How to design a study room that is more durable and practical? What aspects can be started from the decoration of the study room?

We all know that the study is a common place and an important place for study and work, so many people will spend a lot of time decorating the study. The layout and decoration style of the study are different, and the effect is also different. So how to decorate and design the study? Let's take a closer look!

How to decorate and design the study room

1. Determine the type of study room your family needs

The study is not as "simple" as everyone imagines. In addition to the more familiar "formal" study that is mainly used for work, there is also a "leisure" study that is mainly used for leisure and reading, a "study" study that is mainly for children, a "play" study that is mainly for children, and a "reception" study that is mainly for meeting guests... Only by "finding" the type of study that the home needs according to the family's functional needs, personal preferences, and family members can there be a more suitable study design.

2. Understand the design methods of study rooms in different spaces and find the most suitable "place" for study rooms in the home

Break your inherent thinking about the study room. It does not just exist in an "independent room". Various space design methods allow you to see the "other side" of the study room...

⑴ Design method of study room in living room

① Independent study. If the living room space allows, use glass partition walls to build an independent room for study. Due to the "separation without interruption" feature of glass, while increasing the use function, it maintains a good "sense of integrity" in the living room, does not make the living room feel cramped due to the "reduction" of the area, and "adds" layers to the family space.

② "Semi-separated" study. Use partitions to "separate" the living room into "two" connected spaces. One side is used as a study, while the other side is still used as a living room. The study and the living room form a "semi-separated" state, which has both the "integration" of the space and their own "independent" space.

③ "Fusion-style" study room. Choose one side of the wall to set up a bookcase. The sofa + bookcase will make the living room a very good "fusion-style" study room. This is a good way for families who like to read.

Place the desk directly behind the sofa, so that the sofa has a "backbone" and the study room has its own place.

④Multi-functional study room. The living room is large, so the sofa is placed a distance away from the wall, and a bookcase is set on the wall "behind" the sofa. The "free area" between the bookcase and the sofa is left for children to play and read.

⑵ Design method of study room in restaurant

In my opinion, because the dining room has a dining table that can be used as a desk, it is a more suitable space to be used as a study. By adding bookcases or storage partitions to the wall, the space for a study can be created.

In addition to storing books, storage partitions or bookcases can also be used as sideboards, display cabinets, etc. They are also great for placing or storing tableware, utensils, and decorations, achieving "multiple uses for one thing."

If you don't want the study to overshadow the restaurant, choose a small sideboard with storage function that matches the restaurant's decoration style, and "restrain" the "high profile" of the books by placing them in a more hidden location. This way, the study can be "hidden" in the restaurant, thus retaining a more complete restaurant effect.

⑶ Design method of study room in independent room

① An independent study room with a smaller space. If there is an independent room in the house that can be used as a study room, and if the space is small, you can choose to remove one side of the wall and design the study room into an "open" style, which can effectively reduce the cramped and oppressive feeling of the space; add a partition of suitable width and in line with the decoration style to increase the decorativeness of the space, so that the study room has a certain degree of independence.

② "Completely independent" study room. In a "completely independent" study room (the room has a door), the relationship between the desk and the bookcase can be roughly divided into several forms: the desk is set in front of the bookcase, the bookcase is set on one side or both sides of the desk, and the bookshelf is set on the wall "above" the desk. Among them, the setting method of setting the desk in front of the bookcase requires a larger space and is easy to create a high-end and atmospheric effect; the other two methods require relatively small space.

③ "Leisure-style" independent study room. Use a leisure sofa + bookcase layout design in the study room to reduce or even eliminate the setting of desks and improve the comfort of reading.

⑷ Study design method with other functions

① The study room and the reception room are "integrated". The study room and the reception room are "integrated". You can choose to set up a booth or a small area of ​​tatami or add a leisure chair in the study room for reception.

②Study room and bedroom are “integrated”. It is also a common way to “integrate” the study room with the children’s room, the second bedroom or the guest bedroom. If the bedroom space is small, you can set up a desk + bookshelf on the side of the bed head or the wall on the side of the bed or the wall at the end of the bed to save space. Adding a floor lamp or table lamp can effectively avoid disturbing the rest of another person.

