How to organize art supplies in the storage box?
The MEEDEN 10-Drawer Artist Supply Storage Box is a great way to keep all your art supplies organized and easily accessible. Here are some tips for maximizing the storage potential:
Categorize supplies
Group together similar types of supplies in each drawer:
- Pencils, pens, markers
- Paints and palettes
- Brushes and painting tools
- Erasers, sharpeners, blades
Use dividers
Add removable dividers in the larger drawers to create compartments for smaller items like:
- Pencil leads
- Eraser caps
- Nibs
Maximize vertical space
Use the height of the drawers by storing taller items like paint bottles vertically.
Clear clutter
If any drawers start to get cluttered, purge unused or duplicate supplies. Having an organized storage system makes it easier to see what needs to be refilled or replaced.
With some planning, the MEEDEN supply box can neatly accommodate all types of art media and tools. The time spent organizing will pay off in the long run by providing quick access to supplies when inspiration strikes!
How to maximize space in the drawers?
The 10 drawers in the MEEDEN supply box provide plenty of storage, but a bit of strategy will help optimize the space:
Use drawer organizers
Add removable compartments or trays to categorize small supplies:
- Pencil/brush organizers in shallow drawers
- Small parts bins in deeper drawers
Go vertical
Stand tall supplies like bottles vertically to utilize drawer height:
| Supply | Storage Method |
|---|---|
| Paint jars | Place on side |
| Paint brushes | Handle facing up |
| Markers | Cap end facing up |
Organize by frequency of use
Keep your most used supplies in the top drawers for easy access:
- Top drawers: pencils, erasers, general use items
- Bottom drawers: specialty tools used less often
Remove excess packaging
Discard original packaging to fit more loose supplies in each drawer.
A bit of planning goes a long way in fitting all your art tools neatly into the available space. Having an organized system means spending more time creating and less time searching!
