Small Artist Studio – how to set up a simple home studio for artists

Hi everyone!

I am so happy yo be able to write about this, I love interior design and I love finding new ways to set up my studio.

Sometimes the reality is: we are starting as an illustrators or we can’t spend a lot of money to our space. That is why I wanted to write this blog post and sharing with you a few essentials on a budget

1. Lamp: When I was hunting for a lamp for my studio, I learned that sometimes it’s better a functional lamp than an aesthetic one.

2. Cart: I love it, because I don’t have my own studio space, I need to be efficient with my space, and sometimes a cart it’s a good option specially if you need to grab your art material often.

3. Wet Palette: This was a life changing for me, before I was using my own technique hahah, a simple container and tissue paper. The switch to the Masterson palette it’s been perfect.

If you would like to learn more about how to keep your paints wet, I made a post about it. Here.

4. Desk: When you are staring is crucial to get a desk you can spread out and feel comfortable, in the market you can find standing desk, L desk, small desk and even art desk. My recommendation for you it’s going first to Facebook Market or offer up before you go and buy one brand new, a lot of people are selling really pretty desks in an incredible price point.

I wanted to thrift something up, but when I was looking they weren’t selling a large desk at the moment so my go to was world market instead.

5. Chair: I bought this chair in the Facebook marketplace, if you are looking for something ergonomic and pretty this is a good option. I spend hours sitting in my chair and It’s really comfortable.

Thanks for reading!
