Workplace For Your Schoolkid

In order to make your kid’s homework a bit more fun, you can make the work area as comfortable as possible.
You should pay attention to several things - proper seating, good lighting and school supplies storage.

 Proper seating

To avoid problems with posture, choose furniture that is appropriate to the child's height. Corner of the table should rest against the solar plexus at 5 cm above the elbow, back straight, knees bent at 90 degrees and feet flat on the floor. The child should sit deep in the chair. How is this achieved?

1. Buy a desk and chair with adjustable height. 
2. Buy a chair with adjustable height and blocking tires, get the leg stand. 
3. Buy a chair with adjustable height and table top with wall. Change the height of countertops as your child grows. 

 You can also change a table and chair as your child grows. Back of the chair should be rigid. If your child will be comfortable recline in his chair at work, it will reduce the load on the spine.

Lighting 

 This is the second very important factor. The eyes of children are tired during the study, so the more daylight - the better. The ideal option would be to put the table near the window, or sideways to the window.

 If the child is right-handed, light should fall on the left, and vice versa. This rule should be guided while installing a desk lamp.

Storing 

Make it easier to comply with the order on the table and take care of where textbooks, notebooks, pens, pencils, paper and other suppliers will be stored.

1. The closer a shelf of books to the table, the easier it is to put a book in place. 

2. Keeping order in a closed locker is harder than order on a shelf. 

3. If the shelves are located on the table, pit will be easier to put the books. Please note that the majority of primary school textbooks are tall and thin. A good alternative to the shelves of textbooks and notebooks will be folder attachments and holders. 

4. A lot of things useful for space organization can be found among the goods for the office. Coasters and paper tray (it is convenient to use as a paper - color, plain, cardboard, and for notebooks), stands for pens and pencils. 

5. If it is possible to place on the wall railings, table top can be released from the smallest details. 

An alternative could be a mobile bedside table:

The ideal solution - a separate room in which members of the household may enter only in cases of extreme necessity. If a separate room for the resettlement office not, should be separated workspace screen. To organize such a makeshift office enough 6 square meters.

The second rule - the workplace should be ergonomically and safely from a medical standpoint, it is particularly important if the work involves the use of a PC. Table to work should be not less than the depth of 60-80 cm and width - at least 120-160 cm Well, if the table will be able to adjust the height between 68-80 cm, if it does not, then it is recommended to use a desk with height 72 cm .

Many models of computer desks are equipped with special sliding shelf for keyboard, but for extended use on the PC, this is not an option. Hands will be less tired when they are on the table and bent at the elbow at a right angle.

With no less attention, is to the choice of a chair or computer chair. Its height should be adjusted so as to be comfortable with his legs, and they do not numb, and the adjustable backrest angle to provide a direct bearing. Provided, - welcome to it decreases the likelihood of slouching while working. Upholstery of chairs or stools should choose airtight.

Storage Tips for Your Kitchen

But only experience can determine the approximate location of all the things that help you cooking. Everything is at stake: comfort, security, and your good mood. Today we will tell you how to find more space in your kitchen for storage. These tips will help you whethe you have a small-sized or large kitchen.

It's no secret that the cabinet with drawers is ideal for pots and pans and food. However, most kitchen cabinets are equipped with only two regiments, which is not very convenient. We recommend using the wide spacious shelves for large pots, bowls and small appliances. Long and narrow vertical drawers or shelves are ideal for storing spices and seasonings. Ideally, this shelf or box should be located near the stove, and next to the trash can and sink.

The more variety in the kitchen drawer, the easier you will keep stuff in order. To save some space, separate large and small dishes. This will allow you not to create mountains, which are ready to collapse at any moment and make it easier to find the right dish or cup. Remember that access to the foil, trash bags, baking paper must be facilitated, so put all of these in a drawer and not on the shelf, where they may slide. If your kitchen has low and small-size boxes, we encourage you to use them to storage snacks and baby food. Kids can get their own food, without distracting you.

If the size of your kitchen alllows, get a so-called "kitchen island". This is perfect for any kitchen. Kitchen island can serve as kitchen table, countertops, cabinets for built-in equipment or utensils. Kitchen island is perfect for the kitchen, if you need a certain flexibility of the space. And additional boxes have never been too many.

You can use open shelves to store items that are ornament, and at the same time are easy accessible. On these shelves you can put beautiful plates and other utensils, culinary literature. Pots and pans can be hung over the stove for a special attachment. So they will always be at your fingertips. Since storage does not always mean "hide away".

Anyway, decorating your kitchen keep in mind that this one is going to be perfect just for you. Listen to your instincts, use your imagination, have fun and result won't disappoint you!
