The ideal of building new walls might sound intimidating, but creating a new plasterboard wall can be surprisingly straightforward. Whilst the expense rules this option out for many people, it is worth considering if you are building a completely new bathroom (such as part of an extension). If you’re building a new bathroom, then it makes sense to have the builder install the pipes within the walls to create a sleek, minimal finish. Another way of easily ‘hiding’ your bathroom pipes is to paint them. Either paint them the same colour as your walls to help them blend in, or alternatively, paint your bathroom pipes a bold and distinctive colour and make them a feature.

The ‘boxing in’ approach is ideal where you have pipes running along the floor at a low level. The box you create can then act as either an enhanced skirting board or a low shelf (depending on the height of the pipework). Once you’ve painted this box to match your walls, it’ll be barely noticeable.
