It’s almost time for schools to go back.
The next few weeks are the traditional times for families to start to prepare and to get ready for the start of term. Perhaps that means a lot of shopping for clothes and school uniforms, new shoes and sports kit, or lots of filing and stationery. One way or another you want your kids to be as prepared as possible.
Of course, that also means making sure they are ready for all the homework. The further they go through school the more homework there is, so it helps to be organised and to have somewhere quiet away from the TV to work, and their bedroom is often the solution. So you need desks and storage to make that work.
devoted2home have some excellent solutions, delivered next day direct to the door and easy to assemble.
Desks are the most important item. The best desk in the devoted2home range for a student’s bedroom is the Soho, available in either walnut or oak, which has a small footprint so it will fit into most bedrooms. It has a drawer for all the stationery and two shelves for schoolbooks and work.
If your child has a desktop computer (and computers are invaluable for homework these days, it’s hard to imagine being able to do homework without them), then the Soho 2 Drawer Desk in Pine is for you. It has a slot for the desktop computer to sit in so it is not taking up desk space, so it is great to match it with some additional storage.
But what type of storage works well with a desk?
The traditional way to store all the homework is in a separate, free-standing unit. The Boldon 2 Drawer Filing Cabinet in Beech is perfect, combining a shallow top drawer for all the pens, pencils, paper and other bits and pieces with a deeper lower drawer for suspension files.
If, like a lot of children, your kids prefer to keep each subject in a separate folder or filing box, then the Newmarket 1 Door Office Storage Unit in Walnut is an excellent idea. Instead of drawers it has two shelves, so all those folders can be neatly tucked away - think about how tidy that will make the bedroom!
Of course, it’s not just about tidiness. Being able to find things easily, having space to work, keeping different subjects in separate folders all makes it easier to work more productively, and all of that helps your kids to get the grades they want.
