Create A Craft Room In Your Unused Basement

By Christopher Behan

If you’re like most other crafters, your craft space is probably overflowing with balls of yarn, tubes of paint, stacks of decorative paper, and countless doodads and little tools for this technique or that. And, chances are that you also have a significant other, roommate, or family member who is constantly asking you to tidy up your space. If only they knew how difficult it is to keep an area neat and organized when you lack ample storage and counter space. If you have unused basement space, then you might just be able to appease your loved one while giving yourself even more space to enjoy your beloved hobby. That’s because you can transform your uninviting basement into a bright, organized space for creating all your crafts.

Scrapbooking is one craft that just seems to be getting more and more popular each and every year. If you’re an avid scrapbooker, then you know just how many supplies are needed to create the lavishly detailed pages that are all the rage right now. You probably have a paper cutter; countless types of glue, tapes, and other adhesives; spools upon spools of ribbons; markers in every shade imaginable; and, of course loads upon loads of paper. These supplies require a pretty large storage area, which many crafters simply don’t have. All the more reason to transform the unused space in your basement into a scrapbooker’s paradise!

Another popular craft that can take up lots of space is glass fusing. Glass artists, like scrapbookers, need a miscellany of tools to create their masterpieces. But, unlike those needed for scrapbooking, the tools for glass work can be very big and very bulky. Storing torches, kilns, gloves, masks, and a myriad of safety equipment can require a significant amount of space. Plus, millefiori beads, dichroic glass strips, and fusable glass sheets require special care and must be stored in a particular way to ensure they don’t break into millions of tiny little pieces. Homeowners who have unused basement space are in luck, because they can transform their wasted spaces into a glass studio with ample room for storage and glass work.

Even jewelry makers can sometimes need abundant storage space, despite the fact that their tools and supplies are usually pretty small, especially when compared to those needed for glass fusing or scrapbooking. Nonetheless, jewelry supplies can take up extra space for the mere fact that each supply must be stored separately from the others. You wouldn’t want purple seed beads, gold findings, and pink crystals all jumbled together. How would you ever find what you need to create that funky new bracelet you’ve been designing? With each supply needing its own little box, compartment, or bag, storage space can go fast. But, as with other types of crafters, jewelers can find a treasure trove of space in their unused basements.

No matter your craft of choice, basement remodeling can help you find the space you need to enjoy your passion. What are you waiting for? Start creating your craft space today!
