Home/Articles/Desk for two children: choosing the best option

It is not always possible for a family with several children to have a separate nursery for each one. Often there is only one room, forcing you to save space. Then two-story beds, transformable furniture and other methods of optimizing space are used.

And to make homework convenient, you need a table at which two children can study at once. Such products are available in several versions.

Height selection

If we talk about the growth of a child, then when choosing a desk you should be guided by the following parameters:

Child's height (cm)	Table height (cm)	Chair height (cm)
up to 80	34	17
80-90	38	20
90-100	43	24
100-115	48	28
110-119	52-54	30-32
120-129	54-57	32-35
130-139	60-62	36-38

It is important that schoolchildren sit correctly at a desk for two children, since incorrect body position can cause problems with posture:

When a child is sitting, his chest should not touch the edge of the tabletop; moreover, a child's fist should pass between them.
With the correct height of the table and chair, the elbow of a straight outstretched arm should be 5 cm below the table.
It is necessary to bend over the work surface as little as possible.
When sitting, your knees should form a right angle, as should your hips and lower back. The feet should be firmly planted on the floor or on a special stand.
The correct position on the chair means that the back rests completely on the backrest and forms a right angle with the hips. Elbows should rest on the surface of the tabletop.
When working at a computer, there should be at least half a meter between your eyes and the monitor. It is necessary that the gaze falls from above, at an angle of 30 degrees. The monitor must be installed in the center of the viewing area.
When writing to a right-handed person, it is necessary to place the notebook to the left, and to a left-handed person to the right, 30 degrees. This position will allow you to avoid turning your torso.
When reading, you need to slightly tilt the book towards you, so the body can independently take a natural pose and relax the muscles of the back and neck.

If the desk is intended to be used by two children of different ages and heights, then you can purchase special adjustable footrests. With their help, you can subsequently easily adjust the correct body position at the table. In addition, you can give preference to special chairs with height adjustment and a built-in footrest.

Shapes and sizes of children's desks

Depending on the configuration, the following types of products are distinguished:

rectangular, in order to increase safety, corners can be rounded;
corner models in symmetrical or L-shaped design (left- and right-handed);
wide tables with a central partition or long tables designed for two students.

To choose a product that is suitable for your child in size, you need to decide on the basic parameters.

The distance from the floor to the lid is responsible for the correct position of the body. You can check it with regular testing. In a sitting position, the tabletop is located at the level of the solar plexus or approximately 3-5 cm above the elbow. There is at least 10-15 cm of free space between the knees and the lid. The shoulder girdle remains in its natural position if the student rests his forearms on the work surface.
A tabletop length of 1 to 1.2 will provide enough space for the necessary accessories and elbow support.
The minimum depth of the table is 60 cm. If it is planned to be used as a computer, the value increases to 0.8-1 m. This is necessary to maintain the correct distance between the monitor and the eyes.

Configurations

Tables for two children are offered in various configurations:

Double table. The model is a rectangular tabletop with cabinets on the sides. This product is suitable for children close in age. The table saves space. The children are located nearby. Among the disadvantages of such a product is the need to equip the table with additional daylight lighting, if you do not place it near a window.
Bedside table-chair-chair-bedside table - placement similar to the previous option, but the model takes up much more space. The children are nearby. One of the advantages is the presence of a large working area for everyone. This table for two children is suitable for large rooms.
Corner designs are appropriate in rooms with a small area. Writing desks for two children of this model can be placed in a corner or near a window, thereby freeing up space near the walls for cabinets or any other furniture. In addition, when sitting at a corner table, children have their backs to each other. This helps them concentrate and not get distracted when doing homework.
A U-shaped table is a design with one cabinet and two tabletops on the sides. It takes up more space, while the children are facing each other. The working surface of this table is not very large. The advantages include ease of use and the presence of additional lighting.
Straight with a roll-out tabletop - this design takes up little space in the room. When purchasing this table for a schoolchild, it is necessary to provide for the availability of free space to accommodate the retractable tabletop. This design is convenient because it saves space. Children at such a table are placed along a line, so you will have to take care of additional lighting.

Zoning a children's room for two boys

Proper division of the room is the basis of a comfortable, functional bedroom. Proper zoning of a common nursery will allow you to create an individual personal space for everyone. What should you pay attention to in the room of two brothers?

