Bright ideas FOR TEENS

hen it comes to designing a child or teen study space it can be a challenging task, with a lot to consider. You need to help them make the most of their space and, most importantly, concentrate! Lighting is a big factor and, by incorporating good light sources, you prevent visual fatigue, keep their focus high and illuminate their creative ideas.

First of all, you need to determine the location of your workspace. Look for a corner which is not too obstructed by other elements of the room – you want them away from distractions. Creating a cool and comfy area with stylish furniture will go a long way to entice them to study. Cult's trendy range of home o ce furniture and lighting is sure to inspire and encourage even the most work shy of students.

WAs schools, colleges and universities explore virtual learning, a suitable table, chair and task light, are essential bits of kit for their studies. From 'smart' teenage desk ideas to ladder desks that make use of vertical space, and an array of task lighting, you can give your teen the room they deserve and will enjoy both working and relaxing in. Keep them switched on and engaged with a good desk lamp. Styles with an adjustable head are a bonus. The Ebbe desk lamp range (from £39) is the perfect task lighting to keep their homework in the spotlight, plus it is available in a range of great colours. The contemporary Layla table lamp (from £69) is a trendy alternative featuring a frosted globe to create a soft glow that lights up any workspace.

If you don’t have room for a desk lamp, floor lamps are an elegant and space-saving alternative that shed plenty of directed light. Try the Temuka

(£229) for a cool retro look or the Lucca (£159), which features a solid marble base and clever adjustable head.

They say a tidy space equals a tidy mind. If possible, choose a desk with storage – Cult’s Angus Ash Desk (£229) is a great example. Here, the focus is on clean lines and sleek design, and it's savvy on the storage front too.

When it comes to seating, look for an ergonomic design with a height adjustable seat to ensure their posture and focus stay true. The Haines (£149) provides both support and comfort, and with di erent colour and fabric options.
