How to hide radiator pipes in wall?

We’re redecorating and the pipes running down to the radiator look really messy. Wondering what’s actually involved in hiding them properly from experts and if there are any downsides to it?

"You can box them in to hide them or chase the wall out. No benefits to either just what you prefer visually."
