correct Zeke...I can't believe people would say turn the plug around???


In the business we have recessed plugs for a reason....they are code in parking lots and places like that due to tripping hazards

What about something like this? If the bed is nearby it could come in handy.

Dans access door solution is the winner IF you can shorten the stub out enough to move the cap back into the wall some. Also use a countersunk plug.

I just looked at the photo in the OP. If it was mine I'd screw a $2.00 countersunk plug in it, do a little cosmetics on the plaster, paint it, and let it go.

Recessed plug and small hvac grill over it all.

BTDT, similar to EP suggestion, just oversize the HVAC grill.

Cover it up? I'd make it a focal point...maybe a pig's snout
