Sewing Room Decor Ideas

Before you start decorating your sewing room, choose a specific theme. You can select the theme of your choice, be it a colorful one, a cozy farmhouse look or vintage decor. This will further help you decide on the wall paint color, furniture style and decor elements.

For a colorful theme, paint the walls in vibrant shades and use colorful baskets for storage. If you prefer a farmhouse look, install a barn door and use jute rugs for room decor. For a modern setup, opt for metallic accents and neutral colors across your decor items.

Your sewing room is home to a range of small items like beads, buttons, sequins and other decorative pieces. You can sort and store them in glass jars of various sizes. This will make it easier to find them when needed. You can further organize and display the jars on a shelf near your sewing table.

Floating shelves can maximize the vertical storage in your sewing room. Use heavy-duty shelving brackets and hardware to ensure it can support your tools and supplies. You can also use the floating shelves to display your handcrafted toys. The floating shelves also keep your essentials visible and within easy reach.

A rolling cart provides a portable storage solution for the sewing room. You can use the different shelves of a tiered rolling cart to store scissors, rulers, markers or fabric pieces. You can choose a pre-painted rolling cart or customize it with additional colors to match your room decor.

Install a mood board in your sewing room to display fabric swatches, color samples or other inspirational photos. It will help you visualize the overall design. You can make your own DIY mood board using a corkboard or hang a pre-fabricated magnetic board. If there is enough space left on your pegboard, you can utilize it as a mood board as well.

If your sewing room has a window or skylight, try to shift your sewing table as close to it as possible. Natural light will reduce eye strain and make sewing easier, helping you choose the right fabric and thread colors.

If you do not get enough natural light indoors, pendant lights can be a perfect solution​​. Install a pendant light right above your workstation or sewing machine to eliminate shadows. Opt for an adjustable pendant light to have full control over the lighting in your room​. 

Your fabric collection doesn’t need to be sealed shut and hidden in a corner. Fold the fabric neatly and store it in clear plastic bins. Place these bins on a rack near your sewing table. This will add more color to your sewing room decor and make it easier to locate the fabric you need. ​You can further sew the leftover fabric pieces ​​in different patterns and display them in your sewing room. 

A vintage console table can create a nostalgic atmosphere in your sewing room. Place rattan or jute baskets below the table to store large items. You can maximize the drawer space with the help of drawer organizers and keep the small items organized.

Make your sewing room feel complete by placing clothing racks in the room. Use matching hangers to hang the fabric and keep it wrinkle-free. Lay a rug or carpet below the rack to prevent any scratches on your floor.
