Off to university A room to call your own

Student accommodation can be a mixed bag,
ranging from basic box rooms with a bed,
desk and wardrobe (often with the bonus of
large communal spaces) to modern studio
apartments and shared houses. Whatever
the space, putting your stamp on a room will
instantly make it feel like your own.
Transform student accommodation with these ideas from Suzi Carr,
a Home Design Stylist at John Lewis Edinburgh.

Kitchen
Stocking the kitchen can be tough. It’s likely
that your housemates will bring bits and

the drawers at home: if your parents or
caregivers have spare items you can borrow
such as a colander, cutlery or bowls, that’s a
few less things that you’ll have to buy. Run
through your favourite meals to cook, and
think about what kind of kitchen equipment
you’ll need: a sieve, grater, pan, baking tray,
