But just because you've made your peace with his various gaming consoles, that doesn't mean they have to be a total eyesore cluttering up the place.

Demonstrating how you can turn your partner's Playstation into a chic, rustic wooden shelf, one mum decided to cover her husband's console in printed sticky-back plastic.

Posting the photo on her Snapchat, the anonymous woman joked: "When your husband's Playstation doesn't go with your decor... you vinyl it." See? Compromise.

The photo was then shared on the Facebook group where hundreds of Facebook users fawned over the idea.

One replied: "I'd do exactly the same - and all his gaming stuff too!"

Another added: "Such a great idea!"

"My lad would go mental if I did this," a third wrote. "He doesn't even like me cleaning it!"

If you're thinking of trying this at home, it's important not to cover the vent on the side of the consoles to avoid them overheating and becoming a fire hazard.
