Why Every Student Flat Deserves A Vintage Armchair

Life in a student flat starts rough but gets colourful. The flat looked more squat than home, but we made it ours.

New furniture is soulless, so we searched markets. I spotted a funky armchair on Brick Lane. Nothing matched the walls, but that’s what gave it soul.

Retro luxyry armchairs have weight, and it fits our lifestyle. I’ve fallen asleep in a battered armchair with a book, and every time it felt right.

Markets spill chairs onto the streets, and Smithers down in Shoreditch knows it. We found ourselves in Smithers showroom, and the vintage armchairs carried scars I loved. we were broke students, but it’s the pride of the living room.

Every student flat tells the same story. it’s how you build a home. Vintage pieces survive it.

Brand-new looks boring, but old sofas age into character. every creak is another laugh.

By the end of the year, the stress disappears, but that funky accent chair is legend.

So if you’re moving to London, forget the catalogue shine. Choose a funky accent chair, and watch it age with you.
