Small space balcony ideas – setting up a study room
Out of all balcony ideas, making it your own little study room is perhaps one of the most productive. With the right set-up for sitting comfortably at your desk, it can become a great spot for clarity and focus that will show in your study results. Here are some easy tips and ideas.
A well-organised wall
In a small space, the trick is to use your wall space as much as possible. Cabinets up top give you plenty of storage that’s easy to access from your desk underneath – still there’s room in between for a storage system with shelves and pegboards. Now, just add the accessories and organisers you need.
Settle in with the right light
The balcony is a space where the natural light from outside often creates quite intense light conditions. Some blinds to control it and a proper work lamp for focused light around your desk is a good set-up. When you have a paper due, the lamp also helps you keep the midnight oil burning.
No such thing as too much storage
Using the wall under your windows for a storage system gives you lots of handy stow-away space. Not only keeping stuff related to your studies well-organised, but also relieving your whole home from stuff. Boxes with lids help keep everything safe and dust free.
Clear air, clear head
When you’re sitting this close to the world outside, you might have to take the conditions out there into account – like air quality. An air purifier can be a good idea to filter out pollen or harmful particles from traffic emissions.
