Tips on Designing a Study Area
Designing a study area in your home is important if you do not want any distractions and if you want to get serious in your studies. You can base your design on the available space and the resources in that room.
The first thing that you have to look for in your study area is that it has to be a quiet place and there is minimal distraction going on in that particular area. The corner of your room is ideal if you don't have a separate room for studying. Hallways with extra space at the end can be turned into a study area.
Lots of decors can be too distracting. You can put some of your personal things to add your own personality to your study area.
Choose a desk that has the right height for you. Your desk and chair has to be comfortable enough for you to study and do your school works every day. You can have your desk against the wall which means that you will have your back on the rest of the room. This way, you can concentrate more and avoid being distracted.
Your study area should be organized. If your desk is too messy, you may lose the interest to study. It would be better if your desk has drawers so that you can have a storage space for your smaller school supplies.
Another important factor for a good study area design are the lighting.You may need additional lighting if your overhead lighting is not sufficient enough. You can use wall-mounted light instead of lamps to save space on your desk.
