An artist's daughter <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/home-tours/photos/anna-church-toronto-artist-124-year-old-house-1915086/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">lives here</a>, can you tell? There are all the essentials a six-year-old gal needs for an afternoon attacking a painting — or (yawn) homework. The pegboard from The Home Depot has rose-gold wire baskets to stow stuff. A tiny straw basket and little drawers hold markers and desk accessories. The petite desk and chairs are vintage with open shelves to hide a mess. And when crafting is over? Time to chill against the stylish pillows.Kids' Rooms10 Kids' Craft Rooms Packed With Colourful Design InspirationSweet Spot

Craft rooms are all about flexing one's creativity – so make the space's overall aesthetic your first project! We love how Vancouver-based designer Margot Keate West covered the ceiling in playful dotted wallpaper to bring the space to life. The whimsical white pendant light and woven baskets help draw the eye upward. <a href="http://www.hgtv.ca/home-tours/photos/spanish-banks-beach-house-1918434/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Tour the entire BC beach house here.</a>Kids' Rooms10 Kids' Craft Rooms Packed With Colourful Design InspirationPretty in Pink

We absolutely love this art room, curated by Elsie Larson of <a href="https://abeautifulmess.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><em>A Beautiful Mess</em></a>.
