Computer workstations are available in a variety of fabrications for students, often combining wood with metal for sleek and contemporary looks. Plain wood desk tops and keyboard pull outs can be painted to coordinate with a child's bedroom colour scheme. A great idea for a family project, consider involving your older student in the painting process!
Metal and wood shelving as well as bookcases, are practical study area accessories that also can be painted in colours that mimic the desk or echo other bedroom furnishings
such as bedside tables, chest of drawers and headboards/footboards.
Consider spray painting inexpensive mesh pencil holders and wastebaskets to further personalize and accentuate the modern edge contained within this study space vignette.
Providing ample storage and organization, large wall systems can incorporate side cabinets, adjustable
shelving and large, open style hutches to accommodate more than one students school necessities. Often available in natural wood as well as white or a solid coloured finish, these oversized units can make study time practical and accessible to multiple members within a family. An attractive way to customize this multi-family member space is with the use of painted baskets that neatly fit into any of the open shelving areas. Consider colour coding each basket according to each sibling who utilizes the study space. Or, spray paint the baskets using the most predominant colours that are contained in the room's colour scheme.
