Moving to university in the current time is a mixed emotion. On one hand, you are thrilled to embrace the new chapter in your life, whereas, on the other hand, you are inquisitive about decorating your new room away from home.

A university room is not just a room but a lot of things, it is a place to study, to relax, and also to socialize. You may also think of it as a blank canvas and draw a picture in your mind of how you want to decorate it to make your new place more homely.

Moreover, once you have unpacked your bag and spread your bedsheets, you will probably want to jazz it up a bit more. From personalized pinboards to pretty lights and printed tapestry, here are a few simple bedroom decor ideas for students who are planning to move into student accommodation. 

Renter-friendly student bedroom decor

There's a tiny matter about your deposit to consider before you go crazy behind painting walls and drilling holes. Damage is often frowned upon by accommodation providers, and it could cost you your security deposit. Fear not: you can still design the bedroom of your dreams without making your landlord frown upon you.

And damages don’t just stop at drilling holes. As students end up spending most of their time in their bedrooms, potential problems are likely going to occur in the same area. They could have guests over and we all know things can go wrong and stuff can break in the parties. And when it comes to breaking stuff, it’s often questioned whether students need renter’s insurance, and to be fair, it is subjective. But generally, it is safe to say that students are a bit cavalier when it comes to taking care of their belongings. Therefore, it is often recommended to have a cover of a strong insurance policy, in case things do go as planned.

Personalized notice/pin boards

The beauty of a personalized notice or pinboard does not only lie in its essentiality but also its usefulness. You can bring a little homely feeling in your new abode with a classic pinboard to keep your family and friends close to you as you settle in.

You can simply print out your memorable moments and create a collage of your loved ones. A pinboard or a noticeboard will not only bring a customized touch that shuns away any homesickness but will also add a colorful and quirky dimension to your new bedroom. 

However, you may be wondering how you can put up a pinboard without damaging the wall. The answer follows up next!

Wall strips that prevent damage

Say goodbye to decorating your walls but risking it with double-sided tapes. As an alternative, you can consider hanging strips that allow you to beautify your walls without provoking your landlord's fury.

The strips are designed to be invisible and will keep photo frames, paintings, and pinboards in place for a classy appearance without damaging the walls. It's now possible to add art and images to a barren, lifeless wall with these inventive strips.

Did you know that you can use Washi Tape to hang posters and artwork without putting your deposit at risk? The glittery tape is more apparent than hanging strips and may be utilized in a variety of creative ways to create vibrant wall designs.

Light it up!

Student’s bedroom isn't just about decorating it for oneself, but also making it ‘Instagram-able’. Fancy lights are the way to go if you want to make your student room Instagram-worthy. When it comes to lighting up your university bedroom, you have a lot of options to do so. From charming lightboxes to sophisticated bedside lamps, adding light sources may brighten up a room and create a pleasant atmosphere. Lights are an excellent solution to bring a warm, inviting feeling to an otherwise gloomy and uninviting space. Decorative fairy lights are a terrific way to make a student bedroom comfy. Avoid the use of candles to avoid the risk of a fire. On the other hand, electric tea lights keep the impression while safeguarding your deposit. 

Smart storage solutions 

Shifting to a new place might be so overwhelming that you may go a bit overboard when packing. Although the built-in storage in your new room isn't enough, there are a variety of clever storage alternatives that are both useful and attractive.

You may want to customize your student accommodation while boosting storage space with a variety of self-standing solutions, ranging from colorful storage boxes to compact clothes rails. Smart storage solutions are a necessity for new students living away from home since you may be sharing an apartment with a stranger who isn't your friend yet.

Also, when living away from home, your parents' insurance won't cover loss or damage to personal property. This brings us to the second important point to consider, that is, renter's insurance. 

Tapestries can be a mood-changer

Tapestries are a simple and elegant way to style a student's room. Tapestry wall hangings add a classy touch to your bedroom with their texture and color, thanks to their rich fabric and design. Moreover, if you are bored of the same four walls, a tapestry will instantly give your space a fresh new look. The striking design of a tapestry, which comes in a variety of fierce patterns and materials, may also be strung up with strips or clips, keeping you in the landlord's good favor. Heavy wall tapestries add a splash of color and vibrancy, while more subdued motifs blend in effortlessly. Tapestries may be quickly removed and put away when it's time to depart your lodging.

Endnote

In the end, it all boils down to one thing: to be practical. In the modern time, a student's bedroom is not just a place of accommodation but a lot more. It is also a place where they make memories. However, students must remember that while focusing on too much bedroom decor, they must not overlook practicality. If you are moving into a new place away from home, be practical with your decisions and make sure to get insured. There's no better decor than keeping yourself and your belongings safe.
