Dreamy Home Art Studio Ideas

Greenery in the Art Studio

I love the idea of having plants in the studio space: It makes the ambiance so much more dreamy and just creates a positive space for one’s creative process. Here are some art studios with plants set up.
I like how the Pothos plant goes through the rafters in the ceiling. This is from the artsy home of Irene & Peter in Australia.

Incorporating nature (that includes your furry friend!) is a great way to create a positive place for creating. This image is from the blog To Go Into the World.
Lots of Natural Light!

Lighting is one of the most important parts of your art studio, so make sure you have a large window to provide lots of natural light. Here are some beautiful art studios with lots of fresh, bright light for optimal painting, drawing, and creating.
Canvas Storage
Canvases can get very tricky to organize: I know when I started painting, I quickly built up quite a collection of canvases and had no idea how to store them. Thus, they quickly just filled up the art studio room and made quite a mess.
Below are some amazing ideas for easy canvas storage. I now use a shelving system with strings to separate the different each different piece like the example below.

Image from Matthew Lee. See his post on how he created this DIY canvas storage here.

Here is another example of a shelving system from Galleri Magnus Karlsson’s website using cardboard instead to separate each painting

I especially like this idea of using shelves to showcase favorite inspirational pieces in the art studio.
You have the freedom to change things up without repeatedly damaging the walls. This studio space example is fromΒ Prudence Flint.Β
Here are some more gorgeous art studio spaces for all your viewing needs.

And no matter where you set up your art studio – Have fun and let go! Create that beautiful mess everywhere around you!

I hope you enjoyed this little inspirational post for your art studio and was able to find something to take back with you to your own creative space.
We may not all have access to grand spaces to set up a studio at first, but even just creating a small nook in the corner that provides a homey, safe atmosphere for creating can do wonders to one’s creative process.
