I prefer simple and clean. My walls are sheetrock, painted off white. Lots of high efficiency fluorescent lighting. It shows all paint defects. Ample power. Floors finished in Griot's tan epoxy, which is off white. No quartz in the floor finish - makes it difficult to clean. I have a Craftsman steel workbench, a built in workbench that came with the house and was built in the 30's, and an old model maker's bench from the 1800's that my dad gave me. I store my tools in a rolling craftsman cabinet and on shelves/in closets. I also installed outlets on the ceiling so I have pull down work lights and extensions. I was going to use air rails but I decided I don't need them. I just have a medium sized compressor with good straight hose I loop around the handle. As far as shelving goes, I have several Metro shelves in a separate storage room and one in the garage, all anchored to the walls (I live in CA but it's a good idea anyway.
