Take your uni room from prison cell to cosy chic with Urban Outfitters.
Uni rooms don’t tend to be glamorous. Far from it.
If you’re lucky, you might get a room that’s a blank canvas (aka. ‘The landlord special’ of painting over everything) but at least you can add your own stamp to it.
Adding your own touch to your uni room is one of the first things you should do; making your space a home away from home can help reduce feelings of homesickness and can actually boost your mood!
For the coolest and quirkiest home decor, look no further than Urban Outfitters home where you can use our Urban Outfitters student discount to deck out your room with all the fun essentials you need.

Our faves from Urban Outfitters home
If you’re struggling to find cute home decor or unsure of where to even start, we’ve done some of the research for you. We popped into Urban Outfitters to check out their home section, here are some of our favourite pieces.
We’ve also got to shout out the chef’s kiss selection of bath mats Urban Outfitters home have available; you’ve probably seen these all over your socials.
Urban Outfitters bedding
Bedding is a really quick and easy way to add some personality to your uni room. And what’s currently trending? Stripes, pink, and ruffles galore.
Available in King or Double, this red stripe ruffle duvet set from Urban Outfitters is so gorgeous! The frills, the stripes, the colours.
This will for sure revamp your dreary uni room.
If pink and frills aren't your thing. Moody, floral, cosy.
Subtle florals in a muted purple colour.
Available in King, Double, Single.
We (and everyone on socials) are loving this cinched duvet set. It screams chic and will make any bed look 5*.
Quite simply obsessed.
Available in King and Double.
Urban Outfitters cushions
Cushions are perfect for adding character to your bed and your room.
A motto to live by, that's for sure.
There's nothing like a bit of tongue-in-cheek humour and it would definitely be an ice breaker during Freshers.
Mustard Live Laugh F*ck Off Cushion
We can't get enough of pink ruffles, can you tell?
Add a little touch of luxury to your room with this velvet cushion. Get several of the same cushion or mix-and-match.
Checkerboard is such a classic pattern, and combining it with black and white makes it even more timeless.
This cushion will follow you from pre-uni to post-grad. Cute, fluffy, and basically a neutral.
Urban Outfitters rugs
Rugs are perfect for hiding ugly uni-hall floors and are a damage-free way of adding some colour to your room.
Multi-Check 5x7ft / 150x210cm Rug
Another checkered piece, this time giving more colour.
This huge rug will make your room super cool and cosy, with a touch of retro vibes thanks to the soft colours.
A rug runner is great for narrow uni rooms or if you want to highlight the entrance into your room — it'll be like your very own version of a red carpet.
The wiggle-style edging gives it a little playfulness and it's boosting our dopamine just by looking at the image!
If you're short on floor space, this little rug will be the most adorable addition to your uni room.
The tattoo-style illustrations are cool and eclectic, and will definitely make a statement.
Urban Outfitters prints
Prints are a quintessential part of any uni bedroom, so adorn your walls with these hot prints from UO.
Guinness has become a super trendy and popular pint recently, so if you're a fan, celebrate the stout-y goodness by hanging this print on your wall.
Oh, Go On Then 30x40cm Wall Art Print
Today is gonna be the day that you put this print on your wonderwall.
Too much? Thought so.
Only cool people like Oasis; show off that you're one of them.
Relive your recent teenaged angst with this print.
It's minimal, so will be a subtle addition to your walls, but will definitely make a statement.
In Loving Memory 30x40 Wall Art Print

Here are what students are adding straight into their baskets from Urban Outfitters home.
What does this tell us? It tells us students are giving their uni rooms a personal and eclectic touch with mostly duvet sets (practical and stylish, fairs!). But students are also seeking extra dopamine hits within their routines by adding kitsch mugs and plates into the mix.
