As @psychonaut recently learned, too low humidity in the seedling stage can cause growth to stall before the roots are developed enough to compensate. Love the Aircare humidifier mentioned in the 1-person, 1-plant, 1-year thread. In a small space, it maintains the set humidity very precisely.

I always start my clones(mostly) or seeds(rarely) in a mini plastic greenhouse that are usually available at most nurseries, you always want to see the clear plastic walls misty but not forming droplets. When I transplant them into my main growing area, if the humidity is low, I will place open containers with water in the grow room with the plants and spray the walls(panda film) with a fine mist of water along with the plants each day just before the lights turn on.

I've never actually tried this for humidifying a grow area but it's theoretically sound: You could build a passive "shotgun" humidifier by drilling a bunch of 1/4" holes all over some kind of container and filling it with damp chunky perlite, placing it so that air can flow all around it, and misting it regularly. Would have to adjust the volume of perlite based on the area you're humidifying. I know that a few inches in the bottom of a rubbermaid tub keeps the rest of the tub up in the 90%RH range ;)
