By adding your own unique touches, you can make your new dorm at university or private housing feel more like home. Several simple suggestions for personalizing your space are provided below.
Photographs
Your room will instantly feel more personal and like home as a result. Putting in pictures of your loved ones will make your space cheery. Why not decorate your wall even more by pinning some thread and little pegs to it?
Fairy lights
Everyone like fairy lights, and they instantly make a room brighter. You’ll instantly feel cosier if you place them around your bed or noticeboard.
Use your noticeboard.
Most dorm rooms at universities or private student accommodations have a noticeboard where you may display your favorite mementos. From event tickets to festival lanyards to inspirational phrases, hang anything that makes you smile to personalize your space.
Plants
It’s a well-known fact that having plants in your room will make you happier and have a favorable effect on your mental health. Bring a cactus to put on your desk; they require very little care and are simple to maintain.
Bright mattresses or rugs
Why not go shopping for some cheerful home accents before you arrive? When it comes to all those movie nights in bed, you’ll be grateful you added some color with pillows and carpets in your Student Accommodation.
Set up a good study area
It’s a good idea to design a beautiful study place in your room so that you feel more inspired to sit down and work. You can make desk files out of used cereal boxes to keep everything neat and organised without spending a lot of money!
Tea lights on batteries
You won’t run the risk of setting off any fire alarms in the hallways and upsetting all your new neighbors because they are safe and cosy. To make flowers seem nicer and to give your space a cosier feel, you can even place them in ancient glass jars.
Desk adornments
Get yourself some desk accessories that are both attractive and useful.
Paper chase
A great approach to make your binge-watching time “useful” is to embellish ordinary stationery by wrapping boxes with lovely paper as an alternative.
Bottle assortment
Empty drink bottles are one thing new students seem to accumulate in large quantities. Whether you enjoy good wine or craft beer, these can serve as an elegant visual representation of your sophisticated drinking preferences. They can create a powerful visual depiction of our regrets for the rest of us. In either case, it’s a topic of discourse.
Wall hangings
Those enormous pin boards are the one feature that shouts “university halls” more than anything else. Because you can attach things to them, these are fantastic for hanging up fancy fabric because it takes no time at all. Large pieces of fabric can be purchased from department stores or haberdashery stores, and inexpensive scarves can be found in thrift or vintage stores. You could even go all out and purchase one of those mandalas from the market that has elephants or other shady-looking greenery printed on it, then pretend you bought it during your gap year. Nobody will be aware.
