vent cover

Airflow opening concealer

A vent cover is a grille or plate that fits over a heating, cooling, or ventilation opening in a floor, wall, or ceiling.

It allows air to pass through while concealing the ductwork and preventing objects from falling in: The cat keeps batting at the vent cover.

Most are louvered metal or plastic, though decorative versions exist.
