My craft room was once just a rolling cart in a closet. What I have today took years of growth, organizing and rearranging. The photos you see here are my current craft room, which isn’t even a real room but the large landing in between two sets of stairs. This is just a quick peek at how I have my space laid out.
There are some basic details in the captions of the photos for now. Later, I will write more posts looking more closely at some of these storage items, where I found them and how I use them. I will say that all of the white furniture pieces are from IKEA and most of the natural colored wood items (paper and ink storage) are from Stamp N Storage. If anything looks useful to you and you want to know what it is, send me a comment and I will try to reply quickly.
One last thing – I have kids! Everything in my craft room has to be child proofed in some way. I had my dad make doors on my supply unit which I close with a child lock when not in use. Almost everything else has a safety strap on it to keep the kiddos out. This is a rental and I don’t want to chance the carpet or walls being ‘decorated’ with alcohol inks.
On top: Ink storage by Stamp N Storage, washi tape in pull out bins and ribbon in Iris ribbon storage boxes.
On top: card rack display, lamp, Brother Scan N Cut & Heidi Swapp Minc machine. I have a desktop monitor riser in between both machines so that they can be stacked like this.
I am indecisive when it comes to crafting mats so I have both the Tim Holtz glass media mat as well as a light up, self-healing Cutterpillar Glow.
The lamp on the edge of my desk is a clamp-on LED Ott-Lite.
The blue binders are 12×12 albums with ScrapRack storage sheets in them. They hold everything from embellishments to embossing folders to color swatches. Look out for a post coming soon that will look closer at the binders you see here.
On top: IRIS card keeper boxes.
On the side: acrylic wall files with magazines and coloring books I never touch.
wow.. such fantastic supplies! I could live in your craft room lol!
Expertly organized. Love it.
Retiring soon and my small craft room MUST get organized ! Love the Ikea Kallax with the Stamp N Storage cubes. I have TONS of dies that will be stored in refrigerator bins & will put a lot of weight on the Kallax shelves. So do you think the shelves will bow/warp over time ? Do you think putting a Stamp N Storage cube underneath them will help keeping the shelf from bowing or warping ? I do think its cheaper this way than having to get custom built storage. What do you think? Is there anything you would do different? Love your craft room !
Happy retirement! I am not sure the stamp n storage inserts will help prevent bowing. They are fairly heavy themselves and don’t fit super snuggly (I actually add some foam tape under them to keep them from shifting). With that said, I haven’t noticed any bowing and my kallax is loaded to the max. IKEA rates each shelf as holding 29lbs.
