After being at university for nearly two weeks I feel like my room is finally coming together - hurrah! Having a fresh new canvas to work with meant that I could create a room that reflected my style, whilst still feeling homely. I love how it has turned out so far :-)
1. Colour scheme
I started by picking out my bedding, I knew what my room in my accommodation would look like from images online and therefore worked with those images to create the base of my desired room. Luckily my walls are white so anything goes! From the images I saw that my floor was blue and my curtains also (although to my dismay they were red when I arrived but hey ho) and therefore decided I wanted a blue, white and grey theme :-) For a homely touch I placed two elephant toys given to me by my boyfriend and parents on the bed.
Bedding: Dunelm Mill £4.99- £24.99 (Evangaline Bedding)
Cushions: The Range - similar ones available at Asda £10 (Grey Faux Fur Cushion)
Elephant Toys: Any Toy Shop
2. Shelf Space
I transformed my shelf space with a selection of fashion books, which add a pop of colour to the shelf and also look super cute, a little plant to add some life, my polaroid camera, a Vogue travel flask and a storage bin which is handy for anything you do not want on display or when you need to quickly tidy your room when your parents visit!

Polaroid Camera: Urban Outfitters £90 (Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Camera White)
Vogue Travel Flask: Vogue Festival

3. Pin Board
As I wanted to stick with my neutral theme, I decided that I needed to cover up the bright red notice board on my wall. To do this I flicked through magazines and found images or samples of text that I liked and stuck to pictures that were predominately white but still had a sense of colour in them and slowly began tearing out, pinning and arranging them on the board. To make the board more personalised I included polaroid pictures I had taken with friends, family (or the dog!), tickets from events I had attended and also handy University booklets.
Hope you enjoyed this post :-)
Lots of love,
