Get the kids’ room ready for school

Before the school year begins, children’s rooms can quickly fill up with schoolbooks, backpacks, gym bags, and craft supplies. With smart storage, everything has its place, making it easier to create room for learning, creativity, and relaxation.

Make room for homework and everyday school life

When school starts, a child’s room takes on new functions. It becomes a place for homework and studying while still providing space for play and hobbies.

Smart storage makes it easier to:

Organize school supplies
Prepare for the next school day
Create a quiet study space
Keep things tidy

Start with your child’s everyday life. By considering their daily routines and activities, it’s easier to create storage that actually works.

Frequently asked questions about back to school storage

How do you create a good homework corner?

Choose a quiet place with good lighting and as few distractions as possible. A clear space for homework helps the child to switch to study time.

How do you store your backpack and gym bag?

Use hooks or hanging storage close to the door, and the bags are easy to take with you when it’s time to walk.

How do you create a good study space in a small children’s room?

Use the wall above and around the desk with shelves, hooks and a storage board. Then even a small space can accommodate a functional study space.

How do you keep paperwork and information from the school tidy?

Prepare what you need the evening before. Gather your bag, clothes and other things to bring along to make it easier to get off in the morning.

How can the study site be adapted as the child gets older?

Gather schedules, notes and important papers in a designated place. A storage board or document holder provides a good overview and makes it easy to find information.
