From Chaos to Calm: Creating Efficient Homeschool Storage
First and foremost, you don’t need a fancy, extra room in your house to put all of your homeschooling things. There have been times where I have had a designated homeschool room and times where I haven’t. Your homeschool does not need to look like a public school classroom.
Since we are welcoming our fifth child, our extra room is now a bedroom that is in use. That means, our homeschool room is no longer an option. Honestly, it hasn’t been for some time now! We had to get creative. Now, we are using our dining room as our homeschool space. I actually prefer this, as we have to be close to the toddlers during the school day. Having our school room as our dining room means we are right next to the living room.
Incorporating Educational Resources Seamlessly into Your Home’s Aesthetic
Something that was important to me when incorporating our homeschool space into our dining room, was I wanted them to both function well. I didn’t want school things overflowing. It needs to be something quick and efficient, but also look nice. I ended up getting a bookshelf at a garage sale for $5. We use baskets that are functional, but also match my decor and style.
Essential Strategies for Out-of-Reach Storage
We have to utilize every space on our bookshelf. This means, we have items I don’t want the toddlers having access to in the cupboards and on top of the bookshelf. We have our writing and crafting items where they can be easily accessed, but not by just anyone. Mom or one of the older boys have to work for it.

Prioritize Frequently Used Resources for Quick Access
The items that we use on a daily or frequent basis are kept right on our bookshelf in our dining room. As we use or finish materials, they get put in storage. Anything we have upstairs in our school area is currently being used. That makes it easy to keep clean and clutter free.
Organizing Your Homeschool Hub: A Practical Storage Approach
We have the boys curriculum in baskets in the cupboards. They each have their own basket. They don’t need to pull the basket out, as it’s right next to the table. This keeps their curriculum tidy, easy to get to, but not accessible by the toddlers. It also keeps it out of sight, as I am not a huge fan of physical clutter.
The same can be said for our group subjects and binders. Their binders are on a top shelf. It’s super easy for them to grab and put away on their own. Our group subjects and teacher’s manuals are on a shelf in a basket. This keeps it tidy and available for quick access.

Considering Accessibility and Ease of Access to Your Chosen Space
Since we no longer have a whole room to keep all of the extras, we do need a space for these items. The goal is to not keep around anything we’re not currently using and allow it to clutter up our space.
We are currently using large shelves in our garage. We also have a large bookshelf next to it. This houses all of our extra curriculum we’re not currently using, extra craft supplies, puzzles, and school games.
We have our main bookshelf that houses our chapter and picture books in our master bedroom closet. As you can tell, we put things where we have space. Since we do not use it on a daily basis, it is super easy to grab what we need and put away what we’re not currently using.
We also have a large whiteboard that we use for our All About Reading and Spelling, as well as for other various uses. On our fridge, in the kitchen next to our dining room, we keep a small white board on there, in case we want to school on the couch, which does happen frequently with younger siblings.
We have a basket with math manipulatives to keep it organized and for quick use. These also make great toys for preschoolers when they are looking for something to do during the school day.



Creating an Inspiring and Organized Homeschool Display Area
Keeping everything in one of our main living areas definitely makes our homeschool area feel like it overlaps into our everyday life. When we had a designated homeschool room, I felt like I was constantly going back and forth between “Mom” and “Teacher”. Now I feel like I can seamlessly jump back and forth.
I feel like I am proud to display fun projects and activities to complete. Homeschooling is a part of our life and it’s easy for people to see that now when they come into our home.
Keeping our homeschool organized is super easy because we use the dining room multiple times a day. We can’t let it get out of control. It makes it simple to keep on top of.
Our Old Homeschool Organization
Back when we had the ability to have a whole school room, we had a table and chairs in the middle of the room where we’d complete our schoolwork. We had our bookshelf to keep basic supplies like teacher’s manuals. We had our main bookshelf on the wall. The closet in the room was the real star. It housed the boys towers where they kept their individual work. Everything else was housed in storage basics by type: crafts, math manipulatives, hands-on items, etc. We also kept things like games, playdoh, laminator, and any other school related items.
