Your Room, Your Crafts, Your Rules!

Why You Need a Craft Room — and How DKT Can Help

No matter your age or circumstances, having a crafting hobby is invaluable—and creating a dedicated space for it can make all the difference. Whether you're seeking a new pursuit in retirement, offering a creative outlet for your children, or just looking for something that brings you joy, a craft room is an excellent addition to any home.

Even if space is limited, you can cleverly combine a craft area with a home office or carve out a small nook just for you. At Davis Kitchen and Tile, we help design thoughtful, multi-functional spaces that support your lifestyle and hobbies—from custom cabinetry to specialized storage and creative workstations.

Need a Hobby to Start With? Try One of These:

🧶 Knitting & Embroidery

Knitting and embroidery are relaxing crafts that help reduce stress and cope with anxiety. They provide emotional support, serve as enjoyable social hobbies, and enable the creation of practical items like scarves and blankets.

DKT Tip: We can incorporate soft seating, built-in storage for yarn and tools, and great lighting—so you’re always ready to pick up where you left off.

🕯️ Candle Making

Candle making offers a warm glow and soothing scents, making it an enjoyable and easy craft. It allows for experimentation with various scents and shapes, perfect for those who love aromatherapy or sculpting.

DKT Tip: Ask us about heat-resistant work surfaces and smart storage solutions for jars, wax, and essential oils to keep your space both functional and beautiful.

✂️ Collage

Collage is a layered art form that uses materials like paper, photos, and fabric to create textured, often abstract pieces. It’s an accessible hobby that requires minimal supplies, encourages creativity, and can keep you engaged for hours.

DKT Tip: We can design easy-to-clean work areas and add drawers or cubbies for storing paper scraps, glue, and tools—keeping things organized and ready to use.

✒️ Calligraphy

This elegant and classic hobby blends creativity with mindfulness. Instead of buying mass-produced cards, you can create handwritten notes and art that feel personal and heartfelt.

DKT Tip: Let us help design a workstation with proper lighting, comfortable seating, and surface space that supports your craft and complements your home.

🎨 Painting

Painting offers endless possibilities beyond canvases, with tutorials now common for furniture, décor, and even walls. Starting with acrylics is a great idea—they dry quickly and are easy to work with.

DKT Tip: From paint-friendly countertops to vertical storage for brushes and canvases, we can build a space that invites mess and creativity without sacrificing style.

🌱 Gardening

If your goal is to spend more time outdoors or bring the outdoors in, gardening is a perfect choice. You don’t need a full backyard or English garden—just a few houseplants or a simple herb garden can be the perfect start.

DKT Tip: We can include built-in shelving for plants, potting areas, or even a sunlit corner in your craft room for greenery that inspires and soothes.

At Davis Kitchen and Tile, we believe your home should support every part of your life—including the creative ones. Whether you’re dreaming of a dedicated craft room or a clever corner that fuels your hobbies, we’re here to help design a space that works for you.
