Every crafter needs their own space to house their creative projects. Whether you decide to use a spare guest room or convert a closet or part of your basement is up to you and your budget. Whatever you decide, you should secure a dedicated space, and let your creative juices flow.
Die-hard crafters know that inspiration can strike at just about any time, so your creative space should be designed specifically to work with your crafting needs. Keep these tips in mind when you’re designing and executing the ideal craft space in your home.
Get organized. Having an organizational system can not only keep the area streamlined but can also make it easier for you to locate all your supplies. Consider adding labels to pull-out drawers in case you forget where certain tools are. You could also opt for clear containers to help you locate items easier.
Incorporate light. Ideally, natural light is the best way to brighten up a craft room, but that’s not always an option. Use strong desk lamps to provide bright light. Floor lamps and overhead lights are other options, and adding metallics to the walls can reflect any light that enters the room.
Go vertical. Don’t forget that you can use wall space and hang pegboard or corkboard from it. Place the boards at eye level, and add a few inspirational images to spark some creativity. Don’t be afraid to add some color to the boards as well.
No matter which room you choose for the perfect craft room, just remember that you can tailor it to whatever type of crafting you do. Sometimes the best way to figure out what works for your needs is to try out several options and see what sticks. Head to your local crafting store today, and get started on creating that ideal room for all your crafting needs.
