London Kitchen
The dining table can be a great place for spreading out big projects — but such a big surface also can mean a bigger mess. In this space by Clare Gaskin Interiors, a slim bookcase and low cabinets with deep drawers make cleanup easy — when it’s time for dinner, schoolbooks can simply be shelved and papers stashed in a drawer.
Custom Island If you’re planning a kitchen remodel and would like to incorporate space for doing homework, consider adding a sleek hidden shelf to the island, as shown in this space by Irons McDuff Architecture. Kids can work at the island and simply slide books and papers out of sight when the space is needed for cooking. A hidden outlet beneath the counter for charging laptops and other devices would be a helpful finishing touch.

If you need more room, consider clearing out one entire upper or lower cabinet and outfitting it with a combination of magazine files, document storage boxes and desktop organizers. This is a good option for older kids who need to keep work for multiple subjects organized.
