I am sure we can all agree that having a peaceful home is always a wonderful thing. Don’t get wrong I know life can get in the way of our peace sometimes, your child gets sick, siblings argue, your husband leaves his dirty clothes on the floor constantly… Please tell me I’m not the only one dealing with this issue. 😉 So today I am sharing a few easy ways that you can have a peaceful homeschool room.

5 Ways to Have a Peaceful Homeschool Room
Home Is Where Your Story Begins…
Homeschool Room Organization
First I’d love to chat about organization. Having materials and toys out for children to use and keeping it at a level where they can use everything freely is a huge benefit.
We decided to use this wall to dress up and imaginary play. I am sure over time it will probably change, but for now, it is perfect for all of our playsilks and shopping bags. Bells loves it!
You could also hang a broom, dustpan, an apron, use what your child is into and what makes sense for your house.
I am a big fan of Pretend Play and Imaginary play if your child chooses. My children have always engaged in imaginary play and when I taught in an actual preschool the majority of the children there loved to pretend play too. Especially in the kitchen area.
Pretend Play Promotes:
Social Skills
Imagination
Language Development
Confidence and so much more…
I think it is perfectly natural to allow your child the freedom to play how they want (unless of course, it endangers them or someone else – that’s a big No-No).
I truly believe if you surround yourself with things that you love and that you feel have a great purpose then you will feel at peace.
We love using natural materials and the look of wood, so for us, this kitchen area is perfect thanks to Elves & Angels.
Most of the accessories are from Simple Gifts Toys and Melissa and Doug. But I have to give an honorable mention to the Learning Resources Sorting Pie my kids have loved this pie for years and it’s still getting tons of attention.
What You Need to Know When Creating a Homeschool Room
I received an e-mail the other day asking how we keep our homeschool room looking so good (clean, organized). I was honored that someone would write to me about that.
The truth is Less Stuff equals More Fun.
My kids don’t have a playroom, we don’t have toys in the family room or loud things with flashing lights throughout the house…
We have this. A peaceful homeschool room that is also for reading, talking, celebrating birthdays, lounging, bird watching, painting, cuddling, having tea parties, and so much more.
The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up – Get it, read it, it’s awesome!

We use essential oils for a lot of things now and always have one going during our homeschool day. This InnoGear Diffuser has been awesome plus they have outlasted all of my expensive ones from the past. I highly recommend it.
Toys and Learning Materials for A Peaceful Homeschool Room
Be Picky – If you don’t see multiple uses for open-ended play, natural learning, or long time enjoyment don’t add it to your home.
If your children are into Art or Science invest more in quality materials.
Too much visual stimulation can negatively impact learning. Use colors that are calming but won’t put you to sleep. Yellows, Blues, and greens are great for pops of color that will give you a happy calming feeling. The key with color just like everything else is to keep it simple.
Nobody wants the amusement park feeling every time they go into the homeschool room. Do you know that feeling? Your head is spinning from way too many sounds, colors, and lights. No thanks! Just remember your kids have that same feeling.
I can’t wait to share the rest of our changes (full room pics coming soon). Yay!

I have to give credit to my mom for that one. She actually introduced me to the Himalayan Salt Lamp and it was love at first sight. 😉

Now that’s the face of a happy peaceful child 🙂

Where did you find the rocks on the mirror? I really like those and my daughter loves science and outdoors!
They are polished stones. You can make them with a rock tumbler or purchase them online (Amazon)

Love your set up as always. Where did you get the canopy?

I love your Space! I’ve been following a couple of years!
My 5 kids this september will be 8, 6 1/2, 4 1/2, 3 and 4 month baby. I’m planning onchanging our homeschool room…
. What would you add as must in your homeschool room for those âge, especially for the 2 older one? Thank you very much!
I wonder about kids that are a bit older. Mine are 9 and almost 11, they are moving past the imaginative play. If they want to play kitchen, I have them play in the kitchen. Love the salt lamp and essential oils. Great ideas for a learning space.
Like you my 10 and 12 year old hang out on the rocker or bean bag chair. We have actually been moving some things around again and making it work for all of the kids as they grow and change. It seems every 18 months we change it 🙂 Thanks for sharing
Where did you get the shelf from?
which shelf? The one with the silks hanging is from Target. The bookcases are Pottery Barn Kids 🙂
I love your Himalayan Salt Lamp! I love reading your schedule by the way and gave me an idea to share our schedule for the upcoming school year! I forgot to mention that I looove your homeschool room! So close to nature and all those colours!
Jae Thank you so much 🙂 I’m so glad you like it all.

What a beautiful space! And those tips are definitely helpful to bring peace to a space. I love the colors and the wooden materials.

What beautiful materials! I especially love the rocks you showed being used on the mirror. Bulldozer would LOVE them. You definitely have set up an inviting and peaceful environment!
Thank you Renae
