As summer winds down, it’s time to prep more than just school supplies—your home could use a refresh, too. Here's how to make your space work smarter for the school year ahead.

Create a Study-Friendly Space

Whether it's the kitchen table or a quiet corner, kids need a place to focus. Consider:

  • A kitchen table for group work and easy cleanup
  • A bedroom desk for solo study time
  • A guest room for quiet, low-traffic focus
  • An unused area transformed into a study nook

Design for How You Live

Want your space to work better? A few tweaks go a long way.

  • Practice areas: Set up a music or dance space in the basement or garage.
  • Furniture fixes: Repurpose old furniture, add risers, or rearrange for better flow.
  • Smart solutions: Try folding desks, bunk bed/desk combos, or power strips in overlooked spaces.

Think Long-Term with Upcycling

Choose pieces that grow with your family:

  • Minimalist desks can become entryway buffets.
  • Storage bins can hold tools or crafts later.
  • Shelving can display books now, and décor later.

And don’t forget that parents need work or quiet zones too.

Stay Celebration-Ready

From 100-day parties to end-of-season wins, keep frozen treats on hand and a cozy spot ready for movie night.

With a little planning and creativity, your home can set everyone up for success this school year. You've got this—bring on the bell!
