1: Posters/ Pictures

You may not have had any posters since you were 14, but I’m not talking JT topless. Posters of your favourite skyline, fashion figure, or words of wisdom are easy to come by, cheap to buy and can really make those bare walls a little less, well, bare.

3: Blankets and Cushions

Every one loves a good scatter cushion and fluffy blankets, so grab a couple of both to give your room a little more colour, theme or style, as well as keep you warm when you can’t afford to turn on the heating.

8: Pictures

You might think it will make you more homesick, but in fact, it only makes you feel more at home. Create a collage, or simply cover a wall in drunken antics with your friends. Whatever the style or display, it can turn your room from a bland space into a home away from home.

5: Fake flowers

Fake is always best, especially when it comes to flowers. No need to worry about water, yet they always seem pretty as ever. A couple of fake blooms in a pretty vase, and you’ve got yourself a nice centre piece for your window.

6: Storage

Storage doesn’t have to look ugly, and can make what should be ugly, rather simplistic. Raid card shops for colourful printed boxes, and head to home stores for wired baskets to store beauty products and make-up.