If the bedroom space is large, you can use partitions or bookshelves to divide the space into two, with one side used as a study. This layout design will add a sense of hierarchy to the larger space and avoid disturbing another person's rest.

⑸ Design method of "corner" study room

Sometimes all we need at home is a small reading area, or there is no "extra" space at home to provide for a study. At this time, we can choose a "corner" study, which is more flexible and can make better use of the space.

① Design a "corner" study room on the balcony. The balcony in the home is a space that can be set up with multiple functions, and the "corner" study room can also be "at ease" here.

A desk is set against the "short side" wall of the balcony, and storage partitions are set above the desk as bookshelves, thus forming a small study room that is large enough for one person.

A desk is set up against the "long side" wall of the balcony. The "full-length" desk is large enough for two people to use at the same time, making full use of the balcony space. It would be a good way for families with two people who need to use a desk. Moreover, bookcases can be set up at the "two ends" of the desk to meet the needs.

Just set up a bookcase on one side of the wall and pair it with a leisure chair, and this will become a "leisure-style" study room in your home.

② Design a "corner" study room in the corridor. Often, people are troubled by the "long" corridor design at home. It would be a waste to just decorate it. Adding a "corner" study room design can not only enrich the space, but also make the corridor more "full".

If the width of the corridor allows (I think it needs to be at least 1500mm), you can "move" the study room directly here and set up a desk + bookshelf to meet basic needs; if you use the "embedded" wall design of a desk + bookshelf, it will not only not make the corridor crowded, but will give the corridor a sense of depth and layering.

Tips: If you want to set up a desk + bookshelf in the corridor, it doesn’t matter if the corridor is not wide enough. If the wall can be demolished and modified, you can move the wall into the room to the required size of the desk or bookcase, which will make the corridor more "spacious".

If the corridor is narrow and you don’t want to make a big fuss, just a few storage partitions will do. The unintentional design creates an “encounter” with it. When you pass by, you can pick up your favorite book and walk to a cozy corner to spend an afternoon quietly! If it is used as a reading corner for children, pay attention to the height of the storage partitions.

③ Design a "corner" study room in the corner. The corner of the house is also a place that cannot be "missed". With a few storage partitions, a leisure sofa or a pillow, a comfortable "corner" study room can be formed!

It is also good to use it as a reading corner for children to cultivate their interest in reading and the habit of organizing and summarizing, and reading materials will no longer be thrown around!

④ Design a "corner" study room in the "recessed" area. The "recessed" area in the home is a place that is easily "overlooked", or it is "filled" with some unnecessary items, or it is left idle and "useless". The "encounter" with the "corner" study room is a good opportunity for it to "show its skills".

The depth of the "recessed" area is used to set up a booth + bookshelf design. The bookshelf does not need to be too large when placed on the booth, as long as it is sufficient for use, leaving more space for the booth to ensure its comfort. Ceiling lamps or wall lamps are set up to increase the decorative effect while allowing you to read quietly at night, accompanied by moonlight, without any disturbance...

By setting up a bookshelf in the "recessed" area and pairing it with a leisure chair and a floor lamp, a casual and comfortable "corner-style" study can be created. Exquisitely designed floor lamps or leisure chairs are also "good things" to enhance the sense of luxury of the space.

⑤ Design a "corner" study room under the stairs. The area under the stairs is a "treasure area" that people are gradually paying attention to. In addition to being a "powerful" storage space, it is also a good space for setting up a "corner" study room.

Assuming the size under the stairs allows (because in general the width of a home desk is more comfortable between 400 and 600 mm, so the width of the desk needs to be considered when setting up a desk under the stairs), setting up a desk + storage partition is a more practical mode. Set the storage partition on one side of the wall above the desk, and the "small and cute" size can also meet basic usage.

Set up a storage cabinet + storage compartment mode to enrich the use of the space under the stairs. The storage cabinet with doors does not need to worry about the mess of stored items "interfering" with the environment and atmosphere of the space; and the open storage compartment is used as a small bookshelf, which is very practical when paired with a leisure chair or booth.

