As the school year begins again in Australia, teachers are preparing for the year ahead—thinking about ways to enhance their classrooms and improve organisation. One area that often needs attention is craft storage.
The Problem with Traditional Craft Storage
Traditional classroom storage solutions, like drawers and tubs, present several challenges:
- Limited visibility – Supplies are hidden away, making it difficult to see what’s available.
- Messy access – Drawers and tubs get cluttered over time, making it hard to keep things organised.
- Wasted time – Teachers and students spend too much time searching for materials.
- Inefficient use of space – Large storage units take up valuable classroom space, and stacked tubs can be hard to manage.
A Craft Wall offers a smarter alternative by keeping materials visible, organised, and easily accessible.
What is a Craft Wall?
A Craft Wall is a wall-mounted storage system that uses bins, hooks, and shelves to organise craft materials efficiently. Instead of stacking tubs or cramming supplies into drawers, everything is displayed neatly on the wall—ready for instant access.
This setup is not only practical but also encourages creativity. When kids can see their materials, they’re more likely to use them, experiment, and stay engaged in activities.
The Benefits of a Craft Wall
Switching to a Craft Wall can transform how craft supplies are stored and accessed. Here’s why it’s a great idea:
Easy Access & Better Organisation
With a Craft Wall, every item has its place. Whether it’s paintbrushes, glue sticks, coloured paper, or beads, everything is visible and within reach. This reduces the time spent searching for supplies and minimises classroom disruptions.
Saves Space
A traditional chest of drawers or a large shelving unit can take up a significant amount of space. By mounting storage on the wall, you free up valuable floor space, creating a more open and organised environment.
Reduces Clutter – Craft Storage
A well-organised Craft Wall eliminates the need for stacked tubs and messy drawers. Instead, items are stored in designated bins, making it easy for students to grab what they need and put it back when they’re done.
Encourages Independence
Students can quickly identify and retrieve materials themselves, fostering independence and responsibility in keeping their workspace tidy.
Customisable & Expandable
StoreWALL offers a wide range of bin sizes, shapes, and colours, allowing you to design a storage system that suits your specific needs. Our bin options include:
✔ Slot Bins, Cube Bins, and Large Bins in various sizes

Craft Storage – Not Just for Classrooms!
While a Craft Wall is a fantastic solution for schools, it’s just as useful for:
- Garages – Perfect for storing tools, screws, and DIY supplies.
- Home Craft Studios – Ideal for artists, scrapbookers, and hobbyists.
- Workshops – Keeps small parts, accessories, and materials neatly arranged.
No matter where you install it, a Craft Wall provides a clean, organised, and accessible storage solution.
