The style of the eighties is not simple at all. In those days, it very quickly became obsolete, because such an interior was made in bright colors with large figures, which does not allow the eye to relax and causes an excited state. However, these days, the mischievous style of the 80s, where each item is filled with its own functional load, has become very popular. This style, with its originality, seems to be trying to show us that we shouldn’t take things too seriously, because our whole life is a game.
To create an interior in the style of the 80s, you need to know several nuances. In those years, preference was given to brilliant colors, shades of green, yellow, orange, and turquoise. At the peak of fashion there were large patterns, for example, diamonds, stripes or polka dots of various sizes. Bright textured wallpapers were in fashion, especially plain ones with different shapes. For example, one wall can be decorated with circles, another with pyramids, a third with rectangles, and the fourth can be simply plain, only with a window located in it. You can lay a laminate on the floor, which must be covered with a carpet, for example, a dark chocolate shade. This will make the room more comfortable. It is important to lay the carpet in such a way that guests can put their feet on it when gathering at the table.
In the eighties, every house had a sideboard, and every sideboard of that time was similar to each other. Sideboards stored dishes, some of them had a bar-like section in which various small items could be stored. In those days, it was especially chic to have a wall cabinet - a set of cabinets that fit tightly together and performed different tasks. The satisfied owners of such a powerful piece of furniture thought that they had not lived their lives in vain. The fashionability of the wall in the eighties can only be compared with the explosion in the popularity of jeans in the seventies.
If you want to recreate the interior in the style of the eighties, then you will only need to purchase a wall to order. Perhaps it will be an improved copy of the wall that was in your distant childhood - with facades made of laminated MDF and having glass inserts and shiny handles. On the glass shelves of such a sideboard you can put collectible porcelain dishes, if you have one, in addition, you can display modern dishes of fancy shapes and colors. In this case, a kind of eclectic action will arise, and the old form will acquire a new, already modern meaning. In sideboards, dark-colored, square-shaped dishes or dishes painted with bright, interesting patterns would be appropriate.
One more mandatory element The furnishings of the eighties are a dressing table. It can be placed in the hallway or bedroom. Be sure to install a tall floor lamp, which will be decorated with fringe and will create a comfortable seating area in the evening, when there is no more daylight.
Upholstered furniture in the style of the eighties should be quite bulky and must have comfortable deep seats, wide armrests and legs that will be either high or almost invisible.
Sofas and armchairs of those distant years were made of iron and wood, and the upholstery was made of tapestry or leatherette.
The main decorative elements in the eighties were mirror glass. The decoration of mirrors and interior doors co-glasses and very different designs with inlays. The drawings looked so touching and tender, like beautiful icy frost in winter. Unlike boring glass tinted with film, which is very common in the interiors of our time, glass with a sandblasted pattern will help create a special atmosphere of durability and authenticity in the interior.
In the eighties, the walls were decorated with enlarged photographs, which were framed with mats. Artistic portraits of family members look especially advantageous and impressive - black and white, autumn-winter landscapes, industrial-themed photos. Frames of various sizes can be hung either on one wall or on the walls of the entire room.
If you decide to recreate the interior in the style of the eighties at home, then you should not try to reproduce it in all the smallest details. Do not adhere to this rule and your interior will not look banal and limited! It is possible, and even necessary, to create a familiar form, however, filled with completely new content. Today we are unlimited in the possibilities of choosing interior items, and this is what allows us to recreate the bright and energetic style of the eighties, we can present this style in a completely new way, trust our imagination and present it the way we wanted to see it in our youth and childhood! To this style you need to add air, breadth, more space, and it will become truly amazing, chic and modern. After all, if we talk about what the style of the eighties is, then it is undoubtedly urban chic!

The 80s were a time of experimentation, a new vision of life and playing with the surrounding space and form. Therefore, the interior of the 80s was distinguished by brightness, bombast, clear straight lines and expressive decorativeness.
The 80s style is extremely complex. It was very quickly and completely abandoned, because the interior, designed in bright colors and large geometric shapes, does not allow the eye to rest and causes constant overstimulation. But today it has suddenly become fashionable to introduce sparks of the “frivolous” mischievous style of the 80s into modern rationalistic interior design, where each item carries a certain functional load. It seems to remind us that our whole life is one big game, and it is full of things that should not be taken too seriously.
To create an interior “a la the 80s” you need to remember that:
- In the 80s, they preferred brilliant colors, cheerful shades of green, bright orange, yellow, and turquoise.
