The Struggle of Homework in the Kitchen

For many students, the kitchen is not just a place to cook and eat, but also a common location for
doing homework. However, this seemingly convenient setup can often lead to distractions and
difficulties in completing assignments.

The kitchen is a busy place, with family members coming and going, the sound of pots and pans
clanging, and the aroma of delicious food cooking. It can be hard to focus on schoolwork when there
are so many other things happening around you.

Not to mention, the kitchen is also often the center of household activities, making it a high-traffic
area. This can make it difficult to find a quiet and private space to concentrate on homework.

Furthermore, the kitchen is not always the most comfortable place to work. Sitting at the kitchen
table for extended periods of time can lead to back pain and discomfort, making it even harder to
focus on assignments.

With all these challenges, it's no wonder that many students struggle to complete their homework in
the kitchen. But fear not, there is a solution - a dedicated homework station in the kitchen.

Introducing the Homework Station

A homework station is a designated area in the kitchen that is specifically set up for studying and
completing assignments. It can be as simple as a small desk or table, or as elaborate as a custom-
built study nook.

Having a designated homework station in the kitchen can help eliminate distractions and create a
more conducive environment for learning. It also provides a sense of structure and routine, making it
easier for students to focus on their tasks.

Additionally, a homework station can be customized to fit the needs and preferences of each
individual student. Some may prefer a quiet and minimalist setup, while others may benefit from a
more colorful and stimulating environment.

The Benefits of a Homework Station in the Kitchen

Aside from providing a dedicated and distraction-free space for homework, a homework station in
the kitchen can also have other benefits. For one, it allows for easy access to snacks and drinks,
keeping students fueled and energized while they work.

Having a homework station in the kitchen also allows for easy supervision from parents or guardians.
They can keep an eye on their child's progress and offer assistance when needed.

Furthermore, a homework station in the kitchen can help foster a sense of responsibility and
independence in students. By having their own space to work in, they can take ownership of their
studies and develop good study habits.

progress. Because this rental isn’t our forever home, a few relatively inexpensive Ikea pieces are the
perfect way to furnish this funky space without breaking the bank. And as always here at Sunny Side

counter, so they can bring which ever bucket they need with them, and then (ideally) put them away
when they are finished. Jennifer installed the entire shelving system in an afternoon. These rooms
create homework zones to encourage practical study time. As your child grows, you can make
changes to the desk area to accommodate your child’s evolving study needs. Open shelves can be a
great way to display kid’s artwork, awards, and family photos. It’s easy to fall in love with this
kitchen for its beautiful walnut cabinetry and openness to light and space. Pull-out desks can quickly
double your workspace for group projects and study. A little creativity can help you tap into
underutilized areas that could be doing more work for you and your family. It’s all about finding and
creating the right space, personalizing it for your child, and making it easy to stay organized. (It’s
hard to stay focused in a mess!) Whether big or small, these homework stations work for the home’s
layout, the child’s personality, and organizational ease. Information on the Ikea cart and the cute
DIY container instructions are all provided in the post. Check out these clever closet spaces turned to

homework station. And thanks so much for sharing my triple homework station. A file cabinet is a
great way to store all the paperwork that could be needed soon or needs to be filed for later. Avoid

after school to focus on homework will help them achieve success in the coming year. Having a
dedicated space in the home for a homework station, whether small or large, will dramatically
influence behavior and productivity. Extra papers, open books, and even stray wrappers can distract
you from getting to work. If you don’t have a cart, a small bookcase or even a kitchen cabinet
dedicated to homework supplies would work. Consider helping them mix up their workspace by
giving them a lap desk or a clipboard to work on in a comfy chair between Zoom sessions. Having a
designated space helps you focus on your tasks. And if you have to be there for so many hours you
might as well make it just the way you want it. Our two girls and both have small rooms (in our
small house), so fitting a desk in their bedrooms wasn’t ideal. Open shelves can be a great way to
display kid’s artwork, awards, and family photos. It made me so happy to see them just a little more
excited about staying home. I love that you can just close the doors when you’re done. A better
homework routine could start with a better place to get the work done. The same is true for children,
perhaps even more so, as they are full of energy and even more prone to distractions. Thanks to
Hudson Valley lighting, we already have light in the space and this gorgeous fixture is perfect. With
so many kids learning and working at home, and with my own kids returning to school this week, it
felt like a good time to share the details of this functional space in our family room. I love that this
desk area is so central, and that the kids can be doing homework or crafting while I am in the
kitchen cooking. Bench-like tables work in small spaces and can be easily placed against available
walls. Additionally, while we do not control such vendors, we strongly encourage vendors of third-

in place are these hanging buckets, again from IKEA. If so, you can easily transform one into a
homework zone. However, a well-designed desk area with functional cabinets and drawers controls
clutter and provides a streamlined look. I created this desk area using the same cabinets from our
kitchen renovation and I went with a sturdy grey quartz counter material to serve as the desk top. In
this child’s room, the bed gets a raise to make room for a work station. As your child grows, you can
make changes to the desk area to accommodate your child’s evolving study needs. For us moms that
means we’ll be once again signing homework papers, permission slips, trying to keep up with school
schedules, family calendars and trying to juggle ALL THE THINGS. When it’s time to entertain or
cook, everything can be neatly stored away, leaving extra room and counter space for everything
from pouring drinks to roasting a Thanksgiving turkey. I know my teen would love to just roll out of

workspace for them to work comfortably. Add several to a wall to create a fun focal point that
double duties as a homework supply organizer. This can especially be handy if you’re working with
small children who require more direction. These were actually in our bedroom before, but they work
much better in this space. A better homework routine could start with a better place to get the work
done. These buckets are also great because you can take them off of the hooks and move them
around. When they bring home a special assignment or piece of artwork that they want to save, I pop

double duty as a bookshelf. They come with hardware that attaches to the wall to mount them
without brackets. I’m hoping these chalkboard labels will help my daughters put their supplies back
where they belong, and I can always change them up as needed. We love creating unique items for
our homes that make it feel warm and comfortable, reflecting our own personalities, but above all,
we love working together. By transforming the nook into a custom homework station, the kids could
work and socialize as they had always done, while keeping the dining room free to serve its original
purpose at the drop of a hat, no cleanup crew required. This girls are more into this than Kallum, but
I let them post whatever they want on these boards, and I think it's fun for them to have their

Custom cabinetry is a great way to blend a study area into the rest of your home. If possible and
age-appropriate, try to find a separate room for each of your children (and you) to do your work. I

much Marty. I definitely checked Craigslist and the FB marketplace for a used hutch to repurpose
but the convenience of Ikea meant I could immediately unpack a few boxes which was worth it to
me. A cart similar to this metal cart is an incredibly versatile storage piece. I set it near our kitchen
table overlooking the backyard. A homework station should do the same for your child. Drop front
shelves are a great way to hide the unsightly mess of cords but still have easy access to them. With
all the homework we have planned for the kitchen we decided to take out the leaf of our oval table
to make it round. These simple back to school organization ideas bring both beauty and function. I
love that this desk area is so central, and that the kids can be doing homework or crafting while I am
