I have one wall in a guest bedroom that I put shelving on floor to ceiling and all stash, supplies are stored there, plus other storage not sewing related. In my living room against one wall I found room for an old kitchen table,covered it to the floor with a cloth and have my sewing/embroidery machine and serger on opposite ends. I have some things hidden under it. My ironing board comes out when I need it and goes back into a closet when I am finished. I put my cutting mat on the kitchen counter top when I want to cut. My design wall is behind a door in my bedroom.
