I wanted to write about Student style: Cheap cheerful uni decor ideas as I know how difficult it can be to pull together a stylish dorm room on a budget! It was over ten years ago now that I turned up on my first day at uni (University of Kent), and I still remember how nervous, terrified and excited I was. I had no idea what to expect and so I packed everything that I owned which wasn’t the best idea! I hope you like the Student style: Cheap cheerful uni decor ideas mood boards that I put together below – each one is under £100 too! Leave a comment and let me know which one is your favourite or if you have a request for a particular theme or style of uni room.

My top tip for styling your university bedroom is to pick a colour or theme and stick to it with a few key items. You won’t have much space, or storage for that matter and so by keeping things simple – it’ll look less cluttered and will be easier to keep tidy.
