Thermostats are always placed in the most visible places - an entry, the middle of a hallway, a kitchen - and are such an eye sore. Why can't builders put them in a hall closet, or pantry, or anywhere but a main area??? There probably is a good reason, but I haven't found one yet....
Our thermostat is in the middle of our kitchen wall, and I had tried to mask it as much as possible when we moved in by hanging a small grouping of framed photographs/prints around it.
I was somewhat satisfied...until I saw the cute framed thermostat idea above. So, I looked around the house and found a spare frame for my thermostat.
Make sure to find a frame large enough to allow you space to adjust your thermostat. Strip the frame of any loose hardware/pieces - including any backing, glass, etc. Then simply hammer a picture nail or two in the wall right above your thermostat, and hang your frame. Voila - a (more) hidden thermostat!
Keep reading for a few other well-hidden thermostats that I found online. Have a little "Where's Waldo" thermostat-finding-fun!

I read my husband, "Why can't builders put them in a hall closet, or pantry, or anywhere but a main area??? There probably is a good reason, but I haven't found one yet..." And said, "Yeah, why can't they?!" And then he pointed out that they need to be in a main area in order to give an accurate temperature reading. "Oh...right" was all I had to say.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love the gallery of hidden thermostats you provided! I pinned this page and hiding my thermostat is my next project!
