The only good thing I can say about my small quilting "studio" is that it's set up like a "U" - sewing machine on one side of U, ironing board at the bottom and cutting table on the other side. I rarely have to get up from my chair once everything is cut! Also helpful is a 4-shelf unit starting just above the cutting table. I wish my sewing machine table was about 2 feet longer, but still with enough room to the right of the machine for stuff. The sewing machine table butts up against another large book case to the left. I have two "bi-fold door" closets and I've taken the doors off. One holds my stash in cupboards, the other hold a small desk and skinny shelves for projects in waiting. I've seen other much-larger set ups that I think aren't as efficient as mine.
