If it's been years since you have considered a space heater, it's time to give these little workhorses a fresh look. The designs on the market today are sleek, chic and efficient, allowing you to conserve energy and maintain your sense of style.
Why use a space heater? Turning down your central thermostat and using a space heater to provide extra warmth in the room you are using can be a more efficient way to heat your home. To get the most out of your space heater, be sure to close doors to any rooms not in use.

French student Florent Bouhey Fayolle designed this "sun container" to collect energy from sunlight during the day and warm the air when the temperature cools. It is not yet for sale, but it is encouraging to see elegant green innovations like this one being designed. I hope we will see more portable solar technology like this in the future.
The Max is an adorable space heater and fan combo with personality to spare. Available in red, white or yellow, it's a fun, modern device you can use year-round.
With its slender profile and silver and white finish, this heater from Stadler Form looks like it's part of a fancy sound system. Beyond the chic appearance, this heater contains a powerful ceramic heating element and has an automatic safety shutoff feature.
Amazon
This sleek little wall-mountable heater can be painted to match your walls, making it virtually invisible. Plus, it's safe for kids, and you never have to worry about it tipping over.
Amazon
I love the retro curves and chunky dial of this petite heater from Crane. Some reviewers warned that the unit gets quite hot to the touch, so don't use it around children or pets. It could be just the thing to get your master bedroom or home office nice and toasty, though.
Japan Trend Shop
You would never guess these colorful little pods are heaters. Designed by Naoto Fukusawa, the Plus Minus Zero heater comes in three colors. Be advised that it ships from Japan, so shipping costs may be steep.
Amazon
This small, slim Sunpentown tower heater can easily be tucked onto a shelf or counter to warm the room with oscillating heat. Safety features include overheat protection, cool-to-the-touch casing and a tip-over switch.
Dyson
Dyson's futuristic-looking fan heater projects enough heat to warm a whole room in winter and can be used as a powerful fan in summer.
