When we bought our house four years ago, the room I picked for my sewing is in our walk out basement with lots of windows. I have a giant walk in closet with big double doors. I removed the closet shelves and bought 6 big heavy duty 84" tall chrome shelving units from Home Depot to stack my fabric and other paraphernalia on in the closet. The view I have is of the river and mountains, so I don't have any curtains up. The room was painted a lavender on one wall and purple on the others. I want to repaint it, but haven't yet because of doing so much other stuff to the house. When I do paint it, I want it to be a lighter color, as I need more lighting (IMHO, the more light, the better!) Maybe I'll get to it this winter!!
