Vintage Armchairs, Accent Chairs, and Sofas: Proper Character for Real Homes There’s something about vintage pieces that grabs me. My first memory of proper modern living room furniture is my grandad’s wingback chair. It was worn, patched, and retrto arm chair squeaky, but it told a story. In the days of smoky pubs and jazz clubs, an armchair wasn’t just a seat. Chairs lived longer than flats. It’s in the sag of the springs. I found a retro accent chair in a Dalston car boot. The legs were wobbling, but the weight told me it was the real deal.

That chair still sits in my flat. Every borough in London has its own taste. Belgravia keeps it polished, retro sofas with velvet armchairs. Hackney keeps it raw, with funky retro chairs. London wouldn’t be London without the variety. The catalogue stuff has no soul. Accent chairs from another era last decades. Every creak is a memory. Truth be told, I’ll pick a vintage sofa over new every time. Your seat should outlast the years. If you’re scrolling catalogue sites, take a look at what’s already lived.

Pick up a retro armchair, and let it grow with you.
