When it comes to storage solutions, sometimes it’s necessary to think outside the box and come up with clever ways to keep everything neat and tidy. Whether you are using storage furniture, DIY storage or end up hacking existing products for your craft supplies. Inspiration is everywhere.
17 Genius Craft Storage Solutions For Your Dream Space
Do you have any idea how important it is for your mental health to maintain a fairly organized home? There are SO many psychological benefits to being well organized.

It's the entire reason I developed the Craft Room Transformation Challenge and then the Craft Room Designer Toolkit.
I reverse engineered the strategy behind my daily creativity sessions and developed the InFlow method of organizing with my DreamBox. That way I can ensure that crafter's everywhere can experience the same joy I experience from those daily creativity sessions.
We Already Know That Crafting Has Been Scientifically Proven To Reduce Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression
.....just in case you felt like you needed a reason to add more creativity into your daily routine.
You deserve a beautiful craft space, where your supplies are easy to access and even easier to put away! I think it's why I'm so obsessed with my DreamBox unit; I can just slide those totes back on the shelf and I can have as many shelves as I want in this bad boy (where I'm currently typing from).

Raskog Carts
This craft room is absolutely stunning! I'm obsessed with Raskog carts and the fact that this one has been utilised for sewing is ideal. Finding somewhere to store a sewing machine can be a genuine pain, this portable solution is fab.
Knitting Storage Totes Are A Great Idea
Large tote bags like these, are brilliant for storing a wide range of things from children’s toys to nightwear, shoes, and towels. If you want to store yarn, definitely go for a waterproof bag. Just in case. There was an incident with coffee and I still get emotional talking about it.
They’re also highly convenient as they can be easily hung from pegs on the back of the door (check these out for pretty!) meaning they won’t take up much excess room at all.
Furthermore, tote bags are lightweight and easy to carry around so can be taken with you on family holidays without much problem!
Spinning Stationery Organizer
I own a gigantic version of this from approximately It stores pretty much.. all of my pens. Which is ideal. If you need to have all of your office supplies in one place, instead of everywhere else in your home, grab one of these mini carousels!
Torie Jayne's Acrylic Drawers
I’ve been following Torie Jayne for years and I’m sure you can see why!
Her little sewing corner is absolutely beautiful and full of my favouritepastel shades.
Go up the wall with shelving and use acrylic drawers and organization to store your supplies.
Torie Jayne also has a giant dresser for her supplies and uses hooks and little wire baskets to store her fabric. Are we even going to talk about those Trunks?! Holy crap! They’re amazing! I’m in love with those colours. They’re my go to shades for colour meditations.
Best Vinyl Storage Idea
Did you know you could use a plastic bag organizer to store rolls of vinyl?!
You could use it to store contact paper, gift wrap, wallpaper or even giant knitting needles! Total genius move by Silhouette School
Pastel Crates
Pastel shades are my favourite so this is a complete wall of happiness for me. Once you find the crates that you want to use, stock up on chalk paint!
>> Here is my recommendation for chalk paint, but if you’re on a budget, this is an excellent alternative.
Vintage Desk Organizer
I’ve featured something similar to this nifty organizer in the post 15 Amazing Craft Storage Ideas To Steal Now! for storing washi tape (my FAVOURITE type of stationery).
Using a DIY dowel rod organizer for organizing your sewing thread is a genius idea!!

The Secret Compartment Chair
Furniture takes up quite a bit of floor space, so if you’re thinking about buying new chairs, a bed or suite, look for designs with plenty of hidden storage. They’re my true secret weapon.
Sofas with storage underneath the seats are great for keeping everything from books to newspapers, and beds with pull out drawers often have the capacity to store spare bed sheets and pillow covers.
You can always customise your own chair like this fabulous little kiddos chair by Craptastic Katie.
Conquering the Fabric Pile
Don’t forget to add handles like these so you can pull it in and out easily! I love this idea and would love to create some units like those for the cupboard under our stairs. It has truly inspired me. Thanks Katie from Smile Like You Mean It Blog! These are my absolute favourite handles, they look so fancy!
Crates On Wall
You can always transform these gorgeous little crates into mini shelves like Natalme did! It’s such a smart idea!
There are many storage solutions for small spaces, but if you are pushed for space it’s well worth putting up some sturdy shelves.
Shelves or crates can be placed on any empty wall and have the ability to hold everything from photographs and ornaments to DVDs and folders.
What’s more, when you’re thinking about where to put the shelves, don’t forget about wasted wall space which often goes unused.
Flip Down Wall Art Desk
These fold down desks are hugely popular and it's very easy to see why. You can use them for crafting, homework or even as a base station in your kitchen if you don't have much room.
Modular Storage
I’m a huge fan of modular storage, especially the one from Decor by the Sea Shore!
Craft Room In A Small Space
I am in love with the SewCanDo Small space sewing nook! Everything has been beautifully organised with a display desk from the Original Scrapbox Company, unfortunately, it’s no longer available but they have an amazing solution to keep your sewing accoutrements compact. But scroll up and check out the sewing box!
I need to decorate the small bedroom first before we see what money is left over for even more craft room furniture! We are now short on space so a little hustling will have to happen for sure.

Craft Room Organization - Paint Storage Box
This DIY Wine crate storage is simply fabulous! You can buy similar crates right here.
Personally, I wouldn’t be bothered to create one of these because I’m incredibly lazy but it’s a really good tutorial.
Giant Peg Board
Going up the walls and using a giant pegboard is a great idea for utilizing every available inch of space. I freakin love that pegboard AND I have that little spinning stationery carousel. It’s no longer available to purchase but this is a similar version if it had been hit by a ray gun and made smaller.

I love the crates on the wall. I have just recently put a giant peg board in my craft room and it's so handy, I love it.
Claire - Heart Handmade UK
The crates are fab! I love them too. I'm going to send Mister Heart Handmade to a few off sales (dangerous, but a risk I'm willing to take. Lol) to ask for some of their wine crates as most places just dump them, so that I can do something similar x
