Gorgeous Homeschool Rooms and Kids Play Areas

If you’re hanging with me on Instagram you know that I can get a little cray cray putting our creative workspaces together.  I have completely done an overhaul of our home school space from last year.  We added a huge new sofa for the room and recycled my old faithful desk. You can see details of our space HERE

BUT before I even started changing our entire basement, I searched high and low for inspiration.  I found four lovely, awesome, hands-on mamas who have constructed an environment in their homes that would make any kid excited to learn!

I have a soft spot for black and white.  I am so in love with this clean set up. The bins, the desks, and the personal touches she added to their space.

Brit is also great at putting together fun themed learning units!  Be sure to follow her on Instagram to get some great ideas. 

Steph @the.rome.home who has created a homeschool planner you can find HERE. 

What drew me to her space is all the fun pretend play items that can be used for learning.  I love all the wood elements in this room.  How adorable is that little kitchen area?!

Becca’s feed is full of home décor inspirations along with great tips for homeschooling mamas.  She does a book round up that is fantastic.  This is a nook I fell in love with!  I think it is so sweet that she also wanted to create a space for her preschooler.  I love the pops of color, the gorgeous rug, and that sign!  It oozes cuteness.

First off, I loved her caddy of school supplies so much I went on a hunt to buy one for our room. There are so many things I love about this room!  The little fun little details with the globe and duck book holders.  How sweet is that reading nook where her kiddo can snuggle up and read.   

I just love that design on the wall!  

So much inspiration from these spaces!  I hope you all have an amazing school year wherever you are sending your kiddos to this year.

Happy learning, 

Homeschool Room Ideas

The kids counted down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds until school started and they are overjoyed to have finished their first week!  The minions go to a hybrid school so they homeschool part-time.  They get the best of both worlds, a classroom at school and a classroom at home.

Last year we found this sign at Kirkland's and thought it would be a great name for our home "school".  Welcome to Wonderland!  The name is based on the verse from Psalm 77:14 because we want to learn all about God's great wonders.

"You are the God of great wonders! You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations."

The workspace is my old sewing table.  It's actually a dining table that folds down on each side.    Cindy Boo picked out the plants.

TABLE: IKEA   MAP: Hobby Lobby  TOY BOX: Target  PLANTS: Michaels 

I added my old white bookshelf at the end to hold books, games, and all the extras!  I love the wood chalkboard boxes.

BOOKSHELF: Ikea    BINS: Michaels 

We found this adorable bin from Pier One on clearance woot woot!  It holds all of their supplies.

I'd love to be able to find some cute wood chairs for them but until I do these Ikea stools will do!

We've been simplifying the play area down to their absolute favorites.  It also helps that they are older and could basically play legos for hours.

TOY BINS & TABLE: Ikea 

Two cheap side tables pushed together to make the perfect lego table.  Chairs have been spray painted black.

This corner has my favorite pieces of the room!

A friend gave me the board.  We're using it to put mail for daddy, goals, and prayers.  Their book holder was something I saw on Pinterst and daddy made it happen.

We have these huge walls in the basement so I used some stained pieces of wood, eyelet screws, wire, and clips to create an art display.  Because they only hold art I was able to use velcro command strips to hang them up.

Last but not least is the newest addition to the basement and I am calling this spot the Cozy Nook.  We got rid of our tiny ten-year-old couch and replaced it with this gigantic grey beauty.  I love that the sofa comes in pieces and can be rearranged in eight different ways.  I turned a ladder I built into a book holder that will carry their favorites and current holiday reads.

This nook has become our new movie, video game, reading, moms quiet morning spot.

Even without any natural light, our homeschool room has become one of my favorite places!  BUT sometimes the kids like to work and craft on the kitchen table, so we created a mobile bin full of supplies that they can pull out any time they feel creative.

Hope this inspires you to recreate a space in your home!
Happy decorating,
