Hide ugly or outdated wall outlets by attaching plastic, non-conductive childproofing outlet plugs to the back of a lightweight framed picture to create a functional decorative outlet cover. Use an upcycled vintage frame or any framed art with a flat, solid back that fits the outlet area; glue one or two plugs depending on artwork weight. The plugs keep the artwork flush and removable while concealing outlets and preserving safety. Safety plugs are inexpensive and widely available in multipacks online. Lightweight execution requires no electrical work and adds aesthetic value rather than detracting from a gallery wall or backsplash.
Are outlets in your backsplash, bathroom, or gallery wall cramping your style because they're ugly, discolored, or outdated? You can disguise them with new stylish switch plate covers, but sometimes those don't do the trick - especially if you have a gallery wall, it can quickly become an eyesore. When you need those outlets out of sight, there's a DIY hack that is imperative. It not only makes your outlet disappear, but it adds to your aesthetic rather than detracting from it.
You can use any piece of framed art you have on hand, provided it has a flat, solid back, isn't too heavy, and fits within the space of your outlet. Just glue two of the plastic safety plugs to the back of the artwork, and you're ready to hang. If your artwork is lightweight enough, you may only need to glue one plug onto the back, making this hack even easier.
