These craft room ideas will certainly inspire! Let’s be honest, a gorgeous and organized craft room is just fun! Honestly, this is so much fun and I keep sneaking away from other BORING home maintenance projects to dream about my new office.
**UPDATE: My own Craft Room Sanctuary is complete and I am showing both my inspiration and how it turned out below! If you want to skip to it, click here for the full Craft Room Makeover Reveal.
Long ago, I asserted that hubby and I would always share an office. To tell the truth, he hasn’t always been the fondest of this idea. I can’t blame him as my philosophy is not to put away a project until it is finished (i.e. messy girl). I can remember a time when we were newlyweds and he moved his desk into another room. I slid into one of my bratty, petty, and sort-of-hilarious episodes and would text him (he was literally next door) to “come here please” over and over and over. Yeah, it was petty, but he moved back. Now I have to clean up my act if I want to keep it that way.
List of MUSTS for craft room organization:
- 1. LOTS of wall storage
- 2. I desperately want one of those cute pegboards
- 3. Must have an area for my son to draw and display his artwork
- 4. Must be able to keep my mess at bay and away from Husband’s desk
- 5. Must be light and bright (I do some photography in there)
- 6. Must have a computer station
- 7. Must be movable for now (the floors will be redone later in the year or next year)
- 8. Must be cheap (budget for entire room is under $1000)
- 9. Must be inspiring!
To tell you about my craft room, it’s a 16x9ft room. Today is about the inspirational craft room ideas I have cooking up and how they were actually implemented in my own craft room. *This post may contain affiliate links.
Pegboards for Organization
And my very own DIY Made and Framed Pegboard
Craft Room Wall Storage Ideas
But I know that isn’t nearly enough storage for my hoard of craft supplies. So, I asked hubby to build me a version of this storage unit.
Which turned out much less rustic and I love it just as much!
For my son’s artwork, I have the perfect way for him to display it in all its glory!
Wall Display for Children’s Art, Photographs, or even Christmas Cards
Craft Supply Organization Ideas
Ok, now that we have the storage covered, I still need some inspiration for storing cute supplies that will be in the viewable area.
Check these ideas out!
- Get this 3-tier unit here from a post on workspace organization
- Thread Organizer that you can frame on the wall
- Glitter Glue Storage
- Embellishment Tackle Box
- Markers in Apothecary Jars (love these jars)
- Craft Supplies in Mason Jars
- Storing Ribbon on Clothespins
- Craft Paint in IKEA buckets – I’m not sure if IKEA has these buckets still, but you can use a window box and hangers like these a similar effect.
- Craft Supply Carts
I think this room is gonna shape up to be a dream judging from all these beautiful craft room ideas! Do you have any unique ways to store office and craft supplies?

July 5, 2019 at 5:52 pmI love this post! I just had the floors in my house redone and it was a grand excuse to reorganize my craft room. I used many of the same ideas. The cute little carts that are $79 at Amazon are only $30 at Container Store. I use two: one for paint supplies and one for sewing supplies. Wish I could share pictures!

May 9, 2019 at 2:35 pmI love looking at craft ideas, whether it’s gifts or rooms. At our present house I thought I’d have a craft room in our pass through bedroom, but it didn’t last long. It became a dumping area. We bought a house up in central Wisconsin and I plan on having my craft room in a section of our basement. There’s already a pegboard there that I plan on painting white to make it stand out. My husband will be hanging some florescent lights (the ones that are in my present ‘craft room’ because there’s only one bulb in there right now and you have to screw it in to light it. I hope to get back to my crafting once we’re settled and finishing all the craft projects I started plus some new ones. I’m retired now so I’ll have lots of time to concentrate on having fun and hopefully being creative.

May 10, 2019 at 8:29 amSounds like you have your work cut out for you, but I do hope you can get back to crafting again soon. It’s such a fun hobby and so useful. Having a dedicated space feels amazing and so organized, but I totally understand it becoming a dumping ground. My family tries hard to do that to me too, lol, but I’ve developed a few strategies to keep it at bay, such as not buying items without a specific project in mind (so hard!) and having a “reset” day where I basically declutter and clean and get the small projects out of the way before I can start any new ones. Very therapeutic! Best of luck on your new space and I hope you love it!

January 28, 2019 at 5:29 pmThat’s funny! I almost have the same Pegboards and I love it.

June 9, 2017 at 2:04 amThis is great, I’m currently creating my new art studio and envision it as cleverly crafty as what you have pictured.
Rachel says
June 10, 2017 at 5:56 pmThank you for the kind words! Having a dedicated space to be artistic and creative is about the best thing ever. I bet your space will be beautiful and functional when it is finished and I would love to see it!

May 7, 2015 at 10:53 pmGood luck!!!! You know you can use those wood crates for files? they fit perfectly! I just made some for my office 🙂 Thanks for linking up to Feature Friday!
Rachel says
May 10, 2015 at 8:21 pmThat’s a cool idea! I will have to keep that in mind when we get everything back into the office and I have to sort it all out. We pulled all the cabinets out this weekend to paint them in the basement. It’s a huge mess, haha!

May 6, 2015 at 1:56 pmMy craft room is my sunroom so I have plenty of light but its a shared space. I had it almost completely how I wanted it to share and then we started homeschooling and I had to adjust ALOT!! Also my dogs’ kennels are in there so they have their area and my husband has a corner with tools in it. I have some pegboard, lots of shelving, baskets and I love glass jars for storing. Hopefully I can get it in order once school is out and share it because we are planning to put our house on the market in a few months.

May 10, 2015 at 8:22 pmI love common areas like that where eveyone has their own station and can work on their own thing. Keeps everyone close. Good luck with the house move!

May 4, 2015 at 3:42 pmSome great craft room ideas. I’m slowing taking over our study and it has really become my craft room. Hubby’s pretty good though he actually made me a gorgeous thread holder for Christmas and bought me lots of threads to fill it up.
I love peg boards. I have bought myself little hooks and things to use on one but not got around to doing one yet 😉

April 29, 2015 at 11:57 amYou have me dreaming of the peg board that I plan to put in my office whenever I can get the hubby to help me! Great pics!
