Choosing a studio space is a rite of passage, and you might think going small will keep you disciplined. Give yourself room to grow.

You want a place where both your work and your client list can grow.

Admitting you need a studio isn’t defeat—it’s a promotion. Go ahead, find that perfect studio space. Because your home, your family, and your sanity will thank you.

A little upfront research can save you from a world of fines, forced relocations, or, worst of all, having to explain to your clients why your studio is suddenly “closed for renovations” indefinitely.
