Cosy stuff for your Uni room :)

When you move into your room at Uni (or any empty new room), whether it be halls or a house, it takes a while for it to become a home. It feels like a bit of an empty shell. But you can make it really homey by not only covering your notice boards in photos of family and friends but also furnishing it with some really cute decorative items or just stuff it full of cushions and blankets! To the left is my uni room in my second year house. The theme is loosely pink and white and I bought loads of cheap stuff to make it feel a bit more me. I'm guessing quite alot of you may prefer a monochrome black and white look or a multicoloured theme or maybe just polka dots everywhere or something!

The shops that I bought all my furnishings in weren't places like John Lewis or Next Homeware or Laura Ashley because they're way too pricey for my little student budget. Instead I went for my old favourites: Matalan, Wilkinson and Asda. In the photo to the right I got candles from Asda, a flower from Wilkinson and a "Love" photo holder from Matalan all for £11.
