How to box up / hide laundry pipes?

I’m in a 112-year-old Queenslander, which had an extension and build-under in 1947, so the house definitely has some “quirks”. I’ve completely gutted the laundry and, at last, there’s light at the end of the renovation tunnel with a new Kaboodle utility room.

 

I need to box up these pipes, just for aesthetic reasons; some parts of the pipes sit above a new wall cabinet but the rest do span the entire width of the room (4.7m). 

 

I was thinking of attaching some sort of premade moulding that is 50mm x 100mm (as per the green lines). However, I’ve checked the Bunnings website but I can’t seem to find any suitable mouldings that will fit, which is a shame. 

 

Any brilliant ideas from Workshoppers about what to do, please? Many thanks for any solutions!  Pipes to be hidden.Pipes to be hidden.Profile, with measurementsProfile, with measurements

Many thanks, @Jason. The end is definitely in sight! Looking forward to creating a humdinger of a post on the complete gutting and rebuilding of my laundry with lots of photos and the different challenges I faced, as well as the solutions and tweaks that I developed. Big push this week with the barn door, benchtop completion and the tiling. 

Cheers,

Rach
