7 Back to School Essentials for 2023

Getting ready to learn starts with the right furniture. Fortunately, here at Twin Star Home we have plenty of options for back to school. With our wide selections of desks, décor, and more, you will be able to maximize efficiency and establish good self-care habits for everyone’s well being.

Best Desks for Back to School

A standing desk may be the right option, especially if your student has been sitting all day at school. Besides letting your teenagers stretch their growing limbs, it also creates a work station that fits everyone’s height preferences. This standing desk, shown below, can be adjusted to fit more than one user with three programmable presets. And built-in USB charging keep your devices humming along.

If you’re tight on space and need to make the most of it, a leaning desk (like the one shown below) adds style and function to those compact areas. It offers a workspace sized right for a laptop or notebook. Plus, it has a drawer, upper shelves for storage, and integrated USB charging ports to keep your devices from running down.

Another elegant option is a sleek writing desk with USB charging, like this one pictured below. And if there comes a time when it is no longer needed as a desk, this versatile piece can be used as an entryway table, a cute accent table in the master bedroom. or whatever your space calls for.

Where to Store Everything for Back to School

If you’re looking for something that is more accessible for the little ones, we’ve got just the thing with this flattering sideboard, like the one shown below. The adjustable interior shelves are ideal for art projects, organizing binders, and sorting homework projects according to different school subjects. Best of all, soft-close hinges prevent loud slams and bangs from happening. Even if the homework papers aren’t perfectly stacked, your guests will never know once the coastal-inspired cabinet doors are closed!

If the entryway or mudroom is the problem spot in your home, a hall tree can be a game changer. Having a place near the door where coats, shoes, and backpacks can be stored not only helps control the mess, but also helps everyone get out the door without forgetting essential items.

We especially love this hall tree with hooks and included baskets (shown below) because you can assign a specific basket to your kiddos and remind them to put all their shoes in that basket. Hopefully, good habits will ensure you never have to go looking for that one missing tennis shoe!

If you don’t have the space for a hall tree, a simple coat rack might be the answer. A wall mounted coat rack with a chalkboard like the one shown below also doubles as a message center – a fun way to add a smile to everyone’s faces with notes and scribbles as they head out the door.

Warming Up to Back to School

Keep your scholar comfortable and focused when the weather gets chilly – while saving money – with a duraflame® electric heater. With models small enough to go almost anywhere, these heaters take the chill out of drafty rooms without taking up much room. Save money on gas bills when you turn down the thermostat and add heat only when – and where – you need it.
