The first university term is now in full swing, which means that most students will have settled into their new accommodation for the year nicely. If you’ve spruced up your room to make it more homely, you could win big by entering this competition!
Landlord Insurance provider Just Landlords, which protects student rental properties, understands the importance of making your accommodation nice and homely in order to feel more comfortable there.
If you’ve recently moved into new student accommodation, there are many finishing touches you can add to your room to make it more cosy – especially considering that autumn is a great time for snug interiors!
All you have to do to enter this exciting new competition is take some photos of your cosy room (before and after pics would be great) and post them on Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #AutumnIsHere and tagging @JustLandlords. The competition closes on Thursday 30th November 2017, so don’t forgot to post those snaps!
The first place winner will receive a £100 John Lewis voucher to help them continue adding seasonal pieces to their properties, while the second and third place winners will get a £50 or £25 Amazon voucher respectively!
It can be tricky to put your own spin on a student property without causing damage or breaking the tenancy agreement by decorating, but Just Landlords has some top ideas that your landlord will let you get away with, so that you can feel more at home in your accommodation:
Bring photos from home
Putting pictures up of those you love or memories you have from home will help you feel more familiar in your new surroundings, and cheer you up if you ever feel homesick. Picking out some nice frames will also put a personal touch on your room, without causing any damage.
Pick nice new bedding
Your student property is likely to be the first place you’ve ever lived away from home, so now’s your chance to make it yours. Picking some nice new bedding that reflects your personality will enable you to bring some life into your room – and it needn’t be expensive.
Add cushions and throws
Autumn is the perfect time to make your place cosy, as you’ll need some space to get snug as the colder weather draws in. Fluffy cushions and knitted throws are perfect additions at this time of year, which let you bring on-trend pieces into your room without the need for decorating.
Choose some warm lighting
Adding fairy lights or candles (if they’re allowed) to your room will instantly warm the place up and help it feel nice and cosy this autumn. Place lighting in the corner of your room to form a snug nook. If you’re opting for candles, choose a seasonal scent to create a peaceful ambience in your space.
Why not try some of these tips to spruce up your student property this autumn? If you do transform your room into a snug space, remember to enter the #AutumnIsHere competition for your chance to win.
