Arts and crafts projects may be balm for the soul – but they deliver a roundhouse kick to my need for order every time. The solution? Wheels.
Like most people, I don’t have a studio at my disposal, so I’m constantly lugging all the stuff from room to room, using my Tetris skills to stash everything away into the already cluttered office cupboard. I’ve had enough. This situation calls for a creative solution. One that provides storage space for equipment while being flexibly moved from A to B.
I present: my mobile studio
I’ve incorporated a bit of extra storage space in the form of baskets, boxes or open all-purpose crates underneath. With these, I’m able to separate and bundle up my various paints, materials and utensils. When necessary, I just take them out in order to rummage around for whatever I’m looking for.
With the help of my wheeled trolley, I’ve made my studio – and my chaos – mobile. I steer it from one end of the apartment to the other, assemble and disassemble my equipment within a few seconds, and with that, have everything I need to hand.
Multi-tier trolleys are just one way to conveniently store your hobby stuff: Have you got another set-up? Share your idea in the comments!

When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
