    Is that a wall to the left of the machine? Or an appliance? I like "patrim's" ideas and would add if that is a wall, hang your crates there to stash your supplies in if you don't want to invest in cabinetry (or cant fit supplies under sink), this way you get the functionality but don't see them when you walk in the room (assuming you are entering from where you took picture). And hang a picture or something more decorative over the washer/ sink as this is where your eye will go. I'd also consider painting the walls a pretty color, to contrast with your wood trim and warm up the room a bit. I love the window, great light for a laundry room!

      If you like them, why not?

      I think beer creates could look great on a wall but the question is, what would you like to store in there? Is it just decorative? If you use it to hold laundry detergent etc it would be better to get some cabinetry with doors over your sink and machine to hide the clutter.

      Do you have a dryer? It would help to see the other walls.

      I'd hang the ironing board to get it off the floor, and be sure it has a nice looking cover. I can't tell if the white area to the left is a door, or if it is a wall that your ironing board can hang on.

      Is there a way to cover the washing machine shut off valves? Maybe hang a shallow box over them, open at the bottom.

      If you need storage for non-decor items, add closed storage if they won't fit under the sink. The red pail isn't adding much to your decor!

      I'd be inclined to just put a cheerful poster on the wall, in a color that looks good with your ironing board cover.
