Hi, looks like a nice space, I hope you can get enough work to keep it going.
I can't say much about the design without knowing what sort of work you do.
For what I've mostly worked in, "affordable" portrait work, not higher end, I'd be making a few changes. For example, you seem to have all your lighting accessories lined up along the walls; I'd have much of this on tallish shelving units - perhaps a couple of those free-standing wire rack units on casters so you can move them as needed. This clears up the walls so you can bring in other things, such as chairs for support crews or wardrobe racks, etc. A metal wardrobe cabinet with lockable doors is good for a lot of your ancillary gear, such as radio slaves, lenses, spare bodies, etc., that you don't want people messing with.
Something useful for general portraits is a pair of pre-arranged background setups, a little like you have, but with different "themes," so you can keep the subjects in the same general place, but just move your camera around to shoot against the other background.
I don't see any prep areas, with mirror, etc., for models, nor any staging areas for products, etc. So I really don't have any idea what the basic work is. I have the sense that it is not yet a working studio. Like I said I hope you can get enough shooting work to support it.
