Artist’s studio room
Notes:
- Attic spaces are perfect places where hobbyists can express their talents – especially for artists. You can setup your art studio room in the attic without the worry of disturbances or tampering of equipment from other household members. You simply secure your place with private access.
- The secured access is not to prevent family member from viewing your work – it’s just to prevent them (especially children) from getting into the studio to “mess with” things they shouldn’t touch. The attic is a better secure area than a bonus or other room.
- A place where you can setup your easel, store your paints, layout the equipment and keep it as is with the confidence that nothing will disturbed or tampered with. A room where you have the privacy to create your art that will eventually be displayed in your home or better yet, in some public gallery.

So what do you need in the attic to make this hobby room work: [ scroll back up ]

Photographer’s room – not longer a dark room
Notes:
- So your hobby is photography. In the old days, the photography room would be in the basement where it was totally dark for negative film processing. But those days are gone now. Your photography room can be as sunny as possible for best color processing working with digital photos and photo software.
- Your attic is the perfect spot – as explained above. You don’t need much room if your current attic space is limited. You simply need a desk area for the computer, photo printer, and perhaps room for a backdrop for taking portraits. All of your work and printing is managed by a desktop computer and printer.
-
Plus some other equipment as illustrated above: [ scroll back up ]
- large working desk for photo processing and printing
- cutting board for trimming off excess
- desktop computer with large monitor for digital photo process, touch-up and printing
- laser photo printer for sharp color prints
- photo software that includes some of the industry’s best technology for photo processing.

Playing music (and practicing)
Notes:
- So music is your gig – then it’s up to the attic to practice and produce. The attic can become your personal space where you can line the attic walls with sound-proof acoustic panels for best sound and to keep your music from bothering the family – and the neighbors next door.
- Another advantage of having a dedicated “attic” music room is for the kids. Then need to practice their music – reluctantly of course. Setup the area where they can practice comfortably without distractions. Install a practice clock and log to keep them focused. And with the acoustic walls already in-place, the practice sounds coming from the attic won’t bother other family members down stairs.

Just for crafts and craft making
Notes:
- Those who love to craft have all kinds of small items that can get inadvertently disturbed or misplaced from other household members. So craft hobbyists – whether they work with paper, cloth, or clay – need a craft studio area where they can isolate and protect their work.
- Again, the attic is the perfect spot. You can limit access by locking the attic door to prevent household members from tampering with your crafts. And the attic gives you the isolation you need to work your crafts to desired perfection – perhaps by adding some audio speakers to play your favorite music.
- Who knows, your crafts can bring in a little extra money by marketing your creative work online.
