Ideas for Your Hobby Closets


Craft Closet

Start by putting up some pegboards to hang all your tools like scissors, ribbons, and cutting mats. It’s incredibly handy! You can also add some shelves for easy access to your materials like cardstock, fabric, and paints.


And how about a working surface? It’s perfect for spreading out your projects and letting your creativity flow!


Music Room Closet

Opt for some custom shelves designed just for your guitars, keyboards, and other instruments too. Then you can also add compartments for your sound equipment and accessories, so everything stays organized and easy to grab when you’re ready for a jam session or recording!


Art Studio Closet 

Want a space where you can easily store your canvases, paints, brushes, and all your other supplies in a way that sparks creativity? Try using bins and drawers to keep everything organized as well as vertical dividers to keep canvases in order.

Desk Integration 

How about adding a desk to your custom closet system? You can include drawers just for organizing files and office supplies. This will not only make the most of your space but also create a smooth workflow where everything you need is right at your fingertips!


Tech Storage

It’s helpful to set up specific spots for your computer, printer, and other gadgets. Think about adding some shelves or compartments to keep everything tidy and out of the way, but still easy to grab when you need them.

Lighting Solutions 

Make sure your workspace is bright enough with some good task lighting! It helps with visibility and boosts your productivity. Also utilize adjustable lights, like desk lamps or overhead fixtures that can customize the lighting for whatever you're working on.


Enjoy a workspace that feels both functional and welcoming!
