So you’ve decided to devote some of your home’s space to an art space for coloring, drawing, or storyboarding your new Star Trek fiction series. No matter your medium, the art space you create should reflect your personality and the way you create. If you’re ready to hang decor, check out these Star Trek-themed choices!
Illuminated Star Trek sculptures
“OoooWAAAAAUHWWW!” —That freaky, color-shifting woman from Memory Alpha
Most illuminated statues don’t provide you with bright light for close-up work, but they do offer a pop of color. Some glow in a range of colors and boost the calmness you feel, no matter if you’re coloring in a Star Trek coloring book or writing an Enterprise fiction story. As you pick out the main lighting source for your space, choose a flexible neck style so you can position it in any way you like.
Wrapped canvas art
“These walls are too bright!” —Sarek of Vulcan
If you chose a white, yellow, or lavender color for your art space, then decorating it with wrapped canvas Star Trek art can help soften more intense colors. These canvases are usually less expensive than glass-framed prints and much easier to move. Hanging them in groups over your desk offers you instant inspiration the moment you look up! You can find these at almost any decor store.
Let’s talk storage
“Storage compartments-storage compartments?” —Captain Kirk
My creative space lives diagonally from my work space (my mom’s beloved rolltop desk), so I can switch between them with ease. If you’re working in a space that’s tighter than a storage compartment full of Tribbles, stackable bins save space.
When it comes to pens, pencils, and other drawing/writing instruments (otherwise known as You already have enough, Kris), Multi-drawer bins, foldable mobile storage, and numbered storage, which the Sorters out there usually enjoy (it’s me, I’m the sorters out there) are only a few of the many options available. I prefer stackable storage for my stickers and multi-bins for my drawing/coloring pens and markers.
