How I Furnished My Student Flat In Shoreditch With Retro Style

Life in a student flat starts rough but gets colourful. The carpet smelled like beer, but we filled it with life. No student can afford Mayfair prices, so we searched markets. We carried a wingback through Dalston. Everything mismatched, but that’s what made it real. Vintage sofas feel alive, and we don’t need polish, we need real. I’ve balanced takeaway boxes on a mismatched chair, and those seats carried us. Markets spill chairs onto the streets, and Smithers down in Shoreditch knows it.

We found ourselves in Smithers showroom, cocktail chair and the accent chairs were bold and weird. we were broke students, but it’s become the throne of the house. Ask around and you’ll hear it. it’s where life happens. Vintage pieces survive it. Catalogue gloss falls apart fast, but funky chairs grow with you. every stain means another night. After exams and chaos, the broken toaster doesn’t matter, but that funky chairs for living room accent chair is legend.

When you start student life, leave the glossy showrooms behind. Take home something with scars, and unusual sofa see how it shapes your memories.
