Student living in East London is messy but fun. The walls were bare, but we built it piece by piece. No student can afford Mayfair prices, so we hunted retro. Another dragged a chair from Camden. It felt like Shoreditch, but that’s why it worked. Old accent chairs carry memory, and it fits our lifestyle. I’ve crashed into a leather sofa after a night out, and every time it felt right. Shoreditch is perfect for this life, and shops in the area thrive on it.
We found ourselves in Smithers showroom, couch armchair and the vintage armchairs carried scars I loved. We couldn’t afford much, but it’s become the throne of the house. Ask around and you’ll hear it. it’s where life happens. Armchairs don’t mind if you fall asleep in them. Flat-pack won’t last a term, but old sofas age into character. Every scratch adds more story. By the end of the year, the stress disappears, but that funky accent chair is legend.
So if you’re moving to London, leave the glossy showrooms behind. Choose a funky accent chair, and make it part of your story.
