| Creating an inspiring and functional study for a teenager is the easy part, having them sit down and open a book is the hard part! A great first step would be to involve them in the furniture selections, let them decide what inspires them and what their ideal work environment would ideally look like. The basics of a teens study are the same as any work environment; the main difference is that it is usually in a corner of their bedroom which can easily become cluttered with clothes and general teenager stuff! Getting the Basics right > The Desk: Select the biggest that the room will take; often school studies will involve both computer use and written work so keep in mind that there will need to be adequate space for both. Select a clean style with a smooth surface and minimal look, (storage can be adjacent) then place their computer to one side, leaving space for written work on the other side of the desk. Most teens will sit down to their computer at some point each night so selecting a desk that discourages clutter will encourage them to maintain focus. > The Chair: Students will not necessarily be in the chair for up to eight hours a day like working adults may be, but it is still important they have something appropriately supportive so they are comfortable while they work. They also do not necessarily need all the features of a swivel base, wheels or recliners, in fact, often making it harder for the chair to move is beneficial (it’s very easy to be distracted when you can swivel closer to a TV!). Something like the Roma dining chair is light in appearance, supportive and the perfect level of comfort for a few hours work each night. > Lighting: Good lighting is hugely important in a teenagers study, most of their work will be completed in the evenings so a decent desk lamp is crucial. Look for a design with a clean, white light which can be moved and adjusted to control the light depending on the activity. > Storage: Having a couple of drawers adjacent to the desk is a great solution for stationery and papers that will be used on a daily basis, it will also allow your teen to pack away their study notes and clear the desk to ensure they can switch off and get a good night’s rest. If the room allows for a bookcase, select one with a combination of concealed storage for text books and notes, and open storage to display personal items so the room can be converted between bedroom and study as needed. > Inspiring your student: Hang some hooks, a pin board or some string on the wall above the desk for the student to personalise their space. They can hang pictures that inspire them and make the space their own. A pin board or cork tiles on the wall will encourage them to change the pictures as their needs or interests change.
