Why not sand and paint it?!!! You could make it whimsical; paint it white and your accent color in large polka dots. Or paint it to blend in.

If you have carpentry skills, or know of anyone who does, have a simple frame built in front of the water heater. Then bifold doors can be mounted on the frame. The Restore/Habitat for Humanity is often a good place to get inexpensive doors.
Hot water heaters tend to give off some heat, so I would caution you against any cover up idea that impedes the air flow or accessibility.
Mount a roller blind on the ceiling. Pull it down in front of the hot water heater.
