That way I have total freedom to redecorate anytime I want.

Me, too....I try and watch, but I always get so involved with the sewing I forget to watch. :) I sometimes like to listen to audio books. Yes...I must have my computer, printer/copier and phone handy.

Alot of electric outlets.
Windows for natural light.

More fabric too.

Make sure you have o lot of outlets. try to have the room on it's own breaker if at all possible. Go with a light color on the walls. Have a nice window in the room.

I think a sky light would be great. You need all the light you can get.

Judy and Mavis .......... I, too, would rather have carpet in my sewing/computer room. Just makes it warmer, cozier, more enjoyable and, above all, quieter (at least to me, anyway).
