For many people, moving into student accommodation is the first time they have had a space that is completely their own. It is not just about ensuring they have all the essentials, but also that they can express themselves.
Bedding
You need a minimum of two sets of everything: sheets, quilt covers, pillow cases, to allow for time spent washing and drying. Local climate may influence whether you want a thicker quilt. Choose a pillow to suit your sleeping style. Do not forget a mattress protector.
Lighting
Lamps both beside your bed and on your desk ensure that you have adequate light for reading, studying and other tasks. Strings of lights can be used for the aesthetics, to create warmth.
Storage
Boxes, bags, hangers and dividers can all be important when storing items in wardrobes, on shelves and under the bed. Depending on your accommodation, you may also end up storing non-bedroom items, such as bathroom towels, toiletries or kitchen utensils. Student flats Exeter come in many forms, as can be seen at https://www.exeteruniversityaccommodation.co.uk/student-flats-exeter/.
Personal elements
Customise with personal elements such as family photographs or posters and artwork relevant to your interests. This is how you assert your own identity. Other popular personal touches include rugs and plants, generally those that require little maintenance.
Cleaning supplies
If you want to keep your bedroom clean, you will need cleaning supplies. This includes dusters and disinfectant wipes as well as larger items such as vacuum cleaners. You may want to keep your laundry basket and drying rack in your room too.
Studying
If you are going to be studying in your bedroom, then you need to think about the desk and an ergonomic chair. You will need space for your computer and books, good internet access, and office supplies such as notebooks and pens. Ensure the area where you study is well-lit.
Once you have fully furnished and decorated your student accommodation, you will be ready to take on the next step of your university journey.
