I have a little house we call the bunk house which is off from the main house. I have a queen size bed in it that we use for extra sleeping area when guests come to see us. I also use this bed to sandwich my quilts and to quilt since I no longer can kneel on the floor. So this limits my space, but it does help when Iam sewing on boarders.

When I get a sewing room again....right now it's all stuffed in the bedroom....I would love to put the cutting area in the center of the room. I like being able to move sometimes around the table when cutting.
For ironing, sometimes it's easier to have an ironing space near a wall for plug reasons if you have room to have it separate from your cutting area.

I don't need it all the time so therefore why waste the room to leave it in the center. I only cut from one side and the only time I need to get around it is when I am basting it.

While I store my sewing cabinet against the wall, when am sewing/quilting I pull it out at 90 degrees. Actually it usually just stays in this position unless I have guests who aren't quilters. If I sew/quilt a large project I put an adjustable height table at the back of my cabinet so the project doesn't drag or weigh down what I am working on.
I like my cutting area so that I can access on all sides when in use.
I like my ironing board in another room so I have to get up and walk occasionally.
I also have my HQ in my studio so there isn't room for all I want in one room.
