Do you need a homeschool room? The answer is 100% NO. Not at all. We about to enter our 7th + year of homeschooling, and this is the very first time we have ever had a homeschool room. We would do homeschool at the kitchen table, on the couch, or on a blanket in the back yard. We really didn't need a designated space.
We had a homeschool cabinet where we store all of our things, and a homeschool cart that held our everyday items. That served us really well for years. But as the we gained more homeschoolers and more homeschool items, we began to out grow our cabinet. Slowly, but surly, our one cabinet became two and our two cabinets start to overflow onto a shelf.
I was starting to forget we had things and buying duplicates. I could not locate items when I need them. And we were tired of cleaning off the table every time we needed to eat. Since the pandemic, our dinning room had basically become a Lego tornado zone, so I decided to reclaim that space a usable space and create a homeschool room for the first time.
We took shelves from our living/playroom and started reorganizing the two rooms. And it has really paid off. We are using both spaces more than we ever did before (they are next to each other)!
We now have a wall of shelving units that store all of our homeschool and office supplies in one area. It is so much easier to know what we have and find what we need. I no longer have to run all around the house to find what I am looking for. It just works better.
