How to Hide an Insulation Hose

No matter how well you decorate a room, an ugly insulation hose glaring back at you will affect the entire look of the area. That eyesore will be the first thing your guests' eyes are drawn to. If removing the insulation hose is not an option, it may seem as if little can be done. However, a few methods are available that will help hide and disguise the insulation hose.

Japanese shoji screen or room divider
Curtain rod
Ceiling-mount brackets
Curtains
2-by-4 lumber
Bookcase or other tall furniture

Instructions

- 1
  Place a Japanese shoji screen -- also known as a room divider -- in front of the insulation hose. These dividers are available in various widths and designs so you are sure to find one that will complement the room decor.
- 2
  Install a curtain rod on the ceiling in front of the insulation hose. Use ceiling-mount brackets screwed into the ceiling to keep the rod safely in place. Place a curtain with colors and designs that match the room on the rod.
- 3
  Create a box using 2-by-4s that will go around the entire length of the hose. If possible, apply the same molding that you have installed in the room around the bottom and top of the box. This will tie the box together with the look of the room.
- 4
  Place a bookcase or other tall furniture in front of the hose. The furniture will help conceal the insulation hose. Leave a few inches between the back of the furniture and the hose.
