From Markets to Mansions: couch and accent chairs London’s Love for Vintage Sofas and Armchairs

I’ve always had a soft spot for old furniture. We had an old floral sofa that was patched and comfort accent chairs sagging. It was worn, patched, and squeaky, but it was part of us.


When the East End was full of voices, a sofa wasn’t just a sofa. You’d go second-hand instead of brand new. It’s in the sag of the springs.

I once pulled a Chesterfield out of a warehouse in Hackney. The legs were wobbling, but the history spoke louder than the flaws. It’s outlasted three flats and two relationships.

Every borough in London has its own taste. Hampstead stays calm, with velvet armchairs. Camden loves the clash, with upcycled seats. London wouldn’t be London without the variety.

The catalogue stuff has no soul. Retro pieces grow with you. They remind us life isn’t flawless.

When it comes down to it, I’ll pick a vintage sofa over new every time. Furniture should live with you.

So next time you’re tempted by something new, step into a dusty warehouse. Grab a vintage sofa store, and let it grow with you.
