Design ideas for study room
Wondering if anyone can provide advice of how I should set out my study room?
The room sits directly off our front door entry way and you can walk through the room to access the internal garage door(white) and can walk through to dining room.
Dimensions of the room are 2.7m wide x 5.2m long. The white wall opposite the windows is approx 3m long.
I want to have a work station desk to fit 2 people so thinking my only option is to have a long desk built along the 3m white wall. Appreciate any other ideas though! Thanks.

Help to design/build a kids study room / retreat for 4 kids !!
Comments (3)Hi Cindy, I would suggest to really describe what your kids needs are - are they in primary school, high school or university? From there, you can work out their IT requirements and styling. Also, as bigreader has suggested, outline the area you are working with to help decide what you can fit in the space. In general, I would suggest to make it inviting space (maybe with bean bags). Something they can enjoy and feel like is there own space. Styling and colours should reflect what they like (again, all these things are age dependant). Below are a few of my own examples. The top one is a study nook adjacent to a retreat area (an open are with a TV) used by the entire family. The last photo is integrated into a teenagers bedroom. Good luck!...See Morelooking for small L shaped study/bedroom ideas
Comments (9)still not clear about the shape of the space...please show a plan including surrounding rooms and measurements of each wall...if the space has no doors what side is open, what room is it open to, what size bed needs to be accommodated, what study equipment will be used...a small convertible sofa could just squeeze into the space with a coffee table, laptop an s some shelves?...See MoreDesign ideas for new kitchen, dinning and study nook needed
Comments (9)I would suggest you do not make the area open plan. You should make the dining room a dedicated home office/study area. You could install desks and plenty of bookshelves for storage. Sort through all your stuff and try to make the family room and dining table for eating, not stationery. You could definitely make the corner where the bookcase is, into a study area as well....See Moreshelving ideas for study
Comments (8)Can you find the desk with all the greenery? Looks lovely. Maybe some other colours on the shelves to pop. Lovely room! :) Margot...See More- PRO

5 years agoHi Des, you could put the study desk along the wall with the windows. The desk could be the same height as your middle window frame. You could incorporate drawers under the desk for storage. Then have storage, either open or enclosed on wall that is visible from front door.

5 years agoIn my home office, I managed to find a buffet that was the right height for two shelves of A4 files. It looks like a normal buffet, but is my storage for papers and files. Maybe you could incorporate something like this on the wall that is visible from front door.

5 years agoI would have the desks across the windows with a set of draws between them and open shelves on the wall above the drawers. That lovely Amoire is a great screen from the front door for the desk. The lounge to stretch out on when needing to read something.
Much nicer to have a view from your desk instead of looking at a wall. both windows can have internal timber shutters or blinds for privacy. cheers
