5 Interesting Compact Study Spaces!

The temperatures are soaring in Bangalore resonating with the rising anxiety levels of children appearing for exams.

March is synonymous with intense studies, and spaces devoted to it being used the maximum. Study spaces have come a long way from being just a table and a few book shelves for the child in the house. Furthermore, as increasing number of people choose to work from home, study spaces have evolved into home offices as well.

Space crunch is becoming the norm in most living spaces at present and effective usage of the same is the need of the hour.

Let us look at a few such interesting study spaces which have used minimum space efficiently.
