How To Personalise/Decorate a University Room

I'm definitely a student who loves sleep..ZZZ

1. Buy some cushions, a blanket and some cuddly toys to make your bed super comfy and cute. 

My 'Believe in Magic' pillow was purchased on my 21st Birthday at Hollywood Studios at DisneyWorld. You can buy similar products- here. The other cushions were bought from B&M for £5 each...bargain!! The little pig was bought by my Mum when I first moved to University 3 years ago and Donald Duck was gifted to me on my placement year at the Disney offices.

Make-Up station..should be work desk

2. Don't leave your desk empty. There is nothing more depressing than empty space or a desk full of university work/books. 

I love make-up, as you all know. It was important to me that I make my desk a space for creativity, and my creativity is shown through creating different make-up looks at the moment. I also love my adorable Holly Willoughby desk mirror which I bought from BHS.

Snack basket is an essential

3. Keep a basket at the end of your bed full of all your favourite yummy snacks.

I hate going to the kitchen when you fancy a bit of binge eating in front of a Netflix film. So I keep all my snacks at the end of my bed in a basket my best friend gave to me for my Birthday. My favourite snacks include Haribo, Caramel cake bars, porridge, animal biscuits, penguin biscuits and Jelly Tots. I'm really healthy as you can tell..

I like to make my room a calm and chilled environment

Cute touches make you feel at home

4. Bring things that you love to dot around your room which say something about you.

I love Disney, so I have a Beauty and The Beast film poster and a Disney princess stationary set. My love of candles has also grown, so I keep tealight candles and small Yankee candles everywhere to light at night time. My light up 'K' was bought for me by my Dad for Christmas and its my most glam item I have; it's the best. You can buy one at Hobbycraft- here.

Presents from friends to make you smile

5. Bring gifts from friends and family to remind you of home.

My friend Philippa made this for my 21st Birthday, as she knows I love motivational sayings and photos of our memories together (we were Disney interns together, Mickey came to our office eeeek.)

Every student needs a bar

6. Create a bar in your room to brighten up your space (and avoid other students stealing your drinks!!)

I keep my mugs, coffee and sugar in my room, to save space in the kitchen and make my room feel homely. Any bottles and squash are mostly kept in my room to save space, but I also love how colourful they make my room. My 'Run Forrest Run' sign was bought from the Bubba Gump restaurant in London; Forrest Gump is one my favourite films.

Polaroids, old family snaps and motivational words

7. Have a wall full of photographic memories, so your family and friends are never too far. 

I used an App on my phone to get my pictures printed in Polaroid form (unfortunately the App no longer exists, but I'm sure there are similar Apps). I also have a few postcards from Bubba Gump and my travels to Asia. I love how colourful my wall is and these pictures make me smile every day.

Candles and the most important Woman in my life

8. Candles to make your room smell lovely and to help you relax.

I was gifted a Yankee candle melt burner for Christmas, and these are amazing. The melts last for ages and smell gorgeous with limited smoke involved. I also have a reed diffuser elsewhere in my room. I find it so relaxing to have these on whilst I study and after 10pm to help me unwind.
