Decorate your room in the residence hall in Barcelona

Students who choose a residence hall to live abroad, are looking for feeling at home during that time when they say goodbye to their city to embark on a lonely journey for the first time in their lives.

That's why decorating your room in the student residence is critical to preserving that sense of home warmth. The personalization of this space, in which you will spend so many hours, will help you to preserve your identity and keep alive your memories and your family and emotional ties. It is important that between these four walls you feel comfortable to be able to face the obligations and to fulfill the university objectives of this new stage of the best possible form.

We propose you some ideas so that the room of your student residence in Barcelona becomes your preferred space with small advices and details.

Frame your memories

Surely you have photos framed in your current room that take up little space in the suitcase, so you can place them in your new room in order to the change would not  be so abrupt. The frames can easily be placed in any corner and will make you feel closer to yours and the room in which you have spent your whole life.

The smell of home

Sometimes it is the smells that transport us to places and bring back many memories. You can use the same air freshener you had at home, or light that candle you always lit to concentrate on your studies. However, always consult your roommate before using any type of air freshener.

Textile is important

Although it is our student residence in Barcelona we provide you with all the bedding you need, you can always decide to change it for your own duvet cover, or fill your bed with cushions, which will provide a more welcoming and colourful atmosphere.

Plants are always a good choice

Decorating with a plant seems a perfect idea to give a little life to your room. If you are one of those who forgets to water them, there are options of artificial plants that will give that green touch to your space, going through natural.

Take care of the order

Prove that you are independent, responsible and orderly. You no longer have your parents telling you to pick up and keep everything tidy. If books and notes are tidy on your desk, they will provide calm to your room, try to find a space for shoes, and use the doors to add hangers and use them to leave clothes and accessories.

Give it your personal touch

Don't cut yourself, give it that touch of rock, indie, pop, cinephile, whatever makes you feel identified with your personality. The residence room is your private space and you will spend a lot of time there.

Know in advance the rules of your student residence before launching to decorate without control and always ask your partner if your room is shared.
