"Emily Lilburn, 21, says colour-changing lightbulbs and battery operated candles helped her make three bland and bare uni rooms colourful and cosy. "I never have the big light on," she says. "Instead I use lamps with 5 colour-changing light bulbs. I go for deep orange or warm red and it looks so much cosier." Emily says patterned bedding is a must."
"Another way to add colour and texture is with faux plants, says Emily, a third year student of psychology in education at the University of York. "You can get small ones from as little as 5," she says. "If I can bring a bit of nature into my bedroom it's calming and I feel like I'm outside." Emily says all her changes are temporary."
Colour-changing lightbulbs and battery-operated candles can replace harsh overhead lighting to create warm, cosy atmospheres. Patterned bedding adds colour and visual interest on a budget. Faux plants introduce texture and a sense of nature without maintenance. Adhesive strips allow large prints to be hung without damaging walls, preserving deposits. Cheap vinyl can recolour cupboards and simulate marble worktops, offering a low-cost kitchen makeover. Temporary, removable solutions enable extensive stylistic changes in rented properties while avoiding permanent alterations. Budget-friendly choices can make university rooms and family rentals feel personalised and comfortable. Many accessories are affordable, with items often costing as little as 4 to 10.
