My best recommendation is to look at other quilters spaces and see what will work for you, I went to a large home improvement center and bought several wardrobe/closet type cabinets and have been retrofitting the insides to store my supplies, I am also looking at cabinets like you would have in the kitchen for storage and a portable island so that it is portable, set up your area in such a manner that you have your machines and your ironing table in a pattern that is easy to move between, I don't have carpet so that I can roll my chair around from machine to ironing table
