Are you having trouble focusing on your notes or work? Just having a good desk and chair in a room isn’t enough. Do you want to discover the factors that will make your
study area truly functional and help you be more productive? At
Behind Pictures, we want to help you design a study area that benefits you and works in your favor during your concentration hours. Discover how
a 3D render can completely change your perception of the space, and with it, your
priorities for designing your new study area. Shall we begin?
The Importance of Design for a Study Area
Fatigue while studying or working from home is common, and many may try to combat it by moving their study time to seemingly more comfortable spots, like that cozy sofa or even the bed. However,
environments like these do not promote concentration, but have the opposite effect. Their main purpose is to
minimize distractions as much as possible and maximize concentration on what is important at the moment: studying. An ideal study area should
exude tranquility, and with attention to detail, we can design a study space that helps maintain focus. Can you identify what is currently preventing you from increasing your overall productivity? A
3D render will help us better understand and analyze the available space so we can plan a starting point for designing a study area tailored to you.
Our Top 6 Elements for a Functional Study Area
The
pandemic forced us to create space for remote work and online classes in our homes in a very short time. For this reason,
most study areas tend to cause distractions because they were originally intended for a very different purpose. Therefore, below we give you
6 tips to make your study area highly functional and help you successfully complete all projects you undertake there.
Choose the Space and Position the Desk
The location of the desk is the most important aspect of a study area; a small room with natural light, dedicated exclusively as your study space, is ideal. If you don’t have such a space,
choose a corner as far from the busiest areas of the house as possible. Try to position the desk
so natural light hits it from the front or side, because if the light comes from behind, you will cast shadows on yourself and working will be uncomfortable.
Lighting
The constant intensity provided by
natural light is essential to increase productivity. Pay attention to the orientation of the facade and desk to achieve an effective layout. As hours pass, natural light will decrease, so it is important to use good
artificial lighting to complement your study desk.
Desk lamps will be your best allies in this case, as they will not strain your eyes excessively.
Colors for Concentration
Did you know that some
colors promote concentration?
Warm tones like beige, earth, and white are perfect for the main color of a study area’s walls. These shades are also ideal for
combining with other pastel-colored elements. The balance between these colors creates an environment that encourages focus and productivity—
perfect for your study area! If you have trouble imagining the room in a specific color, nothing works better than a
3D render to visualize it.
Order and Storage
It’s well known that clutter distracts, so when creating your study area, it is essential to have
storage space to keep the area always organized. Choose
shelves, drawers, and filing cabinets, and decide where to store frequently used materials and occasional items. Every element should always have its place!
The Chair, a Study Area Essential
If the desk is important, the chair you’ll spend long hours in is even more so. Choose a
height-adjustable, ergonomic model; good lumbar support is essential to avoid injuries. Armrests are your choice, but if possible, pick a
five-wheel chair for better stability.
Don’t Forget the Outlets!
Your laptop, desk lamp, phone, and even the printer need power, so first check the wiring and
outlet placement. This way, you won’t need extension cords and will
maintain order and functionality in your study area.
