Tips for Furnishing & Organising Your Child’s Study Room

Your kids deserve a comfortable and lively study room that enhances their concentration levels and inspires them to spend more time there.

A well-lit room with proper ventilation, preferably with a window makes an ideal setting for a kid’s study room.

SIMPLE TIPS FOR DECORATING YOUR CHILDRENS’ STUDY ROOM

If you have taken it upon yourself to furnish or rearrange your kid’s study room, these simple yet effective tips will come in handy –

Talk to Your Child

Being a parent is not easy. It makes us want to do everything that we possibly can to give our children the best of all that life has to offer. However, when it comes to furnishing and reorganizing your kid’s study room, you should involve your child in the entire process.

Don’t forget that your idea of ‘the best setting’ may not necessarily be what your child likes.

Since the objective is to make the study room as pleasant, likeable and productive as possible, it is advisable to sit with your kids and discuss what they would like their study room to look like.

Find out about their preferences in colours, patterns, and prints, etc., as their inputs will help you when you go out shopping and eventually, enable you to furnish the study room to your child’s liking.

A little bit of planning and organization can save a lot of time and effort later on.

Appropriate Furniture

Invest in a sturdy and good-quality study table that will last for years. Also, look for a comfortable and firm chair, preferably an ergonomic to provide support for your child’s back and neck.

Keep in mind your kid’s preference in colours while picking out a charming chair.

Depending on the age of your child, select a table and chair that is of the correct size and height. It is a good idea to take your kids along with you when you go furniture shopping.

If your child uses a computer, you can pick out a good computer table that they can also use as a writing desk.

Wall Colors

The colors of the wall set the mood for any room, and the same applies to a kid’s study room.

When choosing wall colors for your child’s study room, select warm, soothing and lively hues such as yellow and orange to create a happy and cheerful setting.

Knowing your child’s preference is also a good idea as it will help you narrow down your choice and select a color that will make everyone happy!

Good Lighting

Pay extra attention to the lighting in the study room. Good lighting is an absolute must for your child’s study area.

In addition to artificial lighting, if the study room gets a fair share of natural light too, then there’s nothing like it!

Also, invest in a durable and high-quality table lamp for those nights your child is putting in extra hours. A desk lamp is a great investment since it offers concentrated lighting over the study space and is ideal for late night studying.

Also, do pay attention to the placement of the lampshade to make sure that the lights do not create a glare.

Personalize the Room

• Cheerful Interiors – A kid’s study room should reflect his or her personality. You can create a lived-in and familiar atmosphere in the study room and brighten it up with cheerful drapes and motivational posters.
• Prized Possessions – If your child has won awards and trophies, make a special place for these items in the room. Laminated certificates and other reminders of success will motivate your children to put in their best efforts, every day.

• Essentials – Make a list of all the essential items your child may need in the study room. Other desk accessories such as pen/pencil holders, file cabinets, and a medium-sized dustbin are also required.
• Proper Spacing – Look around the room, reorganize and rearrange the placement of every item in the room such as the furniture, storage racks, and book stand, etc.

Your aim should be to create an optimum usage of space while getting rid of any clutter. All the best!
