Your Back to Varsity Homeware Guide
share
Picture this: you're moving into a dorm, an apartment, or a shared house...
Here’s our guide to mastering varsity living with practical yet elegant and minimalist homeware essentials.
As the new academic year begins, its a great time to think of how to set up your living space to enhance your overall productivity and well-being.
Classic dining pieces to start building your collection.
Start with the basics: those daily-use items that make your space live-able and comfortable.
Curating a timeless collection of dining pieces, glassware, and cutlery sets the tone for a polished look, no matter how casual the meal. Opt for versatile sets that can transition seamlessly from solo dinners to hosting friends.
Shop Essential Dinnerware
For your bathroom, invest in soft top-quality towels and sleek storage solutions to keep essentials organised and within easy reach.
Shop bathroom accessory and towel sets for a cohesive aesthetic.
Add faux pot plants to add a little bit of that lived in feel.
Take measurements especially if you are working with a small space to make sure your new purchases fit.
Pump-action soap dispensers
Contain shampoo, soap and hand creams in an aesthetically pleasing way with your choice of soap dispenser, pair it with matching items in a set like a soap dish, brush holder and tumbler.
The Easy Wash Towel
Enhance your bathroom aesthetic with this soft to touch, textured rib towel that wicks away moisture and dries quickly too. Made in India from all-natural 100% pure cotton.
Bathroom storage
Contain your clutter: keep your bathroom tidy and stylish with sleek caddies and canisters! Perfect for organizing essentials like toiletries and cotton pads.
Minimalist décor for small spaces
In compact varsity accommodations, minimalist décor is your best friend. Keep the palette neutral (think whites, greys, and soft beiges) to create an open and airy feel.
Incorporate mirrors to give the illusion of more space, and add pops of personality with a few carefully chosen accessories like framed prints or flowers for some greenery.
Finn Coffee Table
Rounded edges and a slim metal frame give the Finn range a sleek, modern feel. Considered details like bevelled edging on the oak veneer shelves elevate your living room with effortless style.
Table Lamp Curved Glass
This curved glass table lamp brings warmth and interest to the room with its swirled glass base, gold-tone metal, and natural textured lampshade.
Oval Standing Mirror
Adjust the angle of this standing mirror to suit your needs, be it for a fit check or as a statement piece to add a new dimension to your bedroom or livingroom style.
A good night’s sleep is non-negotiable for academic success.
Upgrade your bedding with soft, breathable fabrics such as cotton or linen blends. Achieve a cohesive bedroom look with all neutral bed linen in muted tones and then layer with seasonally appropriate throws and accent pillows in complementary or bold fashion tones, patterns and textures.
Don’t underestimate the importance of an all-season duvet and a quality mattress protector to keep your bed cosy and fresh year-round.

When space is limited, built-in storage is a game-changer.
Look for ottomans that double as storage chests, beds with underframe drawers, and multi-functional desks or shelving. These clever solutions help maximise every inch of your room without compromising on your style.
Look for pieces that double up in function too: a side table that is part of a nesting set, a modular couch that can be separated into sections to suit your space, or a shelving unit that can be used as a room divider.
