Optimum productivity and excellence are instigated in the right environment. A study room is just the place for that. Many of us design a separate room for our child where they can peacefully do their homework, prepare for exams or master their hobbies and ideas. Adding a small table or creating a separate corner within a kid’s bedroom isn’t equivalent to the privacy of a study room. The decoration of the room creates the ambience and should be designed in such a way that your child looks forward to spending time there.
This post has some creative suggestions about furnishing a kid’s study room adequately.
-
Study table
A study table is a basic necessity when creating a study room. They are available in different sizes and types, and certain tables come with attached bookshelves too. Consider the available space before you invest in the tables as it will be the primary and dominant furniture in the room. Choose a table that has sufficient storage space as well. Study tables that are foldable or multi-functional are great options for a smaller space. Also, if you’re thinking long-term while shopping, then invest in a height-adjustable chair along with a standard height table.

Light fixtures
To create peaceful ambiance, the lighting of the room is very important. Invest in task lights and place them around the study table to ensure there is sufficient light so that your child won’t strain their eyes while reading at night. If there is a natural light source such as a window, position their study area there so that your kid can work during the day and enjoy the view too. If you are turning an attic into a study room and it has a skylight as a primary light source, plan other artificial light fixtures accordingly.

Bookcases
Bookcases are also an essential part of the study room. It’s a great place where you can keep the kid’s books and files stored in an organized manner. Designer bookcases that are sturdy and have spacious shelves can also hold more items than just books. Styles that can be wall-mounted are a great choice for freeing up floor space. For rooms with limited space, folding bookshelves are a good option too. Choose a shelf that your child can reach easily. Opt for materials like wood and metal over glass for a kid’s study room to avoid any kind of accidents.

Wall colours and accessories
The room is incomplete without the right colour coordination. Choose bright colours like cherry red, yellow, sky blue or plain white, which reflect light more and will impart a spacious feel to the room. Apart from basic furniture, add accessories to encourage their hobbies. For example, you can create an artist’s corner if the child loves to paint. But try to keep the furniture minimum so there is enough floor area.
Your child spends a major amount of time in their study room after coming home from school. So, it’s essential that the décor is soft and welcoming. With the right furniture and a touch of creativity, you can create a space that is ideal for studying.
