When we look back 50 years, not many houses have study rooms. But, with the changing education system, the need for changing the home to make it study-friendly has been increased. Almost every kid of this generation has a study room at their homes. However, the parents won’t focus much on designing the room to make it functional. But it is essential after all the goal is to make learning pleasant and enjoyable.
How to Design a Study Room for your Kid?
Sound-proof Door: A study
room needs a sound proof door so that no noise from outside will enter the
room. While you are watching your favourite program on television with a loud
sound, asking your kid to focus on books doesn’t work. So, having a sound-proof
door is one solution.
Sufficient Space: The room should
be big enough to arrange essentials. There should be enough space to roam
around when the kid needs to relax for a few minutes.
Clean and Neat: The messy
room is a sign of a messy mind. The room should be ideally clean and neat
without having unnecessary things around. It should have a pleasant environment
for your kid to focus on studies.
Ventilation and Natural Light: The natural light and ventilation are quite important for any room,
especially, if you stay there for long hours. The study room is the place where
students will sit and study for long hours and so it is important for the room
to have a proper ventilation and sunlight. The artificial light throughout the
day is not okay! So the room must have a window that provides good ventilation
and sunlight.
Study Essentials: The
essentials for studying should be placed in the study room itself so that your
kid doesn’t have to search for it at every other place. We suggest a study
table and a chair if he/she has to work on a laptop for their projects.
Otherwise, sitting down on the floor will do more good. Pens, pencils, books
and whatever is essential should be on the rack of the study room.
Indoor Plants: A small
plant in a little pot can change your mood, refresh your mind, and make you
feel pleasant. Decorate your kid’s study table with a beautiful indoor plant.
Greens are always refreshing.
Lights and Fan/A.C: Though
natural light is good, artificial light is also required in the room as the
natural light might not spread all over the room. A fan or A.C. is also
essential.
What to Avoid?
Loud Sounds: The complete
door-soundproofing needs an extensive alteration but it might not be possible
for everyone to get it done. So, while your kid is studying in his study room,
it is important to avoid any kind of noise that disturbs him.
Funny Conversations: If you are
having some funny or interesting conversations with your family members, your
kid might feel joining you which disturbs his focus. So, the conversations
should be postponed to when your kid will be able to join you after his study
time.
No Phone: Children these days are
getting addicted to the phone. When they are in their study room, parents
shouldn’t allow them to look at their phone. Best is to keep the phone with
you.
