How to create a productive study space at home

Work a little focus pocus

Whether you’re settling into a dorm or staying at home, you’re going to need a space where you can deal with that full course load and actually get some work done. Set yourself up for success this semester with some simple solutions from IKEA that can help you keep comfortable and stay focused — even through those all-nighters.

Class-y and cozy

Get a desk that’s just right for you. Whether you prefer to sit or stand, a SKARSTA desk can work with you, easily adjustable to your preference. 

Study support

Choose a chair that will have your back. LÅNGFJÄLL chairs can be configured with or without armrests and come in a variety of colours.

Keep yourself in the zone by blocking out sound and distractions with some low-key music.

Here’s a bright idea

Proper lighting is key. And no, your laptop screen doesn’t count.  Keeping your workspace bright helps you stay alert and prevents eye-strain.

Get Sorted

Keep a clutter free surface space with a desk organizer, drawer unit or wall storage.

Go phone-free

Tuck your phone away during work time to avoid distraction.
