 Sorry I can only upload one photo at time with the app. And this is where I put my cards from the card exchanges. This was this past Valentine’s Day one. |

 Just enough space for me to get behind the craft desk to open the blinds and get at other things. |

My room is 11' x 10'9" with a small reach-in closet. It is my craft space and my work at home office as well as our guest room. Clearly, I neither work at home nor do much crafting when we have overnight guests.
I've got a pretty standard desk, maybe 2' x 4' with two small drawers. A large, quite old but flatscreen monitor lives on the desk to connect my work laptop to. One drawer has some basic paper crafting tools, like utility scissors, rulers, 3-hole punches, and mats (silicone craft, stencil, sticky) while the other has office/work stuff (and holds the mouse and mousepad over the weekend. There's a little Constainer Store stand meant for the bathroom next to the desk. It used to hold modems/router, etc, but DH moved that to the closet shelf, so now it has scrap paper, a bin of craft things to try, the tissues, etc.
Opposite the desk is a side table, sofa bed and the closet. The closet holds the computer stuff (as mentioned), guest bedding, and extra craft stuff. There is a hanging bar for guests as well.
The wall with the door to the room has the "artmoire" which we bought used and is probably supposed to be a bar. It's about 4' wide and 6' tall; it has a couple shelves above with glass doors, a drop-down shelf, (I thought this would be my art desk, but it's not really sturdy enough), an open shelf, and then a cabinet below. Most of my active crafting tools and supplies are in it. My entire paper stash is in the cabinet, so I'm pretty sure it's relatively small. Stamping tools, assembly tools, and die cutting accessories are each in totable organizers; there's a little stand/stool I use as almost a desk return to put those on when I'm using them. The drop-down shelf is just sturdy enough to use my Club Scrap guillotine trimmer and ScoreBoard on. This weekend, prepping for C&C, I did that and set the die cutter up on the desk. There's also a project cart next to the storage unit/artmoire and just outside the closet.
The fourth wall with no furniture has the window and a window-mounted bird feeder.

I've had rooms that size a few times. To me, the key is your storage. Maximize every inch. I have a 6' x 6' counter height table and 14 Jetmaxx cubes under there, plus one tower of plastic drawers where all my scraps are sorted. I think Michael's has them now under their Recollections brand. In the very center are some bins stacked that hold sewing patterns, batting, and a bin of laces and trims. There isn't an inch of space that isn't used, yet it all looks neat and tidy because it's behind drawers. I also have a 5 x 5 Kallax unit and 4 Billy bookshelves from Ikea with the extentions on top so they go all the way to the ceiling. All my paper crafting and sewing items are together and the organization keeps it tidy.
Two walls are completely wall to wall shelves, but in those small rooms I also had a wall of windows so it does work. One room did have an open staircase and I had to keep my fabric shelves in the basement. But that was good, as the sun would have faded the fabric. I'll need to dig up some photos for you.

If you are a Costco member, my clear bins with blue lids are a pack of six from there. Good price. I recently switched to them. Used old vinyl to label them all. And organized a bit better.

My room is larger than that, but the part I use for scrapbooking is probably about that size. I don’t like to face a wall so my desk is against the wall on a short side, facing a shelf unit with the TV. Running parallel behind my desk is a huge shelf system with lots of the Sterlite 3-drawer units in both sizes. And to the immediate right of my desk is a couple of IRIS 6-drawer units. Very practical and boring and super easy to get to everything, just spin in the chair and roll to what I need. I only have the one desktop, but that works for me because I clean up after each *whatever* I’m working on. Then the part of my room that does the really heavy lifting is my closet. The back wall is floor to ceiling deep shelving. I’ll try and take pictures in a little bit.
