You need it. But you don’t have to see it.

1. THE COLOR WRAP
Most window A/Cs have slats or sections of bare plastic that can be covered with wrapping, scrapbook, or printed paper. Use spray mount or double-sided tape.
2. THE CUSTOM CABINET
Environmental therapist Matthew Tudor-Jackson designed a lacquered ash cabinet that hides his A/C and all the cords and cables attached to other living-room electronics. Two slatted doors let cool air out.
3. THE VEIL
Prop stylist Lauren Shields made a short café curtain that sits a third of the way up the window just high enough to cover the A/C. She pulls it aside when the unit is on.
4. THE OBJET D’ART
Designer Jayne Michaels and furniture dealer Larry Weinberg used vintage holed tiles and an iron frame to create a sculpture that stands on a table before the window.
All you need: a meshlike material
that’s nice to look at and lets air through.
5. THE WALL RELIEF
Artist Leslie Fry designed a bas-relief sculpture to fit over her wall-unit A/C. She built a wooden frame, then affixed a cover made from plastic forms found in cookie boxes.
