Whether you are painting a portrait, throwing a pot or penning your first draft, a creative studio space will help you wrestle the muse and develop your art. After all, it can be tricky to feel inspired when you're working in your spare room, surrounded by drying laundry and a couple of kids' bikes. Of course, we are not all fortunate enough to have the square meterage, or the funds, for a dedicated studio space, but we can all dream.This round-up of beautiful studios are designed to inspire creativity.
Double height space
This lofty, purpose-built artist's studio has a mezzanine level. Perhaps this is somewhere to recline after a taxing morning's creativity? On the ground floor, reclaimed stable doors slide across to reveal spacious storage for materials, so the main studio space remains ordered.

Lots of natural light
Natural light is essential to an artist's studio, but this gorgeous garden room in Scotland goes one better. Its large doors open the space up, allowing the deck to become an extension of the studio, and providing somewhere to relax between bursts of creativity.

Under the eaves
Artists and writers are famed for creating and composing in their attics. If those spaces all looked like this one, that would certainly make sense. This lovely lofty space is beautifully simple and flooded with light. Even the most unartistic of us might feel inspired to pick up a pencil in here.
A sloping roofline
The sloping roofline of this artist's studio gives it a classic attic feel, but in fact it's on the ground floor, with access onto the beautiful garden, deck and pond beyond.
Room with a view
With views this good, it must be hard to get any painting done. But once you've spent an hour or so gazing out at them, the light from these huge windows will gently illuminate your next masterpiece.
A space for everything
This beautiful studio, with its tall windows, vintage lighting, beams and garden views has a soothing, timeless quality. Shelves provide storage for pots, paints and brushes, so the space feels ordered, leaving anyone using it free to focus on their art.
