To create a productive study space for children, it is necessary to promote the ability to concentrate, be imaginative, and develop self-discipline. By providing children with a dedicated study space within their bedroom, it will help to improve both their focus and learning experience while they transition between school and home. With modern trends in design as well as the direction of today’s parents, there is now greater emphasis placed on developing functionally designed spaces with organized storage that incorporates calming aesthetics; therefore, the design of kids’ bedrooms as a study area has become an important part of planning a home today.
Where to put the study area
The first thing to consider when designing a study area is to find the quietest area of the child’s bedroom that has the least amount of distractions. The location of the study area should also have access to as much natural light as possible to help to increase alertness, and good airflow to help make your child feel comfortable during long periods of studying. You want the study area to be personal and inviting for your child so that they will be willing to sit down and work on their homework and/or other assignments.
Select durable finishes for the study table
When selecting study tables for your children, you want to take into consideration how kids typically utilize their study tables for writing, drawing, crafts, and online learning. This is why laminate study tables are a great option for children’s study areas. The laminate finishes are scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, easy to clean and maintain, and come in a variety of colours, patterns, and textures. The laminate provides a smooth, hard surface that can withstand the daily wear and tear of use, making them a more practical choice than bare wood or painted surfaces. The Royale Touche laminates and veneer sheets are premium quality surface materials for your child’s study area that are designed to help maintain a clear working surface for the long haul. They are also extremely hygienic and highly resistant to wear and tear from rough play by children who are active and creative.
Smart storage enhancements
Having a clutter-free area is critical to helping kids stay focused. By adding smart storage throughout the study area, parents are providing kids with thoughtful storage options that allow them the ability to keep everything organized – whether it be their books, stationery, or activity kits – so it is easily accessible and orderly. A great benefit of vertical storage in a small room is that it provides ample workspace without taking up valuable floor space.
Incorporating kid-friendly study table ideas
There are plenty of ideas for study tables in a child’s room that are functional and visually appealing.
1) Wall-mounted foldable desk – A space saving solution
If your child has limited space in their room, this option is a great solution that saves space while providing a solid surface for working.
2) Built-in study unit – A complete learning centre
By combining a study table and shelving/cabinets, this is a fantastic option for building a complete learning environment that promotes the best in children’s learning capabilities.
3) Dual study tables – Perfect for siblings sharing a room
Having two distinct workspaces for each sibling allows them to keep their workspace separate and organized.
4) L-shaped corner study desk – Make use of unused corners
Providing plenty of room is critical for children who enjoy using multiple books or electronic devices at once.
5) Study unit with soft board/peg board – Helpful for keeping reminders visible
This is a great option for kids to be reminded of upcoming events, keep track of schoolwork/friends’ work, and have fun with arts and crafts!
Inspire and comfort your child
A child’s mood is influenced by the colour palette and texture of their study space. Pastels or wood grain laminates and fun print textiles contribute to creating a cheerful and motivating study space. Providing both natural and task lighting is essential for a child’s eye health. An ergonomic chair will ensure proper posture and eliminate fatigue associated with sitting for long periods while studying.
Kids can personalize their study corner by decorating it with their artwork, nameplates, or motivational quotes.
Conclusion
Designing a student’s study area with the focus on creating an organized, comfortable, and productive workspace can result in increased productivity and creativity for children of all ages. Providing the opportunity to design a student’s study space differently through the development of new storage options, accessibility to electronics and high-quality laminate finishes will allow parents to create a study area that continues to grow and change as their child does.
