So my craft stuff had gotten a little out of control. I went looking for ideas on how to corral it, and I thought I’d share some of my faves with you. Because I’m guessing I’m not the only one with art or craft supplies run amok.
1. Multi-purpose craft room – I love the way Alexis (of Persia Lou) incorporated space for various types of craft, work, and for her kids to entertain themselves all in one room!
2. Repurposed containers – Put vintage finds you love to use as storage!
3. Convert a hutch to a sewing space!
4. Craft supply shelves – Matching glass jars give even a mishmash of supplies a uniform appearance a and allow you to see what you’ve got.
5. Craft closet makeover – one couple transformed a closet into a welcoming workspace.
6. DIY birch branch brush holder – Drill holes into a piece of branch to hold brushes, pens, or other tools.
7. Repurpose an old ironing board as a place to hold spools of thread.
8. Art journal cart – This IKEA cart is a great place to keep journals and supplies. And it’s mobile, so you can have a workspace anywhere in the house.
9. You can see the same rolling carts used for other types of supplies in this studio. Also love the 3-tiered metal lazy Susan!

The first and the fifth one were my favorite. If you have the space, the multi-purpose room was really great, like in #1. But if not, I was really impressed by what they did in #5 with a small closet. I think I like pegboard in a craft space! It has so many uses.
I agree! I like the idea of using rooms for multiple purposes and planning for shared space. It’s why Phillip and I both ended up with our desks in the living room. Sometimes it’s nice to be together, even if you’re doing separate things! :)