- Geometric patterns and avant-garde colorful large designs - stripes, diamonds or different-sized polka dots - were very popular.
- Wallpaper with a textured surface and bright color combinations was very fashionable. Particularly chic were wallpapers of the same basic color, but with different figures. For example, there may be circles on one wall, pyramids on the second, rectangles on the third, and there may be no pattern on the fourth wall at all, for example, if it is a wall with a window.
As for the flooring, a laminate would be appropriate here, on which there must be a carpet, for example, dark chocolate color. This will create an atmosphere in the room home comfort. It is very important to position the carpet so that guests, sitting at the table in the center of the room, place their feet on it. In the 80s, you could see a sideboard in almost every apartment, and they were all the same. This miracle served for storing dishes. Some models were equipped with something like a bar in which various small items were stored. A wall cabinet, which was a set of several adjacent cabinets with different purposes, was considered a special luxury in the 80s. The happy owners of such a piece of furniture believed that they had not lived their lives in vain. The popularity of the wall in the 80s can be compared with the popularity of jeans in the 70s.
Today, when creating an interior in the style of the 80s, you will have to make a custom wall. Let it be a modernized copy of the wall of your childhood - with facades made of laminated MDF, with shiny handles and glass inserts. But on the glass shelves of the sideboard you can display both collectible porcelain, if you have any, and modern dishes of unusual shapes and colors.
In the second case, an additional eclectic effect arises - the familiar and stable form is filled with new modern content. Square dishes in dark colors look especially beautiful in mirrored sideboards, as well as sets of colored glassware or dishes with intricate paintings and bright patterns.
A mandatory piece of furniture in the style of the 80s should be a dressing table. It can be placed in the bedroom or in the hallway. A tall floor lamp with fringe, which was located near the chair and served to create a kind of relaxation area when the overhead lights were turned off, was also considered mandatory.
Upholstered furniture a la the 80s should be quite bulky with deep and comfortable seats, wide armrests, high or almost invisible legs. The design of sofas and armchairs in the 80s included materials such as wood and iron, and the upholstery was made of harsh tapestry or leather-like materials.
The main decorative elements of the 80s interior are mirrors and glass. Decorating mirrors and glass interior doors with various patterns was considered especially chic. Sandblasting designs look especially gentle and defenseless, like short-lived and beautiful icy frost. Unlike matting with film, which is very widespread in modern interiors, sandblasted glass and sandblasted mirrors can create a special atmosphere of authenticity and durability in the interior.
In the 80s, the walls were decorated with enlarged photographs framed in wide mats. Artistic black and white portraits of family members, autumn and winter landscapes, and photographs of industrial themes look especially good. Rectangular frames different sizes You can place them on one wall or decorate the walls of the entire room with them.
When creating an 80s-style interior at home, you don’t need to strive to recreate it in the smallest detail. A familiar form with new content - stick to just this reading, and the created interior will be devoid of banality and stylistic restrictions. Today we are not constrained in possibilities, we are not limited in our choice of interior items, as in the 80s, and this gives us a great opportunity to teach this energetic and vibrant style in a new way, the way we always wanted in childhood and adolescence. You need to add latitude, air and space to it, then it can become truly modern and chic. After all, what is 80s style? - This is urban chic!
Post-industrial society. The term “post-industrial society” was born in the USA at the turn of the 50s and 60s. it was used in his lectures by the American sociologist Daniel Bell. Since the late 60s, the theory of post-industrial society began to develop, the distinctive features of which are the mass distribution of creative, intellectual work, a qualitatively increased volume and importance scientific knowledge and information, the development of means of communication, the predominance in the structure of the economy of the service sector, science, education, and culture. Post-industrial society is beginning to be viewed as a qualitatively new stage in the development of not only the West, but also all of humanity. The authors of the theory of post-industrial society note that in the coming century, for economic and social life, for methods of knowledge production, as well as for character labor activity people, the development of a new social structure based on telecommunications will be of decisive importance.
The formation of post-industrial society is associated with the unfolding revolution in the organization and processing of information and knowledge, in which the computer plays a central role. The computer is a symbol and at the same time a material carrier of the technological revolution. It is the computer that radically transforms society in the second half of the 20th century. Thus, the key role in the new society is given to information and electronic means that provide technical base for its use and distribution. In this regard, the term “information society” has become widespread, duplicating the concept of “post-industrial society”, and used to designate a civilization whose development and existence is based on a special substance called “information”, which has the property of interacting with both the spiritual and and with the material world of man and, thereby, determining both the sociocultural life of man and his material existence.
