There is a direct relationship between the effectiveness of a child’s learning and the convenience of his workplace. Moreover, the health of the baby’s vision and spine depends on furniture and lighting. Organize and create design working area In the children's room, our step-by-step help with a selection of 30 photo examples will help you correctly. The material will be useful to both parents of first-graders and students of junior and senior classes.

Step 1. Choose a place and plan the arrangement of furniture

First of all, you need to decide where and how it will stand desk. The workplace should be isolated from the play area, and most importantly, located near the window. Below in the photo you can see an example of zoning a children's room into study and living parts with a closet.

The ideal position of the table is when its left end faces the window, if the child is right-handed. And the right side - if you are left-handed. In this case, it is desirable that the wall is behind your back and not in front of your eyes.

Another good option is to position the workplace along the window and so that the child sits facing it. How to place two workstations in one room? Here are some options for arranging furniture:

• Single-row layout (two tables stand side by side in one row, which can be interrupted by furniture or aisle);
• Parallel (two tables stand opposite each other, next to each other or at a distance, the guys can sit with their faces or backs to each other);
• L-shaped layout (one L-shaped table or two tables arranged accordingly can be used).

In the following selection of photos you can see examples of the design of children's workspaces for two children.

Step 2. Select a table

An important criterion for choosing a study table is the correct dimensions.

• The basic principle for selecting the height of the table is as follows: the tabletop should be a couple of centimeters below chest level so that the child can easily rest his elbows on it without slouching or swinging his elbows up.

If the baby’s height is less than 120 cm, then the height of the table top should be no more than 52 cm. If the height is 120-150 cm, a table with a height of 52-61 cm is suitable. A child can start using a standard “adult” table with a height of 75 cm when he grows to 150 cm.

The ideal desk for a student is a transformable desk with adjustable height and a tabletop tilt of 15° (pictured below). You can use this “transformer” for a long time, changing the height as the child grows.

What should be the depth and length of the tabletop? The depth should be 50-60 cm. The length of a single table should be at least 60 cm for a student junior classes and 80 cm – for a teenage high school student. Accordingly, a double table for two children should have a length of 120 cm, 140 cm or 160 cm.

• By the way, for older children you need to choose a table of such length that in addition to notebooks and textbooks, it can accommodate a laptop or, say, a printer. For example, the table can be double or simply slightly increased in length and depth, so that the laptop can be put aside during lessons. Another option is an L-shaped table, the short side of which is intended for working with a laptop/placing a printer. To place a laptop computer, it is better to buy a separate table with a retractable panel for the keyboard.

As for materials, it is better to choose a wooden or metal table for a children's work area. A table made of laminated chipboard with formaldehyde emission class E1 is also a good economical option, which will work as a temporary solution until the child grows up for an “adult” table. But from the tables with glass table top It’s better to refuse - they are too noisy, slippery, cold and seem fragile.

When choosing the design and design of a study table, it is best not to experiment and buy a standard rectangular or L-shaped desk on 4 legs with or without a back panel.

There should always be on the table:

• Desk lamp;
• Organizer for pens and stationery;
• Clock to take ten-minute breaks once an hour;
• Bookend.

And under the table you can allocate space for a trash can.

Step 6. Add a little coziness

The work area by the window in the nursery, photos and videos of which you will see below, very often seduces parents. They are guided by the fact that natural light is much safer for vision.

No light bulb will provide such high-quality lighting as natural sunlight.

And the lack of daylight is especially acute for children.

• Has a beneficial effect on the nervous system;
• Ensures the production of vitamin D in the body;
• Maintains visual acuity;
• Activates the body's internal, natural clock;
