Installing some simple drawer dividers or using a cutlery organiser is a great way to take your storage space to the next level.

2. Paint tube rack

Keep all your paints where you can see them by mounting a paint tube rack on your wall.

3. Crates

If you’ve got bits-and-pieces floating around your studio (we all do), chuck them in a wooden crate. This art storage idea might seem basic, but you’ll be surprised at how much neater your space will be!

4. Jars

Re-use old jars or mugs as paint brush or stationery holders. This simple touch can make a world of difference to your desk.

5. Art box

A wooden box with trays and art products in it.

Keeping your supplies in an art box not only keeps your studio tidy, it also makes it easy to take them on the move.

6. Pharmacy cabinet

An old, wooden, pharmacy cabinet.

Old pharmacy cabinets give your studio a stylish vintage look while making it easy to keep your paints, pencils, pastels and other bits-and-pieces organised.

7. Box easel

Maximise your space with an easel that has a built-in storage box. It will keep your supplies close at hand while you work and give you more room in your studio.

8. Adjustable bookshelf

A modern, adjustable book shelf.

Bookshelves with adjustable shelves make a fantastic place to store artworks – big and small.

9. Studio tidy

Get your desk sorted with a studio tidy. These are great for everything from clay tools, to markers and paint brushes.

10. Wire storage drawers
