Craft rooms are required to hold a lot of stuff. From spools of ribbon and thread to fasteners and stickers for scrapbooking, or even paints and markers for school projects, it’s no wonder why this room can get easily disorganized. Let your local Myrtle Beach experts help with these tips!
Consider Color
When you’re crafting, color is often used to guide your search. Imagine doing a layout for a scrapbooking page. You’ll likely look for colors that work together to showcase a photo or trinket. Consider organizing your stash by color. Separate papers, fabrics, and yarns by color. Organizing by color has an added benefit of making a room look methodical and neat.
Divide by Activity
Materials and supplies for different types of projects often meld together, which can cause chaos. Organizing by activity can create order in the chaos and can improve your storage systems. Dedicating different areas or even cabinets or bins for certain activities can make it easy to locate items. In this craft room project (see more details on Houzz), we dedicated one work area for scrapbooking by creating shelves and drawers for stamps and papers. On the opposite side of the room, fabrics and yarn are sorted out and have their own area.
If you’re using bins and baskets, be sure to attach a label so it is easy to tell what items are inside.
When it comes to sorting items, having containers for small items (think brads, buttons, and beads) will help you stay organized. Make sure drawers are equipped with dividers to keep these containers neat.
Get Inspiration… From the Garage
Hobby and craft rooms can use similar storage solutions that are found in the garage. Think about it. Garages often deal with tools and can even serve as an area for more industrial hobbies. In the garage, tools need to be easily accessible and require flexibility, just as in a craft room!
You can incorporate slatted walls to keep scissors, hole punches, and other tools accessible. Slatted walls provide flexibility depending on the project you’re working on. Strong shelving custom cut to this your project is perfect for oddly shaped paper and unique tools found in a craft room.
