Your first step in setting up a home art studio is finding a space you can claim as your own. Maybe the space is a guest room that's mostly unused, a portion of your laundry room, a mudroom, a corner in your garage, or even a backyard shed that's just collecting junk.

Design a Basement Art Studio Add shelving or wall-mounted easels to save up floor space and proper lighting if the stairs are located in a basement. A small desk can also be added for producing any digital artwork on the computer. Just make sure you check for nearby outlets as you design your DIY art room!

The short and practical definition of an art studio is a place where the artist works and creates. But there are so many types that make it impossible to be restricted to this: that's why we will work with you on a geographically based list of places with their descriptions so it can inform and inspire other artists.
