Why Funny Prints Are a Student Essential

Let’s be honest – most student rooms start off looking a bit… prison cell chic. Plain walls. Wobbly furniture. One tiny pinboard.

A funny print changes that instantly. Something like the retro-style Ay Up Me Duck print, or “Put a Brew On” over a cheeky teapot sketch – it’s instant personality!

Plus, they’re mood-boosters. There’s something about walking in after a brutal lecture and seeing “Cwtch” on the wall that makes everything feel a bit better.

They’re also conversation starters. Someone spots your “Nothing is Black or White” (Nelson Mandela quote) print and suddenly you’re deep in a chat about music, football, or politics instead of awkwardly talking about the weather.

The Inside Joke Factor

Some of the funniest prints in student rooms aren’t actually that funny to strangers – and that’s the point.

Maybe it’s “Ta Ra A Bit” hanging above your door, which to most people is just a quirky goodbye, but to you and your housemates is the dramatic send-off shouted every time someone leaves for lectures. Or “Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow”, which started life as a bit of motivational Fleetwood Mac wisdom… and is now the phrase you all yell when someone suggests ordering takeaway instead of revising.

Visitors might tilt their head, squint at your wall, and ask, “Why have you got that in massive letters?” You just smile and say, “You had to be there.” That’s the magic – it’s not for everyone.

Print Styles That Always Get a Laugh

1. Music Lyric Prints

Not just for super-fans – they make great mood pieces. Your “Running Up That Hill” print might be an ode to Kate Bush, but it also works as an ironic nod to the hike up to campus every morning.

2. Regional Sayings

Perfect for making a room feel like home. “Alright Mush?” is a Midlands greeting in print form, while “Bostin” brings a bit of Black Country warmth to even the coldest halls.

3. Everyday Truths

Stuff we all relate to. The Put a Brew On print in a student kitchen is basically the house motto.

4. Bold Statements

Prints like “Chop Fucking Chop” look stylish and make people stop for a second — whether they take it as an order or a life mantra.

5. Football Banter

From chants to match-day slogans, a print like “We’ll Live and Die in These Towns” instantly tells people where your loyalties lie.

Everyday Legends in Student Décor

Every student house develops a weird décor story that will never make sense to outsiders.

It could be “I Wanna Live Like Common People” in the living room – originally a Pulp nod, now your unofficial anthem to not being able to afford the fancy wine bar anymore now you’ve only got a student loan. Or “This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things”, which is now quoted with deep sarcasm every time someone breaks another appliance when they come back drunk. Or maybe “It’s Looking Like a Beautiful Day”, which seemed romantic when you bought it, but now mostly serves as the caption for those rare sunny days when someone finally opens the curtains.

By the end of the year, these prints aren’t just decoration – they’re part of the house’s personality. They’re visual souvenirs of all the chaotic, daft, and occasionally questionable decisions that made your student days what they were.

Making Funny Still Look Stylish

Funny prints don’t have to mean messy walls.

A simple, greyscale “Banana for Scale” can look slick above a desk. A cleanly framed “You Can Have Your Cake and Eat it Too” can actually feel like kitchen art, not just a joke.

If you prefer bold and colourful, go for big block letters and bright backgrounds – “Wake Me Up When It’s All Over” works brilliantly in this style.

Pro tip: keep your safest funny prints in shared spaces, and your more “you had to be there” humour for your own room.

Cheap, Cheerful & Easy to Move

Here’s why they’re perfect for students:

Most start at £6
They’re light enough for Blu Tack (no wall damage) – see more here
They pack flat – so moving them between halls, houses, or cities is easy.

And unlike a cactus, they don’t die if you forget about them for a couple of months.
