I guess you plan to do some portrait work or something, not huge, not micro, so 20x20 should be fine. You could probably get by with smaller, like 15x10 but if you can afford/plan/build, go for as big as you can. Height is not so much an issue, 6-8 feet should be enough for everything. For couple of months, I used my old room, it's like 12x9, and had some light-orange walls, facing east, so it was just perfect for portraits, very soft light becouse of the tight walls, very nice tone. here are 2 examples, no manipulation, just ambient light, only resize, WB was on auto, so skin got a bit reddish, I was using E510...
everything else goes into specific needs, so more details please
