3 Ways to Organize Your Art Studio

There really aren't any rules when it comes to decorating and organizing your art studio. The important thing is that you create a space where you feel comfortable and creative. After all, that's what your studio is all about. However, putting some thought into the design and organization can make you more productive. Here are four useful tips for organizing your art studio.

Store Your Art Supplies in Clear Bins

It's frustrating when you're looking for something in your art studio and you can't find it. That's why it's important to keep your space as organized as possible. One of the best ways to do this is to store all of your art supplies in clear bins. That way you can visually tell what's inside of them. Clear bins are easy to stack on a shelf or in a closet for easy access when you're ready to create, too.

Create Work Stations for Each of Your Projects

Your art studio needs organization, but that doesn't mean you can't work on multiple projects at once. Just make sure that each of your projects is in a separate space so that you don't get distracted as you work. Rolling carts are great for separating projects because you can station one project on a rolling cart and then move it to your work space when you're ready to work on it. You can easily make a rolling cart, too, and have several of them in your art studio.

Unless you're fortunate enough to have a huge art studio in your home with plenty of closets and storage, you'll want to look for ways to save space. One solution is using your walls for storage. You can buy floating shelves, install a cork board or hang baskets. All of these ideas will help you store your art supplies in easy reach without taking up valuable table space. Wall storage is also a great way to bring flair to the area. Be creative and look for storage solutions that inspire you.
Create a Place for Everything

The number one rule, whether you are organizing an art studio or any other space, is to create a place for everything. Clutter happens when your papers and stuff just gets dropped on the table. Instead, create a container, shelf, or spot for everything. There are different levels of organization. You can have a place for your paint, or you can organize your paint based on colors and shades. The level of organization you need is up to you.

These are just a few ideas to help you get your work area organized. Just remember that getting organized is only half the battle. You also have to stay organized by creating new habits for cleaning up your projects when you're finished. Good luck and have fun!

Homeowners who are considering selling their homes may be faced with a few decisions to make before they try listing. While there are certain times when the market is hot and buyers are willing to purchase buildings in any condition, this isn’t always the case, especially in some areas.
