Moving In, Making It Yours

Starting uni and settling into your new ila apartment? Here’s everything you’ll need to create a space that feels calm, functional and genuinely like home — thoughtfully chosen, and built around how you live.

A Quiet Reset

Your ILA apartment is more than a place to stay — it’s the backdrop to the next chapter of your life. The way you set it up can shape how you feel, focus, and unwind. This guide isn’t about overloading your space with things — it’s about the right pieces, with purpose.

Think: comfort you can feel, simplicity that works, and little details that make daily life smoother.



Moving out for the first time: what to know

1. Less, but better
Start with the essentials and build slowly. Choose multi-use pieces and soft layers that create comfort without clutter.

2. Function is your friend
Every item should earn its place — whether that’s by making your morning routine smoother or adding warmth after a long day.

3. Considered doesn’t mean cold
Style your space in a way that feels natural. A textured throw, soft lighting, familiar scents — these are the quiet things that make you feel at home.
