Did you ever think you would have accumulated so many scrapbooking supplies when you got into this hobby? You may still be moving your supply stash from room to room looking for a workspace to design your page layouts. For many, having a scrapbooking craft room is a dream. Yet, if you look closely, you may just find a way to create a scrapbooking space that is all your own. You may not have a whole room to devote to your hobby, but a closet could be the answer to your craft room dream.
A unused closet can be an ideal place for your scrapbooking supplies, and with some organization it can be designed to include a workspace as well. Closets are perfect for storage because you can simply close the doors and hide away any mess or unfinished projects. However, to keep your scrap space ready for your next project, taking time to organize it is essential.
It doesn’t really matter whether the closet is in a bedroom or not. Preferably it shouldn’t be a hall closet, because it may make it difficult to sit a chair up to the workspace without blocking the hallway. A closet in a room that wouldn’t interfere with the rest of the family is the best choice.
Decide whether the closet will be a permanent solution to your scrapbooking space or just a temporary one. If it will be permanent, you can invest in designing shelves and storage containers that suit the closet space. If you plan to eventually move your supplies to another space or moving is in your future, stack portable containers and bins with wheels. Modular shelves may be a better option if you plan to reuse the closet for another purpose later.