Children's room for two boys

Sleep and rest area

It is necessary to choose beds based on the child’s height and the size of the room: functional two-level options are suitable for compact spaces, and free-standing ones for large ones. If boys need a daytime area for games or reading, add sofa beds.

When choosing a sofa bed for children, pay attention to the density of its seat: the most beneficial option for back health is hard and elastic. If the sofa is too soft, add an orthopedic mattress to it.

Work (training) area

For preschoolers, the “working” space will be replaced by a common low table with a couple of chairs, at which it is convenient to draw, learn to read and write. But the school-going brothers will already need an individual place where they can do their homework. A large long table, where two people can comfortably sit, or a couple of separate compact tables will come in handy.

If you are planning a computer in the room, you will need a large table: there should be room not only for a monitor / laptop, but also for writing instruments.

Storing things

As a rule, boys have little clothes: an ordinary closet with shelves and a compartment with a rod is enough for two brothers. You can also save space by purchasing beds with a storage system that can accommodate your children's wardrobe. However, in your sons' bedroom it is worth providing an area for various toys: even when the children grow up, additional shelves and chests of drawers will be useful for storing collectible figures, sports awards and other hobby-related items.

Game Zone

A play area is necessary in a nursery for two boys of any age. Kids need space for various activities - prepare them a comfortable corner with a soft carpet on the floor, a wigwam and light bean bags that do not clutter up the space.

For older boys - schoolchildren and teenagers - set up a place for board games with friends: a round table and compact chairs (folding chairs or the same bean bags) are suitable.

If possible, create a video game area for your grown-up sons: place a compact sofa or chairs at a sufficient distance from the computer screen (at least 1.5 m) and allocate space near the table for the console.

Sports area

Active games and sports are a key element in the life of boys, therefore, if the size of the room allows, create a sports area for your sons: install a wall bars or a mini-climbing wall. For your teenage brothers, make a compact corner with sports equipment - dumbbells, kettlebells and a horizontal bar. If your sons play sports professionally, hang shelves in this area where you will store their awards - cups and medals.

Location options

In front of the window

A classic option that allows you to save space in the room and, in addition, receive natural light from the window. This placement is for rooms with a width of two meters or more. A table is placed in the center, with bedside tables, cabinets or shelves on the sides.

When placing your child’s workplace near a window, be sure to check all window fittings for serviceability.

Nuances:

for the sake of convenience, you will have to remove unnecessary things from the windowsill so as not to reach for them;
take care of insulating window frames.

On the same line

This placement is relevant in square rooms. A large option is placed along one of the walls. The advantage is that you can hang various shelves on the wall. The disadvantage is that less daylight reaches the work area.

Children's table for two on one line

Letter "G"

Relevant for large children's rooms, since corner placement takes up a lot of space. As a result, the designs allow children to study comfortably and also accommodate everything they need.

In front of each other

two tables are placed along opposite walls. As a result, the children sit with their backs to each other. This allows everyone to do their own thing without interruption or distraction. Option for wider rooms.
Schoolchildren's desks are opposite each other. The location is not always appropriate, since the area is not used rationally.

Each child has a special personality, so it is necessary to personalize each person’s workplace as much as possible.

Examples for two children

Rectangular structures. A classic option suitable for any interior. Such models are convenient for classes and allow you to compactly organize your workplace. Computer desk

When choosing a model for a schoolchild, it is important to give space for writing. Attention should be paid to designs with a retractable panel, a shelf for a monitor and a compartment for the system unit. Corner school option. Preferable for small rooms. Transformer Such models are durable and allow you to change their dimensions, for example, height, tilt of the tabletop.

Arranging a children's room is a responsible and difficult task.

Zoning a common table for two children can be done in different ways

The layout of the workplace should provide both children with free space and the opportunity to calmly go about their business. Therefore, you should take a responsible approach to choosing equipment based on the age and activities of the student.

Corner options

If the children's room has a large area, then one of the most acceptable options would be a corner desk for two children. In this case, you should definitely pay special attention to the correct measurement of both tabletops, because they must be identical in length and width. You can also take a closer look at various office options or order the production of such a table on an individual basis.

