The study room is an ever-changing concept in the modern home, where family members have their own space to work. The study room now comes in many shapes and sizes located around the home from in the kitchen, hallways and spare rooms. Read ahead as we share our ideas on how to arrange your study room for ultimate functionality and style.
Main Factors
A study room needs to have these main factors to create a comfortable and productive area:
- Cosy room/space for sufficient space that is dedicated to completing tasks
- Comfortable chair is essential for good posture
- Bright light fixtures for spots that don’t receive any light
- Natural light to relax your eyes from straining computer light
- Cabinets/shelves as storage solutions for a tidy work space
- Boards for reminders, notes, calendars and inspiration
- Powerpoint to charge laptops, tablets, phones and desk lights
Your study room needs to evoke creativity, organised to reduce distractions, colour for inspiration and a quiet space to focus.
Style
A change of scenery is a great way to ignite a kick-start for your study or work habits so the key to a useful study room is decorating to reflect personality. If styled like your ideal oasis then studies show you will be more likely to actively want to use the room and study. Don’t let size limit your decorating options, but look at it as an opportunity to get creative with maximising your space. If you have a small space in your hallway make it a study nook, coffee tables become study hubs if there is storage attached and kitchen islands provide enough space for projects where additional space is required for spreading items out.
Furnishings
The layout of the space is completely up to you! Customise your furniture for the ultimate boost of personality and this allows you to include the elements that you truly want in your study room. Imagine a beautiful chest of drawers that needs some loving after some years of wear and tear. Add a splash of colour, glaze and even some distressing if desired to add a unique piece into your study that will stand out. The team at Highlands Hand Painting can help you out.
Alternative Space
Some people just cannot sit at a desk at all times and study. So make the space cater to your needs by placing a comfy chair, couch, relocate to the floor or sit near the window. Whatever is comfortable for you as long as it yields results will work. Dedicated study areas will help you be accountable with your workload.
Organisation
Time to go crazy at the stationary store. Purchase pencil cups, folders, boxes, pens, highlighters, stapler and the list goes on. An organised decluttered study room will help to keep your mind clear and focused instead of suffocated by items.
