Hello,

I am getting ready to set up a semi permanent photo booth of sorts.
Most of what I photograph will be household and personal items as well as
antique furniture in preparation for sale or display.
I expect it will be about 6 x 6 with table or bench in front of it.
What color and texture of material would suit most situations for a
wide variety of large and small items? I can alter lighting to a certain
degree but will concentrate on emulating natural light with something in
the line of 6000- 6500 kelvin bulbs.

Thank you

Seems like you might want a "light box" for the smaller items. You
can buy them pre-made like this:

or you can build them yourself. Google around for tutorials on how to
DIY.
