Once your child starts school, several changes are required in his room’s layout. A study place is a must, a place where the little scholar can prepare for school, learn and do his homework.
The study area should be near the window so that his arm won’t place a shadow on the books in front of him. Accordingly to this rule, if we are talking about a right-handed child, the light must be on his left, and if talking about a left-handed child, the light must be on his right. It goes without saying that the furniture must include a desk and small cabinets as well as a small bookcase.
For optimal use of space, the study table or desk should be at least 24x35” with adjustable height and inclination and drawers to deposit books, paper, pens and other school items. For this same purpose, the chair must fit the little scholar NOW and be adjustable for future growth.
Natural lighting must be supplemented or maintained by a local light. The desk should have a lamp with an adjustable arm, placed in such a way that it can focus the light precisely to the point where it is needed.
If your child has a monitor and CPU, an “L” shaped desk allows a good position for the computer, with the monitor on one side in the corner. Be careful because the distance from the monitor and to the eyes of the person using the computer has to be 20– 28 inches. To better respect this distance, some desks are equipped with a special space for the monitor, positioned a little higher than the actual desk. The nice thing about a laptop is that as long as there’s room on a table, no special equipment is necessary.
