Default Need a cover for high shelves

We have a utility/laundry/storage room in our new house. I built
shelves along one wall that are about 10' hight by 10' long and 16"
deep. My wife doesn't like to look at all the boxes and such and
wants to cover them up. I don't really want to build a lot of doors
on them because of the general layout of the room and accessibility to
the shelf space. So, I'm looking for suggestions on what would be a
good solution. She has suggested a series of curtains, but finding
10' high curtains without being custom made is tough.


Make the boxes more "architectural" looking with a roller and
whatever leftover house paint you can spare. Hopefully, you'll still
have some paint left from the laundry room, and the boxes will be
perfectly camouflaged.

That, or turn off the light.

That, or live with it. Utility rooms aren't meant to be beautiful.
