Put the ugly washer and dryer in a cabinet. If you have front-loading appliances, situating them in a cabinet can nicely conceal them from view. If your appliances are top-loading, consider a hall closet. Each will look completely natural and in sync with the home's decor. Alternatively, build custom cabinets to hide the washer and dryer.

Conceal your aesthetically challenged washer and dryer set behind a false wall. Frame a faux wall with 2-by-4-inch studs and tack drywall over it. You could even paint the false wall to make it look separate from your home's interior, or paint it the same color as the interior to keep the look and feel flowing.

Hang louver doors, curtains or blinds in front of the ugly appliance duo. Pick a covering that goes with the decor of your home and hang it out in front of the washer and dryer set. Run a curtain hanger from wall to wall or install louver doors. Another alternative is to hang blinds to conceal the washer and dryer.
