We divide our time between two houses. In one house I have my sewing room at ground level with a big window and the room opens into the main part of the house. I can sew in there all day without a tv, radio or any distraction. In our other house my sewing room is in the basement. It is a large room with finished walls, ceiling and floor and a small window but I feel so isolated in there that I have a tv and radio just to remind me that there is a world out there. You might want to consider this when setting up your room.
