15 Cute Room Décor Ideas for Every Style

It’s hard to get your room to look nice when you’re in your early twenties – especially when you’re still at university (and especially if you’re renting somewhere strick about marks on the wall/any kind of redecoration). Most student rooms will comprise of blu-tacked photos on the walls, some fairy lights, a ‘boho’ wall hanging, and maybe some piles of books in a corner (depending on whether or not the room in question belongs to an English lit student). I’ve compiled a list, here, of some cute room décor ideas that you can easily do in your student house, regardless of your budget – a lot of them are small, too, which is handy for anyone who moves around a lot:

1. Dangling Lamp and Cord

Minimalist alternative to a bedside lamp – just make sure you’re allowed to hang it up!

2. Cool Mirrors

If you can’t hang up a floor-length mirror, lean it against the wall and just tell people it’s an aesthetic choice.

3. Rugs

Rugs are an easy way to decorate a room, and you can usually find pretty cheap ones online. They’re fantastic for cold winter mornings, too.

4. That fabric

You know the one I mean. The ‘I just came back from South-East Asia/India/South America and am super cultured’ one. A lot of people have theirs as canopies above their bed, but I keep mine on my sofa.

5. Fairy lights

Another student room décor staple – hang them on your wall/around your bedframe/anywhere, really, and bask in their warm, hazy glow as you listen to your flatmate explain why you absolutely cannot have the heating on.

6. Pillows

Hit up the nearest Ikea, buy a few of their décor pillows and loads of pillowcases and you’re sorted (in theory – we all know how those Ikea trips go in practice).

7. Plants

Get some greenery going and buy some cheap potted plants to put around your room. They look great gathered on a windowsill! If you’re scared about killing them, get a cactus or dried flowers – or, better yet, fake plants.

8. Framing

Instead of just sticking your posters and pictures onto the walls with blu-tack, invest in some cheap frames! You can lean these against the wall if you can’t hang them up.

9. Wall Shelves

They’re a great way of adding some more dimension and levels to your room (if you’re allowed to make holes in the wall, that is). This Urban Outfitters one is great:

10. Ladder Shelf

These are really cool, and a great way to add storage space to smaller rooms.

11. Trays

Use old trays you find at flea markets/charity shops to store trinkets like rings and bracelets.

12. Clothing Racks

This is an easy, cool, minimalist way of storing your clothes – keep your clothes on seasonal rotation to make sure you get the most wear out of your wardrobe! This is one of the best cute room décor ideas!

13. Candles

They smell great and make your room a bit cosier and hygge, and when your roommate still hasn’t let you turn the heating on, you can light one of these bad boys up and warm the tips of your fingers!

14. New Sheets

This is probably one of the easiest, quickest ways of updating your room décor. You can get cheap sets from Primark, but personally, I think it’s wise to invest in good-quality sheets – Zara Home always has some cute sheets in:

15. Makeup Storage

If you’re a makeup wearer, invest in some storage for your bits and bobs – it’ll make your room look a lot neater! Shop below:
