It’s June again, which means it’s back-to-school season again! Students are super excited to start the school year, see their friends, and learn new lessons. A fresh school season also means that students can restart and start focusing on gathering those must-have straight As.
A factor that can help students reach their goal is through having a space in their home that can help them focus. A good study room can help students concentrate on their homework, read, and learn, even if they’re away from school. With a study room, parents are assured that their kids can reach their maximum potential, and of course, reach their own dreams.
Have no idea on how to start a study room in your own house? Then you’re in luck. We listed down below some great study room ideas that can help you get started.
1. Start organizing
It’s hard to focus on studying when the room is very unclean or disorganized. The first thing that you have to do when building a study room is to organize. Grab the things that are needed, throw away the things that you no longer have to use. Make sure you sorted things out before you start planning.
2. A wall of books
Books are tried and tested ways to inspire people to study up. Fill up a wall with bookshelves. Organize the books through theme or alphabetically. Or better yet, through color! Make the books the eye popping center of attention and whoever enters your room will feel the need to read.
3. Color up!
As mentioned, colors can hugely affect someone’s productivity. By using bright colors, you are giving life to the study room, making your kids more engaged in studying. Paint the wall with bright yellow or blue. Or better yet, paint the tables, chairs, and cabinets, in different colors. They will surely won’t fall asleep while answering their Algebra homework, thanks to these sparkly hues.
4. It’s all about the space
If you don’t have an extra room to build a study room, then make use of the space available. A little study nook at the corner of your child’s room can do wonders. Just put a table, a chair, a rug, and a lampshade, in front of the windows and boom! An instant study room! If you’re feeling a bit creative, take out a door of your huge closet, decorate it with a fun pattern, for an instant study haven. You can also use a fold down table that can only be laid down when someone needs to study. Turn the lower bunk of a double bed into a mini vanity and study space, just like at the picture above. Add tables that may fit the allotted space to complete the look.
5. Mood board
Want to spice up the study room? Then add a mood board! Mood boards can consist of motivational posters, pictures of the places that you guys want to go, or a calendar to stay on track with your schedule. Let the kids put the things that inspire them in the mood board so that they’ll always be motivated.
6. Open up a window
Natural lighting can do wonders to any room, including a study room. Let the sun shine inside by creating a huge window or a wall completely build of glass. This will also add sophistication to the whole room. Seeing the outside is also a huge plus in a child’s motivation in studying.
7. Kitchen counter work station

Watch your kids study while you’re cooking dinner. A tiny desk at the end of the kitchen counter is ideal when if you’re trying to multitask.
We hope that these ideas will help you and your kids create a fun study haven that they can truly enjoy. Have fun studying!
