Boxing in your cylinders.
I suppose that you could build a frame around all the equipment.
Just make certain that any electronic equipment is not exposed to high temperatures.
@marvinator80, the previous owners built a cupboard for our HW cylinder – it's a neat finish. You could probably do the same, but it might be a tight fit down the right (as I'm looking towards to your door) as it might touch the doorframe and possibly limit how much your door will be able to open.

looks like you could squeeze in some 12mm ply?
We have builders here just now due to the garage. Got them to have a look and they reckon it can be done!
You could also box off just the front and left side and hide it behind a curtain on the side by the door if there's not enough space there.
ASHP: Mitsubishi Ecodan 8.5kW
PV: 5.2kWp
Battery: 8.2kWh
You could do something with the door but clearly a bigger change
A more drastic solution is to reverse what looks like a back door and or fit a door a bit narrower if that would help.
Or have the door open out rather than in to the house. We have that on one of our doors in a utility room where room is tight
@marvinator80 WOW! Absolutely fantastic. Very tidy.
Out of interest, did your installer fit a low loss header and secondary pump or not? I don't see one there. I don't think single zone ASHPs need them, not with 15, 22 & 28mm piping or underfloor circuits. Grant tend to default to using them, they had some issues with retrofits using 10mm and mircobore which need a higher delta T over the emitters, and could not get the required flow higher delta T and lower rate through them compared to standard 15mm piped rads without hydraulic de-coupling of ASHP from heating circuit. It's a compromise solution in my mind.