From modernity ("modern movement") to postmodernity. Pop culture, critical of the purism of the “modern movement,” and various radical design trends of the 60s, widely supported by the media, became increasingly widespread. At the same time, in Germany the federal “Good Form” award continued to be awarded to modernist works, thereby continuing to support the aesthetic values of industrial society. Thanks to so many aesthetic trends in art and design, the consumer’s taste has expanded, a versatility of perception has been formed, a pluralism of aesthetic views has been formed: stylistic trends have been added to the previously existing only direction of “good design”. In society of the late 70s - 80s. a complex sociological structure was formed, which was almost impossible to clearly divide into middle, lower and upper classes. Taste and style in different segments of the population were also multifaceted.
This pluralism of aesthetic views and opinions became a social phenomenon of the 70s, which ultimately led to the emergence of a new artistic style, in opposition to the “modern movement,” called “postmodern.” Postmodernism destroyed the postulate “form follows function” and ceased to categorically divide design into “bad” and “good”, into “good form” and “kitsch”, into “high culture” and “ordinary”.
The beginning of postmodernity. Postmodernism has its roots in pop culture and radical design movements. The very concept of “postmodern” in architectural theory began to be used in the early 70s. In 1966, Robert Venturi’s book “Complexity and Contradictions in Architecture” was published in the United States, where he formulated the theses of anti-functionalism, and it began to be called the “bible of postmodernism.” However, in a broader sense, this concept began to be used after the publication of Charles Jenks's book "The Language of Postmodern Architecture" (1980).
In artistic formation, postmodernism turned in contrast to the monochrome, rational forms and dogmas of the “modern movement”, to decorativeness and colorfulness, kitsch and chic, individuality and figurative semantics of elements, and often irony, to quoting historical styles. Postmodern architects and artists used quotes not only from past styles - classicism, art deco, constructivism, but also from surrealism, kitsch, and computer graphics. Jenks explains the “retro” trends and the use of historical quotations by the deep disappointment in the architecture of the “modern movement” that occurred in the 70s. in the professional and broad public consciousness, the emerging trend of “nostalgia for the past.” The “Golden Age” was increasingly seen in the past as the antipode of modernity.
Postmodern as an international style. In the 70-80s. ideas about postmodernity were far from unambiguous. There was a debate about whether postmodernism is a new independent style direction in design, or whether it is a return to the “modern movement” and its development at a new stage. In Italy, for example, representatives of postmodernism were the Milanese groups "Alchemy" (mid-70s) and "Memphis" (early 80s). Their works trace historical forms, popular cultural lines, and eclectic motifs. At the same time, Memphis preferred the name “New International Style” to the concept of “postmodern”. Despite the existing discrepancies in the term “postmodern,” an international style clearly emerged in architecture and design.
Postmodernism created a new understanding of design as consumer-oriented design. Without postmodernism at the end of the 20th century, the subsequent search for vibrant and meaningful design with new meaning and environmental morality would not have been possible.
The monumentality of “architecture as art” was replaced by businesslike neutrality. Load-bearing steel structures placed outside the outer fence form a semblance of scaffolding, in which communications and networks of engineering equipment pass. The metaphorical nature of the attributes of technology here leads to the demystification of the social function: the arts center is presented as a kind of complex device that ensures everyday communication and information consumption. Behind this, one can see a reflection of the sardonic metaphors of pop art and the absurd machine. The charge of negation transforms architecture into anti-architecture.
"High-tech" in design. Along with high-tech architecture, the design of the living environment has been gaining ground since the late 70s. His main method here is the use of industrial equipment. A residential interior is often viewed as an ensemble of things made for other purposes. Experiments in this direction have economic implications: on the one hand, in the face of growing financial difficulties, people of average income are looking for ways to build homes using the “do-it-yourself” method, sometimes turning to unexpected means; on the other hand, this need is artificially stimulated by advertising by industrial firms seeking to find new markets for their products.