An excellent inexpensive solution would be to purchase a pair of identical tables complete with a cabinet. In this case, the tables will need to be placed in the letter “G”, and the cabinet placed between them. For lighting here, it is better to use table lamps, and place computer equipment in niches under the table or place it on the side of the tabletop.

Corner table in the children's room

School supplies can be placed in narrow cabinets or open shelving . And if you paint the shelves in different colors, you can make the room brighter, and besides, children will only put their things on shelves of a certain color.

A huge advantage of a corner desk is that children will not be distracted by each other while doing homework, because the chairs do not touch and the children do not look at each other. And, in addition, the table can be placed in the corner of the room, thus freeing up the wall in the nursery for a closet or other furniture.

Location in the nursery: room layout with such a table

The proper placement of the school table in the children's bedroom plays an important role. Depending on the layout and footage, this can be done in different ways. There should be plenty of light in the workplace. In addition, it is advisable to separate the work area from the sleep area. There are several options for placing study furniture in a nursery for two.

Against a straight wall

A table of any design will look good next to a straight wall. The corner model can be placed perpendicular to the wall. It is worth placing a bookcase near the study area.

Original modern design

In the corner

The workplace should be located in a bright corner where sunlight falls. A corner model is suitable for this location. This will help save space and zone the room.

Near the window

The best option is to place a desk for two children along the window. There is a lot of natural light and fresh air.

If a balcony or loggia is combined with a room, then a place to study can be equipped on the balcony.

Comfortable furniture will allow children to calmly do school lessons or their hobbies. You can study a variety of table models in designer photos, and then choose the appropriate one.

What you need to know when buying a desk for two children

If you clearly think through the interior of a children's room in advance, you can create a wonderful space for your children to study and play , as well as save money, usable space and simply make it beautiful. At the same time, one of the most important elements in the nursery will always remain a desk, at which the child will study, sit at the computer and simply store his things. Therefore, be sure to think through everything down to the smallest detail: how many shelves and cabinets there will be, because you will need to put school supplies and books somewhere, and with the help of a special add-on above the table you can perfectly solve this issue.

Desk for two children

It would be nice if the desk had a height adjustment function, so that as the child grows older, it could be raised to make it more comfortable to study.

Of course, you should definitely think through all the details yourself, but it would be foolish to refuse the help of specialists, because only they can explain all the nuances and help you implement your idea as accurately as possible. A reliable and functional desk for two children can decorate a child’s room for many years and be an indispensable assistant in their studies.

Location options

Even before purchasing a comfortable table for two schoolchildren, you should determine the installation location. Corner models are selected so that the entire working surface is naturally illuminated. Regardless of the location, additional lamps will be required that will provide sufficient light.

If the table is placed near a window, it is necessary to eliminate the possibility of drafts. If there is a radiator under the window sill, you will have to leave a gap between the structure and the heating device. Otherwise, air circulation will be disrupted.

A table by the window in a nursery is an excellent solution that allows you to save usable space. Enough light will reach the tabletop. This placement option has some disadvantages - you will have to insulate, seal the frame for the winter, and also remove all excess from the window sills so as not to impede the access of light.

A student desk in spacious rooms can be placed along a blank wall. The main advantage of this solution is the ability to install shelves above the countertop. Disadvantage: severe lack of natural light.

Material

The material from which the table is made affects the appearance and cost of the furniture.

Made from solid wood, the product looks presentable and is expensive. This purchase is environmentally friendly, practical and durable.
Chipboard is the most common and budget option for furniture; it looks quite acceptable. Over time, the ends of a table made of chipboard can become worn, and the corners can easily break off. This material does not tolerate moisture well, but for a children's room this is not an obstacle.
Furniture made from MDF is more expensive, but safer, since less toxic resins are used in its production. All kinds of patterns can be printed well on MDF boards, and the edges are rounded.
Glass tables are teenage options and support urban styles (high-tech, techno, minimalism).

Table options

Manufacturers offer several options for desk configurations for two schoolchildren.

1. "Double table". If the room contains students of the same sex or twins who study in the same class and who have common things and interests, such placement will help preserve space. Of course, if the children don't mind.

2. “Bedside table-chair-chair-bedside table.” This linear arrangement will take up more space.

