Make your Uni room your home away from home…
Moving to University can be stressful. What do I take? What will I need? How will I fit all my clothes into that tiny wardrobe? Whether you’re moving into halls or into a student house, its rare it’s going to be as pretty as your bedroom at home, which is why we’ve got some ideas to make it that bit more comfortable…
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.

4: Candles

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.

7: Ornaments
Its easy to pick up some quirky ornaments, whether to fill up an empty shelf or add character. They’re easily add a theme or feel to your room, and you can even get creative and use unconventional objects for a more quirky feel. Find in your local supermarket home section, or even Primark.
