Just moved into your student digs and feeling a bit “meh” about the place? Fear not, making your room feel like home is easier than you think! Here’s the lowdown on how to put your stamp on your new space and make it feel like your own.
First things first, personalise it. Pin up some photos of friends, family, or those epic holiday/night out pics. Got some quirky art or cool stuff to show off? Hang it up and give your room that personal touch. It’s all about making it your space.
Next up, add some soft touches. A few cushions and a cozy blanket can turn your bed into the ultimate chill spot. Perfect for movie nights, study breaks, or just lounging around with friends.
Now, let’s talk lighting. Swap out the standard bulb for some fairy lights or a cool lamp. Trust us, lighting can totally change the vibe of your room – making it way warmer and more inviting. Plus, fairy lights are a total win for late-night study sessions.
Bring the outdoors in with a few plants. They freshen up the space and are way easier to care for than pets. Not a green thumb? No worries – a low-maintenance cactus or some faux greenery will do the trick nicely!
Don’t forget to make it smell good. Light a scented candle or use a diffuser to keep your room smelling fresh. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a long day of lectures and library marathons.
Get organised with storage boxes, desk organisers, and a laundry basket. A clutter-free room is a happy room and makes finding that essay you swore you left on your desk a whole lot easier.
If you’ve got roommates, let’s make it social. Get them involved in decorating. It’s a great way to break the ice and turn your space into a shared home.
A few simple ways to make your new room feel like home and you’ll be settling into student life in no time! Share some pics on Instagram and tag us in (@yourtribestudent). We can’t wait to see them!
