Try on design dilemma - you'll be inundated with a range of advice of varying legitimacy and worth. Filter thru it accordingly. Regards

Stack everything you want/need to put back into the space (as though it was on those shelves) and see how much space you actually need, and how much space between the shelves will actually work best. I would definitely make it so there isn't anything stored on the floor. I would replace the last shelf (the one with the red plastic tub) and move it up a few inches (just enough to go over the piece that juts out from the wall) and use a corner-style shelf (from the same material) to get more storage from that area on 2 walls, instead of just one. Then I would place one more corner shelf lower than that shelf. If space is a premium you can use narrower shelves than the ones you currently have in there on the two corner shelves. You may be able to take the shelf you would be removing for the 1 or 2 additional corner units on the bottom, and put it up higher, about 12" under the top shelf. The top shelf is often a waste of space since it's difficult to easily get to, so use that space wisely for things you don't need very often. -Grainlady

As a former homeschooler, who shifted children between Catholic elementary school and homeschooling, and who later went to work at her children’s school when the last of her many children was in junior high, I learned, and was shocked, at how few the materials school teachers actually have at their finger tips. Too much homeschool stuff often derails the family. I’m still dejunking homeschool supplies now 25+ years after I started, and will probably die with my math manipulatives-they are just too amazing to let go of. Four of my children are college graduates, a couple of them have advanced degrees. My baby is in high school. Anyway, the homeschool mother juggles her own sanity, a tight budget, limited space and the busy children she isn’t interacting with at any particular moment. Little time for the marriage. Often pregnant or nursing a baby. The appearance and decor of her home slides to the bottom of her priorities. The mistake is is believing that more educational stuff will buy her time, patience, energy, and brilliant children. By the time I realized this, I was drowning in materials and curricula. Of course, online access has changed so much. Things are simpler in many ways. To the OP, you owe yourself a home that brings you peace. Use closable storage, not open shelving. This is important. You will be more likely to invite people over if you can simply close your school things behind cabinet doors. Conserve your energy. Tidying up open shelving is exhausting! Homeschooling should not wipe out the balance of family life when school is done for the day. I might suggest looking at tall cabinets on Amazon. Sometimes the are called Pantry Cupboards, and are about 6 feet tall and 32” wide. being able to close doors over stuff is really important, in terms of visual order. You might also store things in milk crates that go under the table at the end of the day. Those rolling carts that you can find at Target are awesome too. If you you can afford it, perhaps get a tall cabinet or locker for each child. You can keep your teacher materials on the tops shelves and let the child determine how he wants to store his possessions. Or maybe a math cabinet (with manipulatives), a craft cabinet, science cabinet, library, etc. Also, storing like things in one place is a constant reminder of exactly what you have. This is very important, in so many ways!

We have a stacked laundry pair right off our (long narrow) galley kitchen. Works great for us, even as a family of 4. Unless I had a ginormous house, I honestly can't imagine folding clothes in a room dedicated for that. And while I own an iron, I don't use it nearly as often as my mother did, so I don't miss having specific space for that. The one thing I couldn't live without was some storage for clothes that are waiting to be washed (theoretically could be used to hold clothes that are waiting to be folded too.) I did a tall tower of these from Ikea (https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S29277187/) or you could something similar from the Container Store's Elfa line. This gives me 3 large bins for clothes and 2 smaller bins for storing laundry pods and other supplies. I had a very small space but the Ikea version is only 16" wide and sits on wheels. We're starting a big renovation and may move the laundry but I'll keep the same layout.
