The Easiest Way to Disguise Your Internet Router
Recognize this? Of course you do! It’s your internet router, the bane of a decorators existence! Your router is ugly and an eye sore and you want to hide it. But it needs to be hidden in plain site because heaven knows you can’t risk a slow or blocked signal. You have pins to pin, movies to stream, blogs to read! I wanted to hide my router too when I gave my office/craft room a makeover. The easiest solution? Hide it in a book! Of course for me it had to be a vintage book!
Can you find it?
Hidden in plain sight in a Vintage Dictionary cover. Just make sure you choose a book that will be tall enough to fully cover your book. And with an Exacto knife cut along the spine of the book being careful not to cut through the cover of the book.
Your book without the pages will be a bit delicate. So handle it with care. And don’t throw away all those vintage book pages you just removed. These are perfect for crafting, using in your display or in decorating in other areas of your home.
You can bundle your hidden router with other books as I did or just use one book and turn your router on it’s side. Then you can use it as a base for other displays.
Either way, it’s a great way to disguise an everyday essential in your home.

Awesome idea! I am always trying, unsuccessfully I might add, to disguise my router. I am so copying this.
Stopping by from Your Design This Time link party. Love this! Totally doing this! Pinning:)
Does this not interfere with signal? Our cable installer was adamant that signal doesn’t travel through things well. I love this idea!
So I have never had a problem with it. We can even go outside and still get our wifi signal. But I guess it probably depends on your house and where you have your router. I also haven’t noticed any problem with the router over heating. The book isn’t hugging the router that tightly and the back is still free to vent. But it is something to consider.
This is brilliant! I love old books (especially the colorful bindings of Reader’s Digest) and would love to do this in our home. Pinning to Your Designs This Time Features and Favorites board!
