At the beginning of the 21st century, it was customary to flaunt all the new household appliances in kitchens and living rooms, especially when these items were distinguished by some attractive design. Perhaps they did this in order to demonstrate the level of wealth, or they simply did not know how to properly disguise the technique. Time passed, and along with it dubious traditions disappeared into oblivion, which were replaced by new ways to hide all equipment and make the interior more practical and functional..
Today it is quite difficult to surprise with a flat monitor located in a niche or sliding out of a chest of drawers, and large household appliances are easily integrated into an array of kitchen furniture. Nevertheless, we will not talk about them, but about ways to invisibly introduce a home air conditioner into the interior..
How to make an air conditioner part of the interior?
Hiding the air conditioning system is one of the urgent tasks when designing a living space. Among the proposed options, you can choose the most suitable method for your case..
In plasterboard structures
The advantages of gypsum plasterboard structural elements of the room, among other things, is that in their case it is very convenient and easy to hide not only wiring, lighting fixtures and problem areas, but also air conditioning.
At the same time, it is possible to organize several exits at once, directed to different zones of the room, using corrugated air ducts diverging from the main body of the device. This will allow the air to be conditioned at a uniform rate throughout the room..
The air conditioner can be easily installed into the ceiling structure or a separate plasterboard box in a specific part of the room.
Tip: For the sake of uninterrupted operation of the device, you should definitely provide for something like a hatch or an exit, so that, if necessary, you can clean the blockages that periodically appear in the air conditioner and air ducts.
In furniture facades
When it becomes necessary to install an air conditioner in a small room, where every square meter is counted, the question of how to hide technical devices arises instantly. Therefore, it is worthwhile to think carefully about how to remove the air conditioner so that it not only does not take up extra space, but also does not depress the visual perception of the room..
Try the following effective technique: hide the air conditioner in the front of the built-in wardrobe or in the ceiling cabinets. To do this, you just need to mount a ventilation grill in the door, which will not block the free flow of cool air flow.
It is possible to build in kitchen furniture not only household appliances, but also an air conditioner, for example, above a refrigerator or a pencil case.
It is known that warm air always goes up, and cold air always goes down. Therefore, air conditioners need to be installed at the top of the room..
In niches
A niche as a structural element can serve you not only as an interesting design solution and a decorative component of the interior, but also for placing various objects and technical equipment in its cavity, including an air conditioner. It may not be completely hidden, but it will definitely occupy a place strictly reserved for it..
Air ducts in interior partitions
Useful information for those who are going to install an air conditioner in a room combined with a partition wall. Using the already mentioned air ducts, built into the thin wall between the bedroom and the bathroom, the living room and the corridor, the kitchen and the living room, you can make the air conditioner cool the room, being directed to different areas of the room, and at the same time, be completely aesthetic.
In the area above the shelves and cabinets
Empty space under the ceiling, so often formed in a room as a result of installing a low cabinet, can be set aside for an air conditioner. This method is very rational, because it allows you to use the space wisely, not visually burdening it too much..
You can use this method if, for example, the ceilings of your apartment are high enough, and the shelves, cabinets and hanging sections are at some distance under them..
In modular and hanging furniture
It is possible to completely or only partially hide the air conditioner in a completely ingenuous way, highlighting one of the wall decorative shelves for its placement, as well as the upper blocks of modular furniture in the living room, bedroom, office.
The first option will allow you to somewhat divert attention from the device case, presenting it as an integral part of the decor or even the entire interior.
The second option will help to completely hide the air conditioner in the furniture, but still, providing free access to it at any time.
Colored conditioners
Even if there are no niches, shelves and roomy furniture in the room, the air conditioner will easily take root in the existing interior, if the color of its body matches the tone of the wall on which the device is installed. Such visual fusion will maintain harmony in the room and will not contradict other objects of other shades..
Tip: It so happens that as a result of a long search for an air conditioner, say, lemon-colored, you return home empty-handed. In this case, you should not be upset, because you can always use a self-adhesive film or custom-made arakal. All you need to do is apply a colored blank on all surfaces of the conditioner.
Wall-mounted air conditioners as a decorative element
Nowadays, many well-known manufacturers of large and small household appliances for the home can offer newly developed new air conditioning devices, expressed in an elegant design. If you are a dedicated fan of innovation in the technical field, the aesthetic qualities of flat-panel air conditioners are sure to be appreciated by you..