3. Corner table. The corner location is optimal for a nursery with a small area.

Depending on the layout, study areas can be located sideways to each other, opposite or at an angle. How to choose a corner table for a schoolchild can be read here.

4. Children sit opposite each other. It might look like this:

Straight table, opposite workstations. We divide the tabletop into two halves with a table rack. Such a desk will clearly demarcate the personal study area of each room owner.

5. Growing furniture. In conditions of limited financial resources, parents usually strive to buy something for many years. A children's study space should not only be beautiful and roomy, but also suitable for the child: that is, the height of the table and chair should correspond to the height so that the child maintains correct posture.

One of the innovations in the furniture market is growing furniture. These are desks and chairs with height-adjustable legs. The cost of such furniture is high. But if you take into account the functionality and service life, the price will not seem terrible compared to the amount of furniture that will have to be replaced while the child grows.

Square room

An elongated workplace located along the wall will visually increase the free space.

The corner location saves square space. A table for two or more schoolchildren can also be purchased for a room with a non-standard window placement.

The training area can be positioned diagonally. The double transformable table will fit perfectly into a room of up to 10 square meters.

A loft bed with a corner sleeping or working area below can be placed in a square room.

Rectangular room

For a rectangular room, a study space opposite the window across the entire width of the wall is suitable.

You can use part of the window sill as an extension of the desk.

If the window is in the middle, fill the space up to the wall on both sides with a full-height storage area. It can be symmetrical on both sides. Zone the room with color if the children are of different sexes.

For a too narrow, elongated room, a podium option is suitable. This will preserve the width of the free space.

Modern children spend a lot of time at the table. They study, use the computer, and do creative work. If there are two children, purchasing a table means double responsibility for creating a comfortable, functional, healthy learning area in the children's room.

Important nuances

In cities such as Moscow, St. Petersburg and even Yekaterinburg, there is an impressive number of furniture stores that sell tables to order or according to already developed templates. Not every available option will suit your particular case.

Height selection

If we talk about the growth of a child, then when choosing a desk you should be guided by the following parameters:

Child's height (cm)	Table height (cm)	Chair height (cm)
up to 80	34	17
80-90	38	20
90-100	43	24
100-115	48	28
110-119	52-54	30-32
120-129	54-57	32-35
130-139	60-62	36-38

It is important that schoolchildren sit correctly at a desk for two children, since incorrect body position can cause problems with posture:

When a child is sitting, his chest should not touch the edge of the tabletop; moreover, a child's fist should pass between them.
With the correct height of the table and chair, the elbow of a straight outstretched arm should be 5 cm below the table.
It is necessary to bend over the work surface as little as possible.
When sitting, your knees should form a right angle, as should your hips and lower back. The feet should be firmly planted on the floor or on a special stand.
The correct position on the chair means that the back rests completely on the backrest and forms a right angle with the hips. Elbows should rest on the surface of the tabletop.
When working at a computer, there should be at least half a meter between your eyes and the monitor. It is necessary that the gaze falls from above, at an angle of 30 degrees. The monitor must be installed in the center of the viewing area.
When writing to a right-handed person, it is necessary to place the notebook to the left, and to a left-handed person to the right, 30 degrees. This position will allow you to avoid turning your torso.
When reading, you need to slightly tilt the book towards you, so the body can independently take a natural pose and relax the muscles of the back and neck.

Design Features

Using one desk designed for two children, you can organize 2 workspaces at once. In a small room it is almost impossible to install a couple of separate desks. One large tabletop will be a real salvation in this case. When choosing a suitable option, you need to pay attention to the design features:

the working surface should be large so that schoolchildren do not experience discomfort;
It is desirable that children's tables be equipped with separate cabinets, drawers for books, and stationery;
the optimal models are those whose sizes can change in accordance with the child’s growth;
complete lighting for each user, lamps will be required.

The standard width of the working surface for two schoolchildren reaches 1 m, the minimum depth is 0.6 m, the optimal space for placing hands is 50 x 50 cm. Furniture parameters depend on the height of the children:

85–100 cm – optimal dimensions – 60–110 x 45 x 30–40 cm (length, width, depth).
100–190 cm – suitable dimensions – 60–120 x 50 x 40 x 50 cm.

A well-chosen children's table contributes to the correct distribution of the load, maintaining the health of the spine and beautiful posture. There is one more rule: the end of the tabletop should be at the level of the child’s solar plexus.

