How do I camouflage an air return vent?

I have a 20 x 20 air return way up on my LR wall (17 ft up). It's builder grade ugly. Decorator covers go for over 300.00. Any other way to make it look nicer?

Hello Ginny! Most air return covers I have seen are white. If your walls aren't white it will stick out like a sore thumb! Can you paint it the same color as your walls so it is less noticeable? If it is that far up on your wall adding anything to distract from it will still make it look noticeable and you certainly can't cover it.
Hi Ginny. I don't know if you are handy with a scroll saw but I just saw this post on home talk that I thought was such a cool idea! If you know someone who could make them might also be cheaper. https://www.hometalk.com/diy/decorate/rooms/faux-antique-iron-vents-covers-26657618
I know what you mean. I have no idea why they are so expensive but this looks like a cheaper alternative. And they are lovely!
