Student living in East London is messy but fun. The kitchen had a dodgy kettle, but we filled it with life. New furniture is soulless, so we begged, borrowed and carried. One mate found a sofa in Hackney. It felt like Shoreditch, but that’s what made it real. Old accent quirky chairs for living room carry memory, and students get that instinctively. I’ve balanced takeaway boxes on a mismatched chair, and the furniture was part of the night. East London is built on mix and mess, and students rely on it.
We wandered past Smithers one Saturday, and the place was full of funky retro chairs. we were broke students, but everyone fights to sit in it. We’ve all shoved sofas through windows. It’s part of student life. Retro sofas don’t care if you spill. Brand-new looks boring, but old sofas age into character. every creak is another laugh. When you’re moving out, the stress disappears, but the mismatched set still makes you laugh. If you find yourself in a Shoreditch flat, don’t waste time on the soulless new.
Choose a funky accent chair, and make it part of your story.
