Having to move from my dorm room into an apartment during the beginning of my third year in college, one thing that always filled me with excitement was picking furniture, decor and appliances that screamed effortlessly chic, cozy and aesthetic. I wanted my room to scream ‘me’ whenever I walked in after a tiring day of biochemistry whilst nurturing the feeling of a safe and comfy haven to rest my head. Thus, the rooms and decor corner of the internet became my best friend, and I found some really beautiful, aesthetic and yet functional items that I instantly fell in love with. My month spent searching through to find the best furniture, appliances and accessories inspired me to create this list where I share with you all some of the best things I found, some I purchased and some on my wish list. I hope you enjoy going through them as much as I loved making this list.
