Creative Ideas for Covering Unsightly Electrical Panels

Every suburban home has an issue with the electric boards dotting its walls. This unsavory addition to the decor has to be tackled with so that the cohesive look of the house can be maintained. For interior decoration aficionados, this is the perfect opportunity to try their creative skills. In order to effectively hide the necessary eyesores of electric panels, it is important to lock down the kind of changes one wants to make- utilitarian or ornamental.

The most natural direction that one can take is to put up frames of varied kinds in order to cover up. These can range from family portraits to art pieces. There is ample opportunity to display one’s likes and dislikes. Perhaps a vintage movie poster or a Madhubani painting atop the electric breaker can transform the look of a room. Another popular decorative piece is the faux window. Be it a small French window or one with slits, just painting them with light colors can brighten up the aura of a room. Mirrors too are a good investment

Multipurpose ornamentation is also a preferred option. Instead of plain decorative articles, ones that are useful can be a better choice. A fabric chalkboard that can be hung and used as daily reminders list or a magnetic frame to keep all family photographs and to-do lists in place is tried and tested. To try more unusual arenas, a bookshelf hinge is also an extremely viable and purposeful idea. New avenues in home lighting have opened up that allow a myriad of designs of relatively flat lamps that fit well onto raised surfaces. Also in case of the electric breaker being below eye level or even below waist height, furniture is a way out of the soup. Coffee tables and hollow stools with comfy cushions do the trick of hiding the walls. Read more
