""The three ugly panels were definitely unwelcoming and an eyesore!" she says."
""The entryway is an integral part of our home; it's the ultimate drop-and-go zone, so it had to be functioning efficiently for us," Hillary says. "Since it's the first thing we see when we open our door, we also wanted it to feel really welcoming and cozy," she adds."
""The mirror is leaned against the panel and secured by hooking it into a screw on top that's easy to unhook when we need to access the panel," Hillary says."
""The giant mirror is great for outfit checks, plus it bounces light off the window in the stairwell to the rest of the dim entryway," she adds."
A renter transformed a 30-square-foot blank white hallway with three unsightly electrical and heating panels into a functional, welcoming entry. The most-accessed electrical panel is disguised by a large mirror leaned and secured to a top screw so it can be easily unhooked for access; the mirror also provides outfit checks and reflects stairwell light into the dim space. A large vent panel that needs only biannual access was covered with removable DIY faux shiplap. An IKEA-hack bench adds storage and drop-and-go functionality to maximize the narrow space.
