One thing I love about craft spaces is that they almost always end up being full of color; rainbow spools of thread, skeins of yarn, and bunches of markers become decoration in and of themselves. Keeping organization in mind, work vertically with shelves, cups, and bins to fit them all in.
If you don't have a room to dedicate to crafting, consider concentrating your stash in a closet (Image 3) or free-standing cupboard (Image 6). I did this with a built-in cupboard in my last apartment, and even though it wasn't very big, I felt satisfied that I had made a spot just for me and my materials (Image 7).

The colors in 1, 4, and 9 are especially pretty. I don't see credits for 6 and 9, although I see from the text that 6 is yours. Very nice post!
I am lucky enough to have my own craft room and I always love seeing other people's rooms. I just wish i had more time to spend in mine.
I really should show this to my mom... she's just starting to convert my sister's old bedroom into a craft room.
I'm in love with 3 and 8 for functionality. It makes me think that I could turn our office/storage/sewing room into more of an office/craft room. Most of the storage is crafty anyway, and it would be nice to see some function there.
I have not until now been on the pennant bandwagon. HOWEVER, they are SUPER cute in #7!
I agree with Lucy Lamare...I LOVE that pennant fabric? wallpaper? giftwrap? that is behind the windows in #7.
The idea of a craft room seems like a crazy dream to this New Yorker. But I did just get a barrister bookcase that I plan to fill with yarn and stick in my closet. . . .
Yeah, it would be very interesting, I'm sure, to see how NYC crafters, sewers, and artisans make it work in teeny-tiny apartments.
