It looks likely I will need to move from my small craft room into a shared space. Any thoughts or tips on how to do this successfully or any great tips? I'm Ok with the move as I do feel a little isolated when l work, but I need ideas on best use of space etc. 😳😊

Set your space up in a way that still makes you want to use it and productive when you are there.
I know my (tiny, shared) space is not as aesthetically pleasing as if it was a large room dedicated to just crafting, but I don't have room to spread out and make it Instagram pretty.
I put my tools that I use within reach, so i don't have to dig them out.
I also am okay with having a smaller stash. The majority of my space is occupied with finished and in progress albums.

My scrapbook space is smaller.
Using rolling carts allows me to easily move things around as needed.
For instance, if I am searching through looking for paper, I move the paper cart to my work space table, if I am looking for stickers or embellishments then I move that cart over. I have a storage closet where the carts reside.
I also have a couple shorter rolling boxes that fit underneath my table.
Wall shelves or a vertical cube unit takes up less floorspace.

Love the idea of multiple carts stored elsewhere. I currently have one but could definitely use it more efficiently and add another one for sure. Thanks 👍 |

I am in a small space. If I can’t get to something easily, or have to move stuff to get to it, I’m not going to use it. The best thing I did was mount my thin dies on magnetic sheets on the side of my Kallax, within reach of where I’m sitting. I used to have to get up and flip thru fridge bins. Now I just glance over and pick what I need.
Also, I purged, a lot. Everything I got rid of, I was not using. I no longer have the luxury of keeping things because I “might” use it. It has been freeing to get rid of stuff I know I’ve been hanging into because I feel like I have to get my money out it. Either I’ve used as much of it as I want and I’m over it or I was saving it for that mythical perfect layout and no longer love it. Either way, it’s gone, along with feeling if it weighing me down.

Make sure your storage goes to the ceiling.
