How can I hide my unsightly knob Pic attached

[Namechange2020onceagain]

Just retiled the kitchen and have this old capped off gas pipe that we can't remove and would love some ideas on what to use to hide it. It measures about 5cm x 5cm.

How high is it? Can you put a shelf under it?

[BillywigSting]

Shower radio?

[Nonononon]

How disappointing..

[Nonononon]

Anyway. Do what I do with almost anything. Poly filler it, sand down till smooth then paint it.

Could you put a picture or a hanging plaque type thing up there?
It really would depend how high it is and in what part of the kitchen.

[RedLemon]

I came on to say all knobs are unsightly, but I see now that yours is particularly so.

Could you hang a spice rack or similar over it?

[IDontDrinkTea]

This is not the type of knob pic I was expecting

[youwereagoodcakeclyde]

Ace title
Your knob looks smaller than the dimensions you are quoting
Is there a work surface underneath it?

[AlCalavicci]

How about this ?

Unsolicited knob pics on MN now? Is there nowhere on the internet safe?

It's a GAS FITTING You can't sand that down you loon.

I'll excuse your idiocy due to the heat 🤣

[FatPantsOn]

You need a larger pic to get an idea of the space to say how it can best be hidden.

[Nonononon]

Yeah but sand the poly filler not the pipe?

[ThankyouPeter]

A chalk board depending on how high it is?

My own loony suggestion is to paint it red & make it a feature! You could put a sign under it

'Press in case of emergency'

'Be gentle with my knob'

[Namechange2020onceagain]

Sorry for the disappointing unsolicited knob pics. I will take another pic with a wider angle. Gis a minute

[Poshjock]

Don't know where it is in the kitchen, but could you put a hook below it (or a few hooks) and stick a decoration along the top of the hook which would cover it? I'm thinking along the lines of 5 minute crafts and glue some fake gerberas with a glue gun.

If I found such an unsightly knob in my kitchen I'd ring the police first, then my solicitor.
Having said that, I once had an unsightly knob in my front room next to the fireplace. I made a hole in the bottom of a wicker basket and placed it over, then put a pot plant into the basket.
So my suggestion is pot plants some sort.

Depending on where it is

• tea towel hanging over the top of it.
• picture on top of it.
• shelf just above it.
• cabinet in front of it.

[PigletJohn]

Don't conceal it or try to fill it. Paint it "yellow ochre" gloss.

Like an exposed electric point, it is a visible warning that you should not hammer nails or drill holes into the service buried in the plaster.

if you are sure you will never want a gas cooker or boiler in that position, you can pay a gasman to disconnect the feed to that point (it is probably under the floor) and preferably remove the redundant pipes to save future concerns.

my kitchen has a gas point and an electric point on each side of the room, in case I get the whim to change the layout and move the cooker. That's quite good planning, I think.

[whereorwhere]

Oh dear not what I was expecting 😂

[Namechange2020onceagain]

Here ya go. The knob is above the plug sockets.

[TheoneandObi]

Made me look, made me stare...

[museumum]

Kitchen roll holder?

[LeahDownTheLane]

Why wasn’t it removed before tiling?
