Give Your Home a Back-to-School Makeover with These 3 Projects

Back-to-school season is already here! Whether you’re a teacher, a parent, or a student, this is an exciting time of year. Before you start sharpening those new pencils and planning those first-day-of-school outfits, finish up any lingering home improvement projects. 

After all, starting the school year with a clear to-do list and a functional living space can help set your family up for success.


Here are three home improvement projects perfect for back-to-school season.


Set Up a Study Spot


A dedicated workspace can help you start your semester off on the right foot. Here are a few ways to create a workspace, depending on what your school year looks like.


Teachers: The life of a teacher is as busy as it is rewarding! Grading papers, lesson planning, and other administrative tasks tend to happen at home. Setting up a home office, whether you have a dedicated room or a small desk in the living room, can help you get your homework done with ease.

Parents: Help your kiddos build strong study habits by creating a homework nook. Simply adding a shared workspace table to your home office or building your teen a vanity that doubles as a study space for their bedroom can help your kids feel excited to do their homework.

Students: Each new semester is a chance to improve your study habits. Adding a few enhancements to your workspace, such as a power strip or drawer dividers, can help you keep your space functional and distraction-free.
