How to Prepare your Space for After School or At Home Learning

Whether you are staying at home this semester or heading back into a classroom, there are creative ways to decorate your space for back to school. Adding invigorating color and pattern to any room can help bring a refreshing dose of joy and optimism.

Our top organization tips for back to school include:


1. Keep a schedule.
The start of a new season brings many new activities and challenges. Having a schedule visible on a chalkboard or dry erase board will help keep everything (and everyone) organized.

2. Dedicate a workspace or homeschool space for homework and Zoom meetings.
It’s easy to slip into the habit of working from the couch or kitchen table. Having your own homework room will help you focused and productive all day long. Showcase your own unique style with one of our bold prints.

3. Label everything.
Our must-haves for college and at-home learning spaces also include labels. It’s easy for things to get misplaced or go missing. Stay organized by labeling shelves, cubbies, boxes and more.

If you’re looking for a stylish alternative to the classic label maker, we offer custom name peel and stick wall decals so you can display any name or phrase of your choice. Shop our personalized wall decals.

At Tempaper, we are here to help you decorate every space from your college dorm room to your first home.
