A familiar story: the remaining furniture and accessories from parents, grandparents and thoroughly sorry, and it is not known how to use. We have found solutions - what items should you definitely leave, and in what cases they will benefit the interior.
In which style solutions from the USSR are exactly appropriate?
The Soviet period took almost 70 years - during this time several eras and trends changed. Ampir was popular in the Stalinist era in the architecture, and in the interiors - massive furniture made of natural species of wood. She came to replace minimalism: since the 50s, the furniture in the rooms took its place the furniture of the most simple design and a small size - such to fit into small apartments. And for this period, multifunctionality and bright colors were characteristic.
In the 70s, carpets began to hang on the walls, as well as decorate their reproductions and posters of those times.
Depending on the furniture of what era went to you, choose, in what style it can be used. Here are our tips.
1. Try to enter a Scandinavian style.
Scandy - superpopulation today. We write about it all the time. Perhaps it was with the arrival in the Russian design of the popularity of Scandinavian interiors resumed fashion for Soviet retro. The fact is that the original Scandinavian style implies the value of history, some soulfulness of the interiors, respect for the history of the house and apartment - therefore, in typical Scandy, apartments often you often have a shabby parquet, ancient stucco on the walls, and dressers remaining from grandmothers.
In the Scandinavian style you can enter and massive furniture of Stalin's times - for example, a buffet or a secret. The minimalistic items of the 50th and the following eras will look equally beautiful.
2. Complete the modern classics
Massive carved furniture of Stalin's times may well complement the interior in modern classics. But minimalistic armchairs can also be in this style.
3. Create a stylish MID-Century Modern
Minimalistic dressers on thin legs, the same chairs and chairs - this is what you can safely take the apartment in aesthetics MID-CENTURY. And if you have Soviet posters and posters - hang on the walls too.

A model that has acquired incredible popularity in today's interiors. It is used in a variety of styles, looking for Avito and Yula, rewind with their own hands, change upholstery. There are even modern analogues that produce furniture showrooms, responding to high demand consumers. If you inherited such a chair - consider yourself lucky and do not think to throw away.

The player on the legs successfully sprinkles in the living room or will be an addition to the modern bedroom. Of course, you can hardly find a work technique today - but you can try to repair the craftsmen. And even if it does not work, use the radio instead of a bedside table or table.
4. Written table
More recently, we got rid of lacquered desks with drawers and castles, which have long forgotten keys. Today they can be used again, and even combine with the same vintage chair.
5. Buffet
Or rack. What to say, the Soviet "walls" from the living rooms will not return to the interior for a long time, but you can use their individual parts. For example, buffets or racks for books.
6. Mini TV
Today it is difficult to imagine that once the only opportunity to watch concerts and television shows - there was such a mini-TV. And today it can be turned ... into the photo frame.
