Set up a comfortable study space for each child who will be homeschooled. Put in desks for study and work time or a communal table with enough chairs for everyone.
Equip the room with educational posters that will teach children even as they pursue other subjects. Use charts and labeled diagrams to teach complex subjects easily. Consider using maps to decorate at least one wall of the homeschool room.
Set up as many bookcases as the space can hold without blocking entrances or windows. Use modular shelving units to use the space to its best advantage. Put educational chapter books, dictionaries and thesauruses as well as textbooks on the shelves.
Make a place for colorful art supplies, such as a corner with a chest of drawers to hold paints, paper and colored pencils. Keep glue, scissors and other art items organized and visible for your students.
Get at least one computer for the room, kept at a central location or on one of the desks. Keep computer paper handy for research and school assignments.
Keep items such as a small trash can, a pencil sharpener and tissues easily accessible.
