What are you asking for, space-wise when discussing home portrait based shoots? Obviously you can achieve a good amount in a relatively small area sometimes but how much clearance do you require to make sure people can move around, keep well in front of backdrops etc?

About 3m wide by 3m long to account for lights.
Maybe slightly smaller if you want to use flashes to bounce instead of direct.

Cool, I was expecting to hear that sort of size.

I've got some sheets that are 3m square and they fit just about perfectly for my backdrop. Our rooms are 8ft high so by the time I've got it clipped on there's a couple of feet to fold onto the floor. I got a couple of cloths with the backdrop that are 2.5m wide and 5m long so I can use them as a runway if necessary.

I had a group shot of 6 adults and 4 children in the studio not long ago. 12ft wide.
Quite easy really, white infinity curve and white walls, the black ceiling was a 2 minute fix in ps.
Shot with a 24-70/2.8.
I think about 12ft is a good width.
