You've only seen the room for a short 30 seconds before and you have to magically imagine what it will look like with all your stuff in it. Then you have to go shopping for other interior pieces, still with absolutely no idea what the room looks like. All you can do is hope that when you arrive on the day, everything will fall into place, fit in the space that you imagined it would, and that everything will match and seem like home.
I suppose this process is common for first year university students. I didn't think I would be doing the same thing the next year, decking my room out with things that will make the room seem cosy enough for the upcoming year. Maybe because I thought I would see more of the room I would be living in rather than a quick glance through the doorframe in a rushed viewing with the estate agents. I gather that's just part of student living- taking a bit of a gamble with choosing a home and praying it won't be damp and a bit of a hell-hole.
We were quite lucky with our house. 4 girls living in a big 4 bedroom house. It's fairly modern, in good condition, and haven't had to deal with any vermin or breakages (just yet). I did know one thing before I moved in, and that was that I didn't have much storage. So I added that to my endless university shopping list and got it all underway. Here is the final result and I'm pretty chuffed with it (if I say so myself). My new home, ladies and gentlemen…
