How do you make homework a priority without turning your home into a classroom? It can be hard to find a designated space for your kids to work that is functional, inviting, and organized. A homework station might just be the solution you’ve been searching for. Created with home office cabinetry and a little bit of creativity, your homework station will not only keep your home classroom clutter-free, but also make homework time a lot more exciting for your children. Find out how to set up this ultimate workspace below.
Step 1: Pick the right spot for your homework station.
There is no right place or wrong place to do homework. Some families prefer their children do homework right in the kitchen, while others think the bedroom is a more appropriate space to set up a desk. Other families have an extra room in their home that would be perfect for an office. You decide! Once you have determined the perfect spot, you can start designing an office area for your little students.
Step 2: Decide on the perfect style and finish of home office cabinetry.
You’ll find a wide selection of office cabinetry available from Willow Lane Cabinetry. Start browsing to find out which styles and finishes stand out the most. If you’re not sure which will look best or what cabinets you’ll need, simply contact us. We will match you with one of our office room designers. Our design services are completely complimentary and your personal designer will be able to provide you with a custom layout, photorealistic renderings of your design, and an itemized list of what you’ll need and what it all costs. Once your order is placed, your office room cabinets will be shipped to your home in just two to six weeks. We even offer free shipping on orders that exceed $2,500.
Step 3: Select your office accessories.
Once you’ve ordered your home office cabinetry, you can move on to the desk, and office accessories. Finding the right chair is always a good place to start. From fun and colorful to functional and comfortable, you’ll find plenty of options to choose from. Let your little scholar help you select just the right one to make them even more proud to have their very own homework station. Then stock your cabinets and drawers with all of the pens, pencils, and notebooks your child will need to have a successful school year.
Step 4: Add some color, creativity, and inspiration.
While a homework station is meant to get work done, it should also be a place that inspires and encourages. Incorporate colors, framed photos or artwork, and intriguing décor. By making this space somewhere your children actually want to be, finishing homework will be less of a chore and no longer a bore.
Step 5: Give your homework station a test.
While setting up your children’s homework station, it’s good to let them give it a test drive. Identify what’s missing or where you could improve. They will be happy to help contribute to this project, and by seeking their feedback; you’ll only increase your chances of turning homework time into fun time.
