@chrisbmx116 is the expert.
It's a bit hard to think what would look good as we can only see a pic of the door.
Idk what your situation is, but we put stuff in our bins daily, so it would have to be something with an opening top so you're not wheeling it out, opening, wheeling back all the time.
Maybe a wood structure with a living roof made of that low growing cascading rosemary that is on counterweights to make it easy to open and smart use of magnets to lift the lids up when you lift the roof.

I wouldn't say an expert, but long story short - I couldn't find any suitable bin stores for my two smaller sized bins so built my own which was pretty simple despite not having the right tools and being unable to get hold of the right things (peak lockdown).

It's a little difficult to explain the context, as the front garden, where the bins will be going (there's really nowhere else they can go) is very much a work in progress, so you'll have to imagine what it's going to be like. There will be a row of lavender by the front path, then a mixed native hedge along the front by the pavement and around the return next to my driveway. There's two climbing roses you can see climbing up beside and over the fake fake window (which I detest as I think it's really naff, hence the desire to cover it up), there's 5 roses at the front which you can just about make out which will be behind the hedge, and then another 7 roses in the middle with a slate pebble surface around them. There'll be a gap by the house for access to the water butt, and my plan is for the binstore to go on the area coloured red, with doors onto the driveway.
I agree something with an opening top, preferably with chains linked to the tops of the wheelie bins, is a must. It's in regular use, and while I don't mind the possibility of having to shuffle vehicles to get the bins in and out once a week on bin day, I don't want to have to be doing it on a daily basis.

Anyone got any recommendations for bin stores? I've decided that my recycling bin is an unsightly blight on the front door, even if the blue top does pretty well match the newly repainted green-to-blue front door. And the green waste bin is going to have to go somewhere too. I was tempted by a VidaXL stainless jobby, but I'm slightly less tempted now that they've said that they don't sell spare parts, at all, and have no plans to do so for the foreseeable future.
The lavender has now gone - it had got very woody - and has been replaced with new lavender bushes, but they're only about 6 inches tall. That means the recycling bin is pretty prominent, and it's not exactly a thing of beauty and a joy for ever. In fact, it's pretty fugly. And I think a nice ironstone pot with a fig tree it in would look pretty good in its place...
