How do you aesthetically hide an air conditioner unit?

Hide an outdoor air conditioning unit with fences and landscaping designed to draw the eye away from the large unit. It is also fairly easy to hide a window air conditioning unit with curtains, a picture or a chalkboard cover.

Landscaping Network points out that air conditioning units need 2 to 3 feet of room around them to allow air to circulate and to provide space for any servicing that's required. Because they send out a constant stream of hot air while working, there are limitations on the plants that can be planted around them. Building a fence around the unit, then landscaping around the fence is also a good option. A focal point should be created a distance from the unit to draw the eye away from it.
