The Seriously Cute Flat Accessories You Didn’t Know You Needed
Isn’t it just all of our absolute dreams to have a place that we can call our own? Just picture it, your own space which you can paint and decorate as you wish without any winging parents, partners or flatmates who accuse you of buying one too many succulents for the downstairs toilet. But who am I kidding, in this day and age it’s so difficult for young people to be able to afford a place by themselves, with the majority of first time buyers being over the age of 30. So, until then, we’ll make do with flat sharing or crashing at our parents’ place for a few days, or weeks, or months…You get the point! But, despite where you live, can you always add a few things to your flat to make yourself feel at home and your space feel, well, you. Whether it’s adding a string of fairy lights above your bed or buying a super pretty ceramic vase for the living room, there are so many seriously cute flat accessories that can help you personalise your living space and brighten up even the dingiest of student houses. Here are a few of our absolute favourites!
Urban Outfitters Rose Tinted Mirror.
This super cute rose-tinted hanging mirror from Urban Outfitters is a must have for any bedroom. With its unique ‘shard of glass’ shape and beautiful gold hardware, this mirror is an eye-catching staple among itself! What’s more, if you are in a rented property and can’t go around hammering nails into the wall, all you need to do is pick up some sticky wall hooks from Wilko and hang it up with those to prevent any wall damage and unnecessary damage fees. This is definitely one of the best cute flat accessories.
