Frequently asked questions about getting your home ready for back to school

How do I set up a desk corner in a living room?

Place the desk against a wall rather than in the middle of the room, and go for a shallow depth, between 45 and 60 cm, so it does not block the way through. A console table makes an excellent occasional desk when space is short. A dedicated lamp and a finish close to that of the living room blend it into the decor instead of making it stand out.

How do I organise my hallway for back to school?

Give everything that comes through the door its own place: hooks for coats, a lower one for the children, a bench for taking shoes off and a basket for whatever is lying around. A mirror reflects the light and is handy for a last look before heading out. The goal is simple: nothing ends up on the floor any more.

What lighting for when the days get shorter?

Add more low light sources rather than relying on the ceiling light: a floor lamp next to an armchair, a lamp on a console table, another on the desk. Choose a warm light, around 2700 kelvin, for the evening, and a more neutral one, around 4000 kelvin, for working. Three soft sources light a room better than a single strong one.

How do I add storage without cluttering a room?

Use the walls before the floor: shelves, hooks and wall units free up floor space and make the room feel taller. Baskets and closed boxes absorb everyday clutter without putting it on show. Store what you rarely use up high, and keep what you use every day within reach.

A work surface at the right height, an adjustable lamp, and a shelf are all it takes to define a workspace. A console table along a wall can serve as a desk without cluttering...

Days are getting shorter, and we're turning on the lights earlier at home. Here's our back-to-school selection: everything you need to set up a home office, tidy up your entryway, and enjoy soft lighting as evening falls.

A home office, even in the living room

A work surface at the right height, an adjustable lamp, and a shelf are all it takes to define a workspace. A console table along a wall can serve as a desk without cluttering the room.

An entryway that handles the return

Coats, bags, and shoes all arrive at once. A coat rack, a bench, and a mirror transform the passageway into a true entrance hall. Find everything in our entryway selection.

Evening light

From September onwards, we turn on the lights before the day ends. A floor lamp near an armchair and a table lamp on a console are better than a single ceiling light.

Tidy up, then relax

Baskets for clutter, a throw, and cushions for longer evenings.
