Spooky Student Accommodation Decor Ideas.

Looking to spice up your bedroom or kitchen for the season?

Decorating your student accommodation for Halloween is a fun way to embrace the spooky season without spending too much. With simple DIY ideas and budget-friendly finds, you can easily transform your space into a festive, haunted hangout. Let’s explore some easy ways to get your room Halloween-ready!

Where can I shop?

The city centre provides many places to get tons of decorations, crafts and treats:

• Poundland
• Flying Tiger
• The Works
• B and M
• One Beyond

All of these stores are extremely local to the university and can be sound by Primark, the lower precinct, and West Orchards.

(and don't forget, these stores will have sales after the 31st of October, so be sure to snag some cheap Halloween treats too!)

Looking to skip the shopping spree and make your own decorations? Here are some simple DIYs you can easily create at home:

• Mason Jar Lanterns: Paint old mason jars with spooky designs, like pumpkins or skulls, and place candles or LED lights inside.
• Paper Bats: Cut bat shapes from black paper and tape them to walls, ceilings, or windows.
• Spider Webs: Stretch cotton wool or yarn across walls and doorways to create eerie spider webs. Add plastic spiders for extra creepiness.
• Pumpkin Balloons: Blow up orange balloons and draw jack-o’-lantern faces on them with a black marker. Scatter them around your room.
• Floating Ghosts: Inflate balloons, drape them with white fabric or cheesecloth, and use a marker to draw ghost faces.
• Creepy Candle Holders: Spray paint old wine bottles black and insert tall white candles. Let the wax drip down the sides for an eerie, haunted look.

Decorating your accommodation for Halloween is a fun and creative way to get into the festive spirit. These DIY decorations can transform your space without spending much time or money, and if you're happy to spend, there's tons of stores to purchase decorations and crafts from. Get creative and enjoy transforming your space for the season!
