How to find room to study in a busy home

Studying at home can be a challenge. Especially when you’re many sharing the same space. See how you can create study stations that let you keep your focus, wherever it’s needed.

Like full-size nest tables, a lower table with schoolwork comes out from under a dinner table with tableware about to be set.

Your study buddy on wheels

Set up a super mobile study station by collecting all you need on a chair that’s up for the job. With a laptop support to boot, you don’t even need a desk. Just take a seat and get to work.

A free-flowing desktop

Sometimes everyday life has you criss-crossing your home in search of free chair and table space. Collect your essentials – including drink and a snack for that precious pause – on a tray and you’re ready to go with the flow.

The disappearing workspace trick

When time and space are really limited, things may need to literally happen on top of each other. At mealtime, just slide your desk under the table (extra easy with adjustable legs) and join the family for dinner.
