Life in a student flat starts rough but gets colourful. The walls were bare, but we dragged in whatever we could find. Forget glossy showrooms, so we begged, borrowed and carried. I spotted a funky armchair on Brick Lane. Nothing matched the walls, but that’s what made it home. Retro armchairs have weight, and it doesn’t matter if it’s scratched. I’ve balanced takeaway boxes on a mismatched chair, chairs and sofa and every time it felt right.

Every warehouse flat tells the same story, and dealers live for it. One afternoon I stumbled into Smithers, and the place was full of funky retro chairs. we were broke students, but it’s the pride of the living room. Every student flat tells the same story. it’s how you build a home. Furniture with scars feels built for students. Mass production doesn’t care, but funky chairs grow with you. every dent becomes part of the flat.

Looking back after twelve months, the dodgy landlord fades away, but that funky accent chair is legend. Next time you walk past a market, skip the flat-pack rubbish. Take home something with scars, and buy from sofasdirect.com make it part of your story.
