My sewing room is in the basement. Move your computer down there too!! I hate overhead lighting so I have task lighting in several places in the room. I have an Ott light over the cutting table and one on my machine desk. I even have a clip on lamp on my fabric shelves. It is quite a bit colder down here during the winter so I have one of those oil radiator space heaters in here and it keeps it nice and toasty even on low. But being cooler in the summer is a bit advantage! I painted the room a sunny yellow to help brighten it up overall since there's just one small window in this room. I really love having the space I need instead of being crammed into a small bedroom. This room is the biggest of the bedrooms in the house. The family room is down here too so my hubby is downstairs when he's home too.