"High-tech" promotes the introduction into housing of furniture made from standard metal elements produced for racks in factory warehouses or locker rooms in "change houses". Bus, airplane and even dental chairs began to be introduced into home furnishings, and laboratory glass was used as household utensils. The latest industrial materials and prefabricated elements were introduced into high-tech object design. In the shaping of furniture and other design objects or used technical details from the military or scientific fields of electronic technical equipment. Classic examples of “high-tech” in product design are the Nomos office furniture system by Norman Foster (1987) and the container cabinet by Mateo Thun (1985).

We call “Soviet furniture” the furnishings of grandmothers’ apartments: cabinets with legs, armchairs with wooden armrests, sideboards, trellises, floor lamps, three-arm chandeliers. The name is inaccurate: most of this furniture is not Soviet in origin. It was made in the Eastern Bloc countries: East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yugoslavia, Romania. There was little domestic furniture in Soviet stores.
Spread cabinet legs, wooden armrests, long cabinets, three-legged coffee tables - this is the style of the 60s. In the 70s and 80s they made different furniture: bulky, legless, flimsy, and smelling disgusting. Soviet furniture from the 60s is worth loving. Furniture from the 70s and 80s, in my opinion, is nothing to love.
The style of the Soviet 60s is the same style that in English is called mid-century modern, mid-century modernism. The same chairs, floor lamps, the same walnut veneer can be seen in the first seasons of the Mad Men series, where American interiors of the second half of the 50s were reproduced with great accuracy. In the West, this style flourished in the 50s, and in the USSR it spread later, during the Khrushchev Thaw.
50s style has been all the rage for the past few years. Now this fashion is passing, and I can no longer say: “buy Soviet furniture and you will be in trend.” You won't. But there are other reasons to pay attention to it.
This is not Ikea
The Russian furniture market is structured in such a way that the buyer has few choices. If he is rich, he buys furniture from premium Italian brands. If he is poor, he buys trash at a furniture center on the outskirts. If he is neither rich nor poor, there is only one way - to Ikea. I get angry when I remember how much good and inexpensive furniture there is abroad. They don't take her here. Or they carry it, but sell it at the price of Italian premium brands.
So it turns out that no matter what apartment you go into, there is Ikea everywhere. I would like to add variety to the landscape. Grandma's sideboard is one of the few available methods.
It's high quality
As I already said, “Soviet” furniture mainly comes from Eastern Europe. For example, from the GDR - the country of the Bauhaus, from the Czech Republic - a country with rich and old traditions of furniture production. This furniture was also sold in Western Europe, and now at Western flea markets you can find things from the same manufacturers and models as in your grandmother’s apartment. It is no worse than mid-century Western mass-produced furniture. And why would she be worse? They did it in Europe too.
This is a good design
In the world of postmodernism, where we are unlucky to live, it is believed that each object contains several meanings: one communicates directly, hints at another, and is silent about the third. Things are no longer things, but clumps of contradictory information. They seem to be talking to us: “Buy me, I’m prestigious! You can afford me, but your neighbor can’t!” or “I’m a designer! A celebrity designer made me! Limited Edition!
Old things are silent. Designers designed them, caring only that they were strong, comfortable, and that they had good proportions. They don't stroke your pride, they don't play with your phobias. They simply exist.
She doesn't clutter
space
Furniture of the 60s was made for standard apartments with two-meter ceilings and narrow doors. Therefore it is compact and low. Even tables and chair seats at that time began to be made a couple of centimeters lower, so that there was more free space above them. For the same reason, chairs from the 60s have lattice backs, and you can stick your hand under the armrest of the chair. The furniture was made in such a way as to create minimal obstacles to the view: looking over it and through it, a person clearly sees the boundaries of the room. This is also helped by the high legs on which all the objects of that era stand: the floor is visible underneath them.
Under it you can
sweep
Behind the bases of cabinets and chests of drawers, which have no legs, have not been vacuumed for decades, and there hides an amazing but unpleasant world with rich flora and fauna. The floor under cabinets with legs is easy to keep clean.
It's wooden
Of course, not all. Artificial materials were also used in the 60s, but much less frequently than now. In addition, they say that almost all the poisons have evaporated from 50-year-old chipboard. And you can find objects where there is no chipboard at all, made entirely of plywood and boards, with a rich texture of walnut veneer, under a good old varnish (the varnish ages beautifully and becomes more transparent). Can you imagine how much a modern solid wood cabinet costs?
She's cheap
Most of our fellow citizens are obsessed with the idea of novelty. For them, living among old things means disrespecting themselves. Having barely saved up for a new sofa from the 8 March factory, they rush to get rid of the furniture of their ancestors, giving it away for pickup or selling it for an amount much less than the cost of transportation. It happens that they take it to the trash heap.
