We never use the huge open living room, so we finally set up a cutting table at the end of that. It gives the cats another surface to sleep on!
You will need to plan some hidden storage areas. I moved into the spare bedroom to sew, and now I have 2 messy sewing rooms and 2 "sewing closets" instead of one. Sewing is messy! For me, at least! It increases in direct proportion to the amount of room you have. Good luck!
