    I have an art pantry on the back of the kitchen pantry and I have used IKEA’s plastic shoe holders for storing A4 paper printed and recycled. I also have their hanging containers and bags for brushes and paints. Then I have Bunnings screw and nail storage for collages cutouts. Perfect for apartment art work.

    Laura, thanks for showing us your art container haul from Ikea. I am a big fan of Ikea when it comes to storage for my art stuff, especially the trolleys. You can never have too many trolleys. They are wonderful. Wish you a lovely week ahead.

      They are so practical! I've been living with the wooden trolleys for a bit now and I have to say, I am so happy with them. I am glad that Richie talked me into getting them. I was a bit on the fence, but he knew they would work well. They hold so much stuff but they have a pretty small footprint and are fairly easy to maneuver. They are also sturdy when stationary. All in all, a win for sure!

    I love your studio set up and the vintage pieces add so much! Your new items will find their use and own space, I am certain! My current studio space is in the living room of my apartment and I am full up on what furniture will fit and allow easy access. I have had that Alex unit in the past and I wish I had room for one, now, but it will have to wait until I have my next space.

    Great to see … I have a whole run of the low IVAR units with a broader plywood top in my studio. Got to move it all today as they are installing heating! Might take it as an opportunity to review layout and organisation- I just use shoe boxes for paint tubes!

    • @LauraHornArt
      @LauraHornArt  7 місяців тому

      Hi Alice! Lovely to see you here. The IVAR shelves are great. Worth taking them down, though, to get your heating put in. Heating/cooling was one of the first things I put in my studio. I listened to your ART Juice episode recently, I think it was the studio secrets one. I had to laugh, as I am one of those artists who treats their studio like a home. It has to be cosy, plenty of plants, books, etc. Otherwise, I never go! Oh, and nothing wrong with shoe boxes-a great way to re-use them!

    I have those wooden trolleys also! They've been used for many things. Ikea is wonderful. But speaking of pegboards ... Bunnings hardware has the best item I have ever found for my workroom - it's the Pinnacle workbench 1.1 metre wide with a pegboard at the back with high metal storage tray running the length. They are beyond fabulous, especially for the price. I painted the work surface and pegboard on all of mine ivory. The metal frame is black powdercoated, very clean and minimalist. One is for my small woodwork and another two are joined together to create a film pod for stop motion animation, with the overhead storage tray providing track space for the cameras and lighting. Another has paint tubes on clips hanging on the pegboard. I love how they look. They are very adaptable benches and easily assembled. Just a thought for any creatives out there looking for work benches! Who would think of Bunnings for studio furniture! (I don't work for Bunnings and hope it's okay to mention them here). Thanks for your lovely videos. New subscriber here from Melbourne :)

You have such a good eye for what will work for you. You've given me some great ideas, so thank you for offering us this video. I do have a question for you, please. Can you tell me how you have the clips adhered to your wall for hanging pictures? I think that's a wonderful idea and would like to do that as well. Perhaps you simply use sticky foam pieces of some sort. Would you clarify that for me? Thanks so much, Laura.

      Thank you Pia for such a lovely comment. I just hang the art pieces using bulldog clops on little nails that are tapped into the wall.

      I find thrift/charity shops great for art furniture and storage as well. Though even those can be expensive these days. I still find that IKEA has many super affordable and practical items. They seem to cater to many different price points, which is great.
