HOW CAN I COVER THIS/OR PAINT OR MAKE PRETTY?

HI,

PAINT IT THE SANE COLOUR AS YOUR WALLS TO LOOSE IT. Ass artificial pot plants at the top or large glass or ceramic items.

I would paint it. The same color as the walls if you want it to blend in, or a contrasting color to accent it.

Absolutely paint it the same color as your walls, but first consider removing the upper level of cabinets and repurposing them elsewhere. (It's obviously a separate piece that is easily removed without damaging your tower.) Removing that piece will vastly open up your room.

Whether you remove the cabinets or not ( I would remove them) I would consider covering that area in stone or brick. Extend the counter top into the living area and use it as a bar. Change out the kitchen light fixture. If you decide to keep the cabinets in place, after you paint it or recover it hang some pictures or sconces on the living room side.

Interesting space you have to work with.

paint the same as walls, or you could make it a bit of an accent /decor piece with a complementary pleasant light colour. or any 'peel and stick' tiles or 'wall coverings' too.

(ONLY if this is OWNED by you and not a rental unit! I don't want to get you in trouble!)...

*Empty and unscrew and move the upper cabinets to the left side of kitchen area, just above fridge height.

*add some nice hanging lights above the sink/ counter area.

*possibly add some small shelves on the side of the tower, (glass? ) and display pretty china or glasses you use

*add a permanent or simple fold -down counter strip along the front of the cabinet and some tall chairs, and it will make a lunch counter or quick buffet area for a get-together!

now you've got a more useful and attractive spot in a previous dead-zone!

ps. you can attach a tall shutter to a simple shallow frame in front of what looks like a heater? unit on the wall to the right. paint (possibly with a heat -resistant paint if necessary) to make it a bit less intrusive in what looks like a dining or living room area.

Enjoy!

Totally agree with the above posters consider painting it the same color as the wall. I have some exposed PVC piping in my laundry room and I painted the plumbing piping the same wall color and it helps it to disappear.

Agree with Ann but go one step further and hang stuff on the backside.

Perhaps artwork, pretty jello molds, a clock, mirrors if more light is needed.

Prime and paint it in the same color as the other walls as well as the door shown in the pic maybe in the dining/living room area. Possibly add horizontal piece of artwork above the counter area or a vertical piece on the vertical floor to ceiling area in your pic.

You could paint or cover with wallpaper. Clean with tsp then prime and paint with a good quality paint.

Are you wanting ideas to improve the appearance of the kitchen that are temporary, or permanent?

This looks like an apartment. Are you renting it, or do you own it?

You could paint it ,you could cover with tiles like the stainless steel ones or cover with wains coat and paint black

I would paint it a fun color along with the rest of the kitchen cabinets

You could paint it. Perhaps a shelf behind sink.... Could be used as a seating spot....
