Pretty much the same as the monitor - window lit room ( white walls).

Dear Martin
What you are in effect saying that you do not have a standardised lighting environment. This is something that you really do need to get right if you are to be able to rely on your calibrated monitor, and to judge prints with any real hope of success.
For starters it means that the ambient light within the area of your monitor is constantly changing both in colour and in intensity. It also suggests to me that it is going to be higher than is best for monitor work.
For viewing prints you ideally are going to go out and buy a proper viewing booth with a light source of 6500 Kelvin but as a far cheaper get you by, I suggest you buy proper graphics tubes from Graphiclite.com for example.
Also worth considering is painting your work room a light neutral grey colour and that includes the ceiling. Ideally the floor will be as neutral as possible and your visible clothing will also not be too colourful ..grey is best! Your work surfaces should be grey and yes you've guessed it your computer colour schemes should be grey.
Hope this helps you achieve a greater degree of consistency and easier colour matching.
Cheers
