Living art studio: Home design tips to boost creativity

by Qinjiang Beal 10/09/2022

Many creative homeowners dream of having their own private art studio. Home layouts might provide the extra square footage, but how do you go about designing the ideal creative space?

If you want to set up your functional art studio at home, there are plenty of ways to work with the space you already have. Here are some tips for boosting your creative spirit with your art studio at home:

How to find space for creativity

Without a dedicated studio space, it might seem impossible to find a place for creating art at home. However, there are plenty of options for creating studio space even in limited square footage.

Basements make an excellent option for an art space, regardless of whether they’re finished. You can also carve out your own little piece of the living room by adding a small desk and chair with art supplies. If you have a closet you’re not using, convert it into a mini-studio you can close up when not in use.

Basic elements of a home art studio

In the ideal situation, you have plenty of room for all the furniture and supplies you could want in a home art studio. But where to begin? Here are some of the essential pieces to consider including in your art space:

  • A spacious desk or table with plenty of space to spread out.
  • A comfortable, supportive chair.
  • Cabinets, shelving or other storage solutions for supplies.
  • Adequate lighting, both task and ambient.

Depending on what type of art you prefer to create, you may require more specialized tools or furnishings. However, knowing these basic art studio ideas can help you plan a design for a unique creative space in the comfort of your own home.
