Weir uses this closet space as part of her home school. A vintage chalkboard and chairs give her boys a stylish place to learn. The collected look enables the room to be used for storage as well.
2. Traditional Home in PennsylvaniaInterior designer Darlene Weir is all about flexible seating options. Although her boys use a traditional chair and desk setup for writing assignments, they do almost all of their reading, researching and memorizing together on a beanbag, opting to break away from the heirloom table passed down from Weir's husband's family.

Flexibility is a perk of homeschooling, so why not work on the ground once in a while?"Tip: If you opt for a traditional chalkboard, try to find one that's antique — the chalk won't squeak as you write.
