Five Ways to Disguise Home’s Your Air Conditioning System

People put in a lot of work and commitment to create their perfect home. So when your backyard is rivaling a botanical garden but you glace over and notice the blemish that is an old AC system, it’s not surprising that you want to conceal it. We’ve discovered a few suggestions for you, just remember not to block your AC system when decorating or landscaping around it. It needs room to breathe to continue to run effectively and efficiently.

1.Design a screen

We found this awesome idea from The Ugly Ducking House. Check out their final product and learn how to create your own AC disguiser.

2.Grow some green

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

3.Climbing roses

Add some color with climbing roses. This image is from the Bless My Weeds article on recommendations for planting climbing roses. Although their design isn’t about concealing your AC system, isn’t this a great piece to place in front for a little camoflauge?

4.Get some bushes

Listotic - Listed & Loved has great articles about DIY for your home and even had a few suggestions about disguising your A/C in their article about upgrading your home’s curb appeal. Below you can see they planted some shrubs in front of the air conditioner, giving ample area for the air conditioner to still properly run.

5.Create planters

Vertical planters are a great way to have flowers and herbs without commandeering too much yard real estate. Vertical Garden Online provides great suggestions for vertical gardens, but we loved this pretty sage wall.
