Small space enclosed balcony ideas—setting up a study room

Out of all enclosed balcony ideas, making it your own little study room is perhaps one of the most productive. With the right set-up for sitting comfortably at your desk, it can become a great spot for clarity and focus that will show in your study results. Here are some easy tips and ideas.

A well-organized wall

In a small space, the trick is to use your wall space as much as possible. Wall cabinets give you plenty of storage that’s easy to access from your desk underneath—and there's still room in between for a storage system with shelves and pegboards. Now, just add the accessories and organizers you need.

Settle in with the right light

Natural light from outside often creates quite intense lighting conditions. Some blinds to control it and a proper work lamp for focused light around your desk is a good set-up. When you have a paper due, the lamp also helps you keep the midnight oil burning.

No such thing as too much storage

Using a storage system under your windows gives you lots of handy stow-away space. Not only can it keep things you need for studying close by and organized, but it also gives you more storage for your whole home. Boxes with lids help keep everything safe and dust free.

Clear air, clear head

When you’re sitting this close to the world outside, you might have to take the conditions out there into account—like air quality. An air purifier can be a good idea to filter out pollen or harmful particles from traffic emissions.