True, now the attitude towards modernist furniture is changing. I think that in five years, my grandmother’s chair with wooden armrests in Moscow will only be found in a specialized store. But now, while the vintage furniture market has not developed, we can still furnish an apartment with good examples of modernist design for 200–500 rubles, purchased through private advertisements.

Rough, hard wallpaper on the walls, creaking parquet flooring and simple furniture sets are those interior details that most people try to throw out of the house forever. But there are people who are interested in home improvement during this historical period. They even get inspiration for creating modern furnishings by looking at photographs of apartments from back then.
Some people like this design
Soviet interior is not very popular
Most people only dream of getting rid of things that are already many years old.
Russian style. Interior and life in the first decades of the USSR
Along with such popular interior styles as baroque, modern, and country, you can put the Russian style, which corresponds to the era of the USSR. Designers often refer to Soviet interior style with the pretentious word “kitsch,” which literally means “a carbon-stamped object of low-quality production.” The beginning of the formation of such a furnishing of premises began in the 20s of the twentieth century and has not yet ended for one simple reason: people who were born and lived most of their lives in a union cannot accept changes and furnish their home (refrain from alterations), imitating culture of the times of Brezhnev and Khrushchev.
In the first years after the change of power from imperial to Soviet people there was no time to re-glue the wallpaper and rearrange the furniture. Urbanization began to occur en masse, and housing shortages became acute. But the authorities, not having the funds to build new houses, decided differently - to turn the former rich houses of the bourgeoisie into dormitories, which to this day are referred to as “communal apartments.” Their main feature was the presence of a common bathroom, kitchen and corridor. In each of the living rooms there were sometimes 5-7 people.
This design can be modernized without any problems.
Some people who lived during the USSR never decided to somehow change their housing
Military actions on the territory of the former USSR left a mark not only in the memory of people, but also in their everyday life. Lack of money and hunger forced people to give up excesses; the interior of apartments of the post-war period was more than modest.
Cheap furniture was mainly used in such apartments.
Some simply did not have enough money to furnish the apartment
The design gradually changed
The style of the 50-60s in the interior design of Soviet apartments is strikingly different from the decor of previous decades: the population came to its senses after the war destruction and its consequences. Modern designers classify this period as “multifaceted retro,” which is strikingly different from Soviet minimalism. The following elements and solutions are typical for the housing furnishings of this period.
- A large amount of light - massive, bulky and intimidatingly dark curtains have been replaced by light, translucent curtains. Artificial lighting has gone beyond the scope of “just a lamp under the ceiling”; classic cascading chandeliers began to be complemented by wall sconces, floor lamps, and table lamps.
- The brightness of the colors - rich green soft corners, lemon yellow curtains and other original decor in unusual shades turned Soviet housing into a mini design studio.
- Multifunctional furniture (sofa-couch, chair-bed, folding table) complemented the interiors of that time due to the shortage of living space.
The only thing that did not express the Soviet interior of the 50-60s against the background of the modern one was the banal wallpaper with stripes or flowers. The furniture upholstery, apart from the bright color, did not express anything against the general background. Textiles helped diversify and decorate the interior. Monochromatic fabrics and fabrics with ornaments were fashionable at that time. Even today, in the apartments of people whose youth passed in the 60s of the last century, you can find bedspreads with the following ornaments: plant motifs, geometric patterns, simple decorations of the canvas in the form of a chessboard, Christmas trees, squares.
In those days, design was boring and monochromatic
Some people's apartments still haven't been updated
It may seem to the younger generation that in the USSR, regardless of the decade (40s, 50s, 70s), everything in houses was the same. But people who lived in Soviet times remember well the smallest details of the interior. In the 70s of the last century, there was a breakthrough in architecture - “Brezhnevka” houses began to be built in cities, which had at least 9 floors, equipped with comfortable new items - a garbage chute and an elevator. The authors of the idea themselves called the apartments in such buildings an improved version of “Khrushchev”.
Apartments built in the 70s have from 1 to 5 rooms, low ceilings and a cramped kitchen (7-9 sq.m.). You can partially get acquainted with the interior of the Brezhnevkas when watching the film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears”: whitewashed ceilings, wallpaper with a geometric pattern or light brown stripes on the walls, birch parquet on the floor. The layout of the living room is simple - against one wall there is a “wall” made of chipboard, opposite it there is a sofa and two armchairs, next to it there is a coffee table or a polished table, which was folded out on holidays. The bedroom also had a sofa, a dressing table and a bulky wardrobe.
