Right at the bottom of the basement stairs, there is an air conditioner coolant pipe.  It is in a very inconvenient place on the wall.

Someone challenged me to find a clever way to either hide it or disguise it, and I think I did!  I looked online for ideas, and then came up with my own idea, using materials I already had on hand.

First, a green pool noodle…

Attach some green deco mesh using green pipe cleaners….

And voila!  A straight kind of wreath thing, decorating my basement wall!

How would you disguise an ugly pipe on the wall in your basement like this one? If I had more resources, I might consider building a cabinet around this pipe. But since it was right at the bottom of the basement steps, a cabinet would look out of place.

Later on I put shelving units beside the pipe, so it didn’t look as noticeable.
