As one of the most important layout spaces in the study, the placement of the desk and bookcase directly affects the experience. Combined with many years of experience in decoration, today we share the advantages and disadvantages of five common layout and applicable scenes to help you avoid the pit of “randomly placed”, so that the small space can be efficient and comfortable. If you want to learn more about the tips,the best way is to visit Furniture China Expo.

First, the front and back away from the type: the atmosphere through the “classic model”  

The core of this layout is the desk and bookcase parallel separation, forming a “before and after” relationship.

Commonly two models:  

One is “desk in front, bookcase in the back” of the linear - desk can “float” in the middle of the room (not against the wall), can also be a side of the short side of the light against the wall, the bookcase is stable back against the Another wall, it is recommended to keep at least 900mm spacing between the two, not only is it easy to pull out the seat, but also easy to get from the bookcase to put things. The biggest advantage of this arrangement is layered, especially suitable for large study, can create a sense of stretch atmosphere.  

Another is the “before and after the attack” sense of enclosure layout - desk in the middle of the room (reliable wall or not against the wall), the left and right sides of the opposing walls of a bookcase, forming a “sandwich with the desk The pattern of “sandwiched desk”. This design can maximize the use of the wall to do storage, a strong sense of atmosphere, but small households should be cautious: if the study area is less than 8 square meters, may appear to be depressing, more suitable for spacious large space.

Second, mutually perpendicular type: small space “savior”  

Desk and bookcase was 90 ° placed vertically, specializing in “long and narrow” or “short depth” of the study.  

Three practical variants:  

Integral connected: desk and bookcase like “twins” as one (such as the corner cabinet design), no extra gap, especially space-saving, small homes preferred, visually more sharp.  

Side to side: one end of the desk or long side directly “against” the side of the bookcase, such as the right side of the desk connected to the bookcase, not only to save space but also to take the book. If the length of a certain direction of the study is not enough (such as the depth of only 2 meters), this arrangement can reduce the waste of the area of the pass area.  

Leave a seam apart: leave a distance of 30-50cm between the two, such as the desk by the window, the bookcase in the side wall, leaving the center empty walking. This arrangement is more flexible, suitable for people who want to make the space appear “not crowded”, especially suitable for the study with floor-to-ceiling windows, light and line of motion are more comfortable.

Third, divided into wall rely on type: long study “gold partner”  

Desks and bookcases were “occupied” on two opposite walls, leaving an aisle in the middle to put chairs.  

Why is suitable for narrow study?  

Assuming that the study is a “corridor type” (for example, 4 meters long and 2 meters wide), the desk is placed against one wall (60cm wide), the opposite wall to do the bookcases (30cm deep), the middle of the aisle to leave 90cm to put chairs, so as to ensure that the desk and bookcases of the full area, but also will not make the aisle looks narrow.  

Attention to detail: If the bookcase to do full wall, it is recommended to choose with glass doors or open design, otherwise the whole solid wall will look depressing. Measured 300mm or so of the depth of the bookcase is most practical, both to put the book and does not take up too much space, desk width is recommended 450-600mm, too small will not be enough.

Fourth, the left and right tandem type: multi-functional study “flexible players”  

Desk and bookcase along the same wall “lined up”, there are two common combinations:  

A left and a right type: the left bookcase + right desk, suitable for single use, such as children writing homework, the bookcase is next to the book is very convenient.  

Middle desk + bookcases on both sides (2 +1 mode): suitable for families that need a lot of storage, such as parents working at home, the two sides of the bookcase were put on the work materials and children's textbooks, the middle desk is long enough (two-person table is recommended to be 1.2-2 meters), two people at the same time to use the non-crowded.  

Note: This arrangement should be calculated in advance length - single desk at least 80cm, too short enough; if the total length of the wall is only 3 meters, it is recommended that the desk accounted for 1.5 meters, bookcases on both sides of 0.7 meters, to avoid “robbing the space”. In addition, leave the width of the aisle (at least 70cm), otherwise people sitting in front of the desk will feel stifled.

Fifth, up and down the same side type: small house “vertical savior”  

Desk on the ground against the wall, bookcase “hanging” above the desk, in two forms:  

Hanging bookcase: directly mounted on the wall directly above the desk, not the floor of the design is particularly light, small house with almost no floor space. For example, the study is only 5 square meters, set up a 1-meter desk, hang a 80cm long hanging cabinet above, can put the commonly used books, but also to avoid a sense of oppression.  

Desk+bookcase integrated connection: for example, above the desk to do an extension of the cabinet, desktop and cabinet together, suitable for the pursuit of the overall sense of design.  

Disadvantages and solutions: hanging cabinets at the top level to take the book is not convenient, it is recommended that the commonly used books are placed in the area below 1.5 meters from the ground, and the infrequently used books are placed on the upper level. If there are old people or children at home, hanging bookcases must be fixed firmly, safety first.

Finally focus: 3 keys to choose the right layout  

1. First look at the area:  

   Less than 6 square meters: Priority to choose “vertical connection type” or “up and down the same side type”, the corner can be utilized to the extreme.  

   More than 8 square meters: you can try “front and back away from the type” or “split wall rely on the type”, the pursuit of a sense of transparency and large capacity.  

2. Re-think the habit:  

   Sedentary office: the depth of the desk should be at least 60cm, and there should be space for legs in front (for example, don't put the desk against the wall).  

   High-frequency access to books: do not put the bookcase is too far away from the seat, “left and right series type” or “vertical connection type” is more convenient.  

3. Finally, look at the value:  

   Want a sense of high class: choose the “front and back away from the type” + glass bookcase, or “up and down the same side of the type” + overhanging design, to reduce the ground cover.  

   Like a sense of warmth: “vertical connected type” + wooden cabinets, to create a sense of security embracing.  

In fact, there is no absolute “standard answer” to the study layout, the key is to adjust according to their habits. For example, my study is a small corner of 3 square meters, with “up and down the same side type”+folding chairs, usually the office area, guests can also temporarily as a guest room - flexible, is the ultimate law of small space. I hope these experiences can help you create a practical and pleasing to the eye corner of the study!
