Jazz up your student digs

Elements bedroom collection from £6.99, Dunelm

If you've just arrived at Uni and find your accommodation a little cramped and depressing, don't despair. With just a few minor inexpensive adjustments, you will have it feeling like home in no time. Begin with the bed. Dress it in your own individual style.

Vintage Bird Nest cushion, £9.99, Dunelm

Decorate the bed with plump cushions so that during the day it can almost double up as a sofa and drape a cosy throw at the end too.

Alarm clock wall sticker, £38, Spin Collective

Decorate those bare walls with posters, your very own artwork or wall stickers. Just make sure that anything that you put up will not leave a mark behind once it's removed at the end of your tenancy.

Ice Cream Lolly Lights, £7.95, Prezzybox

That bright ceiling light is great for studying, but when you want to prepare for a big night out or chill at home with your friends you want to take the luminosity in the room down a notch or too. Opt for a couple of funky side lights or perhaps a contemporary take on traditional fairy twinkles.
