How to hide newly installed plumbing that is visible?

We had to have new plumbing installed following 5 breaks in underground copper plumbing. Big expense. Had to accept that our porch would now be home to visible piping. I have no ideas.

If its on the wall, build a storage cabinet over it, and do cut-outs so that shelves fit around the pipes. If on the floor, try making a coffee table type planter over it using a steamer chest or pallet wood.
Do you have a photo? I’d love to help and a pic would make it best. :)
So sorry this happened to you. You have my utmost sympathy. But . . . I cant envision what you are describing. Can you post a photo?
If it's underneath the porch, put lattice to hide it.
Okay... I will post photos. You are all so kind! Let me see...
After seeing the photos, my suggestion would be on the walls up by the ceiling, create a header with trim that would go up to the ceiling, like a crown moulding type effect. On the walls where it comes down and then into the wall, I would put up faux columns or beams. You could panel over the whole wall area floor to ceiling only losing about 11/2 inch by attacking 2 x 2 firing strips to which you could attack paneling. Good luck! Please post your solution when you choose one.
That appears to be a terrible installation. I do not see how you could hide that work. I think you should see an attorney.
