With all of us spending more time indoors, you may be wondering how to create a hobby space in your home. If you want a hobby space but don’t have one, I’m here to help you learn how to create one in any room. Get ready to start living your creative dreams!
How To Create A Hobby Space In Any Room
We aren’t all lucky enough to have an entire room to devote to our favorite hobbies. Most of us have to figure out where to set up shop when we feel the creative juices flowing. If you’re used to sitting at the kitchen table there’s a better way to do things. Let me show you what I mean!
Find An Empty Wall Or Corner
Most of us have an empty wall somewhere, complete with all the {disorganized} supplies we need for our hobby of choice. Locate that comfy little spot, and designate it for your own hobby space. If it’s a corner of your living room, kitchen or even the guest room, you can make it work.
Get the organization helps you need to organize your tools as compactly as possible. Try to have everything you need for your hobby within easy reach. That may be a bookshelf or two, some stackable crates, or even some wall shelves.
Get Ready For Some Makeover Magic
Take a good look at your chosen space. How’s the lighting? Is there a comfy place to sit? Does the wall need a fresh coat of paint in your favorite color? Note what you feel it needs to be a happy spot, and work on getting it to that point.
Gather All the Necessities
No matter which hobby you like, whether it’s writing music, sewing, paper crafting, caring for houseplants or vlogging, think about the things your hobby space needs to have for you to create effectively. It may mean a work surface, specific tools, and other needs. Make sure that those things have a place.
Organization Hacks for Any Hobby Space
To get the most out of any hobby space, there are some organization hacks that can help. Here are some suggestions:
- An over-the-door shoe hanger has handy pockets to corral lots of little crafting needs
- If you need to hang a lot of tools, cut a piece of pegboard to fit the wall space
- As always, Dollar Tree is the perfect spot for inexpensive storage boxes and bins
As the last step in setting up your hobby space, don’t forget to add a little bit of what inspires you the most–inspirational quotes, happy music or pictures of your loved ones. Make it yours!
