How I Furnished My Student Flat In Shoreditch With Retro Style

When I moved to Shoreditch I had nothing but a mattress. The windows rattled in the wind, but we filled it with life. No student can afford Mayfair prices, so we grabbed second-hand. Someone even nabbed a table from outside a pub. It looked like chaos, but that’s why it worked. Retro armchairs have weight, and it fits our lifestyle. I’ve hosted ten people on one sagging retro sofagruppe sofa, and those seats carried us.

Every warehouse flat tells the same story, and Smithers down in Shoreditch knows it. I stopped by Smithers looking for sofa funky nothing, and the accent chairs were bold and weird. money was tight, quirky sofas but that chair still sits in the flat. Every student flat tells the same story. it’s what makes memories. Furniture with scars feels built for students. Brand-new looks boring, but funky chairs grow with you. every creak is another laugh. By the end of the year, the broken toaster doesn’t matter, but the vintage pieces carry the whole story.

If you find yourself in a Shoreditch flat, skip the flat-pack rubbish. Grab a retro sofa, and let it carry your student nights.
