I finally have the room to put in a home studio so I can write, paint and find out what else I can create. I don't have a clue how I would go about setting this up though and want to make sure I do it with the best colors, furniture, etc so I can get maximum use out of it. Does anyone know where I can find this type of info? When I've done online searches, I just get back the names of different artists or names of studios. I'd like to do this as soon as possible, so any tips or resources you can provide would be really appreciated.
Thanks!

Since creating art is such an individual thing, no 2 artists, writers, crafters, etc. are the same, I don't think you will find anyone with a model that fits you exactly. Your studio has to be as unique as you are and be suited to what you want to do. Ask yourself " What do I want to do and what do I need to do it with?" Don't clutter up the room with a lot of stuff, it is stiffling. As for colors, what is your favorite color? Light colors are best because they give you more of a feeling of space. In my studio I have a wall of pegboard that I can hang paintings and drawings on that are partially finished. I also have a large corkboard that I can tack pictures of things that are inspirational to me on. Your studio has to be a place that you can dream and be inspired in. It kind of evolves as you grow as a creative artist. Good luck.

Log onto hgtv at www.hgtv.com. They have created home art studios many times on different shows and I'm sure you will find some episodes and ideas if you type home art studio into their search box. Episode MSO-512 of Mission Organization shows a fabulous home art studio that was made from an ugly,cluttered basement room.

you want to make sure that you don't have any acoustics in the room (natural re-verb). You can prevent this by buying acoustic treatment on amazon or somewhere that specialises in it. As for the actual theme of the studio, I wouldn't worry too much about it, but try and keep it rich and warm so you get a nice sound.
For example, if you have a brightly coloured room (white as the best example) it will have a 'cold' affect on your sound. if you want further inffo about what equipment to buy then check out this page
