How to install shelves in the laundry?

Hi all,

Looking for some advice on a little renovation job on the laundry. I want to put shelves in next to the washer/dryer tower and also above it. The walls are gyprock and have been tiled around the floor, acting almost like a skirting board. There is a section of the wall that has been tiled all around which is about halfway up the wall. Looking for advice on best path forward, e.g. should I remove the tiles? Someone told me I should keep them as they will help with strength if I drill timber panels into them. What timber should I be using for something like this? Would metal frames be better than timer? How should I approach the construct? e.g. Is it as simple as three large vertical panels to act as walls. One on either side of the wall and one in the middle? The rest would be horizontal panels for the shelves themselves. How would I approach fixing in the shelves? Screws and glue? Brackets? Lower shelves will hold a bit of weight from heavy pots and pans etc
