A new school year is the perfect opportunity for a little home refresh. Al-Futtaim IKEA shares inspiring tips to create a calmer, more organised space for studying, reading and getting creative.
Back-to-School season isn’t just about new uniforms, stationery and school bags. Getting the home ready can make those first few weeks feel effortless and exciting (especially when children have a comfortable space where they can sit down, concentrate, and keep everything organised!)
It doesn’t have to mean a complete bedroom makeover — sometimes, a few practical, thoughtful changes are all it takes.
Create a Study Corner
No matter the size of your home, giving children their own little homework zone helps build a positive daily routine.
IKEA’s MICKE works well in smaller bedrooms, while the GLADHÖJDEN sit/stand desk is a flexible option for older students. Pair it with a comfortable chair —the yellow DAGNAR children’s desk chair is a fun choice for younger kids.
Keep Everything Organized and Within Reach
Pens, notebooks, chargers and craft supplies always have a home when you have smart storage solutions.
Keep the things children use every day within reach and give everything else a designated home. The RISATORP compartment basket is handy for smaller supplies, while the TONSTAD drawer unit on castors can be moved around depending on where homework is happening that day.
Think About Lighting
A well-lit desk makes homework and reading much more comfortable, particularly as study time moves into the evening.
The FOLKBÅT floor lamp has two adjustable spotlights, so you can direct the light towards a desk or reading area without needing to rearrange the whole room.
Make It Their Space
Most importantly, let children have some say in their study area. A favourite chair, colourful stationery, a noticeboard, or a few personal touches can make it feel like a personal sanctuary where they love to learn, draw and create.
