The stencil cover is decorative so even if it draws attention to the vent above the door it is nice to look at.

Thank you. I searched a way to keep the air flowing without having to look at that ugly vent above the door. By t(he way it never fell off. I sold the house and live now in a new-built house without vents in the walls.

You could just turn the regular vent the opposite way so the vents face the ceiling, you don't see the openings and it blends into the wall. I like the fact it was painted to match the wall to start with. I dislike when someone takes the time to paint a room some gorgeous color then they have these white vents that jump out at you and look out of place. Prime and paint them to match your wall, install so you don't see the openings. They blend in and more importantly don't restrict the airflow.

I also like to paint the “hole” black. Even turning my vents the opposite direction I could still see the 2 x 4. So I painted it and the inside black so it’s less noticeable.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
How much air flow did this cut down? I have huge 'heat pump' vents on my ceiling and would be afraid to cover them and block the air flow.
Instead of paper could you use those magnetic covers and cut out a design. Then you can take them off when you want and they will stay put and be long lasting.
