Back to School Furniture Must Have’s
Back to school season is always a fun and exciting time. Summer vacation is winding down, and department stores are stocked to the brim with binders, backpacks, glue sticks, pencils and families toting their school issued supply lists. Checking off boxes for these smaller items is easy enough, but when you return home and the school year starts, the real challenge begins.
Rest assured, you can create calm amongst the chaos, and set your children up for success by creating (or updating) an incredible workstation. Designate a space for homework and studying that’s comfortable and functional. By keeping it organized and easy to use with everything in reach, you’ll ensure peak productivity for everyone using the space.
Here, we highlight some of our favorite workstation pieces if you’re looking to prep for your own family this fall.
WORK SPACES
The Classics 4.0 desk from Smartstuff Furniture paired with the desk hutch provides ample workspace including drawer storage while utilizing the vertical space for bins, file folders, and even comes complete with a cork board for important reminders.
Perhaps you prefer a more modern or minimalist style. The #myroom desk from Smartstuff Furniture provides the same spacious surface as the Classics 4.0 desk, with a sleeker approach in the design. Pair it with a desk hutch, bookcase or use it alone. You can’t go wrong with the #myRoom series.
The Colgate Desk from Vanguard Furniture is a bold choice of desk for those with a smaller area such as a small home office or child’s bedroom with a designated work area. With plenty of drawers and the semi-reflective glossed Silver Leaf surface to capitalize on light, this multi-purpose design truly utilizes the space it takes while maintaining a visual appeal that will leave your family rushing to use it. To make it completely customizable, this desk is available in over 10 finish and hardware options to suit any fancy.
SEATING
When ensuring comfort in your workspace, selecting the perfect chair is an equally important and, often overlooked, item. Finding the right fit can seem like a challenge of Goldilocks proportions, however; adding a comfortable and stylish chair to the workspace increases the odds it will be used and you won’t find yourself or the kids drifting towards the sofa instead.
