As the academic year approaches once again, it’s time to start thinking about getting your home ready for guaranteed focus. Whether you’re heading off to college, sending your child off to school, or starting night classes, having the right study space can make all the difference. A well-designed room can boost concentration, support healthy posture, encourage learning, and ultimately lead to long-term productive study habits. In this blog, EZ Living Furniture explores the must-have office essentials, including desks, chairs, and everything in between, enabling everyone, from young to old, to thrive in an at-home learning environment.
Tia White Top Desk
By far, one of the most important items of furniture for a study space is the desk. Whether your study area is located in a bedroom, spare room, or utility room, a desk is an absolute necessity. The Tia White Top Desk above is one of our favourites, and while we might be slightly biased, it tends to be a standout option for students of all ages. Its clean, minimalistic design brings a fresh, modern look to any study space, and it’s not just visually appealing; it has a lot of functional qualities too. The surface has plenty of room for any books, laptop or computer, and the two pull-out drawers provide plenty of space for any stationery or documents. The white top will instantly make a space feel open and inviting, which is perfect for encouraging focus during long revision sessions. If you’re looking for a practical and stylish foundation for your learning environment, you won’t be disappointed by Tia!
Ottowa Office Chair
Next on your study room shopping list should be another essential furniture item – an office chair. After all, you can’t sit for hours on end at a desk without a comfortable office chair to support you while you do it. The Ottowa Office Chair is both stylish and the perfect accompaniment to any desk. With its versatile black faux leather chair, it’s wipe-clean, which is ideal for someone who’s a messy eater and tends to snack at their desk (Guilty!). What we love most about the Ottowa Chair isn’t just its eye-catching criss-cross stitching; we love the swivel wheels, reducing the need for reaching or twisting. The unique, non-standard, chic design of this office chair also means that if you ever need to use it in another part of the home, you can; it won’t look out of place like a typical office chair would.
Rilla Table Lamp
Get off to a flying start and prepare for lengthy study sessions with the one item many of us will forget to buy when kitting out an at-home office, a table lamp. This item is essential, especially when working long into the night. Focused lighting is needed to illuminate the pages of a schoolbook, college literature, and any resources when daylight fades and the darkness rolls in – this is also particularly important during the winter months, when it gets darker earlier. Pictured above, the Rilla Table Lamp is a slim cream metal lamp that features a sheer muslin fabric on its shade. This lamp will certainly create a softened yet direct lighting when pouring over those study notes and create the perfect ambience for watching TV during that much-needed and essential study break.
Avoca Bookcase
A bookcase or bookshelf is a necessary piece of furniture in any office space or study area, not just for storing books or documents but also for creating an organised, focused environment. This one item helps keep reference materials, notebooks, and even decorative items within easy reach, reducing desk clutter and promoting productivity. When strategically placed, a bookcase also adds a sense of structure and personality to a space, allowing you to use certain sections to showcase your interests and personality. A bookcase is incredibly versatile and can be used for storing so many different things, not just books, which is why it’s a must-have item for any study or living space, whether that’s a bedroom, living room, or spare bedroom. The Avoca 4 Cube Mango Wood Bookcase has just enough storage space with 4 individual cube shelves, so even for the smallest of rooms, the Avoca is a great choice.
Creating an effective study room is about more than just furniture – it’s about designing a space that supports productivity, focus, and comfort. Every piece, from your chair to your bookcase, contributes to how well you think and work.
When choosing essentials, aim for a balance between function and personal style. A well-organised, thoughtfully designed space can turn studying into something you can look forward to instead of something to avoid. Whether it’s a designated office or a quiet corner in a bedroom, the right setup helps you to stay inspired and in control of your academic goals.
