Five Ways to Disguise Home’s Your Air Conditioning System

Families put in a lot of hours and energy to build their ideal home. So when you’ve spent all season planting, watering, and installing solar lights but you glace over and notice the eye sore that is an old AC system, it’s reasonable that you want to find a way to hide it. We’ve found a few suggestions for you, just remember not to obstruct your air conditioner when decorating or landscaping around it. It needs room to breathe to continue to operate effectively and efficiently.

1.Design a screen

We discovered this awesome idea from The Ugly Ducking House. Check out their creation and learn how to design your own A/C system disguiser.

2.Grow some green

While Listotic - Listed & Loved was giving their readers Attractive Ways to Create Privacy in Your Yard, we adored their idea of tall garden pots and tall flowers to help camouflage your air conditioner.

3.Climbing roses

Your backyard could use a pop of color with climbing roses. This is a picture from the Bless My Weeds article on suggestions for planting climbing roses. While their article isn’t about concealing your air conditioner, isn’t this a great piece to put in front for some camoflauge?

4.Put in some bushes

Listotic - Listed & Loved has fantastic articles about home improvement and even had a few suggestions about concealing your A/C in their article about upgrading your home’s curb appeal. There you can see they planted a couple shrubs in front of the AC system, giving sufficient area for the A/C to still properly operate.

5.Build planters

Vertical planters are a great way to plant flowers and herbs without taking up too much yard space. Vertical Garden Online gives great ideas for vertical gardens, but our favorite is this beautiful sage wall.
