DIY AT HOME - Children's Study Furniture $$$

[ad_1]

If your child has just started secondary school, both they and you may be surprised at just how much homework they are getting! It's always a shock going from the careful days of primary school to the responsible and more grown-up world of secondary school. No more playing with dolls or cars when they get back home - they have at least an hour's worth of homework to do every evening!

Since they are going to be spending much more time in their rooms studying, now now is the time to think about children's study furniture? It would make their lives much easier if they had a proper desk to sit at rather than on the floor or sitting against the bed and it might even make them less relevant to get some studying done!

There are a whole range of children's desks on the market, so which do you choose? There are one or two things you should be looking out for when choosing the right desk for your child:

• Wooden desks are great for large bedrooms and are an attractive option. Many of them come with drawers, shelves and attached pinboards which are great for storage and keeping everything in one place!
• Workstations are more practical for smaller rooms and pc-mad children. Most have a pullout keyboard shelf that saves space and because they can be lightweight most come with castors allowing for full mobility.
• Traditional school desks are lovely for small children and also ideal for home-schooling! Traditional children's furniture like this is making a bit of a comeback so this is one item of furniture worth getting and hanging onto.
• Large workstations may be more expensive, but when you are buying for older children you are also thinking about purchasing pieces that they can take them with them or be re-used in the home. A large workstation is great for study rooms and once they do leave home, you'll be fighting them for it!

Children's desks need not be boring, there are many examples of brightly colored and stylish desks on the market at stores such as John Lewis and Amazon. Young children especially will be happier working at a bright and cheerful desk that reflects their own personalities.

With young elementary school aged children coming back with more and more homework, it might be an idea to get them in the mood for studying at a young age, not that I'm suggesting you buy a desk before you go shopping for the cot! But with such cute and cheery designs you'll be ditching the drawer set for a desk and swapping the cuddly toys for GCSE guides!
