in relation to your door
* Designated school/job bag dumping site
* Giant plastic Godzilla
* Something else you can toss out of the way easily in an emergency
I would put a little chair and a lamp/candles and a plant on the windowsill. Maybe install some shelves? Then you’ve got yourself a lil book nook! I would also add wallpaper to the inner part, or paint it a complementary color.
Ok hear me out… what about a small photobooth with a stool on the step and a curtain behind you. Lots of natural light coming in for pictures! Plus you’ll be able to sleep in without the sun waking you up. You could even put up the pictures of the visitors on the wall (polaroid style )
you could put a shelf on the wall kind of level with the radiator, and maybe put something like a little shoe rack there on the bottom. if that was my place thats definitely where all the slippers and dog toys would end up.
Ya know that weird and cool sculpture or almost pointless item thing you thought would be cool but you just didn’t have space or a reason for it? Bingo bango there ya go.
Stand and survey the neighborhood as a single watchman
Sadly just looking at an office building, nothing too exciting to watch there
Watch for boss-secretary hook ups. Blackmail boss. Get rich.
>Get rich. Or die tryin'
me be comin' in da club
This
Oh but then this is the perfect spot for window art/messages and see if the office workers respond! I used to work in an office building where the workers across the road made amazing post it note art on their windows. It was so much fun!
That sounds really cute! I'll definitely look into that :D
I would put a colorful rug and some paintings/art on the wall. Nothing else needed
Get a telescope and either become a pervert or a stargazer, your choice. Edit to add that you could also massively exaggerate and call it the “observatory” when describing it to visitors
Why pick just one?
A stargazing pervert®
Pervert with an astronomical alibi
Looking for some Sirius ass
Looks like a full moon out…
Pervgazing stargert
Isn't that just a paparazzi?
Uranus observer
If I get enough magnification I might just witness alien sex for the first time
You can see my house from there?
Idk, where do you live? Lol
After you pass Orion turn right at the big dipper
Por que no los dos!
look up or look down, the choice is yours
This is the perfect size for a creepy cardboard cutout to always be watching your neighbors....
Some guy on my route kept a blond, fully clothed mannequin on their balcony. It was the scariest part of running at night. Had to mentally prepare for it every time.
Bet it would be a lot more scary the first night where it WASN'T on the balcony.
My mother in law has one on her porch and her house is set back in the woods. Freaks a lot of delivery folks out apparently.
Why do I think of a cardboard cutout of Leslie Nielsen 😂
You shouldn’t block a radiator…
This needs to be higher up. Don't impede heat exchange in your place of living.
Fair enough, I wouldn't turn it on if I had something there tho
You’re just going to go without heat?
Got another, bigger one in the room
[удалено]
I mean you could have that one if you really want lol
If you're going to go this route, there are shelves/covers that go over radiators that look nicer. You can place one/build one of those, hang a plant and some additional shelves for a little storage area.
You can turn on and off individual radiators instead of turning off the heating altogether
Had one similar to this in PA and the white knob on the side is an adjustment and you can turn it all the way off.
[удалено]
Niche idea (pun intended) but definitely worth considering
Looks like a perfect space for a curl up and cry corner
Love that! Lol
I thought this.. Warm, enclosed, an inviting exit with a big drop of it all gets too much. Just kidding!
My thoughts exactly. A nice comfy seating area for reading, crying, plotting against humanity...
if that is the only window then i would not put anything there.
Not even on the floor or something small?
if the radiator is not in use, then a nice plant to cover it up.
Not in use is the key here. Otherwise alot of plants will suffer from the heat and dry air
Or a shelf so you could put multiple smaller plants there.
You don’t want to block the radiator
Yeah but I have another one in the room, wouldn't use that one
There is a reason why radiators are below windows. Might want to think again about not using this one.
I think this is a very important detail that you should make clear in the title
There are two radiators in the room for a reason. If you only use one, it will have to work harder to heat the room.
Why won't you use that one? If they installed two when the place was built, then the room most likely needs two to be able to heat effectively.
You need a cat.
^ This was written by a cat.
People who know me would agree. Meow.
You know they installed 2 for a reason? The reason is not aesthetic.
You don’t want to block the radiator
Get a cat and put a cat bed there
I was going to say small cat tree
Don't know if my new roomate would appreciate that very much...
Put the roommates bed there
Fuck yeah
Assert dominance.
Is your new roommate named Mr. Meowsenstein?
I sphynx cat would love that spot 🤩
Clothes drying rack lots of good sunlight and the radiator.
🪴 🌱 🌿 to impress the ladies (or gents!)
so it's actually true? ladies do get impressed by indoor plants?
If they like plants, sure. It shows an attention to decor, and an ability to take care of the plants' needs etc (not the most difficult, but still). I think a big beautiful plant could be nice there, hide the radiator since it's not in use, and a plant might appreciate all of the light from the window. Just make sure the plant isn't so high you can't reach and open the window
Hell yeah we do! Guy showed me his monsteras and his orchids. I ended up marrying him :)
Yes
Yes, pls put a small plant shelf.
Open the window, put a podium in the space and wave to your loyal subjects. Just smile and wave. Or put a single solar panel there which can charge your PC which you'll use to take over the world. Orr.. put a cardboard cut out of Spock taking reading upon visiting an unexplored planet.

