If you craft, then you want a dedicated space that’s both functional and beautiful, whether you have an entire room bathed in natural light (lucky!) Or only a nook or cupboard to phone your own. This month, I’ve gathered 20 locates that will help pull together your creative craft space. From appealing storage to furnishings, supplies and inspirational artwork and books, you will find just a little bit of everything . Happy crafting! — Laura out of Lolalina
Hudson Paint
Hudson Chalkboard Paint – $24.99
I am sure we all understand the marvels of chalkboard paint by now, but what about chalkboard paint in any colour you want? Hudson Paint company makes wonderful chalkboard paint at a full range of colors, so you can paint that accent wall or classic cupboard and draw on it, also!

I adore the simplicity of this sawhorse desk out of Wisteria. The adjustable table elevation means you can work sitting or standing depending on your needs at the moment.
Twine
Jeu de Paumes – $39
Édition Paumes books from Japan are a bit of an obsession among those in the know — every slim book is packed with interior design and craft inspiration from real homes around the world. And the covers seem so cute stacked up on your desk, how do you resist?
Etsy

Dutch designer Ingrid Jansen makes these beautiful stools from reclaimed wood and hand-crocheted covers. Each is unique, so check the store for certain pieces available today. This little piece is so flexible: use it as extra seats, a footrest, or a desk for stacking books and magazines.
Orla Kiely
Orla Kiely Notebook Set – $12.50
I am a huge lover of Orla Kiely’s modern prints, and these little notebooks are an inexpensive way to bring her routines into your home. Plus, they are great for journaling or sketching out new craft ideas.
A+R
Wood Architect Lamp – $295
Lighting is so essential in a work space, even if your craft”room” is similar to a cupboard. Whenever you are doing close work such as beading, sewing or sketching, task lighting is key. This all-wood version of the timeless architect’s lamp recently caught my eye — I love the chunky shape and raw appearance, along with the quality construction means it is going to last for many years to come.
Design Within Reach
Tolix Marais Barstool | Design Within Reach – $180
These classic stools out of Tolix in France look refreshing in mint green. Obviously, when you work at a desk for long intervals, you are going to want a chair, but stools are perfect for the kind of crafting at which you are up and down a lot. And they happen to be on sale right now at Design Within Reach — bonus!
Etsy
“We stayed just along the shore…” by Sarah Ahearn Bellemare – $22
An essential ingredient in any craft space is inspiration, and what better way to inspire than with work out of a popular artist? I adore the colors and the use of a vintage photo in this print out of Sarah Ahearn Bellemare.
Etsy
Cuplight Candle Holder by snugstudio – $47.90
I adore having candles lit while I work — it adds much to the ambiance, and I swear it also enhances creativity. Do not save candles for special occasions! These cuplights from German brand Snug Studio are so magical, I would line up a few in a windowsill.
Enjoy Loans + Linen
Ceramic Latte Cups – AUD 30
These handmade cups by Samantha Robinson are similar to functional works of art. I would use one to display charcoal pencils, paint brushes, or layout pens. However, by all means, use them for your own coffee if you prefer!
Etsy
Quilted Sewing Machine Cover by CityChicCountryMouse – $58
While I get the sewing machine I’ve been pining after for ages, I would love one of these handmade quilted covers to slip over it. This one is made of tasty Amy Butler fabric, certain to cheer up any sewing room.
Hable Construction
Charcoal Checker Storage Box – $98
These little bins from Hable Construction happen to be on my wish list indefinitely. They’re sized perfectly for corralling just about anything you can think about, and the material is wonderfully thick. Use one for every knitting project, to organize your fabric stash, and keep your paper ephemera collection clean, or perhaps put letter-sized files inside.
Happy Tape
Japanese Masking Tape – $36
Japanese masking tape, also known as Washi tape, is a wonderfully versatile craft merchandise. I cannot imagine life without it. Use it to embellish packages and envelopes, make collages, make tags, decorate vases, boxes, or graphic frames — the possibilities are infinite.
Dimensions: 15 mm (approximately 1/2″) or 9 mm (approximately 1/4″) wide x 15 m (about 50′) long. 10 rolls.
Anthropologie
Where Can I Put It? Knob – $10
Swapping out plain hardware for something interesting is the simplest way to revamp an old chest or storage cupboard. Anthropologie always has the cutest choice, and these are my current favorites.

I love the texture and colour of this handmade granny-chic rug. Just the thing for heating cold toes in the studio on a chilly fall morning!
