Now that I've settled into my accommodation, after 2 weeks of being here I would like you show you all what my room has turned to look like. To be honest I am very pleased with what I've done with it. I have made it as homely as I can in a way where it sort of looks like my old room but without the mint green walls which I'm actually glad to get away from, I'm liking the neutral colours.
Yes my room is small, but its comfortable and big enough to do my studying and to possibly fit a friend on a blow up mattress when they come to stay.
I've taken a photo of each area of my room for you to have a little look at... Enjoy!
 |
| 3/4 sized bed |
So let's start with the bed. The size is a 3/4 bed which is smaller than my one at home but I can't tell much of a difference. It's not the best mattress but it will do. Though I have got 2 mattress protectors on to make it extra soft.
If you are wondering, I got my striped duvet cover and zig zag throw from Dunelm.
Stripe Duvet Cover
The throw was in the sale so no longer on the website, you can always go check out your closest store to see if they have it!
The small grey and flamingo cushion are both from Primark a few months back.
 |
| Desk |
Opposite my bed is my desk, which is where i'll be doing most of my studying. I keep my kettle in my room so it saves me going to the kitchen to get a green tea in the morning, very handy!
I have a calendar so that I don't forget to pay me next terms rent...very important!
 |
| DVD's and Books |
Under my window I have a shelf full of my DVD's and a couple of books (student cooking and a toasties recipe book), I have so many more at home but there's not really anywhere I can fit them!
 |
| Wardrobe |
Good sized wardrobe and draws. However, I've made it better by adding a David Bowie poster to it!
 |
| Desk shelf |
This shelf is above my desk where I just put random crap but I cleared it up just for you guys. ft a shot glass and a fold up wine glass....oh and cute pictures of friends and family.
 |
| Second shelf |
I like this shelf a lot as it contains a lot of memories. A jar on inspiration, prom picture with my mum, G's 18th birthday, a card from my brother and very sentimental thing is a rock I collected from the Ardeche in France... always reminds me of what an amazing holiday it was... and a cool pad of sticky notes.
 |
| Top shelf |
The top shelf is my favourite as it has many pictures of my friends and family, to look at when I miss home <3
 |
| Entrance to my room |
Here is the entrance into my room, it looks narrow in the picture but really it;s a tiny bit bigger :').
Ft. my Red Hot Chili Peppers poster. I also added a rug as the carpet isn't the nicest material to walk on!
 |
| Now lets enter into the bathroom...without a bath. |
Don't worry I have a shower just no bath which I do miss about being at home, being able to relax in a hot bath with candles after a long day.
 |
| Bathroom Shelf |
Obviously I have quite a few products... just like any girl would! (oh there's more but you don't need to see that)...
 |
| Mirror selfie ft. the sink |
So that's me, just gotten out of the shower which explains the wet hair and make-up free face. Sink is small and you can't drink the water which means a trip to the kitchen to fill up my kettle!
 |
| Shower! |
Standard shower, heats up very quickly which a low and the power of it is amazing compared to the one I'm used to back in Norfolk. Will miss this shower during the Christmas holidays when I'm at home :').
That's it! This is my home for the next year. I hope this may have given you some inspiration if you're finding it hard what to put in your new room or simply enjoyed having a snoop :)
Love
