Storage Solutions for a New School Year!
There’s nothing like the buzz of excitement for the start of a new school year! Routines are back, and with them comes the need for storage solutions for your family. Here are a few ways we incorporate an abundance of storage in our new construction homes for an extra dose of simplicity in the busy seasons!
Bench & Hooks and Drop Off Area!
Starting with a custom amenity we include in each of the homes we build: the bench & hooks! This is the perfect space for getting organized for back-to-school. With the ability to customize it with cubbies, additional hooks, storage space for shoes, or cabinets above, you give yourself the advantage of having all of the things you need for school in one place for the next day!
Another storage solution that is optional for some homes is a Drop Off area! This is an excellent spot for charging iPads, hanging artwork above, or for additional shoe or toy storage!
Walk-in Pantries
A storage space that helps bring an extra ounce of organization to the new school year is a dedicated pantry! Having a designated spot for school snacks is great for packing lunches or for after school cravings. A sizable pantry is great to have for dinner prep or for additional appliances – like our much-needed coffee pots or espresso makers!
Closets
One thing about a Magnolia Home – it’s going to have great closet space! We work with Inspired Closets to bring our closet dreams to life with ample space for clothes, shoes, and accessories! Whether our closets are organized or not, having a place to tuck away the clothes of the day (preferably in a hamper!!!) provide an ounce of sanity and organization after a long school or work day! There’s even a possibility your closet can connect to your laundry room!
Homework Centers
A dedicated place for homework, school papers, and family calendars – sounds like a planner’s paradise! We’ve incorporated more and more homework nooks in our homes, with built-in desks or dedicated rooms for study centers. This is the perfect way to have everything organized without sharing space with the kitchen table!
Laundry Rooms
You can’t start a new year without having your clothes nice and clean! Having a laundry room complete with drying racks, shelves, space for folding, and cabinetry for all of your detergent and supplies makes preparing your outfits for the school day so much more enjoyable!
Built-in storage isn’t just about reducing clutter in your home, it’s about designing a home that supports your lifestyle! From the first drop-off of the school year to cozy family nights in, these smart storage solutions in your new construction home will help you to have the best school year yet!
