Student Furniture - What is best for your room?

As a student in the US, finding accommodation is the easy part. There is a lot of help online to help you find a roommate or a cheap rental accommodation. However, the tougher part is to set up the place you move into, a comfy and welcoming space that would help you study and grow in your career.

Most college students spend a majority of their time in the room studying and without the right furniture, it can get tiring real soon! Students who sit on the bed and study are prone to dozing off and those who walk and read get tired too soon. Here is what you should have in your room as a student to help you study to the max potential.

Sturdy Study Desk

A good study desk is indispensable for studying long hours. Writing assignments or taking notes is a lot easier when you sit down at a desk and write. Do not go for a portable fold out desk. These move around a lot and will be a hindrance for your concentration. A sturdy desk that is of ideal dimension should be the key.

*Expert Tip: If your room is tight on space, go for a corner table that will help you liberate more space.

Comfy Chair

An ergonomic chair is very important to help you go for long hours without feeling tired. The chair should complement your desk – if you chair is good but is of the height that makes your desk unusable then it is not of any use! Your chair should also have the leeway to allow you to flex, stretch and relax. Go for a chair with arms – it will help reduce fatigue. Make sure the back of the chair is ventilated or has breathable fabric else you will be getting up more often that required.

*Expert Tip: Avoid chairs that have rollers! Though they might give you a lot of freedom to move around while sitting they are once again a source of distraction while studying.

Productive Desk Items

Productivity is the key word here! Yes, you can have a photo of loved ones in your desk or maybe even a parking slot for your phone but try and stack up as much as productive stuff on your desk as possible. A good lamp is indispensable. If you have a roommate and do not want to disturb during your late night marathons, a night lamp should come in handy.

A pen stand that has provisions to store pins, stapler, tags etc. will help you be organized. An alarm clock helps too! If you are running out of steam and need a quick nap, make sure that you set the alarm. There are nifty alarms that buzz during regular intervals. If you have the habit of nodding off midway through a chapter – this could be your life saver!
