Find the pipes in your HDB bathroom to be a sight for sore eyes? Consider these ways to camouflage them without needing to hack any part of your bathroom.
1. Distract with similar finishes
When in Rome, do what the Romans do. So if you have copper pipes, get other copper fixtures in the bathroom so everything looks intentional and complementary. You can do the same thing with other metallic finishes. Designs: Voila and Notion of W2. Extend and use it as a fixture

Camouflage chunky sewage pipes hanging down from your ceiling with a ceiling-mounted tall cabinet. You get to hide the ugly pipes, whilst getting some extra storage for your bathroom. Double score! Design: I.Poise Design4. Cover it with greenery
Plants are perfect if you want to bring a sense of the outdoors in. Cascading types like the Philodendron (money plant) or the spider plant are good options for hiding tall sewage pipes. Plus, these thrive in hot and humid environments like the bathroom. Design: Liid Studio5. Paint it black
Nothing says chic like painting your pipes black. Good choice for a monochromatic theme! Get a paint that is suitable for your bathroom’s humid environment. Also make sure you use primer on the surface first before painting. This will reduce the chances of the paint flaking. Select a primer that can be used on either metal or PVC surfaces, depending on your bathroom pipes. Designs: Chapter B and DAP Atelier6. Turn it into a feature
If you can’t hide it, flaunt it we say. Take a leaf from this bathroom where the designers painted the sewage pipes a fabulous pink to go with the pastel green hues on the wall tiles. Design: Free Space Intent7. Let your cat use it
