Teen's room: Creating a workspace

In a teenager's bedroom, it is essential to provide a workspace, in other words a desk, for doing homework, but also to have a dedicated space for concentration, creativity, etc. It is not uncommon for teenage rooms to be already quite cluttered, and it becomes difficult to find space to add an additional piece of furniture. However, there are clever solutions that will allow you to create a workspace in your teenager's room without cluttering the space.

Why install a desk in a teenager's room?

As they progress through school, your child will start bringing homework home. While parents initially accompany younger ones in completing these, the goal is for them to eventually be able to handle their homework independently. From then on, teenagers will need a quiet space, away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the house. Their room seems to be the perfect place for this, to isolate themselves and focus on the task at hand.

For even more practicality and comfort, opting for the installation of a desk seems to be the most logical. With a desk, your teenager is comfortably settled for reading and writing. They have a suitable work surface to set up their books and notebooks and thus complete as efficiently as possible the homework they have been asked to do. The desk is therefore the perfect piece of furniture to create a suitable workspace in a teenager's room.

When to put a desk in a room?

A desk in a bedroom will have its place from the age of 6. Indeed, it is already at this age that children start bringing homework home to learn concepts such as writing, reading, and mathematics. Parents who want homework to be done in their children's room can therefore install a small desk in the room from now on. However, the desk becomes essential a little later, precisely when the child no longer needs the help of their parents to do their homework and wishes to isolate themselves.

So, proceed according to your child's rhythm and needs. This can also be an opportunity to mark the occasion during a back-to-school period, for example. Moreover, nothing prevents you from making a small table and a small chair available to your child at their size from a very young age. They will thus have the reflex to settle in well to perform tasks that require precision and concentration.

How to create a workspace without cluttering the room?

To install a desk in an already well-occupied room, you will need to be ingenious.

Decluttering to create a teenager's room

The moment of installing the desk is often a transition period between childhood and adolescence. This can be the right time to initiate a sorting process that will allow you to transform a child's room into a teenager's room. Embark on this project by involving your child, of course, and make sure to separate what is to be kept, from what is to be given away, sold, or thrown away. The idea is not only to save space, but also to create a space that resembles them even more. It can also be a good opportunity to rework the decor of the room to make it more in line with their tastes.

Opt for a wooden loft bed

If despite all your attempts, you don't know how to add a desk to your teenager's room, there are very clever solutions that will make all the difference. For example, you can opt for the installation of a wooden loft bed. The loft bed is presented as a bunk bed where only the top bunk would be kept. Thus, you can place your desk under the children's loft bed for a fabulous space-saving solution.

There is even what we call the loft bed with desk which already includes an integrated desk underneath the 90x190 loft bed. This is for example the case with our MANLY loft bed. By opting for a children's loft bed, you maximise all the space below the bed and thus enjoy a well-thought-out and practical room to use. When transitioning to adolescence, opting for a single loft bed can therefore be a very good choice. You can also favour the purchase of a wooden loft bed made in France to choose a safe and durable piece of furniture.

How to organise a small desk?

Once the desk is installed, there are also some tips you can implement to make it a space conducive to work and concentration.

First, make sure the desk surface is perfectly lit by adding a wall spotlight or a desk lamp, for example. Also ensure that several storage solutions are present to organise books, notebooks, and other school supplies. If you want to save space, there are perforated panels that you can hang on the wall to attach pencil holders and other items to avoid cluttering the desk.

Don't forget to pay special attention to the choice of office chair so that your teenager is perfectly seated. Finally, let your teenager personalise this space with decorative objects, drawings, and other items so that they fully embrace it and enjoy using it.
