3. Make it comfy 

Striking cushions are a must to brighten up any student room. Whether dressing your bed, making a chair comfortable or being used to sit on the floor, cushions are super-useful. Make a statement with striking covers in a range of clashing colours or patterns.

4. Brilliant boxes

There’s never enough storage for all your stuff in halls. So rather than piling papers and books into bulging cupboards, use sturdy storage boxes. TJENA boxes look great enough to put on show throughout your university years.
