10 Awesome Study Nook Ideas That Make Homework Fun

Use these ten study nook ideas for inspiration to layout a space for your kids’ homework station and essential school supplies.

As long as your kids are at school, they’ll have homework. But, this isn’t just frustrating for children, it’s also stressful for parents.

You sometimes have to reach into the recesses of your mind to remember what you were taught at school when your kids need help. But, in addition to that, you may find yourself running around trying to find items your children need e.g printer paper, a ruler or notebooks. And, you may have to clear a spot for them just to be able to sit down and have enough space to even do their work.

There’s a simple solution that will help relieve some of this frustration and that is a kids’ study area. And, while it won’t eliminate the homework your kids bring home, they’ll know exactly where to go to settle down and get their work done. And, you’ll know just where to find all the school supplies they may need.

You may not have an entire room that you can dedicate to be the homework room but that doesn’t mean that you can’t have an attractive and well-organized space. Get your house ready for school with these ten study nook ideas.

1. Closet Study Nook Idea

Even a small closet can be an amazing area for your children to get their homework done. Add extra shelves for storage and a desk with a comfy chair. After homework is done, close the door and you can forget that homework exists until the next day…

2. Wall-Mounted Desk

A floating desk is perfect when you’re short on space. See a wall-mounted desk here.

3. Fold-Down Desk

Another space-saver is a fold-down desk. Attach it to the wall and when you need it, let the working surface down. When it’s not in use, any mess is hidden.

4. Double Workstation

If you have two kids, you’ll probably need a study space that can accommodate both of them at the same time. This is a simple, compact solution to that problem and it has plenty of built-in storage!

5. DIY Homework Desk

Create a desk for your kids’ study nook simply by placing a sturdy piece of wood on top of two sawhorse legs. Use screws to secure all the pieces, fill the screw holes with wood filler. Sand the wood filler and sides of the wood until smooth and finish the whole thing off with paint.

This is an affordable and quick solution to creating a kids’ homework area and you can find all the supplies at your local hardware store.

6. Along a Wall

An empty wall can house your kid’s study table without eating up a lot of room. Plus, more than one person can comfortably sit there. Run the desk along a wall in a wide hallway, on the stairs landing or in a room in the house.

7. Bedroom Study Nook

I personally love this idea. I always say you should take advantage of the space under the bed because it takes up so much real estate. But, this is taking it to a whole new level.

If you can trust that your child will do homework when left in their room unattended, this can be just what you’re looking for.

8. Corner Or Awkward Space

If there’s an empty corner or awkward space in your house with slanted ceilings or even under the stairs, add a desk, storage and a chair and convert it into a usable kids’ study area.

9. Kitchen Homework Station

If your kids, need supervision or help when doing homework, the kitchen may be a good room to set up their study nook. Dedicate shelves, a drawer or one cupboard for homework supplies so they’re all in one place and easy to find.

10. Portable Homework Station

Maybe you don’t have room for a specific homework area so instead, try a mobile one. This example uses the Ikea Raskog cart to store all the necessary school essentials. Use various containers to separate supplies and keep them organized.

Hopefully, these study nook ideas can inspire you to create a practical but stylish space for your kids to do their homework.
