VETERAN OWNED
Every home has those visually disruptive items that can disrupt your decor, from bulky appliances to tangled cords and outdated radiators. While they may be necessary, they don’t have to be an eyesore. With a few clever tricks, you can keep your home looking stylish while still maintaining functionality. Here are some easy and effective ways to hide common household eyesores.
Ways to Hide Common Household Eyesores
Managing Power Cords
Messy cords can make any space look cluttered. One simple trick is running them under furniture or rugs for a neater appearance. If you’re planning a renovation, consider adding floor outlets to eliminate the need for visible cords.
Wireless options are also a game-changer. Bluetooth bulbs, rechargeable lamps, and magnetic lights reduce the need for long, tangled cords. If you must keep visible cords, flexible fabric covers in matching colors can help them blend in seamlessly.
Concealing Fuse Boxes
A simple fix is painting fuse boxes the same color as the wall or covering it with matching wallpaper. Just be sure to wallpaper the fuse box separately so it remains accessible.
For a more custom look, consider a wooden access panel or even a piece of artwork that can be easily removed when needed. This keeps things stylish while ensuring functionality isn’t compromised.
Hiding Thermostats
If you don’t frequently adjust your thermostat, you can cover it with wall decor, such as a mirror or framed artwork, attached with magnetic catches for easy access.
For those who prefer convenience, upgrading to a sleek smart thermostat lets you control the temperature from your phone. In this way you can hide the device behind decor without worrying about constant adjustments.
Disguising Radiators
Radiator covers are a go-to solution, but if you’re looking for something unique, try using perforated metal panels painted in a color or pattern that complements your decor. This adds an industrial touch while keeping the radiator out of sight.
Another option is placing a bench over lower radiators. This not only hides the unit but also provides extra seating or storage—as long as heat can still circulate properly. If concealing it feels like too much work, simply embrace the look by painting the radiator to blend in with the room’s design.
Masking Large Appliances with Cabinetry
For those with a bigger budget, custom cabinetry can completely hide large appliances. Interior designers often use paneled walls to conceal everything from lighting controls to air conditioners, plumbing valves, and even washers and dryers.
This approach keeps your space looking polished while maintaining accessibility. If you’re looking for a seamless and sophisticated solution, this might be the best route for you.
Conclusion
Unwanted household fixtures don’t have to take away from your home’s aesthetic. Whether you go for quick fixes like painting or wallpapering, or invest in custom cabinetry, there’s always a way to balance style with practicality. With these simple solutions to hide common household eyesores, you can keep your home looking clean and clutter-free without sacrificing function.
