A ceiling fan--can be used summer to make you feel cooler while still not turning a/c up as high. For the winter, reverse the direction to push warm air down--same reason.
I know it's easier/faster to be able to just turn to the ironing board to press a seam, but since I have RA and back issues, my board is a few steps away from the machine. I have to get up and move, which helps me from getting too stiff sitting for a length of time. Just something to consider if you have mobility issues.
You are so lucky being able to design your dream sewing space.
