8. Place down a large rug

Placing down a rug in your art space not only adds warmth and comfort, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere but also can be a safeguard to protecting your space.

“To safeguard my security deposit in a rented space, I always lay down a large rug in my creative area,” shares Amy Reader, Fiber & Installation Artist. “I enjoy the freedom of finding unique, large rugs through platforms like Facebook Marketplace or Goodwill, knowing that I won't fret over them getting dirty during my creative process. I strive to find the largest rug that can fit in my space, and I delight in selecting colors that complement my aesthetic and patterns that can easily conceal paint spills.”
