How can I cover up my washer and dryer?

Our laundry “room” is actually just a closet. Originally it had bifold doors, but our new washer and dryer stick out of the closet so we had to remove the doors. I hung curtains across as a substitute for doors, but I’m wondering if anyone else has any ideas for covering up the washing machine and dryer when not in use.
I kind of like the curtains. Is it too loud without having a door of some kind? Maybe you could use a privacy screen or something decorative like that?
Hi Susan. Can you install barn doors that go on a track? You can mount the track on the outside of the closet.
You could build some barn doors or have them built! See ours here: https://www.aratariathome.com/blog/sliding-barn-doors
I don't know how much further the new appliances stick out, but you might just add some more framing boards to build out the closet 3 sides to accomodate the new washer/dryer.
Then if adding a barn door remember you will also have to build out the top where you intend to mount the track for the barn door ... could be a decorate piece of reclaimed wood. Otherwise you could mount the old bifold doors.
You are not alone ! I have the same problem, will be interested in all of the solutions forth coming , I do like your drapes !
I have the same issue also. Barn door etc won't work for me either. Neither will bi-fold doors.
