Home Organization Tips for the Beginning of the School Year After Summer Break
With the new school year fast approaching, it's time to tackle the organising tasks that will make life easier for both parents and kids. Here's a guide to help you get started.
Firstly, let's focus on your children's rooms, specifically their wardrobes. Melissa Rivera, co-owner of a children's boutique, suggests going through their closets before shopping for new clothes. Donate any items that no longer fit or are no longer likely to be worn. This will make room for any fresh clothes and uniforms.
Melissa also recommends using a milestone box to hold 18+ years of memories from art projects, report cards, and keepsakes. These boxes can be a beautiful way to preserve cherished moments.
For catch-all storage in your kids' rooms, consider adding the La Redoute's Masa Metal Storage Trunk or H&M's Foldable Storage Crates. These versatile storage solutions can house art, diaries, dress-up accessories, and miscellaneous items.
If you're looking for creative ways to help kids organise their playrooms, the Pear Storage Basket from Ferm Living is a great option. This stylish basket can help keep toys, books, and games tidy.
The entryway is another space that requires urgent organising after the summer holidays. Rosie Rowe, a storage expert and the founder & CEO at Ottawa Moving Logistics, advises getting rid of outgrown or unused items. She also suggests adding labelled hooks, cubbies, or bins for organised storage. This will ensure that shoes, backpacks, sports gear, and jackets have a designated place.
Meal prep, lunch packing, and snack organisation are made effortless with an organised kitchen. This is the next most important room to organise after children's playrooms and closets, according to Rosie Rowe.
No back-to-school reset is complete without streamlining the paperwork taking up counter space all over your home. Organiser boxes keep everything sorted in one stylish, accessible place. The Phomemo D30 Label Maker from Amazon is a versatile organisation essential that can help you label these boxes.
Lastly, for off-season clothing, Amazon Basics Vacuum Compression Zipper Storage Bags are recommended. These bags can help you pack away summer essentials in a bin labelled 'summer essentials' for storage until next summer.

Remember, this is a chance to rethink your children's room storage ideas and make the most of the space available. Digitally memorialize sentimental items that don't have room for physical storage, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a clutter-free home.
