5 Things Your Study Nook Needs

Back-to-school shopping takes on new meaning when you want to create the perfect space for your study routine. No matter what setup you have in your home, from a dedicated personal home office to a shared dorm room, we have you covered with some good options for your study nook.

Standing Desk

Don’t sit hunched over all day! Start by creating a study nook centered around a standing desk. A standing desk provides better ergonomics by helping you move between sitting and standing throughout the day, which is healthier for your body. If you need a dual monitor for your studies, figure out the area you will need for your laptop, monitors, and other accessories to have enough space to complete your homework without feeling cluttered. Check out the memory setting options available so you can save precious time to achieve your ideal height and position conveniently and quickly.

Mini Fridge

If you want to focus on self-care and nutrition, stay away from a communal fridge whenever possible! A mini fridge is perfect for keeping your stuff cool and within reach when you are ready for a study break. If beverages are your top priority, skip the fridge and freezer combination and consider a beverage can fridge with room for 100 or more drinks! Retro-like colors are trendy now, so you can choose a complementary color that matches your study nook décor. And if you like to pamper yourself with facial masks and great skincare, ensure enough room in the fridge to store your chilled beauty products.

Speakers

Portable Bluetooth speakers are the most convenient way to broadcast sound from your phone, tablet, or laptop in your study nook. If you have spilled liquids on your tech in the past, or you want your speakers to travel with you outdoors, think about a waterproof Bluetooth speaker option. Some floatable Bluetooth speakers are made to survive a 5-foot drop and then submerge in 1 meter of water. Check out the range of feet and how many hours of listening per charge before choosing the right Bluetooth speakers for your needs. 

Headphones

What did you say? Noise-canceling headphones are the way to go when you want to drown out everything around you, from chatter to commuter noise. Active noise canceling headphones have microphones that can detect the noise around you and eliminate it before reaching your ears.  Research sound, comfort level, battery life, and build quality before choosing the best option for you. You may also want to consider whether you’ll be using the headphones for voice calls.
