Extra office supplies definitely shouldn't live at your desk — but they don't have to call a traditional supply cabinet home either. Free up space by housing supplies in containers that match your surroundings. Label containers so everyone knows what's stored inside.

Have a large, open surface devoted to shipping. Designate a separate area as your shipping station. This space should include an open surface for wrapping everything up. The size of the surface needed will vary depending on your craft. But in general, the larger the surface the better. Devote as much space to shipping as you can. It can be frustrating to work in a cramped area.

It's a laundry room/office/workshop/wrapping room/craft area. A big, wide-open table is always a useful thing.

3. Task LightingTask lighting isn't just for kitchens — focused lights are paramount wherever any task is performed. This laundry and crafts room exemplifies this with task lighting in pendants at the island, undercabinet lighting for the countertops and a good amount of natural light from the window.

Use high-K halogens for a bluer light in task-intensive areas such as places for doing homework or crafts, or paying bills.
