An artist’s studio is not just a place to create—it’s where an artist begins to discover their voice and lay the foundation for future success. However, when an artist is first starting out, it can be difficult to find the space for an art studio. That’s why we’ve put together this list of five inspiring art studio ideas to help you kickstart your creative journey and set yourself up for success.
The advantage of this space is that these rooms often have large windows, which allow you to work on your projects in natural light. This allows you to see the line quality and color palettes of your work more easily.
This setup has an extra benefit in that this type of studio space has a large door that you can open to let in the natural light. It also allows you to clear out any spray paint or turpentine fumes: You just need to open the door for a bit.
Often these spaces also have more storage space. This is a definite benefit once you become a professional artist. You'll have places to store canvases as they dry.
Do keep in mind that some of your office furniture may do double duty. That is to say that your beautiful office desk may also become a storage receptacle for some of your art supplies.
As such, you'll want to take measures to protect these pieces. Dry materials, like graphite or colored pencils, may be better candidates for on-desk storage. You may want to store oil and acrylic paints on a rolling cart or in art bins off to the side of your workspace.
On a related note, your kid's rooms can be turned into studio space if your kids are older and out of the house. Really, any spare room will work in this scenario.
Your home art studio is the place where you'll create your masterpieces. It's a place that allows you to tap into your true artist self and to become the artist you've always wanted to be. Creating exceptional art doesn't always require you to have an exceptionally large space.
Rather it requires you to look at room design differently. If you can look at the space you currently have with fresh, creative eyes, you should be able to build a home studio that you love.
