You could look at it as having them match rather than hiding them. Is it
really any more 'hiding' them than having the works covered over rather
than being open to the world like a Richard Rogers building? Seems to me

looking for the fridge in someone else's kitchen and you have to open
every door until you find it!

I remember that becoming fashionable in the 1950s, my mother boxed in
everything she could. It made more ledges to dust ...

I've come across some lovely cast-iron roll-top baths crudely boxed in
with hardboard & the like!
