Default making a gun room from scratch any ides.

Ok i have a issue i now have to much hunting, shooting stuff, guns to just stick in my closet. My kind of problem . TO if you ask mom and dad i was at to much two guns ago and 1000.00 worth of hunting stuff.
SO i am thinking build me a hunting/shooting room in the basement. Me and dad discussed it about 6 months ago so i think he will be ok with it. I am thinking just frame me up a room with treated lumber and get it as sealed and insulated as much as i can. Were going to install our furnace down stairs this Jan so i will be able to get a heat duct to it without much trouble. Is there any ways of building said room that will make things for shooting and hunting easier. Like reloading and gun storage. I am thinking a steel exterior door with a deadbolt. As that will make it hard to get into to steal stuff. Also would i be better using plywood for the inside walls as it would make installing shelves later easier. Or maybe a 2x6 board 3 feet and 6 feet high running across the wall to us for mounting stuff that way. Any thing you can add that will make things easier or just are a good look in a shooting room.
My hopes are that i will be able to have a room with enough space for one or two safes, reloading setup, hunting stuff, a 2x10ft table and enough room to move around and do my cleaning reloading, so on with out being cramp. Do you think i could do that with a room that's roughly 15'x15'. Ohh got to have a TV and a computer for huntingnet and the outdoor channel

Ohh and a off topic my spelling should be better. As i finally switched to firefox when explorer gave up and crashed.
