There’s no place like home. We know that. Mum’s Sunday lunch, cuppas on the couch, cuddles with your childhood teddy after a long day of cosplaying as a grown-up. Moving to uni will make you miss the comforts of home, and although there’s no way to replicate that warm, fuzzy feeling of being back there, we’re here to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible on your new adventure. I mean, starting uni is so fun (and such an achievement, by the way) so don’t let missing home dampen your experience – make your new place feel as homely as possible with the checklist below.

1. Bed Linen

A long day of lectures, there’s nothing better than diving into fresh bed sheets.

2. Cookware

Because it’s not compulsory to live off Pot Noodles all year.

3. A Candle

The key to making any place feel cosy.

4. A Laundry Basket

We don’t do “laundry chairs” over here – pop your clothes in a basket ready for laundry day.

5. Glassware

Water? Juice? Wine? Iced coffee? We’ll let you decide…

6. A Shower Caddie

A snug spot for your relaxation remedies.

7. Bedding

Keep warm through ’til Christmas with a high-tog goose & down duvet.

8. Tableware

For all your Flat 5 dinner parties.

9. Towels

Bundle up post-shower in the softest premium cotton.

10. A Blanket

A temporary comfort blankie (until you’re reunited with the original).

11. Mugs

Because there’s nothing a cup of tea can’t solve.

12. A Lamp

A necessity for pre-deadline all-nighters.

13. Wall Art

Flowers to brighten all your dreary winter mornings.

14. Dominoes

The ultimate ice-breaker.

15. A Desk Chair

For your concentration station (or, you know, if you need an extra chair at the moving in party).
