Family Friendly Friday-Back to School Interior Ideas

If you are like me and back to school with your kids. Your house is starting to fill with papers, backpacks, lunch boxes etc..

Here are few great ways to pull it all together and that look great!

Back door spaces – use hooks to hang all of their coats and a storage bench for extra storage, you can slide their shoes underneath too!

Even the dog has place to hang out with this great built in storage area! What is also great is using all the space, with the memo and chalk board on the double sided doors of the kitchen cabinet…

I love to using baskets for scarves, hats and gloves

You can add a little fun to your hooks, by painting a bold color and pattern to display

Now what to do with the papers… If you are lucky to have a desk area in the kitchen, my favorite is closed storage

If you have a small space using a wall system like this one is great

Or create a storage area that fits in with the room

A closet can be repurposed into a desk space

A wall is always great, when space is limited

Happy Decorating!

Imagine walking into your living room to find your toddler covered in marker along with your furniture! My daughter's "Marker Art" was a defining moment. It was then that I reinvented my business to find the very best family-friendly furnishings and solutions for my client's homes.

My blog shares the very best of what I have learned about family-friendly design these past 18 years.
