About Loomz
Loomz exists because of one student.
And one very patient set of parents.
We’re a small, family-run business based in Surrey, UK, and the idea for Loomz started when our son Elliot moved out to begin university.
Like most parents, we thought we’d smashed it.
New bedding ✔️
Kitchen bits ✔️
Desk stuff ✔️
“Everything you’ll ever need”? …apparently not.
Year One: The Reality Check
Elliot’s first year was in on-campus accommodation.
Cue the realisation that student living is a very specific lifestyle.
Yes, you need the basics.
But you also need things that make a small, beige, personality-free room feel like somewhere you actually want to live.
Lighting that doesn’t feel like an interrogation.
Storage that works when space doesn’t exist.
Bathroom fixes for places that are… not inspiring.
And all of it has to follow the rules:
No drilling
No nails
No “creative” damage
No deposit-losing behaviour
Years Two & Three: The Upgrade Era
Then came off-campus housing.
Shared kitchens.
Questionable heating.
Even more questionable bathrooms.
By this point, Elliot had become a student accommodation expert:
What’s actually worth buying
What survives multiple house moves
What landlords absolutely hate
What mysteriously disappears in shared houses
How to live life without ironing sessions
Fridge / Freezer real-estate battles
What’s essential vs “I’ll regret not having this”
And yes… there were conversations with landlords.
More than one.
The Big Realisation
Student stuff is temporary.
You move a lot.
You share spaces.
You live lightly.
Anything that:
Leaves permanent marks
Is too awkward to move
Breaks easily
Gets “left behind”
…can cost you money, time, and your deposit.
So everything needs to be:
Easy to move
Easy to install
Easy to remove
Useful every single week
That’s Where Loomz Comes In
Loomz is us taking everything we learned (sometimes the hard way) and turning it into one place.
We focus on:
Student essentials that actually get used
Smart storage for small spaces
No-drill, no-damage solutions
Lighting, kitchen, bedding & bathroom upgrades
Stuff that moves with you year to year
Not just to cover the basics, but to make student life easier, calmer, and nicer to live in.
Built From Real Student Experience
Elliot’s finished university now.
But Loomz is all about capturing what worked, what didn’t, and what we wish we’d known sooner.
No fluff.
No gimmicks.
No “this looks nice but is useless”.
Just practical, well-chosen things that make student life better and a sprinkling of nice-to-haves to make the space more like your own.
The Loomz Promise
If it breaks rules, ruins walls, wastes space, or only looks good on Instagram
…it probably didn’t make the cut.
Loomz is here to help you move in once, settle faster, and live better, without upsetting landlords, housemates, or your future self.
Welcome to Loomz.
We’ve already learnt the lessons so you don’t have to.
Got a better idea? Or something else you want to let us know, tell us.
Loomz exists because of real student experience, and we know there are always better ideas out there. If you’re a student and you’ve found a smart workaround, a product that should exist (but doesn’t), or a solution that would make student life easier, we genuinely want to hear it.
If it helps students live better, save space, avoid damage, or keep their deposit intact, we’re interested.
If your idea’s good, it might just end up on Loomz, with a nod to you, and win you a discount code.

All the best,
Loomz.