In the 70s they began to build houses
The living room is simple - there is a “wall” made of chipboard against one wall, and a sofa opposite it

In the interiors of the 70s there must be carpets hanging on the walls, there must be fish in the sideboard (the same blue ones that some people still have), and a three-tiered chandelier with “crystal” pendants (made of banal plastic) sparkles under the ceiling. . The walls in apartments of the 70s, and even in the 80s, are decorated with calendars and posters depicting Soviet artists.
In those days everything was monotonous and boring
Calendars and posters were usually hung on the walls
Many items produced in Soviet period, can only be found in abandoned attics or in rare collections. But it’s not only everyday objects that cause surprise or laughter on the faces of young people living in the 21st century. Many things that once seemed fashionable and beautiful to people are now called the popular word “shocking.” There are 5 items that cause the greatest surprise on the faces of the younger generation.
The first thing that catches your eye when looking at photographs from the USSR period is the carpets on the walls, which rightfully lead in the “Soviet shocking” rating. Canvases depicting deer and still lifes were used for decorative purposes and... to save wallpaper. Also, the reason for the original decoration was cold walls (the role of a heat insulator) and noisy neighbors (the role of a sound insulator).
Soviet design causes laughter or surprise among young people
Soviet design can be modernized
There are a lot of weird things about this design.
The second place of honor in the ranking of shocking items of the Soviet era was a sewing machine with a foot drive, which served as an “assistant” in needlework and a place to store shoes. A tablecloth was usually laid over it, after which the device turned into a work table. The third item that can surprise today's schoolchildren is a TV or radio on legs (like a stool).
The fourth position in the rating deservedly goes to openwork napkins, which covered not only the table and chairs, but also the previously mentioned TV and radio. Since the 30s of the last century, openwork, often homemade decoration, has been used as decor for pillows, tops of cabinets and sideboards. The sideboard, or as it is also called, “buffet,” closes the top five. This piece of furniture served as a storage place for services produced by the Leningrad Porcelain Factory (or other holiday tableware), family photographs, and sometimes money. Such things were put in the upper part of the sideboard with glass inserts in the doors - so that everyone could see the “wealth” of the family, while in the lower part of the sideboard, towels, clothes and other valuables were hidden behind wooden doors (for example, a forbidden Bible or jars of cucumbers).
The walls were usually decorated with paintings, calendars or posters
The wallpaper was usually striped or floral
Carpets on the floor
When you mention the phrase “carpet in the USSR,” it is wall hangings that immediately come to mind, but floor carpets were no less popular during the Soviet period. Why was their popularity at its peak in the 50-80s of the last century? Yes, simply because they were expensive, and if a family could afford to buy a carpet, it means that it is prosperous and lives in abundance.
We often bought such carpets.
- Pile wool, produced in Turkmenistan. The basis of the ornament of Turkmen carpets is “gel” (diamonds, squares, polygons).
- Pile or lint-free products made in Armenia. The main motif of such carpets is a lotus flower with unfolded petals.
- Silky pile carpets made in Azerbaijan. They are distinguished by unique geometric patterns; the most popular types are “Kazakh”, “Shirvan”, “Cuba”.
In addition to products made in Central Asia, carpets made at the Vneshposyltorg factory (jacquard products with half-wool pile), the Obukhov Carpet Factory (double-sheet pile carpets), and the Almaty Carpet Factory (4-color rod rugs, smooth rod runners) were popular in the USSR.
Photos were usually stored in wall cabinets
The main attractions of the family were usually placed in sideboards and cabinets
Typically, Soviet design was boring and monochromatic
Country, Provence, Art Nouveau - these styles are fed up with people who love unusual experiments. Soviet interior in a modern interpretation is pretentious and original. In one of the rooms or throughout the house you can create an atmosphere from the USSR period of various years. The color combination table will help with this.
Soviet design can be modernized without any problems
Carpets were usually hung on the walls
Conclusion
History, whatever it may be, is the basis of the present. In the USSR, people decorated their homes according to their financial capabilities and the fashion of the time. Today soviet interiors are considered a relic of the past, but it is likely that the fashion for floral wallpaper, bright sofas and colorful carpets on the walls will return.
