    I would think building a 2-foot radius cove between a section of wall and the floor would be the most important thing. The longer the section, the better. This allows you to photograph models full-length against a seamless background. If you have a long section of cove, you can photograph a small group of people.

    You also want a variety of wooden boxes and panels which can be stacked to make various size tables and stands for photographing still-lifes and small objects.

    And many large white panels which can be moved around to reflect light. Large stretchers holding canvas painted white can be good for this--and these can also double as backgrounds on small sets.

    Having a mitre saw in the corner, for whipping things together spur-of-the-moment, is great too.

    High ceilings, and lots of electrical outlets are a big, big help, too.
