Your Craft Space, Your Rules

Every crafter has their own style and artistic personality. Your craft space should work in tandem with your creative process and your unique approach to creating.

Best Craft Organizer’s Craft Island and Storage Cabinets are two powerful and complementary storage options that are customizable to suit your needs.

Let’s dive into the details of these two different craft room staples and discover what your craft space is missing. 

Meet the Craft Island

The Craft Island is designed to be the center of your craft space. It’s the perfect blend of a large worksurface and ample storage space.

Why crafters love it:

  • Ideal for solo projects or crafting with a friend
  • Works best in open layouts, shared workspaces, and active work zones
  • Clean white appearance and concealed storage = perfect for shared spaces like home offices, playrooms, or open basements
  • Mobile design: rolling casters make it easy to move or reconfigure
  • Great as a mobile workstation for prepping crafts, hosting creative gatherings, or filming crafty content

  • Customizable width, height, legs/casters, and insert options
  • Flexible enough to fit any space—walls, closets, corners, or shared rooms
  • Choose your cabinet’s interior with Drawers, Paper Shelves, or Adjustable Shelves

What to Consider Before You Buy

Before you decide which craft storage furniture pieces are right for you, ask yourself:

    • What is the size and shape of your space?
    • How do you picture your creative process unfolding?

    If you’re a messy crafter: make space to spread out.
    If you like things tidy: map out zones for each step of your process.

    Also consider:

    • Which tools and supplies do you need quick access to?
    • Which items do you use most often?

    Tip: You don’t have to buy everything at once. Build your space piece by piece, starting with what fits your budget today. Try different combinations—drawers, shelves, inserts—and adjust as you go. There are no wrong choices!
