As a student when you are doing up your own place, you have your limitations. You have a tight budget, you don't have much time and you want to be cool. The next few years are going to be a blur of temporary living arrangements that range from college dorms to shared apartments or paying guest digs. Whether you beg, borrow or buy the necessities, make the most of your allocated space and kick it up with your unique personality.
Comfort is the key
Yes, you are there to study hard, and play hard. But take the time to plan your personal living quarters so that you can rest, relax and rejuvenate. Your body will thank you for a comfortable mattress that gives you the support you need for a healthy rest. Choose a standard twin-size mattress and try it out; too hard or too soft and your neck and spine will suffer. Bedding is plentiful and less expensive for twin, and your bed will easily fit into a small space.
Lined up against a wall, a twin bed readily converts to a sofa. Add long bolsters and plump pillows for comfort. One or two fat floor cushions are indispensable. Cover these with hard-wearing, cotton canvas or soft and cuddly fleece. Both fabrics come in a fabulous array of colours and patterns that give you the freedom to set your own style.
There's nothing like a hot shower or deep bubble bath to soothe. Refresh and recharge your mind and body. Shared bathrooms demand rules of etiquette and cleanliness. Keep your personal grooming products in a portable plastic bath basket that can be easily identified and stored either in the bathroom or your bedroom. A personalized laundry bag will add practical pizzazz.
Be practical
Always think multi-purpose when setting up a small space. A bed that is a sofa, an ottoman that is a footrest, an extra seat which opens up for storage, a table that is a desk, a comfortable chair for reading, watching TV and eating and a low dresser that is a bedside table on the move.
Always go for readily convertible and easy-to-move stuff. Look for knock down furniture that will hold up after being assembled more than once like the foldable hanging bags for clothing , sturdy storage containers that stack or that are on wheels. Buy a few small, washable area carpets as well.
Always be prepared. A basic tool box is indispensable for hanging pictures and mirrors, tightening bolts on furniture and other assorted fix-ups. Home and hardware stores will have a starter kit that should include hammer, screw drivers, pliers, wall plugs, nails and screws, duct tape, metal retractable measuring tape, and a level. And don't forget a flashlight. To go along with the toolbox, you will also need a basic first aid kit. Use baskets as containers for your odds and ends. And there you are, who said students can't live in style.
