Before you set about transforming your home, make sure to speak to the other members of your household first, particularly if you’re having to make some changes to the room – even if it’s something as simple as putting up shelving. After all, you wouldn’t like it if they did it without checking with you first.
Also, it’s important to be honest with yourself. If you’re short on space, look out for hacks that get around this problem. Foldable desks and pull-down projector screens are great equipment options that don’t hog space when not in use.
But if you do you have space to play with, you can dare to dream about the future.
For instance, if you plan to one day introduce your passions to the world, you might want to keep some of your space aside for a printer which you can use to create packaging and other marketing materials.
Or, if you’re considering streaming yourself in action, you can install a colourful backdrop or green screen to your room.
Finally, make the space one that makes you happy. If painting is your passion, decorate it with a wall mural.
Or, if you’ve been upcycling furniture, surround yourself with it. Not only is it a cheaper way to renovate, but seeing your handy work in the flesh will inspire you to keep doing your thing.
Once you’ve established your own ‘creator space’ at home, you’ll no doubt find it much easier and more fun to take your passions one step further.
