Now that your children are back in school, arc you finding that your kitchen or dining room table is doing double duty as an all-purpose study area? Do you find yourself continually tripping over piles of schoolbooks, papers and other paraphernalia simply because because your kids don't have anywhere else to put them? If you answered "yes" to the above questions, you may want to consider installing a home study to give your children children a room that's quiet and comfortable - a special place where they can study and do their homework without being distracted by other household activities.

Functional and Effective It's important to realize that a home study doesn't have to be elaborate or large to be functional or effective. For instance, instance, you may want to turn an existing room of your home - like a small spare bedroom or a private comer in the family room - into a study area. Or, if you have an awkward "catchall" "catchall" room that never sees much use, you can make it into a suitable home study with just a few modifications. You may even want to consider consider renovating your attic to provide a cozy, quiet study nook (if your attic is large enough). Today, more and more people are renovating their attics and basements to expand their living space. However, keep in mind that an undertaking like this would be more costly and would probably probably require a contractor as well as a building permit. If you're thinking of expanding expanding your home to accommodate accommodate a study by adding on an addition, you'll need a contractor, contractor, detailed plans of what you intend to build and a building building permit. Keep Family Members Involved When planning your home study, be sure to keep your children involved in the process process right from the very begin- ing; after all, they will have primary use of this room. Consult Consult them about the types of furniture and equipment they think they'll, require. If you plan to use it as well, you'll have to blend your tastes and needs with theirs. Depending on the location of the study, you may want to install thick carpeting in any rooms above or around it to muffle any distracting sounds (such as the television and conversations). conversations). You may even want to install special sound deadening panels or acoustical tile in your study if you have a particularly noisy household. When considering the types of furniture you're going to install, install, keep simplicity in mind. For instance, instead of trying to cram one or two bulky desks into your study, you may simply simply want to install a very large, functional work table. Portable drawer units could be placed underneath the table for easy access to files, pens and other necessary items. Another alternative alternative is to buy small (two- drawer), inexpensive filing cabinets and place them under or beside the table or desk for extra storage. Open storage carts are another another option for keeping things neat and out-of-the-way. These moveable, plastic-coated wire units usually contain three or four storage bins and can be placed either beside or under the desk or table. They are relatively relatively inexpensive and can be purchased at most hardware, department or shelving stores. Also keep in mind that desk chairs in a study should be sturdy but comfortable, to encourage encourage good posture. Other furniture items should be both durable and flexible so that they can continue to be functional functional as your children grow. Bookshelves Bookshelves are also handy items to install in your home study, particularly if you have a lot of reference materials (like encyclopedias) which you or your children use on a regu lar basis. Inexpensive bookshelves bookshelves can be purchased at furniture stores or building centres. Most arc pro-finished and all that's required is a little elbow grease to assemble them. For an interesting effect, try combining bookshelves of varying heights. This can make the room appear somewhat larger. If you're handy, you might want to build the furniture yourself - that way you can tailor them specifically to suit your own needs. Built-in bookcases bookcases and desks arc attractive and make effective use of available space. Lighting is another important important • consideration. There should be lots of adequate lighting over and around the work area to minimize eye strain. IB5&I HOCKIN HOCKIN REAL ESTATE 123 KING ST.
