Whether you’re a focused hobbyist or love trying out a new craft every week, you deserve a haven that can house your supplies. A well-organized craft closet can make hobbies more accessible and keep clutter at bay, making them a benefit to the whole household. Read on as we share tips to make space for your hobbies with Dallas craft closet designs.
Storage Options for Crafting Tools
When you’re mapping out your custom craft closet, it’s useful to start with your biggest items. We’re talking about those bulky tools like sewing machines, Cricuts, and camera equipment. Not only will these take up the most space in your craft closet, but they may be heavy and difficult to store. Shelves installed at waist height are a great storage option for heavy crafting tools because they’ll eliminate the need to bend forward or lift with your back. Additionally, your shelves should be deep enough that your tools don’t hang over the edge to prevent unexpected falls.
Space Savers for Fabric and Textiles
If you quilt or sew, you probably keep endless bolts of fabric (not to mention fabric scraps) on hand. Having to stack and store fabric can be frustrating because it limits your ability to peruse your options. Instead, consider using pant racks to vertically hang your biggest pieces. You can use pull-out drawers or storage bins to house all your smaller scraps, organizing them by project, pattern, or color.
Organization for Yarn and Embroidery Thread
As closet designers, we’re always thinking outside of the box—and outside of the standard closet. When it comes to storing yarn, you can go a long way by installing shoe fences on your open shelves. That way, every skein is visible and easy to grab, but you also won’t have to worry about an avalanche of yarn every time you open the closet door. If you work with thread, install shallow drawers outfitted with jewelry trays so each shade can have its own space. No more digging through piles of thread to find the color you need!
Design Ideas for Beads and Small Items
If there’s one thing most hobbies have in common, it’s that they tend to require an abundance of small items. Whether you string your own bracelets, paint model cars, or scrapbook, you need a meticulous system to keep your smallest supplies organized. Once again, jewelry trays and other drawer organizers can be easily repurposed to store your supplies. The best part is that many of these closet accessories are removable, meaning you can take the entire organizer from the drawer and bring it to the table or workbench.
