How Can I Move into Student Accommodation Without the Stress?
Moving into your student room may seem simple, but there’s often more to take with you than you expect. Clothes, books, kitchen essentials, bedding and personal belongings all need to arrive safely and undamaged.
What Do You Need for a Smooth Move?
- Sturdy moving boxes in different sizes
- Bubble wrap and stretch film for fragile items
- Labels to keep everything organised
With a sturdy moving box, you can transport all your belongings safely and in an organised way. At PRACTO Home, you’ll find moving boxes in different sizes, so you can always choose the right box for your move.

We also offer bubble wrap and stretch film to help you move your valuable belongings safely and with peace of mind.
One more handy tip: label your boxes by room or category, for example desk, kitchen, bathroom, clothing or books. This will save you from chaos when unpacking and help you turn your move into an organised start to the new academic year.
How Can I Make the Most of Every Square Metre in My Room?
Once everything has been moved in, the real work begins: setting up your student room in a practical way. Just like your study space at home, student accommodation is often limited in size, which makes smart storage essential.

- bedding

Create Extra Storage Space with the Right Shelving
A tidy room starts with a smart layout. Do you have limited cupboard space or want to keep your belongings within easy reach? Then a shelving unit is the perfect solution.
Our wooden shelving units and metal shelving units provide space for books, study materials and, of course, those essential study snacks. They’re an easy way to create extra storage without making your room feel cluttered.
Looking for something even sturdier? Our Heavy Duty shelving units are the perfect choice. Thanks to their high load capacity, they’re ideal for heavier items such as fitness weights, musical instruments, supplies or cleaning products.
No More Shoes Lying Around
Keep your room tidy by giving your shoes and accessories a designated place. A shoe rack is a simple way to keep your student room or bedroom organised. Your shoes, sneakers and slippers each get their own place, keeping the floor clear and making your room look instantly tidier.
Some shoe racks can also double as a handy bench, making it easy and comfortable to put on or take off your shoes. Everything stays organised and within easy reach.
Keep Your Outfits Within Easy Reach
Your clothes deserve a designated place too. Don’t have a built-in wardrobe or simply need more storage space? A clothing rack offers a practical solution.
Our matt black clothing racks are not only practical, but also give your room a modern and stylish look. Thanks to their double hanging rail, they offer plenty of space for your everyday outfits, jackets or that extra hoodie you always want to have within reach.
Where Will You Keep All Your Waste During the School Year?
A tidy room isn’t just about smart storage. Having the right waste solution is just as important. That’s why PRACTO Home offers pedal bins in different sizes to suit every space.
A compact pedal bin is ideal for the toilet, bathroom or next to your desk
For the kitchen, larger waste bins provide enough capacity for your everyday kitchen waste.
Which Student Room Essentials Can Make a Difference?
When you’re living in student accommodation, every square metre counts. That’s why smart, space-saving solutions are essential.
Do you have a window or balcony? Make the most of those last late-summer or early-autumn rays and let your damp towel dry outside with a compact balcony or radiator drying rack.
Alternatively, a door drying rack is the perfect solution. Simply hang it over a door and keep your floor space free for more important things – like your desk, sports bag or that extra chair for visitors.
How Can I Store My Bike Safely and Efficiently?
For many students, the bike is the ideal way to get around. Whether you’re cycling to class, heading to your hobbies or going out for the evening, your bike is part of everyday life. That’s why practical and secure bike storage is a must-have. At PRACTO Home, you’ll find a suitable solution for every situation:
- Short on space? Choose a wall-mounted bike holder or a bike hook. This allows you to hang your bike up easily while keeping the floor clear. Ideal for garages, storage rooms or bike sheds where every square metre counts.
- Prefer a sturdy wall-mounted solution? With a wall-mounted bike rack, you can store your bike securely and neatly against the wall. This helps prevent damage to your bike while keeping the space tidy.
- Need to store several bikes? A bike rack is the perfect solution for families, student houses or shared bike storage areas. Each bike gets its own designated space, so there’s no more tangled mess of bikes at the entrance or in the storage area.
This way, your bike stays safely stored, you save valuable space and you can head off every morning without any hassle. Because a smooth start to your day begins with a bike that’s ready to go.
Whether you’re moving into student accommodation for the first time or setting up your room after the holidays, good organisation makes all the difference.
With PRACTO Home’s practical solutions, you can keep your study space tidy, functional and ready for a new academic year.
All that’s left to do? Enjoy an unforgettable year as a student!
