11 photos of study room ideas for kids
We asked our parenting community, Smart Parenting Village, to share photos of their kids’ study areas — no matter how simple or grand the setup. And as we’ve seen, parents have “kanya-kanyang diskarte” especially if they live in a small home!
Here are photos that show how parents and children are coping with online classes at home. You might even get study room ideas for your kids!

Ang galing ni daddy!PHOTO BY Courtesy of Raine DropsMom Raine Drops says this study table was made by her husband “na hindi naman karpintero.” She says, “Wood galing sa tabi-tabi, paint na tira-tira. Nothing fancy, just functional.” Props to the dad, though, for making an effort for his kids!

Any surface can be a study table!PHOTO BY Courtesy of Avi GingMom Avi Ging says that condo dwellers have super limited space, which is why they converted their dresser to function as their daughter’s study area, as well. We think it’s a great idea!
Thanks to online classes, the kids have taken over the living room!PHOTO BY Courtesy of Mau FernandezADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOWMom Mau Fernandez shares her daughter’s simple setup in their living room. “Table na de-tupi, ‘pag tapos na ang online class nililigpit at tinitiklop na agad para may space na sa sala,” she says.
“Ate, I want to learn, too!”PHOTO BY Courtesy of Maybel Dimailig-SapicoThis photo is so cute! Mom Maybel Dimailig-Sapico shares that they decided to have online classes in the dining room, “para mas maluwang kasi nakiki-sit-in si bunso.
We can feel that this boy is eager to learn!PHOTO BY Courtesy of Lhay Anne MaMom Lhay Anne Ma made use of stools to create a makeshift learning area for her son. One functions as a table while the other is where his tablet is propped. We love that school supplies are in full display as well — it helps motivate the child!
We must say that this learning corner looks adorable!PHOTO BY Courtesy of Lhay Anne MaMom Vhia Vicente says they invested in a collapsible table because they also have limited space. We love the bin on the side, which can hold a number of your child’s things including pens and other school supplies.
The girls look like they’re having fun in class!PHOTO BY Courtesy of Irish CasaljayADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOWIf you have two or more kids, putting them side by side or in front of each other can help them stay motivated or focused on their schoolwork, just like what mom Irish Casaljay did with her daughters.
Baby is so techie!PHOTO BY Courtesy of Ruby DichosoOne advantage of working at home? Parents on the night shift can lend their gadgets to their kids, just like mom Ruby Dichoso whose son uses her husband's computer. “We don’t have a study room, sa sala lang ‘yan. Nakikigamit lang din siya sa daddy niya,” she shares.
Here’s a good idea: Have a “reinforcement board” that will remind kids of the consequences of their behavior.PHOTO BY Courtesy of Carla Medina-OrcaMom Carla Medina-Orca shares that they repurposed most of their furniture to create a study space for their child. “’Yung table ginagamit din namin as dining table kaya dapat kaunti lang ang nakalagay para mabilis iconvert,” she says. “Ang mahala organized, focused, at kumportable ang aming estudyante.” We agree!
