You can furr them out and then drywall or panel.
There is a special tool you can rent or buy at Home Depot for putting nails into cement. You would need that if you were to put up furring strips too. I don't really think I would put anything special with the walls other than a pretty paint. Then yes, I would add some cabinets for storage around the washer and dryer. You can never have enough storage! Add a couple shelves on one wall to add some pretties and maybe a nice throw rug in front of the washer and dryer and a picture or two on a wall. I would give anything if I had a basement for my washer and dryer. If I did, this would how I would do it! Hope this helps.
I believe it is called a Hilti gun you can rent from home depot. I think maybe a piece of lattice would also look nice behind the cabinets also
We painted the walls in our concrete basement with white cement paint. We then painted the floor and added area rugs. Here is a post I did on the process https://www.homeroad.net/2021/09/basement-makeover-ideas-on-budget.html#more
