2. Utilize Vertical Space
To get the most storage out of every square inch , Sims fashion the room with multiple organizational feature on the walls . paint lilac and mint park , a large magnetized table above the green bloomers holds Jazmin ’s most - used putz as well as inspo and souvenir .

A woven basket for paper rolls and wire wheel for cards , which Jazmin found on the curbing , provide more storage .

Upper shelves hold bins filled with giving bags , ribbon , and hand-crafted paper party decoration . mesh topology drawers store small scrapbooking supplying , stamps , and prick . A shelf in the middle houses larger equipment : a printing machine and precise cutting machine . The mix of opaque and see - through drawers preserve the closet neat without becoming too neat . “ I ’m always surprised how much joy my loo lend me , ” Jazmin says .
5. Pick a Color Scheme with Personality
A hard - workingcraft roomcan be inspired by the artistic production made inside of it . Jazmin wanted the space to boost her creative thinking , so it was important for the elbow room to experience like the artistic creation she creates . Designer Sims used the wallpaper as a focal stop on one bulwark , then spun the room ’s palette from there , pulling the paper ’s pale cracking pure tone onto the walls and choosing more vibrant accent to complement the wall painting ’s cool tone .
