It’s that time again! First-years are getting ready to move into campus accommodation and the pressure is on.
However, it’s not as hard as you may think to turn your dorm room into a comfortable and useful place on a tight budget, especially with Pep’s reasonably priced options. Start by concentrating on the furnishings and bedding that will have the greatest influence.
Pep has a range of bedding sets in fashionable styles that are soft, and reasonably priced, making it simple to furnish a cosy resting space that feels like home.
When it comes to student accommodation, the rooms are on the standard so they are not very spacious so it is important that you maximise the space that you have without overwhelming your room. You can do this by getting multipurpose furniture that saves space and provides additional storage when needed, such as desks and chairs that can be folded up and stacked. Functionality is key in a student res room.
What better way to share these ideal items than to add a few videos from TikTok of students like yourself who are also trying to figure out how to best navigate shipping for res and having a very tight budget?
Remember, only the essentials are advised. The basic kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom items are recommended to purchase and remember you are shopping for your away from home not at home so let’s not go overboard even though we tend to do so sometimes, myself included.
