School is Opening Soon...Prepare a Homework Space for Your Children

School will be starting soon! Set your kids up for year-long success by preparing a homework and study space for them. Get your home ready for learning with these tips.

Choose a Space

If your child is easily distracted, you know they need someplace quiet to focus on their homework. Choose a space away from all the noise and action taking place in the kitchen or family room. A desk in their bedroom will give them the quiet workspace they need so they can focus without distraction.

If your child thrives in social settings, you might want to have a space at the kitchen island or dining room table where your child can do their homework and still be part of the action.

Organize Your Space

Think organization! Use bookshelves and bins keep your kids’ books and supplies easily accessible.

Make it Fun

Your kids are more likely to want to spend time in their study area if they help create it. Have them help pick out fun colors if you’re painting walls or just let them choose the artwork that will decorate the walls. Let them make the space their own!

Good Lighting

Having the proper lighting is essential for your child to work by. A colorful light fixture might be another way to add fun to their study area.  

No matter what space you choose or style you go with, make sure to include your kids in the design process.
