Back to School Style

by Wiens Furniture & Appliances

School is right around the corner! Are you ready for your little ones to get back into a routine? Before you jump right into the school year, we've compiled a few tips to help the school year go easier - from storage solutions to snack tips to decorating ideas for kid's rooms! Here we go!

Storage Solutions

First things first, make sure you have plenty of storage options available. Kids like to put things here and there throughout the house, which can drive any parent crazy! Having a dedicated spot for backpacks or books is a great way to keep the clutter under control. We recommend using a storage bench for this. Not only does it work well in a mudroom or entryway (it’s also great for putting on shoes), it offers lots of storage space for those extra school things!

Snack Station

In the kitchen, a kid-friendly snack station is every kid’s dream! We love these Canadel islands for this purpose. Just dedicate one or two drawers for snacks, and your kid will love it! Plus, the butcherblock countertop is great for cutting up veggies for an afternoon snack.

Slumber Style

Now is a great time to go through your kid's room and spruce it up! Make sure their dresser drawers are sliding properly, their bed is cozy (make sure you add a new throw pillow), and if their area rug is looking worse for wear, it may be time for a new one! Your child will love coming home to a freshened room!
