The furnace door is soooo ugly! And it's right next to the bathroom so it's in plain sight. Yes, it's functional so I guess air needs to be allowed in. Something easy and inexpensive and safe that looks nice. Any ideas?
Whoops! Here's a picture! Knotty pine paneling so it's a no on painting to match wall. And it's not possible to add a bookcase as it's in a narrowish hall.
You can remove it and spray paint it a color that will look nice with knotty pine, depending on your furniture colors, it can compliment the pine attached one sample picture of a color that looks good with the pine
You'd need to remove the metal frame part too then make a wood frame to hold grate here's basic idea http://lovegrowswild.com/2014/05/galvanized-metal-menu-board/ build for whatever the size of grate, just attach with hinges like a regular door.You could use 3-4 or (depending on weight of door 6 if needed) self closing hinges on inside of door and jamb. just check out kitchen cabinet hardware at Lowes or somewhere you'll need flush mount. Spray painting grate black will make it even less noticeable.
Pull out metal frame and make your own here's basic idea you'll need to make it your own size to fit opening http://lovegrowswild.com/2014/05/galvanized-metal-menu-board/ then you'll have to add hinges to door frame and door. I'd say 4 self closing kitchen cupboard ones mounted on inside of door maybe 6 if needed

Your comment...
Photo? When I had that, I painted same color as the wall.
Unfortunately the wall is knotty pine( yech) so painting to blend in won't work.Thanks for replying.
Here are some ideas. I personally like the bookcase on hinges that swings open.

Would love that bookcase! Thanks for the reply.
Hello, why don't you paint it to match the wall color or paint it a nice accent color, it will look cleaner with new paint as well.
You can remove it and spray paint it a color that will look nice with knotty pine, depending on your furniture colors, it can compliment the pine attached one sample picture of a color that looks good with the pine
No pic....but if it has panel/louvered sections maybe replace with some nice metal gratinghttps://www.homedepot.com/p/M-D-Building-Products-1-ft-x-2-ft-Cloverleaf-Mill-Aluminum-Sheet-57559/301425711?cm_mmc=Shopping%7CG%7CBase%7CD25H%7C25-4_BUILDERS_HARDWARE%7CNA%7CPLA%7c71700000035978695%7c58700004046980559%7c92700037059910574&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-KmfzMnN3gIVB8pkCh0xUQlkEAQYAiABEgJBNvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
