3 Signs You Are Ready For A Craft Room Refresh
Paper crafting is not just an artistic outlet; it’s a sentimental way to show someone you care about them. Dedicated crafters often spend so much time putting love into their craft that they forget to show the same care for their craft space. Even the most cherished craft spaces can become cluttered and uninspiring over time. So, how do you remedy a neglected craft space? Just like you put energy into making a card for a friend to refresh their spirits, you can put energy into organizing your craft room to spark your creativity! Not sure if you need a craft room refresh? Check out these three tell-tale signs that your craft room needs a little boost!
Sign #1 - You Can’t Find What You Need When You Need It
Do you often find yourself digging through supplies mid-project? You are in the creative zone but can’t find a crucial element to make it all come together. Cluttered craft rooms steal time and sap creativity. The key to combating this issue is modular storage solutions. First, identify which supplies are consistently getting buried and misplaced. If they are supplies you need often, keep them closer to your work surface for easy access. The DeskMate Drawer Cabinet is a great option for keeping small tools and supplies organized and in reach while you craft. Available with helpful inserts like Ink Cube Grids and Half Trays, you're sure to find a solution to your desktop clutter.
Sign #2 - Your Craft Space Feels More Stressful Than Inspiring
Visual clutter not only hinders your ability to find essential supplies but also overwhelms you and interrupts your creative flow. Creating a calm, creative space starts with a few simple steps. The most crucial aspect of organization is knowing what you have. Taking inventory of your supplies is a great way to start grouping supplies into categories and being realistic about how you can organize them. Use our free downloadable Craft Inventory Chart to take inventory of your supplies today! The joy of an organized craft room is in the peaceful functionality of creating without clutter.
Sign #3 - You’ve Outgrown Your Current Setup
As you dive deeper into your crafting journey, your stash grows and your storage needs evolve. When your craft supplies outgrow your space, it’s time to reassess the layout and functionality. More supplies don’t always mean you need more space—you might just need an upgrade to your storage solution. By adding space-saving pieces and assigning a designated place to each supply, you can transform your craft room from a cluttered mess into a creative haven. Consider it as your space evolving with you. The system that worked for you when you had a few basic supplies may not be the right fit for where you are in your creative journey now.
How A Craft Room Refresh Can Reignite Your Creativity
If you’re still not sure you need a craft room refresh, ask yourself these questions:
- Can I find my supplies easily?
- Do I look forward to upcoming projects?
- What brings me joy when I craft?
- How many more projects could I start if I were more organized?
- What are some steps I can take to start refreshing my craft space?
Crafting is about spreading joy, harnessing creativity, and spending time doing what you love. If your cluttered space detracts from any of those benefits, it might be time to reevaluate how you organize your space and approach your craft.
