Definitely cot away from any light sources - either window or door at night time.

If your rocking chair is for feeding, then have it within arm's reach of either the chest of drawers or change table - wherever you're going to have spare blankets, wipes, sick rags etc. Nothing worse than constantly having to get up and down while feeding because bub's has been sick and you can't reach anything to clean it up, or its a bit cold and bubs needs a blanket thrown over him/her. Also, somewhere to put down a drink for yourself within each reach of the chair where you feed.

I found I moved things around quite a bit until I got things the way I liked them - and I found "the way I liked them" changed as a result of DD growing and reaching more things.
