Inside: how to easily transform every craft space with these 4 creative furniture tips.
Your craft space is a sanctuary for creativity and productivity. It's where you let your imagination run wild and bring your ideas to life. It allows you to have all your supplies in one place and work on a project without clearing a space in other rooms first.
The first step to have such a craft space is having the right furniture. Not only does it provide functionality, but it also sets the tone and atmosphere for your creative process. Whether you have a dedicated room or just a small corner, transforming your craft space with the right furniture can elevate your crafting experience.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT FURNITURE FOR YOUR CRAFT SPACE
The first step is to choose the right furniture. This includes selecting pieces that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.
The main furniture you’ll need for your craft space are:
- Working table or desk
- Chair
- Cabinets and/or shelves
- Storage solutions and
You can find a variety of furniture from different sellers to suit your style and budget. When selecting furniture, consider your specific needs and activities in the craft space.
Here are a few examples to consider:
- Option to adjust the height of the table to suit your chair and height.
- The size and height of the chair. I’m a short person so I had to find a chair where I can lean back while my feet touch the floor so I won’t get back pains.
- Shelves you can change their height to match 12x12 paper boxes or other storage solutions
- Drawers that are deep enough for large craft supplies such as punches or storage boxes.
- You can check out the selection at Flitch for example.
MAKE USE OF VERTICAL SPACE
When working with a limited craft space, maximizing every inch is crucial. This is where utilizing vertical space comes in handy. Instead of cluttering your workspace with multiple shelves and cabinets, consider installing wall-mounted shelves or using pegboards to hang supplies and tools.
You can also make use of the back of doors or walls by adding hooks and racks for additional storage. Not only does this make your craft space more organized, but it also frees up valuable workspace on your desk. Remember to balance function and visual appeal when incorporating vertical storage solutions in your craft area.

INCORPORATE STORAGE SOLUTIONS IN YOUR CRAFT SPACE
As mentioned before, having a clutter-free workspace is essential for a productive crafting experience. Having the right storage solutions is a crucial aspect of transforming your craft space.
Functional storage solutions start from the right furniture and continue to the boxes and containers.
Here are some tips and tricks to consider:
- Opt for multi-functional furniture with built-in storage compartments, such as desks with drawers or ottomans with hidden storage.
- Think outside the box and use furniture in a new way. For example choose a drawer unit the same height as your desk and extend your work surface by placing them next to each other.
- Use transparent boxes or containers so you can easily see what’s inside.
- Choose modular furniture so you can adjust and change them according to your needs.
