Each child needs a place in the apartment where he can do homework and do creative work. In fact, this is his home office. This is not only a workplace, but also a space for relaxation and development. Therefore, the arrangement of the corner of the student is an important issue. Parents should pay maximum attention to this.
Location selection
The corner of the student (photo below) is necessary for every child. He is not only his workplace, but also a personal space for relaxation and leisure.
From how comfortable the child will feel in his “office”, his mood and mental health depend. In addition, physical and mental development depends on the correct arrangement of the corner. All this should be taken into account by parents, realizing the importance of the proper conduct of the arrangement process.
You can create a corner in almost any, even the smallest apartment. To do this, you just need to properly plan the space and select all the necessary furniture. This place must include a table, shelves, bedside tables and an armchair or chair. It can be equipped in the nursery, in the hall, on the ground floor of the bunk bed or even on the insulated balcony.
Lighting
First of all, when choosing a place, the presence of natural light is taken into account. Equipping the corner of the student, the table must be placed at the window. If the child is right-handed, the natural light source should be located on the left, and if the left-handed person should be on the right of the desk. If there are two students in the family and there is no way to create a separate place for work and creativity for each, you should do differently. In this case, the table will have to be set in front of the window so that both children are provided with normal lighting.
You also need to choose the right lamp. Doctors recommend installing diffused ceiling lighting above the corner. A few small lamps on the ceiling above the table will not strain the student’s eyes too much. In addition, a table lamp should be used. It should give a bright enough, but diffused light. To install a desk lamp should be on the side of the student’s writing hand (right-handed people on the left, left-handed people on the right).
The role of color
To create an atmosphere conducive to a calm and focused work of the child, you should carefully consider the interior of the room. The influence of color on the mental and emotional well-being of a person is confirmed by numerous medical studies, so this factor cannot be ignored.
Most often, experts recommend using green to decorate the corner of the student. It creates an atmosphere of peace, but it does not suppress the positive energy of a person. This shade adjusts to the working mood. However, the abuse of green can lead to excessive relaxation of the student, which will lead to a deterioration in his performance. Therefore, it is important to know the measure and organically combine the shade with other paints.
The yellow effect on a person is estimated by doctors as enhancing physical and intellectual activity. This is just what the student needs during class. It is also not worth using yellow color, using it on a large area - on the walls or ceiling. It is better to use it in furniture and various interior details.
Of course, there are many other colors and shades that can be used in the design. It is important to consider both the wishes of the child and the taste of the parents. The main thing is that the color scheme of the children's “study” does not tire its owner and sets it up for work.
Furniture requirements
In a student’s corner, furniture should be chosen from safe materials. In this regard, natural arrays are preferable, but they are too expensive. Therefore, a compromise can be furniture made of chipboard - it is reliable and safe.
Do not buy a table, chairs defiant colors. It is worth giving preference to furniture in soothing colors or imitating the structure of natural wood.
Preference should be given to modular products, the arrangement of which can be changed depending on the changing needs of the child. Currently, the production offers many design options.
For example, the corner of the schoolboy "Omega" is available in various versions. The simplest varieties include a workplace and sections for storing textbooks, writing instruments. More advanced options are a corner with a bed and various wardrobes or racks.
Desk
The main element of the interior is the desk when decorating the corner of the student. It should be chosen according to the height of the child. In order not to change the furniture as the baby grows up, it is worth buying a table with legs that change height. Today, there are many models of similar products.
It makes sense to purchase a computer desk instead of a written one. Its free surface area should be sufficient. On the countertop, along with a computer or laptop, a notebook, an open textbook and accessories should be freely placed. In no case should the child's elbows hang down from the table.
Traditionally, the desk is supposed to be placed by the window. If the area of the apartment is not too large, you can put it under the attic bed. In a one-room apartment, you can hide it behind a false partition, wall or sofa. It is also possible to use a folding table, but in this case you need to create a convenient place to store educational supplies. It can be a shelf or window sill.
Armchair
A very important role in the arrangement is the choice of a chair or chair, sitting in which the child will spend more than one hour. Therefore, you need to choose it carefully and responsibly, not guided by the appearance and design refinements, but first of all, by comfort for the child.
The ideal option is a transforming chair, which allows you to adjust the height and depth of landing, as well as the angle of inclination of the back. The child is growing rapidly. Changing these chair parameters in accordance with the growth, you can avoid many health problems. Among them, scoliosis is not the last.
Auxiliary furniture
From an early school age, a child should be accustomed to maintaining order in their workplace. This helps to focus and study more efficiently, without being distracted by the search for the right subjects. That is why the corner must be equipped with a bedside table or even a cabinet with many drawers and shelves for storing books, notebooks, stationery and other necessary things.
It is also good to hang open shelves on the wall next to the desk. Auxiliary furniture serves to organize a rational workspace, therefore the main criterion for its selection and placement is ease of use. This furniture should be located, as they say, "at hand", within the reach of the student.
Today, furniture for children can consist of many sections. The corner of the schoolboy with a bed is popular. This saves space in a small room.
The value of the corner in the life of a child
The arrangement of the corner of the student depends on many factors. This is affected by the size and layout of the apartment, the child’s own room. Also, when arranging a workplace, the number of children, the material capabilities of the family, etc. are taken into account. The necessary minimum furniture for the student in any apartment is a desk, chair or chair and hanging shelves or modules for storing educational supplies.
In the presence of suitable conditions, the best arrangement option is modular designs that stylistically combine a study area, a sleeping place, shelves or cabinets for clothes and toys, as well as storage space for school supplies.
The arrangement of the corner is a very important issue. Indeed, physical and psychological health, as well as emotional well-being, depend on how comfortable the child will feel while studying. A properly organized space allows you to maintain health, learn the school curriculum well, be successful in school and achieve high life results. Therefore, parents should approach the equipment of the corner of the student with all responsibility.
