Home offices are a large part of your home – if they’re not they should be. An area for both kids and parents to detach from all distractions and promote concentration. It is essential to have a space like this, even if it is not an entire room, to create an area dedicated to concentrating on your work. As studies show if you conduct work in your bed, you will associate this area to work rather than sleep, which can lead to many sleepless nights. So, create a comfortable study area to set the scene for a more productive you. Here are a few of our tips to create the perfect study room.

  1. Functionality

It should be an area that facilitates collaboration, personal space and a pleasant respite from other distractions. Plan your space to offer a desk, storage, seats and natural light. Open shelving is great to easily locate your items and offer a seamless space for continual change. If your existing furniture is of good quality but worn, instead of throwing it have it repainted at Highlands Hand Painting. A study room can be created for both small and large spaces just think out of the box for all space to be utilised.

  1. Integrated Technology

Technology is a key feature. Integrate areas with tables that have easy access to charge devices, offer playability to speakers, docking systems or even interactive whiteboards if you want to splash out. This will create an easily accessible sanctuary to improve innovation.

  1. Colour palette

Stick to bright colours like white to open areas and decorate with red, orange or yellow as these colours promote productivity and remembrance. Darker colours can be used only if it is contrasted with light colours because the darker the area the less motivated you are. Stay away from dark shades to avoid an enclosed area feeling.

  1. Extras

Having corkboards or white boards make a space personal with pictures, motivational quotes and reminders to be organised. Additionally, having books and paintings emit both a creative and educational space.
