A lot of us run away from home and head towards local coffee shops in order to escape into the creative spaces in our minds. But what if you had this space at home? Having a convenient place to escape to in the comfort of your own home is something that not all of us get to enjoy. But if there ever comes a moment where you’re able to snag a space and make it your own, I say make sure you’ve done your homework. There are tons of resources that you can utilize in order to build your creative space, but in reality this is hard to do if you don’t already have the space in mind. When it comes to interior designing I feel like certain spaces will show you the way. A lot of our dwellings have certain characteristics that echo in the space from the decades before you were able to call them home, and others are bleak, dull, and beg for you to fill the space with life and character. It is true that there are no perfect recipes to the perfect creative space because we are all unique and inspired by a mother load of different things. There are a couple characteristics that pop out to me when I consider building a creative space for myself…
1. The space can be small. I don’t need too much space but of course would never turn that opportunity down,
2. Black and white with a pop color brought to the space by the use of objects like plants, books, and ornaments.
3. Storage and Shelving. With years of different projects and experiments I have accumulated tons of “STUFF”
4. A nice blend of new and old. New things make your space functional, and old things give your space a bit of originality.
5. Inspiration and motivation. I like to surround myself with pure positivity. This comes from displaying the work of others who influence me and the presence of the culture you pull ideas from.
Here are some spaces that you can pull inspiration from; we all need a little inspiration sometimes. Click the image to view and see source. Happy Designing!
