Funky Accent Chairs, Vintage Sofas and Life in East London > 자유게시판

First year in London was chaos. The windows rattled in the wind, but we built it piece by piece. IKEA lasts a term at best, so we begged, borrowed and carried. Someone even nabbed a table from outside a pub. Nothing matched the walls, but that’s what made it home. Retro armchairs have weight, and students get that instinctively. I’ve balanced takeaway boxes on a mismatched chair, and the furniture was part of the night.

East London is built on mix and mess, and Smithers down in Shoreditch knows it. My flatmate dragged me into Smithers, and the sofas looked like they belonged in films. we left with just one piece, but it’s the pride of the living room. Every student flat tells the same story. it’s what makes memories. Accent chairs don’t flinch when four people pile on. Flat-pack won’t last a term, traditional armchairs but funky unusual chairs grow with you. every wobble tells the truth.

By the end of the year, you don’t remember the kettle, but the armchair stays in your mind. Next time you walk past a market, retro style sofa bed don’t waste time on the soulless new. Choose a funky accent chair, and let it carry your student nights.
