Study Table Sizes

How to Plan a Study Room
Light
Daylight from the side
Place the desk beside or facing a window, not with the window behind the screen.
Task light
Desk lamp or under-shelf LED
Warm-neutral light (about 4000K) on the work surface.
Storage
Within arm's reach
Drawers and a shelf above the desk for daily books.
Power
Points above the desk
For laptop, lamp and chargers; plan before building.
Noise
Away from the TV
A door, curtain or bookshelf divider helps.
Colour
Calm and light
White, light wood, sage or soft blue help concentration.

Small Study Room Ideas
Use the wall, not the floor: a floating desk, shelves above and a pegboard. A fold-down desk or a desk built into the wardrobe works in bedrooms. Keep colours light and add one good task light. For home offices, see office interior design with plywood (see also school benches).
Common Mistakes
A desk at the wrong height; the window behind the screen; no power points above the desk; thin shelves that sag under books; glossy desk tops that glare; and cables hanging loose. Get the height, light and wiring right first.
