Storage ideas wanted for utility room, please

Hi we have recently moved and have a outside detached utility room. We have moved the washing machine etc into our newly fitted kitchen. I lost the battle to keep the laundry in the utility room as dh does most of the laundry and I understand and accept his reasons - going outside in rain n snow etc.
Now we have a room that's attached to the garage and separated by a door, with worktops all round and and cupboard above and a sink. I'm trying to find some storage units that can go under the worktops in the spaces where the washing machine and tumble dryer were. I'm thinking this http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S19903476/ what do you think??
We'll store cleaning stuff, dog stuff, bike equip and beer/wine, etc, etc

Any ideas for any other storage units etc. thank you :)

With storage but no laundry, you might consider full height units and no worktops.

Thanks piglet it's a good idea but we've spent so much on doing up the house recently we want a quick, easy and cheapish solution until we have a bit more money

we have the,wall mounted version of algot and I love the shelves but find the baskets not particularly sturdy. Very cheap and adaptable though!

drawers are very handy. I expect the gaps for your appliances will be 600mm wide and 800mm high, so you should be able to get kitchen units with drawers to fit. Slide them in then adjust the screw-up legs until they meet the underside of the worktop. Pan drawers with Blum or similar runners are fantastic but to save money you may be able to find something on offer if you browse the DIY sheds, or maybe an ex-display. Sometimes you can get very good deals n fleabay from people stripping out a kitchen, though it will be hard to get a matching door. Because they are difficult to transport, used kitchen units are very cheap.

Sortera are so much better, we also have them as a recycling system, so line them with binliners and sort out all our rubbish into type - we cant recycle it all, but its such a liberating system!
