Our RE/MAX Gateway Real Estate Team was getting ready to List a BEAUTIFUL Condo for Sale, but the one issue that had always bothered our Seller was how to hide an ugly water heater located in the Laundry/Mud Room between the Garage and Kitchen. The space was very small and required plenty of venting, so building a wall was out of the question. We headed to Ikea and purchased the Kvartal Curtain Rods that could be mounted on the ceiling and featured a curved connector and curtain gliders. We also purchased the Kvartal $5.00 mitre box saw kit to make the job easy. Finally, we found a neutral lighter weight curtain that worked perfectly, because Ikea curtains are extra long and gave us full ceiling to floor coverage. You will need a drill, drywall anchors and a screw driver, but the job was pretty simple. Final Cost: less than $100! Our wonderful Seller was very pleased with our results and the condo sold the first week with Multiple Offers. Hope this is helpful!

If my water tank was hidden, we wouldn't have seen the pin hole leak on top one morning, and it could have been a disaster of a mess to clean up. Very glad to have mine visible.
