When I moved to Shoreditch I had nothing but a mattress. The walls were bare, but we filled it with life. No student can afford Mayfair prices, so we hunted retro. One mate found a sofa in Hackney. It looked like chaos, but that’s what made it ours. Vintage sofas feel alive, accent sofa and students get that instinctively. I’ve balanced takeaway boxes on a mismatched chair, and the chairs became mates. East London is built on mix and mess, wiki.densitydesign.org and shops in the area thrive on it.

My flatmate dragged me into Smithers, and everything felt alive, not plastic. We couldn’t afford much, but it’s the pride of the living room. We’ve all shoved sofas through windows. It’s part of student life. Furniture with scars feels built for students. Modern stuff? Forget it, but retro lasts. every creak is another laugh. When you’re moving out, the broken toaster doesn’t matter, but the mismatched set still makes you laugh.

So if you’re moving to London, don’t waste time on the soulless new. Make space for a classic seat, and see how it shapes your memories.
