How to hide the necessary, but ugly things?

Wires

If they are in plain sight, the interior looks untidy. There are several ways to mask wires:

• During overhaul, the cables are hidden in the wall... To do this, it is necessary to outline their future location in advance and arm yourself with a puncher. Depressions, after conducting the wires, are laid with plaster, putty and closed with finishing. The main plus is aesthetics.
• If the repair is cosmetic, plastic skirting boards, platbands on the door with special recesses for the cable, as well as a decorative box.

• Computer wires can be joined by corrugation or fixed under the table top using clerical binders and screws, holders or clips.
• Hiding the wires together with the outlet will help regular box with holes... For connoisseurs of aesthetics, a special plastic container is suitable for the color of the interior.

Pipes

Communications in the bathroom lovers of classic style, as well as modern interiors, where every detail is thought out, strive to hide in the kitchen. Hidden pipes really make things tidier. Here are some ways to mask communications:

• Sanitary cabinet: the perfect way to create an attractive interior with easy access to pipes.
• False wall or box made of metal profiles, sheathed with plasterboard, plastic or plywood. In this case, to access the pipe connections, it is necessary to leave hatches.
• Vanity unit in a bathroom with solid facades - the most practical way, since there will be room for hygiene products inside.
• Cloth or roll curtain.
• Painting matching the walls is the most budgetary solution.
• Removable apron in the kitchen - for the experimenters.

Routers and consoles

Unsightly gadgets do not have to be left in plain sight. For them, you can find a couple of decorative boxes, if the gadgets are stored on a dresser or table, and make several holes in them for wires and antennas.

Those who hang devices on the wall will love the special locker: it is easy to find in the online store or to make it yourself.

Heating battery

If you do not want to accentuate the radiator and paint it in a bright color, use a decorative perforated screen. It will hide the battery and will not interfere with the circulation of warm air. You can also mask the element with:

• Tulle.
• Furniture (table, armchair, built-in cabinet).
• A special fabric cover or screen.

Pet supplies

The hidden cat litter box prevents unwanted dirt and odor and gives your pet privacy. You can hide the "toilet" in furniture (cabinet or closet) or build it in a plastic container.

For bowls, set aside the bottom drawer of the dresser to keep your pet's dining area tidy at least occasionally.

Gas water heater

The most aesthetic solution is to integrate it into the top line of the headset. The cabinet should not have a bottom or top.The facade can be installed with perforations: it will decorate the interior and provide the necessary ventilation. A simpler idea is to bring the speaker and the wall it sits on to a single color.

Also column can be closed a slate-coated panel, but such a decorative technique is not suitable for everyone.

Mop and cleaning products

The best option is pantry or wardrobe, but if there are no separate rooms, provide a compartment in a built-in or free-standing cabinet. It can be located both in the living room and in the bathroom. Another worthy option is to use a folding mop: finding a place for it is not difficult.

Idea! Replace the tall, round bucket with a low-rimmed basin that fits easily under the bathtub.

Little things in the hallway

Returning home, we immediately get rid of some things, putting them aside: keys, accounts, glasses and other accessories. In scattered form, they litter the room.

If you get locker-housekeeper with built-in shelves and hooks, little things will no longer spoil the interior. If there is a curbstone in the corridor, use the sash.

Air conditioning

A rare unit looks so presentable as to become a decoration of a room, so they prefer to hide the air conditioner in wall cabinets with a hinged door. It can be a stand-alone structure or built-in, for example, in a rack. Choose a facade with a lattice.

Counter

An electrical shield installed in an apartment rarely fits into the design. The easiest way to decorate a device "recessed" into the wall is enough close it with a picture.

In other cases, a countertop cabinet should be provided for the counter without a back wall: complete with a shelf, a slate board for notes or a mirror, the product looks stylish and presentable.

Any piece of furniture that annoys you can be hidden or disguised - this will improve the apartment, making it more comfortable and attractive.
