Does the study room have to be independent? How to design a study room that is not independent?

We all know that many people will set up a study room at home when decorating their house, especially young office workers or people with a sense of romance. There are many designs of study rooms on the market, and different study rooms will have different decoration effects. So does the study room have to be independent? Let's take a closer look!

Does the study room have to be independent?

The study room does not have to be independent, it can also be in the following ways:

1. The study room is integrated with the living room

There are many ways to set up a study room in the living room. You can set up a partition in the space, using one side as the living room and the other side as the study room. They maintain a commonality while also having their own relatively independent space.

A wall full of bookcases is set up on one side of the living room. The sofa + bookcase is a great leisure reading area. For families who like to read, this place can be called a "study room". The dining table is close and can be used as a desk.

Or you can just place the desk "behind" the sofa. The sofa will have a "backbone" and the study will also have its own place...

2. Study room integrated with dining room

It is also a good idea to transform the dining space into a "two-in-one" study. The dining table is a ready-made "desk". Storage partitions or bookcases are set on the wall on one side of the desk, and the dining room can also be used as a study.

3. Study room integrated with bedroom

It is also a common practice to set up a "study room" in the bedroom, because the bedroom is a relatively private space and will be relatively quiet. If the bedroom space is small, you can set up a desk on the side of the bedside or on the wall on the side of the bed or on the wall at the end of the bed. I suggest adding a floor lamp or a small table lamp, so that you don't disturb the rest of another person because of the lighting.

If the bedroom space is large, you can use partitions or bookshelves to "divide" the space and use one side as a study. This way, the larger bedroom becomes layered and avoids disturbing another person's rest.

4. Use the balcony as a study

The balcony is a "treasure area" of the family space. The balcony connected to the living room or bedroom can be used as a variety of functional spaces, including a study. A desk is set on the shorter side of the balcony wall, and a small bookshelf is set above the desk, and a small study can be formed, which is large enough for one person to use.

A desk is placed on the wall on the larger side of the balcony, and bookcases are placed on the smaller walls on both sides, and you will have a study room that is large enough for two people.

How to design an independent study room

It would be great to have an independent study room at home, because the current high housing prices make many people dare not even dream of having an independent study room with original configuration. But it doesn’t matter, because through decoration, many locations can be made into study rooms, and some locations can even be regarded as independent study rooms!

1. Balcony-style study room

If a family in urgent need lacks an independent study room, or if it is inconvenient for children to do homework without a desk, then they can use the balcony and convert it into an independent study room. The air is good, the light is bright, and when they are tired, they can look into the distance to relieve fatigue. The independent space is conducive to thinking and learning.

When transforming a balcony into an independent study room, you must pay attention to sun protection and install curtains to prevent furniture from aging and extend its service life. You can also install sliding doors and air conditioners to achieve sound insulation and cooling.

2. Bay window study

It is normal for a small apartment to not have a study room, but don’t worry, because a suitable improved bay window desk can realize the function of a study room, combining the bay window with the work and study area, so that it can become a small study room for work and study, saving space while also enhancing the design sense of the room.

A bay window study can be said to solve the problem of not having a study at home, or if there are two small children in the family, then the bay window study can be utilized and converted into a desk, which will make it easy for the two children to read and do homework.

3. Tatami-style study room

Tatami is widely recognized in China, mainly because it can play a big role in a small space while taking into account its multifunctionality. Designing the bedroom into a tatami combination room, integrating tatami bed, wardrobe, desk, and bookshelf into one, it is very easy to design a tatami-style study room.

A tatami room usually has an extended bookcase and desk. This design makes the bedroom more practical while also serving as a study. Although it cannot be considered an independent study, it has the functions of a study and is extremely practical.

Therefore, it is best if the study room at home can be independent, but it does not matter if it cannot be an independent study room, as long as it can function as a study room to meet the needs of home life.

What are the types of study rooms?

1. Invisible Study

As long as you want, you can choose the way you like to read anywhere at home

2. Semi-open study room

If you can't split a room to make a study, you can choose a semi-open one, in the corner of the living room or the corner of the dining room and kitchen, or in the bedroom by the French window to put bookshelves and desks, which can also coexist harmoniously with the space at home.

3. Independent study room

Independent study rooms are less affected by other rooms, and are more efficient in study and work. They are also suitable for book collection, work and study.