Furniture for a children's room is chosen according to age. It is best to give preference to neutral options: brown, gray, white or black table. The student will place bright accents in the room himself, but the furniture must first of all be practical.

To place a long table along the window, you need to take measurements and decide whether the batteries will rest against the child’s legs. If such a possibility exists, it is better to order a wide tabletop or window sill.

There should be no distracting objects in the work area: TV, toys. It is believed that the color green enhances concentration, so the wall in front of the table can be decorated in soft shades of green.

Organization of a combined work area

Although the phrase “corner table” seems very clear and describes a very standard design, inventive modern designers have come up with several completely different shaped solutions that suggest different relative positions for children when working at such a table.

The classic option is when two parts of a corner table, located at an angle of 90 degrees to each other, are exactly the same in size. At such a table, two children sit with their shoulders touching, but they are turned in different directions. The computer, as well as storage boxes and shelves, simultaneously separate their functional areas and unite them, since they are common, while being easily accessible for both kids.

As an alternative, parents can choose two corner tables at once, placing them in opposite corners of the room - then each of the children will have their own, independent work area, and one of the wings of each table, accordingly, can be significantly shortened.

In rooms of relatively small width, models shaped like the letter C are highly popular. As children grow, experts recommend choosing models from the table, however, corner designs extremely rarely allow such an option. In fact, these are the same two corner tables located in adjacent corners, however , united by a common building. At such a table, children sit with their backs to each other - this allows each of them not to be distracted by the other. Among other things, such tables are also very good because they ensure uniform access of natural light from the window to the work areas of each child.

There is also a type of two-corner table in which the parts directed deeper into the room are trimmed - then each of the corners is a personal computer desk with add-ons and shelves for one of the kids, and the tabletop connecting the two corners is a wide common desk.

How to position?

There are different ways to place a desk on two places. This depends on the footage of a particular room, the features and type of model, as well as the nuances of the layout of the room itself. For example, you can install a children's desk for two students along or near the window. You can also place the product along one of the walls. This installation method is relevant for built-in options or school corners.

Corner models, like analogues of the linear type, are placed not only in corners near a wall with a window. In particularly spacious rooms they are placed facing away from the wall. In this case, the workspace, as a rule, is fenced off with a rack or another zoning technique is used, introducing unobtrusive organization into the room.

Sometimes the table is even placed perpendicular to one of the walls. This arrangement option is used when buying face-to-face models. It is suitable when there is enough space in the room.

Kinds

Today, on the furniture market, many models of desks with two seats are presented to the buyer. Conventionally, all products can be classified into linear and angular.

Direct

The first options include several designs. For example, it could be a long table with a large top and a symmetrical design. It can have two seats next to each other, and on the sides - a convenient row of drawers in the amount of three or four pieces.

On such tables you can place not only textbooks and school supplies: some of them are suitable for placing laptops and even a computer. Other linear options have a demarcation in the middle of the structures, thereby defining the workspace of each student. For example, a shelf with a row of roll-out drawers can perform the delimiting function. Some products of this type are additionally equipped with hanging shelves, since in most cases it is rarely possible to fit all school supplies inside the drawers.

Individual straight-type desks can have complex wall-mounted structures consisting of symmetrical shelving and common closed compartments with doors. The most convenient products that do not interfere with two students doing homework are elongated options installed along the windows. Such models can have a rectangular or slightly rounded shape. Unlike their analogues, they have a wide seating space for each user.

In addition to the classic single tabletop, desks for two people can have two of them. At the same time, other options are unique in that they can change the inclination of the working surface of each tabletop separately. Such models can have not only common pull-out drawers, but also shelves or drawers under the countertops themselves.

Corner

Such models, although they allow you to make the most of every centimeter of usable space, are not always convenient for two students.

This is due to the light entering the workplace, which should fall from the left, which is impossible for two children at the same time, unless additional lighting is used.
In most cases, they are asymmetrical, and therefore the amount of space for each student is different. For one of them it is more than for the other.

It would seem that such models should be comfortable, but this is only for one student. When two children use this product, they have to get up and take the necessary items from a common shelving unit or a row of drawers, which, as a rule, is located on one side. It is rare that a corner type model has a symmetrical set of structural elements. This is a waste of time and discomfort.

