I suppose there are several options depending on the layout and space available. Something to consider is when you need to replace your water heater you will need enough room for someone to remove the old tank and replace the new one. If you have enough space you could frame in a wall. Then add a door or a pocket door. If you lack space consider putting a curtain or wall divider up to hide it.
I used 2 large louvered doors nailed together in "L" shape and pushed it up against heater to dress it up some,stills get needed air flow & easy to remove if I need to. Put a few hooks on top of them to add some storage(dust pan,broom etc.)
Hi ! I would either make or buy a screen divider, that has hinges so you can block off the view . It might be easier to just put up a curtain to block the view.This might be a better solution for a couple of reasons , one you can pick a nice print and brighten up the room and second , you don't have to worry about it calling over , if it gets knocked into . Whatever you do , you need it to be able to be moved out of the way , when you need to service it .
I took 2 side pieces from a refrigerator box, put material on it with criss cross ribbons, glued small clothespin to the cross sections and hung my kids art work on it!

Hi Gill! I sit a tank water heater or an on demand water heater?
Hi Gill,

Could you put a room divider/screen in front of it?
