3 Simple Studio Essentials I Actually Use
If you use acrylic or oil paint, you probably know how quickly those tubes can take over your studio. Toss them in a drawer and you have to dig around to find the color you need.
I wanted a paint storage solution that would keep my tubes visible and easy to grab. And as it turns out, one of my favorite art studio organization ideas isn’t actually an art supply at all.
Why I love These
- Fold for easy storage
- Use several together to hold large canvases
- Lightweight enough to move, heavy enough not to easily fall over
- Perfect for small studios that occasionally need more workspace
I regularly need an extra surface while I’m working, but I absolutely do not want another permanent table taking up space in my studio.
I LOVE these for holding drying canvases, especially if I have multitple paintings I just varnished!
Why I love These
- I can see my colors at a glance
- Keeps colors organized
- The tubes are easy to grab and put back
- It keeps a LOT of paint in a surprisingly small area
- I’m making use of wall space that otherwise wasn’t doing much
I mounted the bars on the wall and hung my tubes of paint and now I can see my colors instead of digging through a drawer or container every time I need something. It’s easy to see what I’m running low on which has made my life so much easier!
I recommend the double towel bar style so you can hang two rows of paint per towel bar. This set comes in a two pack and is really sturdy!
Why I love These
- Each Hook can hold up to 3 tubes of paint
- Slide easily on the towel bar
- Has a lock so they don’t lift off the bar
Locking S hooks snap right onto the towel bar and have a little lock so that they don’t fall off every time you pull off a tube of paint. Don’t get the ones without the lock or you will be constantly picking up s hooks from the floor!
Why I love These
- These can clip onto oil paint or others that don’t have holes on the tube
- Can hold the weight of the paint
- Clip can hang on the S Hooks
What if you have paint that doesn’t already have a hole on the tube for hanging? These binder clips will come to your rescue! They clip right onto the end of the paint and then you can easily hang that to your s Hooks! Such a simple solution to an annoying problem!
