Inside The Mood Room: the Making of a creative space
It all begins with an idea.
Layer Rugs for Warmth & Texture
Concrete floors can feel cold and unwelcoming, but rugs instantly add warmth, dimension, and personality. I have always had a thing for rugs so I was very excited to see how the rugs I chose would go together. I started with a large rug I loved and layered smaller, geometric patterned rugs with similar colors for depth and visual interest.
Create Functional Zones
Instead of following a “traditional” studio layout I asked myself what I wanted to accomplish in the space. I created zones that housed my needs and enhanced my creative flow. I do not have a typical easle because I don’t work well on one. My Cricut cart rolls wherever I need it, my work table is on wheels, and storage shelves double as décor. This setup makes it easy to switch between painting, Cricut projects, and content creation.

Infuse Personality in the Details
Your studio should reflect YOU. I added framed prints, personal trinkets, and styled shelves to make the space feel inspiring. A gallery wall mixes my own artwork with favorite finds, giving me a mood-boost every time I walk in.

Closing Thoughts
A creative studio isn’t just about organization; it’s about creating a space that fuels your creativity. Forget the rules—design a space that feels like home, inspires you to create, and evolves with your passions.

Inside The Mood Room: The Making of a Creative Space
When I was planning my art studio layout, a place I had dreamed of having for years, I wanted to have a layout that fueled creativity and housed my colllection of ever growing supplies (
no pressure there) I was faced with a few challenges. How do I transform the large, open, industrial studio with concrete floors, exposed ceilings, and plenty of square footage—into a multi functional creative hub? I wanted to make it cozy and functional without losing its raw character. This is how I designed a space that is warm, personal, and full of personality.
Start With a Blank Canvas
When I first walked into this studio, I was intimidated by the size and the concrete floors, but I knew with the right layout it could be my dream studio. I embraced the exposed ceilings and open feel, and began layering warmth through furniture, rugs, and lighting.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
