If you’re a crafter, you need space to create your masterpieces! If you’re dreaming of creating the perfect space but aren’t sure exactly where to start, we have a few ideas that may help you create your dream craft room.
First, breaking down the room’s design into sections can help make the project a little less overwhelming. Start with your favorite color; think which color combinations help inspire you and spark your creativity. A simple coat of paint and some functional yet adorable wall décor may be all you need to turn a drab space into one that excites you every time you enter the room. Your craft room is where fun things happen, so it should make you happy and fuel creative ideas with its color, structure, and function.
In order to craft, you need supplies like kraft paper in a variety of colors. To keep your rolls from getting out of control, use twine, rubber bands, or handy silicone flip wraps to keep them neat. Having easy access to all your crafting supplies is key to designing an enjoyable, creative space, and a closet rod gift wrap organizer is a great way to keep your wrapping paper, scissors, raffia, and tape all together in one place.
Storing your ribbon and wrapping paper by color makes it easy to find what you need quickly, placing a coordinating colored sticker on the front of the drawer tells you where the color you want is stored. Simple glass jars are great for storing small items like buttons, pins, spools of thread, and beads.
Organizing your crafting supplies is simple when you use items you can probably find in your home office, like storage totes, boxes, snap folders, magazine holders, and desk organizers. Some kitchen organizers also work great in the craft room; think of repurposing your utensil holders, napkin holders, and spice racks and drafting them for use in your crafting area to hold art supplies. You can even use a kitchen island as both a work table and storage center.
Mesh laundry bags are a great way to keep fabric clean and organized and see what’s in the bag at a glance, and an under cabinet kitchen shelf can help add storage space in your craft room closet. There’s no need to go out and spend a lot of money on outfitting your dream craft room if you can use handy household items you already have.
