University Room

As my first ever post on this blog, i thought it would be nice for you, to get to know me better, so i have opened the doors to my flat and let all of you in. Also i thought it might useful for students who like me, have just moved away from home but need a little inspiration on decorating their room to make it feel a bit more homely and less like a small, empty wooden box.

firstly the bed, the place where students probably spend most of their time (besides maybe the pub!) due to us students basically living in our beds, it is important to make it a comfy place to relax. Add some cushions, your favourite teddy  (you're never to old for one) and a fluffy blanket and you are pretty much sorted.

Bird Cushions  | Homecare
Soft Cream Cushions | Primark
Sloth Teddy | South Lakes Wildlife Park

to prevent feeling home sick and for a great decoration tip, print some photographs off and hang them  either on a piece of string or on some fairy lights like me. i have a selection of photographs that make me happy when i am feeling slightly home sick or sad, including ones of my family and pets, but you can have pictures or photographs of whatever you like and be inventive. maybe hang up all the concert tickets you have collected over the years or lots of magazine cuttings of harry styles, whatever you want. the key is to make your dorm room your own. just be you.

also i hung my fair lights up with little sticky hooks that do not damage the wall, so totally following dorm room rules.

 After you bed is sorted and your room is feeling more homely,  it's up to you to put whatever you like into your room. Below are a few examples of what i have lying around, mainly on my desk, to inspire me when I'm doing my endless amounts of uni work, and just to make the place look pretty.
