Spring Cleaning Tips to Organise Your Creative Space 

How to organise your workspace to streamline your creative process

Whether you make bath bombs, soaps, or skincare products, having a tidy and efficient setup will help you work faster, reduce stress, and keep your supplies in top condition. Here’s how to get started.

Declutter and Sort Your Supplies 🛠️

Begin by going through all your ingredients, tools, and packaging materials. Check expiry dates on oils, butters, and fragrances, and dispose of anything that’s past its best. 

Organise your mica powders, pigments, and glitters by colour, and group similar items together so they’re easy to find when you need them.

Invest in Smart Storage 🪙

Clear jars, stackable containers, and labelled drawers can make a huge difference in keeping your workspace neat. 

Store frequently used ingredients within easy reach and keep less-used items tucked away to free up space.

Create a Dedicated Work Area 💪🏼

If possible, set up a designated crafting zone where you can mix, pour, and package your creations without interruption. 

A clean, clutter-free worktop will make your process smoother and more enjoyable. If space is limited, consider using foldable tables or storage trolleys that can be moved when needed.

Decant Larger Ingredients 🫙

Storing bulk items like bicarbonate of soda, citric acid, or oils in smaller, clearly labelled containers not only saves space but also helps maintain freshness and prevents spills. 

Using airtight jars or resealable bags can protect ingredients from moisture and contamination, while portioning out frequently used materials ensures quick and easy access during production. 

Refresh and Inspire 🌺

Once your space is clean and tidy, add a few personal touches to inspire creativity. A pinboard with design ideas, a small plant, or even a fresh scent diffuser can make your workspace feel inviting and motivating.
