Back-to-school organisation and storage solutions for the whole family

As the summer comes to a close and the new school year approaches, it's time to get organised. From homework stations to clutter-free classrooms, these organisation and storage solutions will help the whole family get ready for the school year ahead.

Create a homework station: A dedicated homework station is a must-have for keeping schoolwork organised and easily accessible. Choose a spot that's quiet and well-lit, and stock it with supplies like pencils, pens, paper, and a calculator. If you have limited space, consider using a portable homework station that can be easily stored when not in use.

Use labelled storage bins: Labeled storage bins are a great way to keep things organised and easily accessible. Use them to store things like school supplies, sports equipment, and other household items. You can even use clear bins so that you can see what's inside at a glance.

Invest in a calendar: A calendar is a must-have for keeping track of assignments, tests, and extracurricular activities. Opt for a wall calendar that everyone in the family can see, or use a digital calendar to stay organised on the go.

Set up a clutter-free classroom: A cluttered classroom can be a major distraction and make it difficult for kids to focus on their work. Set up a designated spot for everything, and make sure that everything has its own designated home. This will help to keep the space organised and clutter-free.

Use vertical storage: If you're short on space, use vertical storage to make the most of the space you have. Think about using things like wall shelves, hanging baskets, and over-the-door organisers to keep things organised and easily accessible.
