For many university students, moving away from home for the first time can be both an exhilarating but nerve wracking experience. Creating a home that seems cosy, welcome, and familiar can be a tough challenge when living in student accommodation. So what should you consider when making your student accommodation feel like home? And how can you achieve the right environment for relaxing and studying?
What are the important steps for making your student accommodation feel like home?
To make your student accommodation feel more homely you should consider:
- Personalising the space- You should consider bringing a few things from home, such as mementos from your families, pieces of art, or your favourite throw pillows, to offer a sense of home to your new surroundings. You will feel more at ease and at home in your student accommodation as a result of this.
- Adding some greenery- In addition to adding vitality to a space, plants may also filter the air, lower stress levels, and improve mood. You can pick low-maintenance plants that do well in a variety of lighting settings, such as succulents, spider plants, or pothos.
- Cozy bedding- Creating a cosy and comfy bedroom is essential for your wellbeing and mental health. You can sleep soundly and awaken feeling rejuvenated with the aid of a comfy mattress, pleasant bedding, and soft pillows. A comfortable and appealing room may also be made by adding a soft rug and a few throw cushions, making it ideal for unwinding, studying, or hanging out with friends.
- Mood lighting- Last but not least, by adding some mood lighting, such string lights or a floor lamp, you may make the space feel friendly. A relaxing environment can be produced by using soft lighting, which also makes the area feel warm and welcoming. Moreover, adding some candles or an aroma diffuser can create a cosy atmosphere.
