Get crafty in the living room

A craft space in the living room is not as daunting as it seems. It makes it easier for you to join in, or be on hand to help. The trick is to use furniture that blends into the space.

A one-stop art station

Here’s a super useful way to keep favourite pens and pencils near the paper when you don’t have lots of space. Store it with the paper itself!

Space for their artistic streak to grow

If there’s room, a desk in their bedroom creates another great crafting spot. Store craft materials and paper in arm’s reach with open shelving on or beside the desk.
