How to Choose an Art Studio Space

Video Transcript

MATT CAIL: Hello. I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you today how to organize and set up and tame your own art studio. The next question to ask yourself is what type of space do you have for your art studio? I've seen art studios in a small space as a five by five foot and also seen them as large as basically having your own little chamber in your personal castle. It varies. But in whatever space you have, kinda take a walk around, see what type of space you have. The more ninety degree corners you have, the better. More furniture is going to be able to snugly fit in those corners. Even if you don't have a lot of space, you're going to be able to get a lot of items around. If you have lots of forty-five degree angles, it's going to be--you're going to be harder pressed to get a lot of furniture items in there. But definitely, take a second and kinda walk around. Usually, you don't want to block out a lot of light in your windows, so you don't want to like be framing them up with canvasses like I've done 'cause you're going to want to have like a lot of natural light. That will be great to be able to have in your art studio space. In addition to that, you also just have to kinda consider being able to move. Now, I know this can be challenging if you're in a very, very small space, but not being able to move and being able to always--falling over on things is going to stifle your creativity. So, if you basically have to make a very hard decision between three versus four pieces of nice art furniture, when in doubt, go a little bit less to make sure you do not interrupt the flow of your space.
