Moving into a student flat ain’t glamorous. The walls were bare, but we built it piece by piece. IKEA lasts a term at best, so we grabbed second-hand. One mate found a sofa in Hackney. The colours clashed, but that’s why it worked. Old accent chairs carry memory, and it doesn’t matter if it’s scratched. I’ve watched half my flat pass out across two chairs, and those seats carried us. Shoreditch is perfect for this life, and shops in the area thrive on it.

We wandered past Smithers one Saturday, and the sofas looked like they belonged in films. we had to haggle, but it’s survived three house parties and a flood. We’ve all dragged furniture through rain. it’s half the fun. Furniture with scars feels built for students. Modern stuff? Forget it, but retro lasts. every dent becomes part of the flat. Once the parties are done, the broken toaster doesn’t matter, but you remember the sofa. When you think comfortable home furniture, ignore the fake polish.

Make space for a classic seat, and make it part of your story.
