I would get a good curtain first and see if that makes a difference. We bought a fairly cheap IKEA "thermal" curtain and I just doubled it up (two curtains) on one of the IKEA double poles. It helped loads.
You can defo get better curtains obvs.
EDIT - try and seal the door too to remove the drafts!

bad idea?
What's the concern?
The easiest thing would be to start with the curtain. Then later you can see if the rad is necessary.
The curtain is also less effort to search for as you're not weighing up btu vs aesthetics vs fitting vs etc etc. Just what you like the look of in the right length.

The leccy rad will cost you a fortune to run. Why not just stump up for a plumbed-in rad? Won’t be long before payback.

Thinking of fitting an electric radiator next to the front door and pairing it with a front door curtain. Planners didn't let us change the door and so it's just a cold draughty heatsink. There's space on the wall next to it for a colum rad and an unused plug socket. Is this a bad idea?
