Clear the Clutter With an (Organized!) After-School Drop Zone

If you've got spare wall space, we've got some seriously stylish solutions for taming the clutter and creating the after-school drop zone of your dreams.

Reimagine an entertainment console into a stylish shoe stash station. With the perfect dimensions for holding lots of shoes, this is a super practical way to store your kids' shoes. Plus, by creating a dedicated space for shoes, you may never have to hear that familiar refrain, "Mom, have you seen my shoes?" again!

Keeping kids accountable for helping around the house can be a full-time job. Simplify this task with erasable chore charts on their level.

Use interchangeable labels or write in your own tasks. List the allowance or rewards they can earn as a visual incentive, then hang them in a prominent location so kids have daily reminders of their responsibilities.
