The new school season symbolizes a time of fresh beginnings, new friendships, and maybe even a new look for your home. This time of year can also be very hectic with busy schedules and lots of homework. Here are a few tips that can help keep your home well organized throughout the new school year.
#1 Landing Station – When the kiddos come home from a busy day at school, their first instinct is to dump all of their belongings at the door. We suggest creating a “landing station” at the door where kids can hang coats, book bags, or whatever they come in with. This can be as simple as color coded bins, or a built-in center with custom cabinetry and shelving. RIGGS can help you design something that will work for your family!
#2 Homework Station – Creating a designated area for school work to take place will help your child learn and grow. A homework station will give your child a comfortable place to study, work on the computer and organize their school work. Consider transforming an unused room in your home to accommodate built-in desks, cabinetry, and cubby holes, or dedicate a spot in a kitchen or family room.
#3 Playtime – Don’t forget—kids have to play too! Design your family room to accommodate gaming systems and home entertainment components. Plan the space, furniture layout, and choose storage pieces to house TV’s, movies and games.
And remember: kids will be kids! That means things get broken, holes get poked in walls—there’s always a repair to be done. Don’t worry though! We handle repairs and maintenance too!
