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.
I have a confession to make: When I first toured my apartment, I did not look behind the bathroom door. Rookie move - I know. I was enamored by the large bedroom and ample closet space that I didn't have in my previous apartment. And, to be frank, the offer was too good to refuse. So I signed the lease and moved in shortly thereafter.
I moved into this apartment after getting divorced, selling my house, and moving across the country. I was pretty much starting from scratch when it came to furniture, decor, and my whole outlook on life!
