How about a wall of fabric/curtains to hide the water heater and furnace?

That's a long, narrow room. First, I'd create a wall or curtain to hide the water heater and furnace and shorten the room. Then, I'd suggest constructing possible storage between the washer/ dryer and the wall or curtain. Many washrooms include cupboards over the washer and dryer. Then, I'd look at cosmetic details like wall color and flooring.
