How I Furnished My Student Flat in Shoreditch With Retro Style
First year in London was chaos. The kitchen had a dodgy kettle, but we filled it with life. No student can afford Mayfair prices, so we searched markets. Another dragged a chair from Camden. It looked like chaos, but that’s what made it ours. Funky retro seating has character, and it fits our lifestyle. I’ve watched half my flat pass out across two chairs, and the furniture was part of the night. Retro furniture feels natural here, and dealers live for it. We found ourselves in Smithers showroom, and the accent chairs were bold and weird. money was tight, but that chair still sits in the flat. We’ve all begged friends for lifts. it’s where life happens. Furniture with scars feels built for students. Mass production doesn’t care, but funky chairs grow with you. every stain means another night. Looking back after twelve months, the dodgy landlord fades away, but the armchair stays in your mind. When you think furniture, don’t waste time on the soulless new. Choose a funky accent chair, and let it shout Shoreditch every time you sit.
