How To Set Up A Homeschool Room & Best 20 Examples

When you homeschool multiple children, setting up a dedicated homeschool room would be necessary. The space can devote to inspiring your kids to read, to explore, and to love learning. Moreover, due to the health state of the world today, there will be many more children doing remote learning this year. A schoolroom will help to create a successful school year. Setting up or refreshing a homeschool room is a really fun thing that will give you and your children an opportunity to express creativity. So we made this list of creative ideas. Some of the tips are from my previous homeschool room, and some are from the most creative examples we’ve gathered on the web.

#. Set Up Learning Area

Choose a specific room for homeschooling. There, you can add homework desks, blackboards, whiteboards and many other items you found in a traditional classroom. You can also try to create space for a craft station, a reading station or a science station in that room. There are some tips will help you:

1. Set up your school space in a dedicated area away from a playroom.
2. Simply put a bean bag for creating a cozy reading nook. Or define a dedicated learning space in your homeschool room with a colorful area rug. And more, rugs can give a vibrant new look to your space at a relatively inexpensive cost.
3. Create a giant blackboard wall with chalkboard wall stickers or simply place a standing blackboard or whiteboard.
4. Children need proper desks and chairs for doing school work. So, whether you’re creating a built- in desk or just clearing off the dining table, choosing the right desk for the children will be very important.
5. Use available wall space for hanging up helpful educational charts of math facts and parts of speech, and a daily schedule and assignment calendar.

# Set-Up Lighting

When setting up your kids’ workspace, you need to think about lighting. Natural light is best. So you can place their desk close to a window. But you need to add blinds to the window to prevent too strong sunlight. In other cases, you need to outfit their desk with a reading lamp.

# Keep Your Homeschool Space Organized

Organization and clutter control are the key to have a successful homeschool space.
1. Color code supplies by child to make cleanup easier. Color coding can be applied to folders and binders, pencil boxes, art supplies, etc.
2. Consider using cubbies or a bookshelf and equip them with baskets or bins to keep supplies organized. And all of your kids’ items will have a place to go at the end of each day.
3. The pockets of over-the-door shoe hangers can be used for storing flashcards, stickers, sticky notes, scissors, rulers, and more.
