Vintage Armchairs, Accent Chairs, and Sofas: Proper Character for Real Homes I can’t walk past a retro armchair without stopping for a look. Growing up, there was a sofa in our house that had seen it all. It was worn, patched, and squeaky, but it had heart. In the days of smoky pubs and jazz clubs, a sofa wasn’t just a sofa. You’d go second-hand instead of brand home seating solutions new. It’s in the weight of the wood. I found a retro accent chair in a Dalston car boot.

Most people would have walked on, but the history spoke louder than the flaws. It’s outlasted three flats and two relationships. London’s furniture scene splits by neighbourhood. Belgravia keeps it polished, with buttoned wingbacks. Dalston keeps it cheeky, with bold fabrics. Every corner tells a different story. Modern flat-pack doesn’t hold a candle. Vintage finds get better with years. Every creak is a memory.

Here’s the thing, I’ll pick a vintage sofa over new every time. An armchair should hug you back. If you’re scrolling catalogue sites, go dig through a car boot. Choose a funky accent chair, and see how it shapes your nights.
