What crafter hasn’t purchased something – or perhaps a lot of “somethings” – that they already had, just because their craft area was spread across several different closets and/or under the bed in those ugly plastic storage totes?

Or is that just me?

Thankfully, you don’t have to set aside an entire room to have a place for your favorite crafts…sometimes a table and some way to store your materials is all you need.

Check out these beautiful craft tables that will inspire you to design your own special place for your creative endeavors.

3. Portable craft table

Small and portable…if you’re short on space this craft table can be pulled out for use, then tucked back in its corner until you’re ready to use it again. 

And the best part? It’s an IKEA hack so you’re not starting from scratch. Brilliant!

10. Repurposed Furniture

Finally, if you’d rather not go out and buy something new, why not repurpose something old?

This old dresser was turned into a workbench with storage for a garage, but the same concept could apply to storage and a workspace for your craft table.

You could add casters to make it easy to roll and can easily make the top shelf large enough for a space to pull up one or more seats, depending on your needs.
