How to Hide Your Appliances
- 1). Disguise large kitchen appliances behind closed doors. Attaching cabinetry panels to your appliances can help them disappear into your decorating scheme.
- 2). Hide countertop microwaves, mixers, toasters and other small kitchen appliances inside kitchen cabinets. Make sure the microwave can be pulled onto the counter before using, to provide adequate ventilation.
- 3). When cabinet space is unavailable, hide small kitchen appliances in a rolling kitchen island. Lock the wheels for an island in the center of your kitchen. Roll the island to a counter near outlets when you are ready to use the appliances.
- 4). Use a microwave cabinet or cart where space is available and use the storage space for small kitchen appliances. If the microwave area is an open space and you'd like to disguise it, throw a pretty cloth over it when it's not in use, or prop a picture or a sign in front that can easily be removed when you use the microwave.
- 5). Hide large bathroom appliances, such as water heaters or washer-dryer units, behind a folding screen that is easily removed for access.
- 6). Disguise smaller bathroom appliances like blow-dryers, curling irons, and electric razors in a cabinet. Place the cabinet as close to an outlet as possible for ease of appliance use.
- 7). Use creative appliance storage in larger bathrooms. Add a dresser or chest just for blow-dryers, curling irons and other items. Use an armoire for even more storage.
