Breaker box creative cover up

12 years ago

How do I conceal or camouflage this circuit breaker box? The room is really small and I don't have many options for bed placement. My current headboard blocks the box so I have to use something else. Tapestry? Wall paper? Mirror? Other suggestions are welcome!

Drapery or upholstery. The upholstered blocks over the box could attach with Velcro for easy removal. Is your bed in the optimal spot? The closet seems barely accessible.

decoenthusiaste,
It depends. The closet is partially blocked (opens 75%) but with the bed against this wall the sleeper gets ocean views. From the opposite wall they get a view of the side of the neighbors house.

Cover the entire wall from corner to corner with drapery like the picture decoenthusiaste posted. Even a light weight sheer would work and it would soften up the room. I suggest hanging shades on the window instead of drapes

In our city it is illegal to in any way conceal an electrical panel. Emergency responders must be able to quickly and easily locate the box. Check with your building code requirements before spending money. Sorry. Maybe you have different rules.

If you have the patience to match a pattern, wallpaper it. That is what I do to all my wall switches in wallpapered rooms. A pretty paper will really enhance your room, too.

Wallpaper would "hide" but not conceal the box from responders. Consider removing the nightstand and lamp in favor of wall mounted lamps.

and now the AFTER photo! thanks for your advice. I decided to go with a tapestry (actually a thin flatweave rug) and I am happy with the result. Any other tips on this room are appreciated! It is a beach house.