⑥ Design a "corner" study room at the window position. The window is the main "channel" for the home to "connect" with the outdoors, and the junction of "virtual and real" is the Shuimuqinghua scattered in the home...

In my opinion, the window position is a "place" that cannot be missed in setting up a "corner" study room. You only need to set up a storage partition of a certain thickness (usually about 400mm) on one or both sides of the window as a bookshelf, and add a pillow, and a "corner-type" study room can be formed; and the "integrated" design of the bookshelf and the wall with the same material and color will also make the space have a good sense of extension, regularity and neatness; if the space area allows, add a suitable desk style according to functional requirements, and the function of the "small study room" will be more complete...

⑦ Design a "corner" study room at the doorway. Find a suitable design method for a desk or bookcase, and the doorway can also become a "corner" study room. Use a combination of "vertical" bookcase + desk. Since the "vertical" bookcase "borrows" the size of the layer height, even if the width is narrow, it can meet the basic storage needs and can better fit the limitations of the doorway width; although the width of the desk is the same as the bookcase, it will have better "integration", but it must also be based on the usability of the desk. The width of the desk is generally between 400 and 600 mm, which needs attention.

The "open window" on the wall that the desk is against can effectively reduce the sense of cramped and oppressive feeling caused by the small width of the door, and can also add a better sense of layering and transparency to the home space.

⑧ "Casual" "corner" study design. Sometimes a "corner" study does not need to be carefully decorated. Just bring a pillow and a few books, "follow your heart and be content", find your own comfortable corner at home, and you can have a peaceful and fulfilling day...

3. Understand how to set up the desk so that the study space can be fully utilized without being crowded.

⑴ Desk "one-line" setting

The desk can be placed in a straight line in the space, either against a wall or against an object (for example, the desk can be placed directly "behind" the sofa). When the bookshelf is placed above the desk, the space requirements are lower, and it only needs to meet the width of the bookcase + the normal activity size of the seat position (I think it is around 2000mm).

⑵ Desk "corner type" setting

If space permits, use the walls or objects on both sides of the desk to set up the "corner" mode. This method can accommodate two or more people at the same time, and sometimes a family of three or four can use it at the same time.

⑶ Desk "vertical" setting

The desk is placed vertically against a wall or object, and the bookcase is placed in front of, behind or above the desk. This method is also more space-saving and only requires the length of the desk + the passable dimension between the desk and the wall or object.

⑷ Desk "off-wall" setting

The desk is placed away from the wall in front of the bookcase, which requires a larger study space. The thickness of the bookcase + the width of the desk + the size that a person can move freely in the seat position + the passable size between the desk and the wall or object is generally around 2.6m (the size will vary depending on the placement of the bookcase, desk and other items).

4. Create an environmental atmosphere

In terms of creating the environment and atmosphere, different types of study rooms have different atmospheres. Since "formal" and "reception" study rooms are mainly used for work, I think their atmospheres can be more serious and neat, with large areas of neutral colors or cool colors combined with small areas of warm colors; "leisure" and "playful" study rooms are mainly comfortable and relaxed, and I think the use of colors can be more casual...

The environment of the "study-style" study room for children can be more relaxed and cheerful, and the colors can be warmer to reduce the children's learning pressure; a chair that children like can increase the attractiveness of the study room and enhance children's interest in learning...

5. Lighting design

I think reasonable lighting design is necessary for a study room, because in addition to improving the environmental effect, its more practical function is to protect the eyes, especially in a study room used by children.

⑴The top surface uses a main light design

A chandelier that matches the decoration style of the space will bring more decoration to the space, but it will reduce the neatness of the space to a certain extent. A low floor height will also increase the sense of oppression in the space. Ceiling lamps can add some layering to the ceiling while ensuring the floor height as much as possible.

⑵The top surface uses a design without main lights

Downlights + light strips or just downlights will increase the sense of openness of the space and easily create a grand and neat environment for the study.

