Student living in East London is messy but fun. The windows rattled in the wind, but we gave it soul with furniture. No student can afford Mayfair prices, so we begged, borrowed and carried. We carried a wingback through Dalston. Everything mismatched, but that’s what made it home. Old accent chairs carry memory, and it doesn’t matter if it’s scratched. I’ve hosted ten people on one sagging retro sofa, and the sofa was another character in the story. Shoreditch is perfect for this life, fabric and leather couches dealers live for comfort accent chairs it.

One afternoon I stumbled into Smithers, and everything felt alive, not plastic. money was tight, but that chair still sits in the flat. We’ve all begged friends for lifts. it’s what makes memories. Furniture with scars feels built for students. Flat-pack won’t last a term, but vintage carries weight. Every scratch adds more story. When you’re moving out, you don’t remember the kettle, sofa funky but the vintage pieces carry the whole story. So if you’re moving to London, skip the flat-pack rubbish.

Take home something with scars, and watch it age with you.