Other

Certain types of desks for two schoolchildren include products of non-standard width with seats on both sides, models built into school corners with shelving, convenient cabinets with drawers and hanging shelves of an open or closed type. Built-in furniture is notable for its functionality; it allows you to store a lot of small items inside, in addition to all your school supplies. It can be called a good purchase for decorating the interior of a small nursery.

Children's tables for schoolchildren with two seats can also be sliding, which allows you to choose models with height variations from 116 to 187 cm. Other options include computer-type tables. They are convenient and quite functional, since they almost always have a lot of shelves and drawers for storing equipment (computer, laptop). However, to buy a really good model of this type, you will have to try, because not every corner-type computer desk can be used by two users.

And the point here may be that, due to the design features, more favorable and comfortable conditions will be created for one child than for another. Compartments for CDs, empty openings for the system unit, and a retractable panel under the tabletop may seem unnecessary. However, in large cities, among such models you can still choose a more or less suitable option.

Style and design

They try to purchase desks for schoolchildren so that they are in harmony with the general concept of style. However, whatever the direction of interior design, convenience, conciseness and comfort remain important selection criteria. In fact, models for children should not be elaborate and complex. Yes, they may have a somewhat rounded shape, a streamlined design, but excess decor will only get in the way rather than hint at belonging to a particular style taken as the basis for the interior.

In order for the table to fit harmoniously into the desired style, you should rely on color and conciseness. Fittings can also help: it’s great if they are made in unison with the finishing of lighting fixtures or fittings of other furniture parts. Regarding the use of color, it is worth considering: the shade should not stand out against the general background of the interior composition. However, it is not at all necessary that the tone be identical; something related will suffice; this adds versatility to the design.

Materials and colors

Desks should fit organically into the interior of the room. The materials from which furniture is made are subject to special requirements: environmental friendliness, safety, strength, durability. The most common options are:

Natural wood. The material is of natural origin. Pros: environmental friendliness, reliability, attractive appearance, easy maintenance, hardwood is resistant to deformation and mechanical stress. The main disadvantage is the high cost.
Sheet materials (MDF, chipboard). Pros: availability, variety of models, colors. Disadvantages - the school table quickly wears out, flakes, the surface is deformed upon contact with water.
Plastic. Pros: comfort of use, light weight, mobility, low cost. Disadvantages - the likelihood of containing toxic substances, fragility, not very attractive appearance.

Tables for schoolchildren, made entirely of wood, seem too large. The ideal option would be models with metal legs and a wooden work surface.

Solid wood

MDF

laminated chipboard

Plastic
As for design, preference should be given to laconic, convenient options. Designs with pretentious shapes and abundant decor will only interfere and distract from activities. The colors of the furniture should be combined with the existing tones in the interior. If children have a large age difference, the shades of the workplace may be different.

Basic parameters when choosing a gamer table, current designs, colors

Designers recommend choosing the color of a model for two children, based on their own opinion. The priority is neutral pastel shades: soft pink, light blue, greenish. Sand and brown options and wood-like designs are popular. It is better to avoid dark colors, as they greatly burden the appearance of the room.

How to position?

Sometimes the table is even placed perpendicular to one of the walls. This arrangement option is used when buying face-to-face models. It is suitable when there is enough space in the room.

How to choose?

To simplify the choice of a table for two workstations for schoolchildren, it is worth taking note of a few simple tips.

A minimum space between two schoolchildren is possible only in the case of small-sized children's rooms.
If you have a large window, you should give preference to the option along it. Thus, two users will have more light, and each will receive approximately the same amount of light.
The durability of the model will depend on the material used. If possible, you should take a wooden product with moisture-resistant impregnation.
The design of the model should be comfortable. It is necessary that the child is distracted as little as possible in order to get the necessary school supplies.

The height of the table should be sufficient. If you are buying a product for a long time, you should take a closer look at the sliding type options, which allow you to vary the height, adapting to the different heights of children.
You need to take options whose tabletop width is more than 60 cm. Smaller models may be inconvenient for placing the most necessary items.
When choosing the length of the working surface, you need to take into account the space for the table lamp, because it may happen that you won’t be able to do without it.
The table must be selected so that the auxiliary lighting installed on it does not hit the eyes of one of the users.
The product must be purchased from a store with a proven reputation. The presence of a certificate of quality and compliance with safety standards will be a factor indicating the quality of the model.

