Nothing wrong with that. This is how I work, and I wouldn't consider anything else.

There's a lot of information in my Acoustics FAQ:

You might also find these articles I wrote for EQ Magazine useful:

How high are the ceilings? Are you planning on recording drums in there?

If it is actually 20x20, you may consider building racks into a wall thrust out into the room by about 1 1/2 feet (or at least racks and bookcases covering one wall). You don't want a square room.
