We all dream of having a dedicated room to do things that inspire us. Whether it is a space for art and crafts, a space for music instruments, a mini personal library, or a nook for our collections, it's fantastic to have a sanctuary of our own. While not everyone has the luxury of having a separate hobby room, simple tweaks to your own bedroom can help you achieve a space that combines your inspirations with a restful retreat.
If you're planning to transform your bedroom into a creative space, here are a few gorgeous hobby-filled bedroom design ideas in Singapore to inspire yours.
Art Room
Painting, drawing, digital art, paper mache, or sculpting—these art forms require enough room to be done, especially traditional art, where you need a dedicated area for your supplies. To enjoy your creative passion, you will need a table that is spacious enough and an efficient organisational system to get over digging through your whole room to find brushes. You may instal open shelves if you want your supplies to be accessible and work as a part of your room's design, or choose a closed drawer cabinet to secure your items without visually overwhelming the room.
Music Space
Creating a music corner requires more space in your room to hold instruments and recording equipment. One thing to prioritise when building a home studio is soundproofing. You'll also need spacious and sturdy shelves or surfaces for your music equipment. Don't forget about the cables. Don’t be afraid to add more personality to your room by painting the walls and furnishing it with stuff you love!
Writing Corner
Some might think it's easy to write in any corner, any place where creativity kicks in but having a dedicated space to organise your thoughts makes a big difference. Convert a portion of your room into a dedicated writing space and surround it with things that inspire you. Set up a study table and chair in an area with less foot traffic to minimise distractions. Invite ample natural light in the morning and set up a conducive lamp working at night. Hang a pegboard or corkboard to contain your notes in one organised space.
Children's Playroom
Building a play and craft room for kids goes beyond ensuring it looks fun and inspiring. It should also be cosy and safe. When furnishing a playroom, make sure to lean more on curvy furniture and provide ample storage. Of course, don't forget to be more imaginative to support your children's creative development. It's also a good idea to set up a system where they can learn to do things on their own so they feel involved and trusted. Position a bookshelf with labelled boxes and baskets to keep all toys and art supplies in one place. Teach your kids where to get and return things to help them learn while enjoying their playtime.
A Modern Reading Corner
Love books? Set up a reading nook in your home and dive into your favourite activity without distractions. Place an office display bookshelf that is spacious enough for your book collection and a cosy seat, whether a plush armchair, a recliner, a two-seater sofa, or a pouf. Have enough room? Include a coffee table or a side table for snacks and knick-knacks.
Workout Corner
Whether you have a yoga mat, a ball, or small exercise equipment, you need ample space to move when working out comfortably. When setting up a mini workout room in your home, ensure proper ventilation to make it conducive and cardio-ready. Place a storage unit to keep your gears, towels, and essentials secured in one place. Install ample lighting for a brighter space to keep you motivated to move.
Plants and Potting
Not everyone has enough outdoor space to express their green thumb. Good thing we can take care of some indoor plants within our homes. If you are a plant parent, invest in a spacious and sturdy surface to work on, like a wooden table, which can also complement the organic look of your space. Invite lots of natural light into your garden room by using minimal window treatments like a sheer curtain. Make sure to leave enough room to accommodate your growing plant collection. Use a closed storage box to safely store your gardening tools.
Gaming Station
Your gaming station can be inside your bedroom or your living room. Wherever it is situated, make sure to provide enough seats for everyone. A cosy couch or a sectional offers ample space to move around when playing. For board games and consoles, a coffee table with built-in storage or a TV console with shelves and drawers are great choices to contain everything in a single space.
Entertainment Space
If you love binge-watching like we do, a large TV or a projector will be the centre of your entertainment room. A sofa that can help you stay comfortable for hours is also important. If you're a fan of midnight movie dates, you can go for a sofa bed to provide you with more space to stretch.
For physical media collectors, it's nice to keep an accessible display unit to store and showcase your collections creatively.
Pop and Anime
Walls and shelves are mostly utilised when collecting albums, manga books, and other merchandise related to your favourite groups and anime series. Whether you are an avid PC collector or love creating your own themed designs, you will need a spacious bookshelf and ample tabletop to work on. For smaller collectors, floating shelves are great starters. But if you are aiming for a larger scale, it's good to invest in your future storage and display needs. But remember, it all boils down to your preference and lifestyle.
Stationery
Another hobby that we love but that requires lots of storage is stationery collecting and journaling. Pour out your thoughts and creativity by setting up a spacious desk and providing storage in a strategic corner. By turning this hobby into a mini-business, you can turn a simple corner into a prettier and more organised packing area. A bookcase, pull-out cabinets, baskets and trays, and many labelled storage boxes can complete an effective setup. Remember, when organising, it's vital to make everything accessible.
