Every creative mind needs a hobby room, a room devoted to them where their personality is on display and their creative juices start flowing from the second they walk in. Step aside HGTV, with these craft room ideas, you can create the crafting space of your dreams without breaking the bank. Whether you need space dedicated to your lucrative side hustle or simply want a dedicated nook for your hobbies, these tips can help you set up a place where you can be inspired and productive.

1. Find a space: Whether it's an empty room or an elevated stairway landing, you will need to find the craft space that works for you. Remember, no space is too big nor too small to let your creative juices flow and be the best crafter you can be! Consider a room divider or strategically placed shelving unit to section off a shared space. If your hobby room also doubles as an office space, a room divider will make each space their own and won’t let the stresses of the workday intervene with your crafty craze.

2. Set up a sturdy workspace: A large, durable table or desk is key to a productive workspace; wood desks are some of the sturdiest and most durable options. Make sure you find one that works well with your smorgasbord of supplies and materials, so you are able to work comfortably and efficiently. If you have the space, a project table with a large workspace and a built-in bookcase or other shelving can be an ideal work and storage solution. You can also turn a small space into your dream craft room by positioning a writing desk or other small desk across the floor space and adding some funky wallpaper or some wall art close by.

3. Get a comfortable chair: It is no surprise that most of your time crafting is spent on your seat! Treat your seat by investing in a high-quality office chair. Drape a beautiful throw or fur over the back to add a chic yet comfortable element. In addition to comfort, an office chair with wheels comes in very handy! You may need to scoot around from one organizational station to the next and, we all know, you won't want to get up a million times to do so!

4. Add plenty of storage for your supplies: Make sure all of your supplies are considered when looking at storage options for your hobby room. Credenzas and utility cabinets are very useful for storage. Don't forget to have plenty of storage baskets or boxes to further organize your supplies!

5. Shelving: Use up your wall space for more than just decor. Adjustable shelving above your workspace allows for your supplies to be within arm’s reach as you craft away. Crafting supplies kept open and in plain view not only make them easily accessible but, when organized correctly, make them pleasing to the eye!

6. Add lighting: A hobby room is your space to create and show off your personality. Start by taking advantage of natural lighting. Next, make a style statement with a fun pendant light or chandelier. Hanging lights mimic natural light and are easy on your eyesight, ideal for your hours of crafting. Finally, add a floor or desk lamp as task lighting right next to your work space.

7. Decorate and personalize: KEEP. IT. SIMPLE. What are crafters best at? DIY projects, duh! Amp up your shelving by adding some printed fabric on each side. Create some do it yourself canvas art to display on your hobby room walls. That way your art is on display no matter what project you have in the works! You could even incorporate a peel and stick wallpaper to add additional color and personality to the space.

8. Add an area rug: Adding a fun and colorful area rug that plays well with the rest of your space will tie the room together. On top of this, it will also create a soft and comfortable space to walk and rest your feet on as you craft away! Consider a chair mat, which features a non-skid backing so the rug stays put, and works on any flooring surface.

These hobby room ideas will guarantee you create the craft room of your absolute dreams. At the end of the day, remember to keep it simple, keep it you and, of course, let the crafting begin!
