Lela Burris craft room color scheme

Blog Studio + Craft Room Design Plan

October 4, 2021 · In: Design

Here is the first look at the design plans I have decided on for the studio/craft room makeover, along with a few sneak peeks at the projects I have planned.

Last week on the blog, I shared the big news that I ordered a Create Room DreamBox and I’m planning to redesign our blog studio to make it more functional for the whole team. I had planned on showing you the finished DreamBox this week, but there was a delay on the bins, so for now I’m going ahead and planning the rest of the room’s design elements instead.

I typically try to stick with only one project at a time, and with the Studio Bathroom getting its full-gut remodel in partnership with Home Depot’s Orange Tank competition starting this week, doing two big renovations would normally be out of the question for me. But since the rooms are attached, it felt like it would be a little more manageable. We’ll see how it goes. You may find me curled up in a corner in a full-blown panic attack. Haha!

My Blog Studio Mood Board

Craft Space

For the studio, I wanted it to be a cozy place my team can work and lounge, but also be an organized and functional place that I can craft and play on my time off. The DreamBox fits those needs perfectly because it will hold all my craft supplies but hide them away in a pretty armoire when not in use.

I plan on covering the front of all the bins with shades of black, gray, tan, and beige for a calm and uncluttered vibe. And that floral scrapbook paper will accent a few of the bins, along with some other fun DIY accents I will be making. (More on those soon!)

Team Workspace

Instead of having separate desks, the team will work at long communal tables. We actually started out working at a dining room table years ago, and it turns out, we really loved how it felt to sit together and work as a group. So we are ditching desks for Ikea Linmon tables. I already have those tables from my current craft room so it will be a free way to repurpose them. I love the dining tables in the Havenly and Modsy designs, but they just didn’t fit the room.

The lounge space will house a loveseat, a couple of armchairs, and some bookshelves to hold our office supplies, binder kits, and design materials. There will also be a line of bookshelves to hold our photo props and styling products, and to keep that space from adding a ton of visual clutter we will cover that area with curtains on a ceiling track.

Color Scheme

The walls will stay white, but Forest Edge from Behr (the same color in Noah’s room) will accent the door and a few walls. Later in the future when we remodel the kitchenette area, that green will show up there, too.

The main color scheme is black, white, ivory, cream, tan, gray, and pops of green. It will feel very natural, inviting, and warm, which is the perfect vibe for work and play. I’ll play with texture and metals, and my goal is to make the room feel more like a living room and less like an office.

      We certainly will keep you updated, so make sure you’ve joined our email list. It took us three years to finally be able to afford one, but we’re most excited that the craft area can fold away when not in use. We’ll get a post out to you as soon as we’re able to fill the box with our supplies.

Kids grow out of clothes SO quickly, and the ones that don’t fit often get left in the closet or drawers until we have time to deal with them.
To cut down on clutter, add a “too small” bin to their room. It saves you time and keeps their clothing that still fits tidy and easy to find. 🙌🏼

Decanting is great for items you buy in bulk to cut down on cost and packaging waste, as well as to keep some foods fresher for longer. But DON’T fall for the pretty organizing videos of every single thing moved into different jars.
I have seen some people decanting lotion, peanut butter, and even toothpaste, and I’m here to prove it’s a complete waste of your time and money. ✨What’s the weirdest decanting video you’ve ever seen?✨
