Seeing Double
This study area is equipped with two full-functioning workspaces complete with computers and filing cabinets. Custom-made corkboards and hanging rails provide additional organization. Design: Shane Inman
Seeing Red
Red is a stimulant, so it's the perfect color for a homework and craft station. Ready-made cabinets in a glossy red lacquer finish from a big box retailer made a spot to work on school assignments or get creative with crafts. Design: Brian Patrick Flynn
Simple Desk
This bedroom includes plenty of space for relaxing as well as a small workspace with a simple desk and comfy chair. Design: Joseph Cortes
Neutral Alcove
Adding color or wallpaper to the ceiling -- the so-called fifth wall -- is a great way to add detail to a space. The neutral walls in this craft room create enough of a break between the pattern of the ceiling wallpaper and graphic flooring for the design to feel completely unified.

Feminine Space
Cabinet surfaces are painted white and distressed in this feminine office space. The windowsills are used as extra seating and storage areas. Design: Luis Caicedo
Creative & Crafty
This craft room brings out the creative kid in all of us. Plenty of storage and an energetic color scheme provide the perfect space for projects of all sizes. Use resilient materials like laminate countertops and a graphic vinyl rug for easy cleanup. Design: Jennifer Reiner
Personalized Pinboard
A pinboard fills the wall in this niche, offering a place for interchangeable memos and artwork. A pair of sconce lights provide the perfect task lighting for the desk area without using any precious counter space. Design: TerraCotta Properties
