Six Crafts Room Ideas

February 11, 2013 by Jane F 4 Comments

crafts room ideas - combination laundry room and crafts room with a common table - a brighter place via atticmagConfession: I don’t own a bedazzler, glue gun or even a bottle of modge podge. Still, I love crafts room ideas.

As a person who is not especially crafty I enjoy seeing crafts room ideas because I love elegant systems of organization that make any task easier to do! Instead of beads and sequins, mine would be used to organize yarns, ribbons, wrapping papers, sewing remnants, mending thread, buttons, flower vases, knitting paraphernalia, and the various brushes, hooks, glues, nails and pads that my house seems to constantly require. Even though my space might have more of a hardware and paint sample vibe, I’ve started to hunt for ideas and, so far, identified half a dozen.

Combining Two Functions. A laundry room is often the perfect place to add on a craft station. Mine is too small for seated workspace, storage bins (love these sturdy ones handy rollers), baskets and open shelving. This large one [top] does both while cleverly dividing the work spaces so that it isn’t necessary to paint or glue on the same counter used for folding clean clothes and towels. Yet they have a common table and a great relationship.

Once I got past the harlequin floor, clown-stripe slip covers and all the handy dandy dowels making the ribbons and wrapping papers ultra-accessible, I noticed two things: this is a very expensive built-in set up with fitted cabinets and matching granite counters. And second – there is a sewing sub-station which offers a lower and more comfortable counter height for working on the machine, plus great natural light from a window that goes all the way down to the counter.

A former dining room doubles as a home-schooling center, work space and crafts area for an entire family. At the heart of the space is the big table – about 4-feet wide and 6-1/2  feet long — with storage below and seating for three.

crafts room ideas - cabinet housing matching plastic storage bins with storage cups on a magnetic board - sew many ways via atticmagMatching Plastic Bins and Cups. Well labeled bins may not be attractive storage containers but they are the most durable, practical and are semi-transparent to boot. Small plastic condiment cups, with snap-on tops and magnets glued to the bottoms, help arrange tiny items at eye level on a magnetic board.

crafts room ideas - vintage oak cubby used for craft room storage - mamiejanes via atticmagDifferent Types of Open Storage. A vintage oak cubby, hung at a strategic height over a counter, can create the illusion of a cupboard and provide accessible spaces for storing individual or boxed items.

crafts room ideas - homemade hanging system made from a towel rod and paint stirring sticks - mamiejanes via atticmagProtected by a pair of decorative brackets, a salvage towel rod provides a convenient hanger for laces and trims which have been wound around old rulers and hardware store paint-stirrers suspended from clips.

crafts room ideas - simple clips used as hangars clipped to paint stirring sticks - mamiejanes via atticmagThis clever clip-hanging system is blissfully inexpensive and could be adapted to lightweight objects such as balls of twine, gloves or other protective gear, small bags or other containers by way of stick-on hooks.

crafts room ideas - craft room armoire that contains equipment on shelves and hanging from the doors - the embellished nest via atticmagFold Away Space. My inner compulsive gene really goes for the idea of a mini-craft “room” all set up in a redone thrift-store piece that can close up and disappear. While rejiggering the interior, lining the doors and making sure all the additions fit together so it closes up smoothly would be a challenge, this is a wonderful solution for small spaces or for those for whom crafts mean a great deal but aren’t a very big deal.

    There is so much here to make me feel really ashamed about the room that is supposed to be my craft and sewing room. 🙂 I could go for any of these over what I currently have which is a growing junk pile. I say your desire for a craft room for wrapping paper and what not sounds every bit as crafty as those who work with mod podge. Go for it!

    Thank you for all of these ideas! I really need as many as you can provide.
    Good to see what is possible because sometimes I think I’m surrounded by chaos and I even don’t realize it!

    Regards
