As a parent, it’s natural to want to foster your child’s creativity. But you don’t want to sacrifice every semblance of order in your home for it. That’s where custom storage comes into play. Shelving, cabinets, bins and more can keep the chaos at bay. Keep reading to explore some great ways you can organize your kids’ craft room using tailor-made storage solutions.
Vertical Storage
This is the obvious one. Custom-built shelving units or wall-mounted cabinets can store supplies like paints, markers, and brushes while keeping them easily accessible yet out of the way. And by using vertical area, you save floor space for crafting or playtime.
Modular Cabinets and Drawers
Investing in modular cabinets and drawers lets you customize your storage. You can choose the size and layout of each compartment to hold craft supplies from paper to beads, to fabrics. And these cabinets can be designed to fit seamlessly into the room, effectively making use of corners and alcoves.
Easy to Maintain Styles
Sticky little hands and accidental spills are an inevitability in kids’ craft rooms, but custom storage can be designed for that! Avoid crevices and raised edges that collect dust and dirt. Sleek modern cabinet designs, including slab front and eased edge doors, make for easy cleaning. And you don’t have to sacrifice style for practicality. Laminate and Thermofoil come in a variety of beautiful finishes and colors, clean easily with warm water and soap, and resist stains.
Personalized Workstations
Create individual workstations for each child with custom built desks or tables. Add storage solutions like drawers or cubbies under the work surface to keep supplies within arm’s reach. Base the design on each child’s storage needs or work preferences. Do your kids enjoy more than one kind of crafting? Set up workstations by craft type instead, so they can rotate through their favorites.
Double up and save space by adding storage for homework, so the workstation can double as a desk. Or turn the bedroom into a craft space with a Murphy bed that folds away to make room for your little one’s daily activities.
Pegboards and Hooks
Pegboards are a great option for kids’ craft rooms. Hooks and baskets can hold scissors, tape, ribbon, and more. You can even paint the pegboard to match the room’s decor or add a pop of color!
Labeling and Organization Systems
An organization system is key for keeping order in a craft room. Use bins, jars, or drawer dividers to sort smaller items, and label them accordingly. Consider adding color-coded systems for organizing supplies by type or frequency of use. This kind of wordless labeling is especially good for children who are just learning how to read. With good labeling, kids can easily help with cleanup, practicing good habits and learning responsibility.
