Friday’s post sparked some interest amongst our readers so I thought it would be a nice idea to have a closer look at some sewing room decor inspiration.  Traditionally it’s an area full of chaos and mess- how on earth some people keep their sewing rooms so tidy I have no idea!  Perhaps it’s all down to having the right storage space, with everything organised and to hand.

This bookshelf is perfect for crafty people- the sturdy deep shelving means you can store larger, heavier books and the custom-made partitions allow you to design the layout to your personal needs.  The shelving needn’t just be for books as the image shows.  The drawers at the bottom would be great to store fabric.

The best part of having a dedicated sewing room is that you can make it all your own and don’t need to tidy things away at the end of the day.  Use one wall purely as an inspiration board to get those creative juices flowing!

If you’re in your sewing room often, it’s important to make the room bright, comfortable and accessible for your own well being.  No one works well in a poorly-lit, dull, uninspiring office.  Sewers need lots of natural light.

Always be on the lookout for small storage containers for your bits and bobs- you can find things in the most unexpected of places!  The container may not have been initially designed to store buttons and threads but it may do the job perfectly.

This cute little sewing room belongs to Tricia, who lives in San Fransisco.  Tricia is a fashion designer and artist and so it stands to reason that her decor style is an eclectic mix of modern, kitsch and handmade.  Since her teenage years, Tricia’s been an avid thift shopper, hence her ever-growing collection of interesting bits and bobs in her sewing room…

It may be small but everything is in order and to hand.  Ah, if only my sewing room was like this!!
