I lived in a teeny tiny studio, and the (covered) litter box was at the foot of my bed (it was really the only place it could go, I swear). After trying a few different brands, I ended up being really happy with Fresh Step scoopable. However, I should say that I never really tried some of the more expensive, alternate material litters mentioned above, so they may be more awesome.

I made sure I scooped every two or three days, and I never, ever had an issue with smell. My landlord would stop in now and again and felt the need to comment that it didn't smell like cat. The girl next-door had two cats, and our shared hallway ALWAYS smelled like pee.

I also bought a small dollar store bath mat for in front of the box; it caught any stray litter, and you can throw it in the washer or just replace it every month or so.

I think they're gorgeous, and go well with the colors you describe! It's your place, though, not mine, so to answer your question: I'd buy some textiles like repurposed placemats or a nice table runner to cover them up. If you want to completely cover them, what about removable veneer or one of those vinyl treatments that you can peel off when you move? Panyl's product is meant as a make-over Ikea pieces, but you can buy by the foot and apply it to whatever you like.

I just adore this apartment. It manages to be so bright and clean without being stark and cold. Just wonderful!
