Tips to Decorate your Study Room

Remember that you can liven up your paperwork storage with a fun, stylish box. It does not even cost much money either. All that is needed is a basic file box, some paint, decorative paper and file folders. You can paint the box anyway you fancy. Using painter's tape can help you create an interesting design. Also, the paper can easily add colour to an otherwise see-through box. In the end, you are able to successfully store all of your vital paperwork while still keeping a cool design fitting for the room's decor. 

We all need a positive and energizing environment to work or study. In a study room, you do not need a desk and chair only; there are endless other small things to keep in mind while decorating it.

Whether you fancy colours or are a minimalist, you should ideally give a touch of your personality to your study room.

Here are some easy tips to decorate your study room

Keep it organised

Make sure to separate the things as per their categories as this will make it easier for you to find them later. If you need to keep a lot of files, you can still use those typically bland-looking filing cabinets and give them a refresher with a chalkboard on the side. It lends a contemporary touch while also being useful since you can add messages as you see fit.

Inspiring wall decor

Some motivation on the wall is a great idea. You can opt for sleek and quirky graphic paintings, which complements the vibe of your room.

Add a dash of colour

While greys, whites and browns are very apt and sophisticated colour choices for the study area, an uninterrupted spread of these colours might be very boring too. It is a great idea to add a colour pop factor to the study room. You can try adding bright and vibrant table decor to jazz it up.

Light it up well

Your study room is going to be a place for all your productive work and it's best to add the right amount of light to the room for better working environment. Apart from the table lamp, also opt for ceiling lights that are beautiful and serve the functional purpose at the same time. You can also opt for sleek lights

Shelves are a necessity

While decorating your study room, ensure utmost storage space. Opting for shelves is therefore a good idea. Choose the right height and design that goes with the aesthetics of the room. Having very high shelves in a small room might make the study table area look dim or overwhelming.

Throw in some rugs

Rugs are an essential part for any room decor. They lend a cosy and comfortable touch. If you are all about simple and subtle then go for the furry rugs in lighter undertones to match the room. Else you can opt for bright lightweight rugs in bold geometrical patterns

Choose a theme

Do not try to accommodate multiple themes in one study room, as this will create a mess and might even make it look extremely cluttered. Go for one theme and try to keep it compact and minimal. However if you find this approach too boring you can go for a fusion look (where you essentially blend two themes and not multiple themes). Rustic and modern is one good blend, recommended by experts for the study area. You can stick to the rustic theme for the desk, and go for a stylish chair or even add a decorative rug underneath especially if you have hardwood floors.

Bring in some nature

Some greenery will help in accentuating the entire look of the room and make it look lively and attractive. Add one or two room plants in your study room. Choose plants that have more health benefits. You can choose to ass small planters to a corner too.

Choose a comfortable desk and chair

A comfortable desk and chair will help you increase your productivity. Choose the right one as per the desired height that you want and design. Go for sturdy material as they make them durable.

Opt for lighter shades

Don't go for darker shades when choosing your wall colour as lighter colours make the room look bigger and has the tendency to up your mood as well.

When more than one person in the house needs to work, it helps to have a two-person desk. These desks usually have attractive and sleek designs.

Not everyone has the means to devote an entire room to an office. If that is the case, then you can easily create a study space within another room especially if you have a section available that is in desperate need of being filled. You can find a fun desk to match the theme of the room so the study area won't stand out too much. If the office space is just for you, then you should not have anything too wide or long. Nonetheless, you should place smaller decor items like a stylish lamp or something to store your supplies in.

A few things to keep in mind:

Not all study room decor has to focus purely on the desk set up. It is important to remember that storage space is just as vital no matter what you are using the room for.

Moreover if you have a solid white desk, consider using a similar coloured bookshelf-like item. You don't even have to use it for all of your storage items. If you want to, you can always use any extra empty shelves for decorative items that still fit into the theme of the room. You can even consider shelving with an open-back design if you have a white-painted wall as it helps the item to blend into the environment.

Among the best study room design ideas is finding a multifunctional desk that doesn't involve having shelves on top of the desk to use. Instead, focus on the drawers in this situation. Drawer space allows you to toss in what you need so that you can immediately reach for it. Not only that but if you have a larger drawer on the bottom, you can use it as a cabinet to hide away a printer. This is perfect as it keeps a bulky or otherwise non-appealing printer out of sight so it does not interfere with the overall decor you have planned out. All that is seen instead is a gorgeous and bright-looking desk that is well-organised and not off-put by a printer that doesn't match the colour scheme.
