Do you have a circuit breaker in your home that’s a huge eyesore?

While circuit breakers provide power to your home, they can also be quite unsightly. Luckily, there are some creative covers you can put together to hide your circuit breaker box. 

Keep reading to learn how to hide your circuit breaker with a creative cover.

1. Hang a Picture Over It 

Perhaps one of the easiest ways to hide a circuit breaker is to hang a picture over it. You can hang up a piece of artwork, a framed photo of family travels, or anything else that conceals. 

When hanging a picture, you want to make sure you choose the right frame. Obviously, you can’t nail anything into the circuit breaker, so make sure the frame you choose is wide enough to so that it goes about an inch beyond the rim of the electric panel. Also, make sure the frame is easy to remove so that you can access your circuit breaker without issue.

2. Cover It With a Magnetic Chalkboard 

If your circuit breaker is in a room where you get chores done, then covering it with a magnetic chalkboard is a great idea. For example, if your circuit breaker is in your laundry room, you can cover it with a magnetic chalkboard and then use that chalkboard for hanging up chore charts or leaving notes to your family members. 

You’ll still have easy access to your circuit breaker, and you’ll also have a nice new spot for writing lists and keeping track of household tasks.

3. Hang Rustic Wooden Sign

If your home has a rustic vibe to it, a wooden sign is the perfect item for covering your circuit breaker. 

Not only that but creating a wooden sign can be a very fun DIY project. All you need is some wooden planks, paint, stain, and a little time. You can then write whatever you want on the sign. Many people like to write their favorite quote or something simple like “home sweet home.”

4. Woven Wall Hanging 

If you’re looking to hang something over your circuit breaker that you can easily remove, a woven wall hanging is your best bet. Woven wall hangings are very trendy right now, and you can find all sorts of great ones on Etsy or other craft sites. 

If you want, you can also make your own with a small soft rug, a dowel, and some brass ornaments.

5. Buy a Decorative Electrical Panel Cover 

Turns out, a lot of homeowners are looking for ways to cover their circuit breakers. Nowadays, you can easily find peel and stick decorative coverings for circuit breakers. 

These coverings work very similar to peel and stick wallpaper. All you need to do is order a sheet of decorative covering, cut it to size, and then stick it onto your electrical panel. You can find decorative panel covers in stores like Etsy.
