Electrical Panel Cover

[Frank Hallett]

I am trying to find a way to fashionably cover the electrical panel, located in our spare bedroom. It is already "inset" into the wall, but my wife and I are looking for ideas to "make it go away".

Anybody's help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. If you have photos and/or plans, please feel free to send them to my email address.

Thanks in advance,

Frank

Just hang a picture over it ;-)

Hang a picture or some such thing over it.

an electrical panel in a cabinet (with or without a back) is against code. DO NOT ENCLOSE THE ELECTRICAL PANEL.

You can (I think this was inspected, but that would be 1960) put a thin plywood cover on the box, if you bolt it to the front panel of the breaker box, using some standoffs (like 3/8 to 1/2 inch) to keep the wood away from the box itself, an air gap. Make sure you can still open the box.

Otherwise, paint the cover of the panel to match the decor.
