Admittedly this site is probably not where you stop for home improvement ideas. I understand we don’t do a lot of that and when we do we typically don’t do it ourselves. We had a problem with an unattractive HVAC Return Grille Upgrade that we never felt like we could keep clean and had started to rust in spots. The solution to putting something in that was attractive and easier to clean was easy and we did it ourselves.
We purchased the Worth Home Products – 20×20 Decorative AC Return Grille – Wooden Louvered Design – Paintable Vent Cover from Amazon and it was an easy install that worked like the site claimed it would. The vents are available in a variety of sizes and come primed and ready to paint. Total install time was about 15 minutes not including painting the vent and touching up the wall.
If you have a vent that maybe doesn’t look the way you’d like? This may be your answer. We were happy with both the process and the outcome.
