Sharing a house isn’t ideal, I’ll admit, but it has its upsides – when else could any of us afford to live in a victorian townhouse in a conservation area in zone 2 of london? Never, that’s when – because sharing the load with five other people makes for a substantial wedge. Once you’re a grown up, you’ll have to live in a two-up-two-down in melancholy-on-sea and commute for 6 hours to work, and you can forget about deliveroo-ing your favourite aubergine and tallegio pizza.
So cover up that stain on the sofa (wine, mercifully) with a jazzy cushion, and mask the big crack on the wall with a great new print. You’ll never notice the patchy paintwork on the walls if you steer clear of bright bulbs – go for mood lighting with lamps and candles instead. And if in doubt, just buy a shit load of palms…
