Uni Essentials

It’s almost that time of year, when we deck the halls – the uni halls of course. Making a space feel like your own is one of the most important parts of student life, and choosing the right home comforts can really make the start of university, or the return after holidays a little bit easier.

Uni Bedroom Essentials

Getting a good night’s sleep might not be your top priority at university, but after all that studying, and partying, there’s nothing better than sliding in between comfy, crisp sheets with a perfectly plump pillow to match. Shop bedding, pillows and duvets with a choice of tog ratings so you can choose the combination that looks great and feels cosy.

Uni Kitchen Essentials

Let’s face it, your staple meals of noodles, pasta and more noodles will taste so much better off your own plates and cutlery. You won’t need lots of gadgets and gizmos for your kitchen at uni, but a few pots, pans and utensils will mean you can whip up some quick and easy meals whenever you need to.

Uni Bathroom Essentials

You’re probably going to be sharing a bathroom, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun with your accessories. Choose bright towels and a bathmat so you can spot yours in the wash. Adding a few handy bathroom storage solutions such as a caddy or small set of drawers will be ideal for keeping your toiletries tidy, and don’t forget the laundry basket, you’re on your own from here on in!

Uni Storage Solutions

When you’re sharing your space with your housemates, or other students in halls of residence, you’ll want to make sure you have your own little corners to make your own. There are plenty of storage solutions to help carve out a little space just for you.

In communal areas like the kitchen, use storage tubs and canisters that you can label with your name in cupboards and your shelf in the fridge. Storage boxes and chests of drawers will work in every room to keep bits and pieces hidden away, and again, the label maker is your friend!


Back To Uni Essentials

And once you’ve covered all the essentials for dressing your nest, it’s time to add the little details that make it feel a little more special. Give your desk the Insta-ready makeover it needs with sleek stationery and accessories, with the perfect bag to carry it all to lectures.

And don’t forget comfy clothes and slippers because you’ll need them for studying, lounging, catching up with friends on the sofa and when they look this good, you’ll probably wear them out to do the food shop too.
