By design, 90s patterns are bright and colorful…which means a little goes a long way! Rather than paper your entire room in neon zigzags, keep the boldness to borders and balance with a lot of clean white space and clear, legible fonts that students of any age can read. By following these guidelines, your classroom will be fun AND functional!

90s Decor - Labels and Organizational Tools

Make organizing fun with labels in 4 throwback patterns that will have you thinking you’re hanging out at Bayside High. Number labels are one of my favorite tools for organization. You can use them for everything, from labeling student cubbies to setting up an attendance tracker!

Supply labels are also a great way to increase student accountability and organizational skills. Having clearly defined areas (featuring easy-to-read labels) for supply storage makes it easy for students to find and return items they are using.

This free set of labels can help you organize all the files on your desk! Sized to fit the 3-drawer sterilite organizers.

Fun and Functional Decor
