22 Craft Room Ideas to Spark Creativity

Paint It Lavender

Paint your craft room in an unexpected color to get your creative juices flowing. Mindy Gayer Design Co. turned a small unused bedroom into a light and bright upstairs combination craft space and laundry room. The room is painted in a fresh shade of lavender for an upbeat feel.

Float the Work Table

Turn a spare room into a sewing room with a central island and work table to preserve flow. Erin Williamson Design added colorful accents to brighten this top floor space that includes a guest sleeping loft.

Set Up Multiple Stations

Create a family-friendly crafting room with multiple work stations and plenty of storage. Whittney Parkinson Design finished this all-white space with gold metallic accents for a hit of bling.

Hang Colorful Wallpaper

Colorful wallpaper in a cheerful pink and orange palm print pattern adds an uplifting feel to this sunny Southern California craft room from Mindy Gayer Design Co. Use removable wallpaper for a budget-friendly DIY.

Pay Attention to Details

Match your craft room storage to the style of your space. In keeping with the room's farmhouse style, My 100-Year-Old Home organized a vintage storage cabinet with vintage-style labels that look like they were typed on a wonky vintage typewriter.

Create a Crafting Corner

For bloggers who enjoy crafting and have turned that passion into part of their day job, having both a craft space and a home office is essential. A Beautiful Mess set up a crafting area on the righthand wall of this bright and bold home office with a sewing desk and machine for crafting, and a pegboard for frequently used tools.

Use a Vintage Work Table

Choose budget-friendly reclaimed or thrift shop furniture like a rustic farm table to give your craft room an authentic feel. My 100-Year-Old Home added a wall of painted built-ins with open and closed shelving for supplies to keep the space organized and clutter-free.

Include a Mood Board

Decorate the walls of your craft room with a mood board designed to jump-start creativity. Mindy Gayer Design Co. backed a cork board with checkered fabric that matches the palette of this lavender and white combination laundry room/craft room.

Wallpaper the Ceiling

Give your finished basement a boost with colorful accents. Casa Watkins Living turned a blank unused basement into a DIY craft room and home office with vibrant ceiling wallpaper, a rainbow-colored rug, and well-defined zones for working, storage, and coffee breaks.

Create a Studio Space

The craft room is a maker's answer to an artist's studio, but there's no reason you can't combine the two if you love to make both art and crafts. This airy space from Leanne Ford Interiors has white-painted floors and walls, vintage furniture, and a wrap-around picture ledge for displaying your creations.

Make It Kid-Friendly

Turn a corner of your playroom into a kids' craft corner. Maison Ellie decorated this shared space with confetti wallpaper, a large wardrobe for organizing supplies, and side-by-side wall desks for projects and homework.

Use Vertical Space

Use vertical space to display supplies on the wall. Blogger Ursula Carmona of Home Made By Carmona stored multi-colored spools of thread and other materials in racks on the walls of this sewing room and craft space that double as budget-friendly decor.

Use Lockers for Storage

Keep clutter at bay in a smaller space by using lockers for storing supplies. A Beautiful Mess painted them bright pink and added a wire basket in the corner of the room to house rolls of fabric and paper.

Install a Giant Peg Wall

Hanging a giant pegboard is a versatile way to maximize wall space while storing small supplies. Michelle Berwick Design designed a craft area in a large multi-functional basement playroom to provide endless possibilities for storage and display.

Add Stealth Storage

Repurpose thrift store furniture like a corner cabinet to provide stealth storage in a multi-purpose. Thistlewood Farms added a painted white corner cabinet to this converted bedroom craft room that keeps the room clutter free when not in use.

Convert a Clothes Closet

A converted closet on the other side of this craft room from Thistlewood Farms provides storage for supplies thanks to simple shelving, storage bins, a wall-mounted pegboard, and a large wall calendar to keep track of projects and to-do lists.

DIY a Wall Organizer

Decorate your craft room walls with budget-friendly pieces. Casa Watkins Living added a DIY wall macrame organizer that doubles as decor in the basement craft room and office.

Make It Multi-Purpose

Create a multipurpose space for remote work or craft projects in a guest room. Leanne Ford Interiors lined the walls with mood boards, added a large farmhouse table with seating for a crowd, and hung a curtain to hide the bed.

Add Scandi Style

Create a mixed-use craft room with a black-and-white palette. Maison Ellie outfitted this Scandi-style basement playroom with an arts and crafts area anchored by a budget-friendly IKEA dining table and simple storage units.

The table is located next to the existing built-in wet bar, making it convenient to the sink for easy clean-ups once arts and crafts time is over.

Share Your Space

Blogger Jeska Hearne of Lobster and Swan created a DIY his-and-hers craft room and home office along the same wall with a mix of IKEA and vintage finds. On the crafting side, open shelving keeps everything from a vintage frame mood board to supplies and inspiring knickknacks visible and at hand.

Add Farmhouse Style

Decorate your craft room to match the style of your interiors. My 100-Year-Old Home created a neutral-toned craft room that has the same modern farmhouse style as the rest of the home.

Convert the Garage

If you are a serious crafter who loves an ambitious DIY project, convert your unused garage into a crafting workshop. Blogger Ursula Carmona of Home Made By Carmona built a DIY workshop with custom storage like rolling carts, adjustable shelves, and cubbies for supplies and tools.
