Looking for an "all-in-one" portable storage solution for art supplies (A4 paper, acrylics, pastels, brushes)
Moin everyone!
I’m currently storing my art supplies across one large plastic bin and two smaller plastic bins with lids. It’s getting annoying to carry multiple boxes back and forth every time I want to paint, so I’m looking for an "all-in-one" storage solution that I can easily move to my table and put away when I'm done.
Here is what needs to fit inside:
- Loose tubes of acrylic paint
- Various brushes
- Oil pastels
- Small palettes
- A4 and A5 paper (needs to lie flat without bending!)
Requirements:
- Light-proof / Opaque: Needs to protect paper and materials from light.
- Portable: Easy to move onto the table and store away afterward.
- Organized: Ideally something with compartments, drawers, or expandable trays so small items don't get mixed up.
I actually ordered a wooden cantilever box from MEEDEN for around €50, but it arrived broken due to poor manufacturing quality and build issues. So I'm looking for a sturdy, reliable alternative.
My preferred budget is under €80, though I’d be willing to stretch up to €100 if I know the build quality is genuinely top-notch and durable.
Does anyone have recommendations for a larger, good-quality wooden box, an oversized craft organizer, or a specific system that works well for this kind of setup?
Thanks in advance for any tips!
