Cluttered Charm: Cute Ideas for your Craft Room

Cluttered Charm: Cute Ideas for your Craft Room

Do you have a craft room, or are you thinking about creating one? If so, you might already know that there are specific challenges you’ll face when decorating and designing a craft room. If you’re not careful, a craft room can quickly go from charming to catastrophic, and once it’s a mess, it’s hard to fix. Add to that the fact that you want a room that’s well-designed, not simply a storage area, and you’ll start to wonder if it’s possible. However, the following ideas are cute ways you can organize your crafts and still create a room that’s beautiful, too.

Crafty Organizers

If you’re going to create a craft room, why stick to boring five-gallon totes that you’d store your garden hose in? Instead, try picking out some beautiful organizers designed specifically for a craft room. These can include storage bins in prints or lively colors that mesh with the theme of your room, and organizational systems that fit with the craft you do, such as a wooden wall organizer painted with images that represent your craft. Storage that is designed specifically for your craft, such as bead holders and scrapbook paper organizers will help keep everything straight and organized. These are only a few of the crafty organizers you can use that will fit within your room’s theme while making it easy to safely organize your items.

Interior Decorating

Whether you look at decorating magazines to get ideas, or already have a dream craft room in mind, an interior decorator can help you design the perfect craft room. Many people think that hiring an interior decorator is outside of their budget, but it can actually be quite affordable. A decorator can help you utilize your space in the most efficient way possible, and can help you create a room that’s as aesthetically pleasing as it is easy to use. A decorator from Heritage House Home Interiors says the best way to get your dream room is to make sure you have a good plan outlined first.

Prioritize Your Storage

Chances are you’ll have a desk or counter where you’ll do most of your work. Think about what you use most frequently, and store those items closest to your desk or work area. You don’t want to have to keep getting up and going to find this or that item.

Pick a Theme

Hint: crafty is not a theme. Many people end up with scattered-looking craft rooms because they don’t pick a theme. If you like Victorian charm, or Southwest rugged beauty, style your room around that theme and it will be cohesive and charming. You might even consider framing your kid’s artwork to get you inspired for your own crafts.

Craft Room Theme

Using these tips can help you create a beautiful craft room that is functional as well as fashionable. Keep in mind that you’ll be storing many different items, so using simple themes and colors can help keep the room from looking overly cluttered. This is your space to create, so make it inspiring for you and easy to work in and you’ll be more likely to keep it organized.
