Uni Bedroom Buys

I can't wait to have my own house so I can decorate it and have it how I want. But for now, as a student, I can only dream. Saying this though, after one year at uni I've learnt that student accommodation can be quite rotten and small touches can make it homely and much more comfortable to live in.


1 & 2 - Homebase
3 & 4 - Matalan
5 & 6 - Unknown (Gifts)

I plan to have everything a cream colour with hints of pink and lilac from the floral prints. I've also picked up a mirror and some other odd bits, but these are my favourites, especially the bed sheets! The colours are similar to my bedroom at home, I love the 'shabby chic' sort of look, I think all the items are cute but elegant.

What items could you not live without in your bedroom?

  3. the student house I was in for two years after halls was just dire! thankfully i had the best room but I spruced it up with a throw, pillows, fairy lights (think lighting is really important to make it cozy), a rug, and a load of other knickknacks to make it feel more homely! I also changed the curtains because they were naff dolphin ones...

    1. Oh no! Some of them can be really bad! My housemates have moved into my place already and they said my room was dreadful - so they've redecorated the whole thing - so exciting! I totally agree, it all makes such a difference :) xx

  5. I'm a student living at home and I have just re-decorated my room to get a little student dorm kind of feeling. Haha Sad... I know. I love those floral things you have. I am trying to keep a white, pink and cream theme but that can always change if I see something pretty :) And I think I have seen #5 in debenhams. Great blog post.

    1. Aww no it's not sad, it's a really cute idea! Thank you, yeah cream is always a good 'base' colour so you can change things up if you get bored. Ah yeah it seems like the sort of place to find it! Thank you :) xx
