    Moving into student accommodation is amazing! Having your own space that you can make your own, maybe for the first time, is great, but without adding any personal touches to your room, you may feel some disconnect to it, so let’s see how you can spruce up the place! Houseplants Houseplants are a brilliant way to brighten up your room and to brighten your life at the same time! Looking after plants can reduce stress and improve your mood. We suggest keeping a plant or two around, and don't worry if you don't have a green thumb! There are plenty of plants that thrive with less care, such as pothos, sansevieria and so many more! We recommend this article for more beginner-friendly plants! https://www.allaboutgardening.com/hardy-houseplants/ Mirrors Looking good! We think that mirrors would be perfect for all of our stunning residents, but did you know that mirrors also help give the illusion of a larger space? Yep! A large standing perfect for checking your outfit before a night out, selfies but also, they make your room feel more spacious. A standing mirror, or even a few smaller mirrors spotted around works perfectly. Mood lighting We cannot exaggerate how much mood lighting can change the vibe of a room- whether you are a late-night gamer, a last minute crammer or just need to wind down, turning down harsh overhead lighting is a must. Reduce headaches and help destress with relaxing, soft and warm lighting. Rugs Getting a cute rug that matches your style is a great way to spruce up your living space. It can help create a warmer feeling in your room. One of the best benefits though, is the way having a rug can dampen sound and reduce excess noise- a stylish but functional addition! Art prints Support your local artists and go to markets or independent shops where you can pick out prints and tapestries that feel like you. Iconinc apartments are decked out with plenty of shelf space, where you can add any pretty trinkets that make you feel happy, because at the end of the day, you should be decorating your space to make you happy! Command Strips While not a decoration, this may be the best suggestion on this list! We highly recommend command strips for anything you might want to hook or stick onto the wall- they can hold a lot of weight without ruining walls! Perfect for posters, tapestries, fairy lights, hooks and so much more. They’ll help you feel free to decorate with ease and flexibility! Amazon: Command strips If you feel like you’re still in need of inspiration, we recommend looking at tiktok and pinterest! There are hundreds of different recommendations as well as different styles, we’re sure you’ll find something that fits your vibe.
