1. Keep it clutter-free:

First things first! Keep your study table clutter-free, even before you start revamping it. Eradicate anything useless or unnecessary from your study table like filled notebooks, pens that don’t work, textbooks that are not required any longer, and story books that you have outgrown. A clutter-free study table itself looks so refreshing and welcoming and you can arrange it around the way you study.

2. Planters:

Plants can be a decorative preference. So, add small pretty ceramic pots with indoor plants such as jade, bamboo, aloe vera, spider plant, and peace lily to name a few. You can even go for succulents with captivating themes and designs that keep you closer to nature and spread freshness around your study table.

3. Display board/Cork board:

It is good to have a display board hung on the front wall of the study table. It is not only useful in keeping track of important things but also serves as a medium of study table décor. Get creative and embellish it with your artwork, inspiring quotes, or your achievements. Let your display board be a source of constant inspiration to you to do better than the day before!

4. Wall art:

If you aren’t convinced with the idea of a display board or even a whiteboard, you can go for a beautiful study table wall décor such as wall art like a textured wall or wallpaper. If you have a creative side, hang your paintings, doodles, wall plates, or any inspiring quote that interests you on the wall itself instead of the display board.

5. Sticky notes:

Sticky notes are our best friends when it comes to decorating our study table. Usually, they come in fluorescent hues of pink, green, blue, and yellow. Sticky notes help us to jot down important pointers which come very handy whenever required. You can use them as highlighters, and bookmarks, to write summaries, to-do lists, labels, weekly or monthly goals, and so on.

6. Chalkboard/whiteboard:

If the display board doesn’t interest you much, you can go for a chalkboard or a whiteboard on the front wall of your study table. Chalk and a blackboard are two familiar tools for writing out important points. Similarly, a whiteboard can be very handy in understanding certain concepts, the flow of events, or math equations.

7. Organizers:

Organisers will make your life very easy. There are several ways of creating your organisers for your stationery and other items. Make use of Popsicle sticks, and origami papers, reuse old plastic or glass bottles, cans, and other containers, and adorn them to create useful organizers.

8. Cupboards and shelves:

Your study table should have some cupboards, shelves, or drawers. This will help you organize your books and stationery and categorize them effectively. Small cupboards painted in vibrant hues will make your study table look very attractive and clutter-free.

9. Lighting:

Lighting plays a very crucial role in effective study. Make sure your study table has a proper source of light. There is nothing like an ample amount of natural light falling on your study table. You can even go for beautiful table lamps, accent lights, LEDs, ceiling lights, and ambient lighting to make sure that there is enough illumination for the tasks you do at the desk.

10. Colour scheme:

There is no right or wrong colour scheme for your study table. Go for something that you love, either cool colours or warmer hues, the choice is yours. Just make sure that the colour scheme of the study table should complement the rest of the room as well as the chairs used.

11. Glass/acrylic sheet:

Another awesome idea to revamp your simple study table is to cover it with a glass or an acrylic sheet and then slide your favourite photographs, achievements or your artwork beneath the glass or the sheet so that they are easily visible to you! You can even change these images from time to time for a novel look every time!
