Eco-Friendly Accom DIYs: Creative & Sustainable Room Ideas You Can Make into a Friends night!
Our Rooms:
When you’re living the student life, you might think that sustainability and creativity don’t always go hand in hand. But trust me, it’s easier than you think to add some unique and eco-friendly DIYs to your room or flat. We have tons of corkboard space to fill and shelves begging to be styled. But the best part? Turning it into a fun group project with food, drinks, and plenty of laughs. I've got tons of ideas—big and small—that you can totally make your own, sustainability doesn't have to be boring.
1. DIY Painted Glass Jars – From Trash to Treasure
Recycling glass jars is not only good for the planet, but it also gives you a super stylish way to organise your things! Collect old jam jars, mason jars, or any glass containers you might have lying around (don’t forget to remove the labels). Grab some paint or glue and glitter and get creative!
These jars will not only help you organise, but they’ll also brighten up your desk, room or flat with a pop of colour!
2. Magazine Collage Posters – Upcycle Your Old Magazines
Got a stack of old magazines whether they are music or food? Time to give them new life! A collage poster can be an artistic statement in your room, and the best part is that it’s totally customisable. You can make anything from funky abstract art to meaningful words. They can also be used as a fun competition by following a specific theme with friends!
3. Wine Cork Crafts
If you're a fan of wine (or just love collecting corks), this one’s for you! Wine corks are super versatile and can be turned into tons of different projects. Whether you’re making simple decorations or functional items, wine cork crafts are a great way to be sustainable and creative.
