Build the Ultimate Study Corner Before School Starts

Hey there! Nervous for the upcoming academic year? Or maybe you’re a workaholic and you’re excited to get started on the next school year? Either way, everyone knows that when the academic year starts again there will be a lot of studying to be done, whether you are in business or a STEM major. Studying can be done in many places, but if you’re an introvert like me then you’d prefer to study at home, in my room. As my room is the ultimate chamber of privacy, I find it easier to catch up and review for test materials when I’m alone in my own room. Many people often tell me that I’ll get distracted if I study or do homework in my bedroom, but I think that is why having a small corner of the room dedicated for productivity is very important.

This small corner of the room can’t just be any corner, it has to be inviting and pleasing, maybe romanticise studying a little. You can’t just throw books on a desk and office chair and suddenly it becomes your little productive spot (you can but let’s face it, who wants that?). At Ever Lasting, we believe more than just throwing things together to make something work, when you study it has to be comforting and inviting, your academics rely on constant discipline and practice, not stress. Which is why, we’ve prepared a guide for you today on how you can create the ultimate study corner before school starts.

Desk Lamps: Studying with Proper Lighting

Sometimes you might study until late into the night, which is why a proper lighting is beneficial for this. You want to use warm lighting so that it doesn’t strain your eyes as much, especially if you’ll be studying through the computer. But don’t be so hasty on just buying any lamp, this lamp needs to fit the aesthetics of your study corner while not being too distracting. In essence, a simplistic lamp that fits any occasion with warm lighting. In this way, it helps you focus and keeps your eyes healthy and peeled for that light night study session.

For better study sessions:

Study Better by Organising

Although organising can be tedious work (especially after a long day at school), it is always important to do so and a routine you cannot miss. Organising your homework and study notes are an essential part of being successful in academia, it not only helps you retain information better but also helps you stay on top of your tasks daily. One such way to organise your notes could be through the use of dividers. Using dividers on shelves mainly for the books and textbooks helps you make sure you’re not missing anything for the next day as it helps create a distinct difference between a math textbook and a science textbook. Furthermore, things such as baskets can help sort out loose paperwork when you colour code them, or perhaps you use them to hold some of your notebooks. We highly recommend that if you’re to choose a divider and basket that it should be of different colours as it will help you distinguish between each category. If you follow this advice then your study corner will not only be welcoming but also the perfect paradise for you to flourish in academia.

Try these for organising and studying:

Cozying up in the Corner

After all that studying, make sure that you take breaks in between. Remember that to retain information, one must take a moment to reflect upon them, this heavily applies with academia. If you’re in a cold weather country, we recommend that you find some warming blanket that fits with the general aesthetic of your study corner. At Ever Lasting, we have countless blankets, all warm enough and of variety to make sure it fits well into your study corner.

On the other hand, if you’re in a warmer climate, maybe a pillow to rest your head on would be great. If you have your own pillow, we have many options for you to consider in regards to pillowcases, from dark to light colours and a range of different aesthetics. But if you don’t have your own, worry not as we also sell our own pillows for you to choose from!

A Few More Details to Create the Perfect Study Corner

Now that we’ve gone over the basics of what should be included in your study corner, it’s time to talk about the more minor details. For example, should we have hangers for you to hang your coat and bag on when you arrive home from school? Would you have space for that? These are all questions that you need to think about. In this case we’re talking about your need for organisation and cleanliness. Of course having your coat and bag just be somewhere else could also be valid so that this corner is more of a strictly books and notes only area. However, maybe you want something more cozy to help you get into the mood of studying and doing homework, so you might think about adding some hangers or coasters for your late night coffee. Either way, remember that this is your study corner and it should be designed to best fit your needs while you are studying.
