MAKING ROOMS
Sally Coulthard on creating inspiring spaces in Studio: Creative Spaces for Creative People
Sally Coulthard is very clear about why making physical room for the things you love is the key to creativity: “A studio isn’t just a building or a room, it’s an acknowledgement that what you’re doing is important enough to deserve its own space.” Not doing so is “a kind of self-sabotage”. Here are all kinds of inspiring studios, from the bright and breezy to the coolly uncluttered, to rooms which are green with plant life – and where printing, writing and upcycling take place. She explains how to make the most of what you have with storage ideas, lighting suggestions, screens and dividers, so that even a corner of a room, or a cupboard under the stairs can be a creative haven.