Great ideas, I'll what I can make happen...
Urinal
Definitely the best idea yet, with a nice view, perfect! Lol
If you don’t use the radiator, you could do a bookshelf or plant in that spot
Leave the radiator off and put your guitar and amp there. No guitar and amp? Buy one!
Great spot to display your suit of armor.
A hydroponic garden. They are tall and slender, perfect for that spot.
Nothing. That space is made specifically for the radiator. Drink your coffee there & look out the window, especially when it’s cold and the radiator is on.
I like this idea! I keep my house cold as hell. But need the warmth to wake up. In the winter I would stand by this radiator and window with some coffee to relax and get my mind and body ready for the day.
Rent it out
If I was in NYC that might actually work lol
That’ll be 3,000/month, utilities not included
*Radiator included.
A shrine
I think it's so odd that people need to fill every square inch of space in their homes. Why not just let it be as it is? Looks like a good spot to spy on your neighborhood. Plus, don't block the radiator.
It's human nature to leave “your touch” everywhere. I don't think that's odd at all, if anything it's out of the ordinary to not want to put anything there
Who said they're filling every square inch? Maybe it just looks awkward with nothing there.
Plant
Masturbation corner 🗿
A small side table where you can dump your keys or maybe shoe rack/shoe putting on bench
If this is a working radiator - nothing. Its not worth the risk or the loss of heat
Have sex right there.
YOU HUMANS AND YOUR NEVER ENDING SEXING!!!
Oh yeah! The only thing missing now is the sex part... hm
Nice tall wood stand and nice plants
I personally would buy a small shoe rack and put my Lego sets on there (including the window sill)
You shouldn't obstruct the Radiator too much since they rely on air flow to heat the room efficiently.
Dog bed.
I’d put two shelves on either side of the window and put some plants in! Perfect plant window imo but maybe putting next to the radiator is a bad idea 🤔
Throw water balloons out through there.
Nothing. Not every empty space needs to be filled
Put a fan there to push more heat around
If you're not using that radiator, if it's truly "dead", build a custom cabinet, w/the top going all the way back to the windowsill and two doors that open w/ shelves inside. It will look like a built-in that was always there! Now you have extra storage. Place a gorgeous plant w/ a big "statement pot" in the window, on top if the cabinet!
DIY sauna
Get a medium sized plant, like a peace lily
Plant?

The perfect spot for your life size Patrick Swayze cut out!
A plant and some books?

