How I Furnished My Student Flat In Shoreditch With Retro Style
Life in a student flat starts rough but gets colourful. The flat looked more squat than home, but we filled it with life. Flat-pack breaks too quick, so we searched markets. We carried a wingback through Dalston. It looked like chaos, but that’s what made it real. Vintage sofas feel alive, and we don’t need polish, comfort accent chairs we need real. I’ve fallen asleep in a battered armchair with a book, leather chair retro and every time it felt right. Every warehouse flat tells the same story, and Smithers down in Shoreditch knows it.
One afternoon I stumbled into Smithers, and the sofas looked like they belonged in films. we left with just one piece, but it’s the pride of the living room. Every student flat tells the same story. it’s what makes memories. custom furniture designs with scars feels built for students. Flat-pack won’t last a term, but real pieces stay alive. every dent becomes part of the flat. Looking back after twelve months, the cracked window gets forgotten, but the vintage pieces carry the whole story.
Next time you walk past a market, leave the glossy showrooms behind. Grab a retro sofa, and see how it shapes your memories.
