While kitchen tables are still popular, the need for easy access to computers and smart devices for even the youngest of children have parents looking for new ideas to create tech-friendly, creativity-boosting spaces that kids can thrive in. Check out Pinterest and you\u2019ll see thousands of ideas for creating modern homework spaces for kids.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking of creating a new space for your kids (or maybe even something that the parents can use too), here are a few ideas that might inspire you:<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-750\" src=\"http:\/\/alaskahomesbybrooke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Picture1-300x264.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"233\">How to create a hallway homework space<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got a hallway with open wall space, you can create a workspace station for your kids, like this one shown on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sandandsisal.com\/2012\/08\/15-homework-station-ideas.html\">Sand and Sisal<\/a> blog. Think mini-murphy bed and you\u2019ll see how this easy-to-create solution works for storing homework supplies out of the way until they are needed. When kids are ready, just open, pull up a chair and let their creativity flow!<\/p>\n<p>Another idea for hallway or closet space is to place a bookcase vertically against the wall with chairs on either side. Use one shelf for a writing space, the others for art supplies, pictures, maps and other supplies for school and crafts.<\/p>\n<p>Place either of these homework spaces near outlets for easy access to charge devices.<\/p>\n<h2>Converting a closet into a kids\u2019 homework space<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-751\" src=\"http:\/\/alaskahomesbybrooke.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Picture2-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"264\">Little-used closets can be transformed into fun homework spaces. Take the doors off, line the walls with a fun pattern wallpaper, add some shelves to create a desk-like surface and some storage and you\u2019ve got a space that will offer big appeal to pint-size learners. Small smart TVs or monitors can also be mounted on the wall for easy connectivity to smart tablets or laptops for more technical work as kids get older. Printers can be hidden away in other areas of the closet. And don\u2019t forget to have an electrician install an outlet nearby with USB capability for easy charging.<\/p>\n<p>(photo caption: Photo from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisoldhouse.com\/ideas\/27-inspirational-homework-areas-and-study-stations\">This Old House<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>No matter what you end up creating in your own home, knowing they have their own special place will give kids a renewed sense of focus and creativity and help keep them on track all year long.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s high-tech world, helping kids find a productive space to do homework has definitely changed.
