12 BEAUTIFUL CRAFTING ROOMS {DIY}

by Laurie

One of the most searched for ideas on Tip Junkie is craft room ideas.  So I thought I’d give those of you who are going to redesign a special place for yourself this year some really cool DIY inspiration.  Here are 12 beautifulcraft rooms that you can make yourself!

Crafting

1.  Heather Bailey’s gorgeously designed studio from Isaac Bailey Photography – She stores her art supplies, sewing notions and wool felt in the refinished antique bookshelf.  The yellow boxes above hold less-frequently-used items, like velcro and grommets, linoleum blocks for stamp- carving, elastic and cording.

Craft Rooms

2.  A colorful craft room from Jenny – My favorite part is the Liatorp buffet from Ikea that stores my fabric and tons of other supplies, and quite stylishly.
3.  How to organize a Craft Room from This Blessed Nest with a lot fun tutorials.
4.  Thritfy Decor Chick’s Craft Room before and after – I love this basement craft room idea.  It’s a great way to turn an under-utilized space into a crafting retreat.

Scrapbook Rooms

5.  New Scrapbook Room – A detailed look on how to organize a scrapbook room with all of your tools and crafting supplies.
6.  A great wall collage in a craft room – The wall is painted with black chalk board paint and beautified with fun organizing containers and craft supplies.

7.  Gorgeous empty frame craft room wall - A finished look and video showcase of I am Mama’s craft room.

8.  A Beautiful Crafting Room — A little sugary, a little flowery, and at its best on cold, overcast afternoons when the turquoise walls glow, and doggie is napping under the work table, and inspiration seems to come from every basket.
9.  Before and After Craft Room - A great DIY craft room.  My favorite part is that she took 2 dressers and refinished them into a gorgeous crafting table.
10.  Craft Room from The Polka-dot Chair - With chalkboard paint supply cupboard to a crafting table made from several Ikea cabinets, some cool ideas to make your craft room fun and functional.
11.  Inspiration Board - I’ve been wanting to create a space to hang things that inspire me.  I love this “don’t put off your happy life” board.

Interior Design

12. Spring Chick’s to-die-for craft room – A cool tutorial on how to create your own crafting table.  She purchased four Ikea base kitchen cabinets and bolted them together on the bottom and added turned feet (to make it higher and prettier).

Back to the craft room:

Oh finally! It is done. And I am so ready to show it off! It is clean, perfectly staged, and will probably never look like this again. Ha! All you other artists and crafters know how that goes. To get started, let's have a little reminder of what it looked like before.

Here is that same view of what it looks like now.

It is such a change!

I have basically created 3 "stations".

This long counter is my paper crafting area. Behind the curtains hide my papers, paints, embellishments, glue. etc. It is a bar counter height. I wanted it taller to increase the storage underneath.

This smaller nook is my sewing area. I have my fabric and notions in the cabinets below. I painted a corkboard white to hang inspiration and random supplies on. Painting it white makes it a nice neutral back drop for fabrics, notes, or whatever else.

This long desk is my jewelry area and my office. All of my jewelry making stuff is in the left cabinet. The other two cabinets house stationary and office supplies.

Above the jewelry area, I have another painted corkboard to hang finished jewelry on. I wanted some place to hang my work that looked like art and not totally utilitarian. Pretty and funcational.

I love the wall above my long desk. I wanted a statement wall that was also useful and inspirational. The middle is a chalkboard, I have my jewelry display, and I incorporated family photos that make me happy. I think it turned out great. Plus, it was cheap. Alot of the frames I had already, and I just spray painted everything the same shade of white.

I also added a small organizational area. I hung four clipboards on the wall with detachable velcro strips. I can take the boards on or off to use and write on as I need. The table below is just an old table that I made a cover for. There is a shelf under that table where I store all my chargers and ugly cords.

I have so many pretty, girly touches in the room that make it mine. I have my Olzewski Disney lightbox collection, my collection of vintage Disney Little Golden Books, glass door knobs, owls and birds here and there, and so many other things that inspire me and make me happy.

I am so happy with it, and I really hope you like it. If you have any questions about where things came from or how I did something, I would love to share with you!
