    In this post, I wanted to share some of the BEST ideas for a craft room using Ikea craft room furniture. This is a roundup from some of my favorite bloggers that feature their spaces that you can get inspiration from.

    If you have ever daydreamed of having a creative space that is not only beautiful, but complete with your crafting supplies organized in an affordable way, I hope that you'll take away some amazing ideas from some of these craft spaces that were made over.

    These spaces were decorated with Ikea furniture which includes table tops, cabinets, and storage.

    Ikea has so many different furniture options to make a crafting space functional. I know that for me to be most effective and efficient during crafting, my space needs to be uncluttered, yet still have all of my crafting supplies, materials, and tools in their spaces.

    After about a decade in my own home, I've been able to accumulate a few pieces from Ikea here and there.