Useful tips

When placing a table in a children's room, it is important to think through and calculate all the possibilities for arranging furniture and choose the most suitable option.

Folding desk for two children

This option will come in very handy in a small nursery. If necessary, you can unfold the table, and after the lessons are done, fold it back. It may not be very convenient to constantly pull the furniture back and forth, but until the homework is completed, the children simply will not be able to play in the room, because it will be occupied by the table.

The desk is located directly in front of the window

Typically, a children's room is more than two meters wide, and the window unit usually takes up about half the wall. That is why the ideal option would be to install a desk for two children in front of the window. To implement such a solution in practice, you will most likely need to contact furniture manufacturers, because standard table options are unlikely to fit every children's room.

Usually in this case, instead of a standard window sill, a tabletop is simply installed. However, there is one significant nuance that must be taken into account: batteries are most often located under the window, and often they stretch across its entire width. It’s quite easy to find a way out of this situation; just order a table with a special back wall.

White desk for two children against the window

It is worth noting that now furniture manufacturers offer quite a few ready-made solutions for desks for two children, which can be placed near the window. The only drawback of such furniture is the lack of various shelves, bedside tables and cabinets. Therefore, it will be necessary to independently think about the places where children would store their school supplies.

An excellent option would be hanging shelves on the walls or a table equipped with a special niche under the tabletop. However, in this case there is simply nowhere to hide a laptop or briefcase, but a student should have everything he needs nearby.

Another problem with a desk for two children in front of a window is that if the children’s room is not large, and even square, then such a workplace will take up most of it. But it is also necessary to leave free space for games. However, despite some disadvantages, this solution is undoubtedly one of the most optimal, because in this way children will be able to enjoy the view from the window and do their homework in natural light.

Desk for two children in one line

This option is perfect for a children’s room, which has a rectangular elongated shape. Consider which wall the table will be located under. Here you should calculate from which side the daylight will fall: if the child is right-handed, then the light should fall from the left, and if he is left-handed, then vice versa. However, in any case, it will be necessary to additionally equip the desk with a fluorescent lamp .

Small, narrow table for children

A desk along the wall is one of the most popular options for arranging a workspace in a children's room. The tables here are located almost the same as in front of the window, but there is one significant advantage: shelves can be placed above the tabletop, so children will always have the necessary things at hand. The only drawback is that it will be problematic to place other furniture on this wall, but the children will be able to study together and will not interfere with each other.

In this case, it is advisable to place laptops or computers nearby. And if you add a cabinet in the middle, you can perfectly delimit the personal space for children.

Table transformer

A big favorite this year was a new product – a transforming table. Parents began to buy this kind of furniture for good reason. This table allows you to adjust the height of the table and the inclination of the tabletop to suit the height of the child. Thanks to this feature, you can be sure that while doing homework, your child will not bend his spine and his posture will be straight. At the same time, as the child grows, the table is easily adjusted, so it is impossible to “grow out of it.”

This photo shows a transformable table for schoolchildren of different ages, where the tilt and height of the workplace are adjusted for each person sitting at it.

Advantages

For two children in a small nursery, a corner room can confidently be called the most ergonomic solution due to a number of reasons. Here are the most important ones:

Unlike a similar straight table, the corner design turns out to be quite compact, since even a space measuring one and a half by one and a half meters is enough to create a full-fledged working area. A straight design with similar functionality would require up to two meters in length and at least a meter in width, which would cover a huge part of the room.
The corner model is placed in a corner - where, for example, a bed will not fit. Moreover, such furniture is characterized by a relatively small height, which allows it to stand right next to the window, whereas a wardrobe, it turns out, would not fit there.
Thanks to the combined design, the mutual use of shelves and drawers by two children is permissible, which has a positive effect on the amount of space occupied compared to two separate tables.

Pros of placing a table near a window

Artificial lighting is not beneficial to the eyes and should only be used in the absence of daylight:

natural light is beneficial for the nervous system;
it allows vision to remain clear and maintains its health;
it also helps the body produce beneficial vitamin D and gain positive energy.
