Working with your kids around can be a great opportunity to bond, teach them responsibility, and develop their confidence. Flow Wall can help you design a safe, fun workspace that can double as a playroom for you and your kids. The cabinets, shelves and bins available from Flow Wall are made of easy-to-maintain materials that can be used in any room! Your home office can easily become a place for you and your children to learn, explore and create, so here are a few suggestions on how to use Flow Wall's unique wall storage solutions to create an environment to let your little ones play.

Safety first

Customize your home office design so your child will be safe while they work with you. Flow Wall's cabinet system can help. You can use Flow Wall to create a complete workstation right on your office wall using both low and high cabinets, depending on your needs. Designating lower cabinets with Flow Wall's easy-to-use D-shaped handles will keep all your child's essentials within reach and prevent them from climbing on your desk or countertops to the higher shelves. Organize their toys and craft supplies in a storage system and you can teach them how to pick up after themselves too! Install higher cabinets to hold your office supplies like paper, staplers and computer equipment.

Storage options that work for everyone

If there is one thing a playroom and home office have in common, it is the need for the right kind of storage. Flow Wall's decorative bins are perfect for toys, paper and even tech accessories. The durable canvas material can stand up to anything your kids can throw at it, and the bins are attractive enough to display on a decor shelf or cube. Try assigning smaller bins for your kids to use, and store your printer paper, books and computer equipment in the larger bins. These organizational pieces add a touch of style to your decor while remaining a functional element in the room.

Teach and learn together

Make your office/playroom a place for your kids to learn and have fun. Decorate with corkboard maps that let your children mark down interesting places they've been. Hang vintage reading posters and keep books on display shelves to encourage your little ones to curl up with a good story while you work. Provide hanging baskets or plastic bins for your kids to keep their things in, and then make a game out of clean-up time. By involving your children in your workspace you will make them feel like they are really helping out, which can build their confidence and teach them how to take care of their favorite things.
