5 Ways to Maximize Space in Your Craft Room

May 4, 2020 by Einat Kessler

We all have too much supplies and not enough space for it. It doesn’t matter if you have a craft room, a corner in the house or just a closet. These tips will help you get more space for all the supplies you need to store.

1. Stack

I have a thing about boxes.Most boxes have lids on the top which means you can put anything on top of them because you need to open them up right? WRONG! Stack your boxes. Put one on top of the other. In a perfect world you would put the boxes one next to the other but in real life we have to make compromises. Use coordinating boxes in size and in pattern or color so it will look nice as well as being practical. And if you need something from the bottom box just move the boxes on top, a little exercise for the hands.

2. Adjustable Shelves

I bought shelf units in IKEA so I can adjust the space between the shelves according to the space I need. Unlike on a pre-built shelf unit I don’t waste space when things are smaller and I can fit tall stuff as well as more shelves.

3. Use the walls

If we all had huge craft rooms we could fill the walls with our creations but unfortunately that is not the case. If there is no room in drawers, shelves or cabinets move to the walls. I found some great ideas in the kitchen section in IKEA (again…I know it’s affordable) that I could hang on the wall. It’s a great solution for supplies that can be stored in containers and don’t take a lot of room.

4. Under the Table

There is a huge space that is usually missed…the space under the table. Your legs only need so much room to move…so why not utilize this space for storage. I have some large boxes with all kinds of supplies, as well as my Etsy shop packing materials and all the stuff I sell at the store. It’s all carefully wrapped and organized.

5. Remove Packages

Packages can be complicating things. They’re not flexible and usually much bigger than the product they hold inside. I took all the supplies out of their packages and put them in little containers I arranged in a drawer. If the manufacturer or product name is important add a little note on the bottom of the container.

Even small spaces can have plenty of room for all our supplies if only we organize them in a creative way. I hope you’ll try some of these ideas or come up with some ideas of your own.

When she was a young girl Einat used to sit on the carpet at her grandparents’ house with a huge scrapbook on her knees looking through it with amazement. These albums, created from scratch by her grandfather took her imagination to faraway places and sparked her creativity years later. When her first son was born her grandfather suggested she would create a scrapbook to document his life. Einat was bit by the scrapbooking bug and the rest is history.
Today Einat is a versatile designer who owns her own business. She dabbles in various crafts from scrapbooking and altered art to mixed media and 3D paper crafts. She teaches online classes and design for several companies. She shares her projects and designs on her blog, FB page and very successful YouTube channel.
