Whether a dedicated room or a cozy corner, a craft room is a space designed to store and organize materials, tools, and supplies. This creative space serves as a hub for hobbies and projects such as sewing, scrapbooking, painting DIY crafts, gift wrapping supplies and more. A well-organized craft room can be equipped with personalized storage options such as pegboards, cubbies, adjustable shelving, center islands, drawer units and more depending on your needs.
At Concept II, we’ve designed craft spaces for all types of hobbies. From small nooks in shared spaces to large, dedicated rooms, there’s a solution for every creative workspace that maximizes storage and functionality. When designing a craft room that’s right for your home and projects, consider a few key tips from our designers to make the area both practical and inspiring:
- Work Surface – A large work table or desk is essential for most craft projects. Choose a surface with plenty of space to spread out and consider a height that suits the type of work you’ll be doing, whether sitting or standing.
- Open and Closed Storage – Use a mix of open shelving and closed cabinets to organize different supplies. Open shelves make frequently used items easily accessible, while closed cabinets can hide away less-used materials, keeping the room looking tidy.
- Pegboards and Wall Organizers – Pegboards, hooks, and wall-mounted organizers are perfect for holding tools, scissors, spools, and other frequently used items. Keeping supplies on the wall saves counter space and keeps tools visible and within reach.
- Drawer Units and Cubbies – Include drawers or cubbies for smaller supplies like markers, paintbrushes, sewing notions, or glue sticks. Organized drawers make it easy to find exactly what you need without sifting through clutter.
- Adjustable Shelving – Adjustable shelves are ideal for storing large bins, baskets, or paper stacks, making it easy to adapt as your supply collection grows or changes. This is especially helpful for storing items of various sizes.
- Customized Accessories – Depending on your craft, you may need dedicated storage for items like fabric, yarn, or paper rolls. Add custom compartments or racks to hold these supplies neatly, preventing them from becoming tangled or damaged.
- Lighting – Good lighting is essential for any craft space. Incorporate both task lighting for detail work and ambient lighting for an inviting atmosphere. Natural light, if possible, can also boost creativity and make colors more vibrant.
- Labeling – Use labeled bins or drawers to make organizing easy and keep track of supplies. Labels make it quick to find what you need, especially if you have a wide range of crafting materials.
- Inspiration Board or Display Wall – Set up a corkboard, magnetic board, or wall grid to display inspiration pieces, sketches, or finished projects. This adds a personal touch to your space and keeps you motivated.
