Benefits of technology

[0010] In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a cover for a wall mounted control device that is both functional and decorative. A hollow is formed in a housing that is orientated over the device that is desired to be hidden. It is attached to the wall surrounding the device and allowed to rest over the device using common hardware. It may be made from a ferrous, nonferrous, polymeric, or lignin reinforced cellulose material and placed in a three dimensional Euclidean-space environment that has an enhancing, aesthetic effect wherever placed.

Problems solved by technology

A search for a wall mounted control device cover that is decorative as well as functional has been frustrating.