⑶Set up lighting on the bookcase

Setting up lights on bookcases can not only create a better environmental effect and increase the decorativeness of the bookcases, but also to a certain extent reduce the sense of oppression caused by large bookcases to the space, and reduce the sense of oppression brought by the bookcases above the desk.

Tips: The width of the ready-made desks commonly used in households is about 400 to 600 mm, and the length is about 800 to 1600 mm. The size of the customized desks is selected according to personal living habits, the area of ​​the space, and usage needs. The height of the desks used by children needs to be adjusted as they grow older.

Common design of study room

First, independent study room

For residents with ample space in their homes, it would be perfect to set up a study in a corner of the house.

Use simple and elegant colors to establish the style of the study, customize a desk and chair, bookcase of appropriate size according to the house type, place office and reading supplies on them, and install a lamp with appropriate lighting to create a quiet and beautiful study atmosphere.

Second, open study room

The open design is more suitable for small apartments with a small area. It can effectively improve the lighting and ventilation effects, making the visual sense of the space more transparent. In the open design, the study can be used as a partition, which can achieve a good dividing effect.

Third, you can set up functional areas in the study

1. Living Room

As the center of the entire apartment, the living room not only occupies a large area, but also serves as an important link to other functional areas. Setting up a simple study behind the sofa background wall in the living room or in the balcony area can expand the function of the living room and make the visual effect of the living room richer.

2. Bedroom

Bay windows often appear together with bedroom designs. At this time, you can transform the bay window into a study room by adding and extending the bay window countertop, customizing a suitable desk and chair, and matching it with suitable curtains to create a small world that belongs only to you.

3. Restaurant

If a house uses the bar as a dining table, you can clean the countertop after dining and use the bar as a temporary study room with appropriate lighting fixtures to read and study without taking up any space.

Study room design style

1. Petty bourgeoisie

The petty bourgeoisie is everywhere, with delicate fence-shaped partitions that seem to be there and not there, the ingenious seamless rebound door, the special-shaped inclined door panels that represent the pinnacle of craftsmanship, and the contrasting colors of various patterns. The seemingly low-key bookcase is actually showing off its taste and economic strength. This is the ultimate secret of petty bourgeoisie, low-key showing off!

2. Chinese

Every uncle who advocates Chinese style may be an uncle wearing Tai Chi clothes and pushing hands silently on the roadside, or a master who is playing with walnuts with a patina for ten years, or a leader with a beer belly who is not exposed, but they must have a happy and harmonious family behind them. Because without a good mentality, it is impossible to bring the new Chinese style to its extreme! Owning a new Chinese style study is a symbol of your social status!

3. Modern

If the petty bourgeoisie study belongs to the department manager, then this modern study must belong to the overbearing president. He does not need gorgeous colors to show his status, but only needs to use the cold texture of the study to tell you - don't try to fool this president, if your performance does not meet the standard this month, you are out!

4. Girls

Why do the study rooms mentioned above belong to men? Can't we girls have our own study rooms? Of course, girls' study rooms belong to white-collar workers, and the style is mainly Nordic pastoral style. White-collar workers who package themselves as invulnerable often like low-key and elegant pearl white as their favorite study room color. Because pearl powder is added to the white finish, there is a light pearlescent luster of color refraction. This pearlescent luster is the light of inspiration for them to write late at night!

They like glass cabinet doors, which can decorate their mood for the day, and they also like open cabinet structures, which symbolize their changeable mentality. If you can give them some decorations to decorate their study, then you will become their good friend.

5. Simplicity

Simple-minded programmers like this kind of study room the most. The open structure + aluminum-framed glass door allows the entire interior of the bookcase to be seen at a glance, just as clear and concise as their codes. Of course, many programmers do not have the ability to streamline their codes. This is just their ideal state.

Most of the time they don't have a study room, and the subway station, bus station, and canteen steps are all good places for them to work. The study room is more of a place to store their falling hair.

6. Be funny

A bright bookcase, who does it belong to? Funny lines, bohemian appearance, beveled metal handles, matched with wood grain backboard, what kind of person do you think would like this study? Tell Xiao Zuo in the comment area and let Xiao Zuo help find its final owner!
