Professional craft storage setup - assembling trolleys, mounting shelves, and positioning storage units so your children's craft supplies are organised and accessible. No more hunting for scissors.
Craft Chaos Under Control
Art supplies everywhere. Glitter in carpets, pens without lids, paper explosion. A proper craft storage system keeps everything organised and encourages children to tidy up after themselves.
💡 Pro tip: Put frequently used items at child height, messy items (glitter, paint) higher where adults control access.

🔧 DIY Tips
Setting up yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Drill
- Screwdriver
- Spirit level
- Stud finder
- Allen keys
📐 Good organisation
- Assemble units according to instructions
- Mount wall items into studs (not plasterboard alone)
- Position at child-accessible heights
- Anchor any tall freestanding units
- Check trolley castors roll freely
- Label storage areas
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Wall shelves into plasterboard only
- Units at adult height (kids can't reach)
- Not anchoring freestanding storage
- Castors that don't lock on trolleys
💡 Pro trick: Take photos of the organised system - when it inevitably gets messy, children (and adults) can see where everything should go.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
What craft storage do you set up?
Anything from IKEA RASKOG trolleys to wall-mounted pegboards, shelving units, drawer organisers - whatever system you've bought to get craft supplies under control.
Can you help plan the layout?
Absolutely - we can suggest what goes where based on how your children use their craft materials. Frequently used items at grab height, messy stuff higher up.
Do you anchor tall storage units?
Yes - any freestanding shelving or storage near children gets anchored to the wall. Non-negotiable for safety.
What about sorting the actual craft supplies?
We set up the storage system - the actual sorting and filling is usually something parents prefer to do themselves. Though we can help if you want!
