How I Furnished My Student Flat In Shoreditch With Retro Style

Student living in East London is messy but fun. The kitchen had a dodgy kettle, but we dragged in whatever we could find. Flat-pack breaks too quick, so we hunted retro. Someone even nabbed a table from outside a pub. Everything mismatched, but that’s what made it real. old fashioned armchair accent chairs carry memory, and we don’t need polish, we need real. I’ve hosted ten people on one sagging retro sofa, and those seats carried us.

Every warehouse flat tells the same story, and students rely on it. We wandered past Smithers one Saturday, and the accent chairs were bold and weird. We couldn’t afford much, but it’s survived three house parties and a flood. We’ve all begged friends for lifts. it’s half the fun. Retro sofas don’t care if you spill. Catalogue gloss falls apart fast, but real pieces stay alive. every dent becomes part of the flat. By the end of the year, the dodgy landlord fades away, but that funky accent chair is legend.

If you find yourself in a Shoreditch flat, forget the catalogue shine. Choose a funky accent chair, and see how it shapes your memories.
