Vintage and apartment with history are now relevant than ever.
We share the list of Soviet items that can be harmoniously enter into a modern interior and sign an antiques by an expert.
1. Samovar
Samovar looks great and in the kitchen and in the living room
Samovar is one of the most distinctive elements of Russian life, which brings some solemnity and authenticity to the interior. They can be decorated with a table, niche, a kitchen mounted cabinet, put near the fireplace as an original vase. Enjoyable is the fact that any samovar can be used as a decor, even if it is not able to fulfill his direct responsibilities. If you are lucky to get a work instance, boldly apply it for appointment - brew tea.
2. Printing machine
Printing machine can be bright or neutral
Even if you are not a writer and do not really like to write stories at all, you still do not hurry to give up such a wonderful object as a printed machine. Highlight a place on the shelf or a quoted table for it. It is possible if the machine will have a bright case - in this case it will become an excellent accent. However, the device of the standard view will also perfectly fit into the interior, especially if the apartment is decorated in a Scandinavian style where retro items are appreciated, or in Loft style.
3. Cast iron Iron
Cast iron Iron can be re-organized, and can be used in the original
Iron is an excellent decor element. In photographs in interior blogs, you can see how it looks great on the book rack, on the shelf next to the dishes and even on the desktop. And if it suddenly turns off the light, it can be safely used for direct purpose: warm on the stove and ironing clothes. Of course, the process will not be easy, but in this situation it is not necessary to choose.
4. Bidone
Bidon looks great in the form of a vase
Previously, enameled and aluminum bids were one of the obligatory components of Russian life, especially if it were about the village. Armed with a couple of such bidones, our moms and grandmothers went after milk. We can safely transform them into a vase for flowers. If the dishes are preserved in good condition, it is not necessary to restore it. If the appearance leaves much to be desired, the bidon can be polished and decorate with artistic painting so that he fits perfectly into the interior.
5. Sewing machine
From the cast iron base and the wooden countertop is the original table
Incredibly popular in Soviet times "Singer", and today does not give up its position. Many still retain the loyalty to this typewriter and sew on a variety of clothing. However, if needlework is not your lobe, you can go easier and use exceptionally renovated by the substole. Cast-iron base and wooden countertop perfectly complement the interior of the bedroom, office, kitchen. In the picture, the base of the sewing machine is painted in black and covered with varnish. Top from wood, also painted into black, with a folding lid. Inside there are small branches for all sorts of little things. It turned out an interesting piece of furniture, which can be placed, for example, in the hallway.
6. Chaul
Viennese chairs fits perfectly into the modern interior
Eclectics are still ambiguous. Basically this is because not everyone can harmoniously combine several elements of different styles in the same interior. However, in the case of Soviet chairs on the curved legs resembling Viennese, everything is much easier. They perfectly fit both in a concise interior, becoming an emphasis and classic. Moreover, one of the trends of the upcoming 2021 is furniture collected from different collections. Retro chairs are ideal for incarnation in this trend.
7. Dishes
From the dishes you can make a wall decor or use by appointment
Previously, Soviet dishes were a matter of cult. Her was ready to wait, redeem, stand in line. Often, plates and cups were made from porcelain, which made them especially valuable. If in a servant who got into inheritance, there are vintage sets and crystals, find them apply. And we are not talking about visual pleasure, as it happens in most cases. Use your favorite dishes to serving a table or interior decoration. For example, from ceramic plates you can make an original wall composition.
8. Posters and posters
Newspaper decor, like retro posters, are a highlight of the situation
The owners of a neutral, concise interior should be thought about such an interesting and colorful addition to their apartment, such as Soviet posters, cutting out of old newspapers and magazines, reproduction of paintings of the USSR, demonstrating life of workers. Such details become a highlight and the main focus of the situation.
9. Chair
Soviet chairs look very easily and do not clutter space
The geometrical forms characteristic of the middle of the twentieth century are gradually returned. That is why retro-chairs get a chance to the second, brighter and interesting life. They have thin armrests, a slight base that the design of the chairs is visually facilitated. Thanks to this, the furniture does not look massively or bulky, and also takes at least a place that is especially relevant for Khrushchev and small apartments in general.
10. Suitcase
Suitcases are used as coffee tables and bedside tables
Suitcases are one of the most practical subjects on our list. The most obvious function to which they can be added is storage. Just fold into the suitcases seasonal clothes that you do not yet need, and remove into the closet or under the bed. Another use of these items is more original - they can decorate the interior. If you put a suitcase on the legs, it turns out an amazing beauty of a coffee or coffee table with a steady countertop. It can also be used as a basket for storing children's toys, instead of a cabinet in a hallway or a bedside table (if you put a few suitcases on each other).
11. Telephone
From the phone you can make an interesting lamp
From the moment the mobile phones broke into our life, the need for stationary devices has dropped by itself. But in some apartments, retro devices are still preserved, as a memory of past times. If a landline telephone in your house also fell on the mezzanine's house, get it off, shake dust and use as a wall or desktop decor. Note vintage in the interior did not hurt anyone.
