Kids love to paint, color, and get into anything that leads to the artwork. With that said, you have likely picked up too many paintbrushes, crayons, and markers around your home too. There is a solution and it is affordable for you and will help keep your home organized and spacious.
First, you will need to find a dedicated space for your little one to enjoy. It can be a corner in the living room, a nook in the den, or anywhere else where they can head to and enjoy being creative.
Once you have found that spot, designate it as the art space for your children. It works and will help keep their items organized and in a safe place while ensuring they are out of your way.
Below, we will go over some ideas to create the perfect art space.
Choose an Art Table or Easel
If you have the room, a store-bought or DIY art table is an excellent choice, especially since you can add drawing materials and supplies to it. You should choose a table that your child can safely fit at without it being too small or too big.
This table can be placed in the corner to ensure you maximize the space around it and if you choose, you can decorate the wall and hang baskets that the desk faces, as an additional storage location so the child does not see it as a corner in the room.
If you do not have the space for an art table, you can choose an easel for your child. They have many foldable, space-saving options that would work wonders in your home. The easel can be two-sided as well and allow your child to color, paint, play with chalk, or even use dry erase markers.
Create a Chalk Space for the Room
Sometimes, space does not always permit an easel or art table and when this occurs you can think outside the box and create a space for your child to play with chalk. You may be wondering how right now, and the answer is simple – chalk paint.
All you need to do is paint an area of the wall you want with the chalk paint and once dried, your child can use it as a chalkboard. This will allow your child to remain creative while not taking up any space in your home.
Keep Art Supplies and Items Organized
Art supplies can be littered all over your home quickly and easily. Fortunately, you can save space and not run into these issues by making sure that there is a designated space for the art supplies.
For example, you can hang baskets that are for the chalk or for the pens and markers. By doing it this way, you will maximize the space you have in your home.
Saving Space in Your Home is Easy
It is easy to save space in your home and with the ideas above, your children can continue to paint and be creative without cluttering the home around you. When all else fails, you can also take the artwork outdoors and have a blast out in the sun.
