Back to School

Starting university life, whether in a student residence or your very first flat, is easier when the essentials are sorted from day one. Some needs never change: a study corner that actually works, a bed you look forward to at the end of a long day, clever ways to keep your belongings in order, and small comforts that help you refuel on the busier days.

Have a browse through the collection, take your time to get inspired, and choose the pieces that will see you through this new chapter, delivered wherever you are settling in across Malta and Gozo.

A student room has to work harder than most, serving as bedroom, study and living space all at once. Getting the basics right from the start makes everything that follows simpler, from where you sleep to where you keep your things.

Think about how you move through the room day to day, and let that guide your choices. A little planning now means fewer headaches later, and a space that feels genuinely yours rather than just a place to pass through.

Clothes, bedding and everyday bits and pieces all need a proper home, and a room without enough storage quickly starts to feel cluttered. A clothes rail such as MULIG, a chest of drawers like STORKLINTA, or a compact wardrobe such as KLEPPSTAD each offer a straightforward way to keep things in order.

Smaller helpers make a real difference too. SKUBB boxes and the six-compartment SKUBB organiser bring structure to drawers and wardrobes alike, while a PÄRKLA laundry bag keeps washing contained rather than scattered across the floor. Together, these pieces turn a chaotic corner into a calm one.

A desk in a student room rarely gets an easy life. It is where essays are written, meals are sometimes eaten, and everything from chargers to coffee cups tends to gather. Choosing the right desk and chair from the start makes those long study sessions considerably more comfortable.

The aim is a setup that adapts to whatever the day throws at it, from focused study to a quick catch-up with flatmates. Get this right, and the desk becomes the quiet backbone of the room.

A good study space starts with furniture that earns its place. The IKEA PS 2026 side table brings a compact, practical surface in a striking dark red, ideal for a lamp, books or a laptop stand within easy reach.

Pair it with a chair built for long stretches at the desk. The KRYLBO swivel chair, in a warm Tonerud beige, offers proper support for the hours spent reading and writing. Together, these pieces create a corner that makes studying, if not effortless, at least considerably more comfortable.
