Where can I set up a study room at home? How can I set up a place for reading if I don’t have a study room at home?

We all know that house decoration is a complicated matter. It involves many details, many design plans, and many decoration links. Some people decorate their study rooms, while others do not. So how do you design a place to read if you don’t have a study room at home? Let’s take a closer look!

Which places in the home can be designed as a study room?

Don’t worry if you don’t have a study room at home. In my opinion, the following locations can be designed as places for reading:

1. Balcony

If you want to keep it simple, just bring a chair and a few books, and the balcony will become a place to read, which will not interfere with the other functions of the balcony; if you want the balcony to become a "professional" reading area, I think you can consider "occupying" it completely, setting up bookcases on one or both sides of the balcony, moving all your favorite books here, and then matching it with a comfortable leisure chair or tatami, etc., a "reading area" exclusively for you can be formed.

2. Bay Window

Put a mat on the bay window and take a few books to create a "reading area"; add storage compartments or cabinets on both sides of the bay window or above the windowsill to use as "bookcases" for convenient use of books; if the bay window can be removed, turn it all into storage compartments or cabinets to increase storage space.

3. Corridor

If there is a corridor at home and the width allows, set up a shelf or cabinet on one side of the corridor to use as a bookshelf or bookcase, and place a pillow or a chair on one side of it. This is your "reading area."

4. Stairs

If there are stairs, you can build a bookshelf or bookcase under the stairs to make full use of the space. A leisure sofa can make this place your "reading area"; set up a bookshelf on the wall "above the stairs" and "sit on the floor" on the steps, this will also be a good "reading area".

5. Corner

The most easily forgotten corners in the house are corners! Place a few storage panels in the corners, match them with a leisure sofa and lamps, and you will have a leisurely reading corner. If you want to enjoy time with your children at home, lower the height of the storage panels...

Tips: Whether the bay window can be removed and the load-bearing capacity of the balcony require consultation and reporting to the property management. It can only be removed if the property management allows it to avoid safety hazards in the home!

How to design a better study room at home

Specifically, it can be designed and implemented from the following aspects:

1. The balcony is designed as a sunny library

If the bathroom is not big enough for the laundry area, it can be designed at one end of the balcony, and the other end can be designed with a wall-mounted computer desk + a suspended bookshelf, with a chair of appropriate size, so that you can enjoy the sunshine while reading quietly. What a comfortable sunny library!

2. Set up a reading corner in the master bedroom

If the master bedroom is long enough, you can set up a combined wardrobe on the wall at one end of the entrance, and place a double bed and bedside table under it. You can also design a small desk and set up a shelf of corresponding size on the wall as a bookshelf, and then you will have a reading corner.

Of course, this function can also be arranged in the corner opposite the bed. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that there is enough space between the end of the bed and the walkway. If the room has a bay window, a desk can also be set up at the bay window.

3. Design a reading corner in the second bedroom or children’s room

Usually, the area of ​​this room is slightly smaller, and it is better to set the reading corner on the long wall near the window. When it is used as a child's room, a double-layer structure with a bed, desk and bookcase is also a good choice.

4. Create a reading area in the living room

If you have a specific pursuit of separating reading from rest and sleep, set up a folding desk in a corner of the living room, with a chair, a book, a cup of tea, a reading mood, and a small cultural scene in the home.

Is it necessary to have a study room at home?

Whether to install a study room needs to consider the house design and the owner's needs. It is not necessary to install it, but it is not completely unnecessary.

If the house is small, for single people, it is often one bedroom and one living room. If there is extra space at home, it may be a balcony or a corner of the living room, etc. At this time, it is obviously impossible to open up a complete study room separately.

If the owner often reads, studies, or works at home, he can use the partition to create a small space, put a bookshelf and a desk, and create a study atmosphere. If you don't stay at home often, you don't need to do these, just give yourself a quiet environment when you need it.

As small apartments become more and more popular, many families now buy small apartments due to limited economic capabilities. The principle is basically the same as above. If there is a personal need, you can create an area. If there is no need, you don’t have to set it up.

If the house is in a decent shape and there is extra space or room outside the living room, it is easy to set up a study room. On the one hand, it can be used for work and study, and on the other hand, it can also be used to store some infrequently used items.

And if there is a separate room to set up a study, you can make full use of tatami and arrange the study into a combination of a guest room and a study. In this way, when guests come, it can be used as a guest room, and it will not be considered as a waste of space.

In fact, for people or families who like elegance, they will usually set up a study room. For such people, a study room is a must-have space. But most people don’t have too high requirements for a study room. They just need to give themselves a quiet space. These can be changed randomly.

What should I consider when installing a study room at home?

The first is personal needs

If your job is special and you have to work at home, then it is very important to have a quiet office environment. At this time, you must have a study room. If you only work at home occasionally, I also suggest that you set up a study room so that you can have a place to think alone. If your needs in other aspects are greater than your needs in work. For example, you are more interested in fitness than work. If the conditions cannot meet the requirements of setting up a study room and a gym at the same time, it is recommended that you give priority to fitness.

The second is the diversity of functions

The study room can be set up as a study room and tea room, so that when we are working, the study room can provide us with a quiet working space. When we are drinking tea and chatting, the study room becomes a special space for us to chat and enhance our relationship. This increases the function of the space and improves the utilization rate of the space.

The third is to set up the necessary workspace

If the indoor space is limited and there is no room for a study, or if you don't have a great need for a study, then setting up a work area is also necessary. Because the placement of books and the need for work are inevitable in our lives. At this time, you can set up a work area in a corner of the bedroom to make up for our necessary needs.

It is suggested that it is necessary to set up a study room, and set up a tasteful space at home. It not only improves the taste of life, but also provides a pure land in the impetuous society. It is also necessary for a person who constantly improves himself.
