The perfect quilting room should be organized and inspiring, a combination of practical storage space and a design area with plenty of ideas to get your creative juices going. But if your tools and supplies are scattered all over the room and you can barely spot your workspace, you may have trouble finding inspiration for your next quilting project. Consider these design tips to create for that perfect quilting room makeover.
Organize quilting supplies: Start by organizing your supplies in plastic containers. Each type of supply, including quilting fabrics, quilt blocks and kits, threads, embellishments and fasteners, should have its own plastic container; do not mix supplies. Organize your quilting fabrics by color or motif. If you need help, consider browsing Pioneer Plastics’ catalog of plastic prototypes.
Organize quilting tools: Handy quilting tools, such as scissors, magnifiers, rulers, rotary cutters and other tools, should be organized in tall plastic containers. You can also use rectangular plastic display cases to store items such as frames, hoops, seam rippers and other tools.
Custom storage containers: If quilting is more than a hobby, consider ordering custom containers for specific quilting supplies and tools. Pioneer Plastics, a professional injection mold design company, offers custom plastic containers that can be tailored to a specific size and shape to accommodate your needs. Or, consider repurposing other plastic containers for quilting supplies. For example, you can reuse old diecast car displays to store fasteners or seam rippers.
To keep you inspired, don’t forget to decorate your quilting room with past projects. Hang your favorite quilts on the wall and show off your accomplishments. With these simple ideas, it is easy to create an organized and stylish quilting room or art studio.