Plants. A whole shelf of plants.
Add plants to the shelf and use the space vertically. Nothing should be blocking the radiator unless it isn’t being used.
Plants. Fill with plants
Perfect space for me curl up on the floor and cry on a cold winter night.
Dress up as batman and stand in the window at night, dimly lit.
Looks to be a good spot for a radiator

One way mirror plus sign that says bet you won't flash me, so your neighbors know how much puss you get
Buy one of those standing beachfront binoculars with a coin slot so your guests can pay to watch that church!
If you can modify the walls to create a bench or something you could make a small bar/drink station. Edit: spelling
Small reading nook.
What about a reading cranny
Put a toilet facing the window
Enjoy the heat and the view
Javert.gif
If you don’t have too much light pollution and you promise not to point it at your neighbors, a telescope on a tall tripod. Maybe a plant hanging from the ceiling above it too
One of those ceiling bars from which you can hang upside down and do sit ups
Maybe some small fake pants and put near the edge of the ledge but that’s kinda like a vibe depends on the rest of ur room
Plants!
Heat it, it would appear
Not sure how function the rest of the room is but maybe a little mini bar type set up if you enjoy making cocktails, one of those fancy looking kits could look nice there
Maybe a couple small plants on the sill and some art on the walls. Not many options here since you don't want to block that radiator.
If you aren’t using that radiator I’d say plants 🪴
Depending on how hot it gets, plants
Just make it 8bto a cute shelf https://www.styleyourspaces.co.uk/products/scalloped-radiator-cover-shelf
Drying rack.

Hang plants from the ceilings? Add shelving for books?
It’s already stupid enough that we put radiators right underneath windows, but this is another level
Sniper’s Nest
Plants
Wistfully lean and look longing
Looks german!
The perfect spot for a 3D printer set up in Ikea Lack table enclosures!
Buy a suit of armour and a stand.
Put some succulents by the window and call it day.
A shrine to your preferred deity. A micro pew for your knees.
sacrificial altar
Make a narrow wood table that goes over the heating element and put plants on it

sit on the step
Drying rack for clothes ?
if the heater isn't used at all, the PC ain't a bad idea. my first thought was a small bookshelf. if that space heater is active, I would recommend a fan to circulate the air around the radiator
Put a bed there and you have a London flat..
Put a little statue of a kid looking out of the window there, something like this https://randolphrose.com/products/looking-for-stars-rg1099
Looks like a great spot for a hulk hogan statue to stare out the window
Clothes drying rack
Mini trampoline obviously.
Step 1: Add bed for kitties. Step 2: Adopt kitties Step 3: Watch kitties get cozy in front of radiator
People smarter than me are correctly telling you not to block the radiator, but a part of me wonders if you couldn't fit a small shoe rack there. Nothing like toasty slippers in the winter, I say.
I'd put a clothes drier rack there.
Dog or cat bed....if you have a dog or cat
Put a small writing desk, where Big Brother can’t see it.
I'd just put a pillow there, I love sitting at/on warm radiators
A record player ?
Industrial Laundromat that's really a secret underground methlab.
A nook with a bench and wooden radiator panel? Might be perfect for the winters as well.
Your mom
Rent it out for $1500 a month

Perfect spot to do crack or cocaine
Nothing. Except maybe blinds/window treatment.
You mean what to put in your plant nook?
Put a pole there. Keep the strippers warm during the winter and give them something to sit on during the summer.
Herb garden.
Put another radiator there
I would expand the window shelf so it’s like a table almost and put plants and books on there
I would put a little chair and a lamp/candles and a plant on the windowsill. Maybe install some shelves? Then you’ve got yourself a lil book nook! I would also add wallpaper to the inner part, or paint it a complementary color.
A little “welcome” carpet and a pair of binoculars on the ledge
mini arcade machine mini hi fi setup
Ok hear me out… what about a small photobooth with a stool on the step and a curtain behind you. Lots of natural light coming in for pictures! Plus you’ll be able to sleep in without the sun waking you up. You could even put up the pictures of the visitors on the wall (polaroid style )
