Ways to cover up my boiler in the kitchen

TessaW_2

Getting a new red gloss kitchen but we have a rather large white boiler on one of the walls. Does anyone have any handy hints as to how I could cover this up? Am I best to try and somehow build a cupboard around it?

Thanks

We have a gas multipoint water heater , the type that heats the water when you turn on the tap. It is similar in size to some central heating boilers and we have managed to totally conceal it behind a false fitted kitchen top cupboard.
This was all fitted and pronounced ok by a corgi engineer. We simply left a gap between wall cupboards equal to the size of a door (I seem to think we had the longline, rather than the shorter type). The door is attached to the side of one of the cupboards (no need for a special hinge - the ones that come with the doors work ok) . There is a pelmet thingy that runs the length of the bottom of the cupboards and this also helps to conceal some of the pipework and hide the fact that there is no bottom on the 'cupboard'
This arrangement means that there is nothing underneath or on top of the boiler, so there should be adequate ventilation - but this would depend on the size of the boiler.

MAKE AND MODEL OF BOILER AS NOT EVERYONE CAN GO IN CUPBOARD, COULD BE DANGEROUS.....
