How I Furnished My Student Flat in Shoreditch With Retro Style > 자유게시판

First year in London was chaos. The flat looked more squat than home, but we filled it with life. IKEA lasts a term at best, art deco style settees so we grabbed second-hand. Another dragged a chair from Camden. It felt like Shoreditch, but that’s what made it real. Retro armchairs have weight, and we don’t need polish, we need real. I’ve balanced takeaway boxes on a mismatched chair, and every time it felt right. East London is built on mix and mess, and designers take inspiration from it.

We found ourselves in Smithers showroom, and the place was full of funky retro chairs. We couldn’t afford much, but that chair still sits in the flat. We’ve all begged friends for lifts. It’s part of student life. Furniture with scars feels built for students. Flat-pack won’t last a term, but retro lasts. every creak is another laugh. After exams and chaos, the cracked window gets forgotten, but you remember the sofa.

When you start student life, skip the flat-pack rubbish. Take home something with scars, and let it shout Shoreditch every time you sit.
