Ponds in the garden

Let's see if Soviet furniture can be harmoniously enter into a stylish individual bedroom or living room, how to redo or update the furniture and how to change the Soviet interior.

Can Soviet furniture be in harmonious to enter into a modern interior?

Yes, and moreover. In the classics and retro stylistics such items will definitely be by the way. Plus, individual old headsets are used in neat minimalist interiors free from domestic excesses.

The main advantage of such furniture is helps to maintain emotions related to the native home. At the same time, designers also often appreciate it - for quality and some special details. About this - a little more.

The first Soviet interiors began to appear in the 1920s and 30th year, and it was with a very simple setting. Bulky, rudely decorated "under the Stalin Ampire", but noticeably reliable cabinets and tables - this is how minimalism looked like.

Kits from the 1930-50s are more reminded about the usual Soviet style, showing, authentic. The whole created then indicated the wealth of houses and was carefully kept. Therefore, the living room could combine the incompatible: a massive wall, demonstratively filled with books and crystal, compact curved chairs, a sofa bed.

But items from that time are already more compact and comfortable, adapted for small apartments. And at the same time, the strength of the real array is also characteristic.

And the best inheritance that left these years:

Viennese (those very, with bent backs) chairs, chairs, tables
- Lightweight cabinet furniture on thin high legs, from the countries of the Eastern bloc, stylish even by the standards of our time.

But not only that!

Rooms of the 1970s and 1980s were already more individual, sometimes furnished under the influence of disco. The nature of those interiors has already created not furniture, but details of design -, plates, bright colors. And entered the use of laconic headsets that opened space for designer ideas - Coffee tables, low chairs.

In typical furniture of this era, parts made of plastic, chipboard - beautiful, cheap and, alas, impractical in comparison with the massive of materials.

Sometimes quite just monotonously, so that she looks beautifully in a new stylish interior.

However, there are others interesting methods Decor of old heads that will be helped if you want fresh extraordinary solutions. Let's give a mini-list of ideas.

1) You can paint furniture through lace or tulle.

2) Use a multilayer golden or bronze coating - a marker of expensive classics.

3) Even more interesting and modern will look at the facades of the stylist paint.

4) Cut the furniture body with self-adhesive film. Suitable, for example, self-keeper with wood or small floral print, under country.

5) Another similar technique is. Its essence: individual fragments of furniture are decorated with a stylized pattern or texture fabric. For this, special decoupage wipes, pieces of wallpaper, notes, embossed leather are used.

For those who love collectible vintage headsets, made talented and with love and skillfully updated, the choice provides designer Maria Volodatskaya.

Decent Soviet furniture should be stored and restored. The main thing is to focus on the latest convenient decisions of the interior design!

Soviet furniture and interior items Most perceive as an outdated trash, which does not have a place in modern stylish interiors. But such an opinion is true only in part. The interior where several vintage details are present may look important and expressive. We offer a fresh selection of delightful interiors, in which there are things from the Soviet past.

1. Cozy Scandinavian style


White color, prevailing in the Scandinavian interior, creates a feeling of cold and neutrality. But wooden dresser brown color Makes the situation with a warmer and homely cozy.

2. Stylish Neoclassica


Piano, which is expensive as a memory, is very optionally throwing out after repair. In the neoclassical interior it looks harmonious, making up a vintage duet with a brown chair.

3. Retro for country house


The muffled color gamut in combination with the texture of natural wood creates an elegant atmosphere. The interior is used both the Soviet chest and modern furniture stylized under retro. Bright decorative pillows give dynamism residential space.

4. Bright Transfiguration


The easiest way to transform the old furniture and a refrigerator is to repaint them in bright colors. Do not forget to carefully prepare the surface so that the paint is smoothly lay. Vintage parts are especially appropriate in the kitchen, where they create a homely comfortable atmosphere.

7. Comfort in green-brown gamme


The combination of green and brown is a win-win choices if the task is to create the most comfortable interior. Modern decor And finishing materials make the situation with Soviet furniture relevant.

8. Extravagant eclectic


At first glance, such an interior is difficult to distinguish from the present Soviet. But, looking after it is easy to notice that designers were hard for the stylization. Accent Walldecorated with an unusual decor standing on the semi pictures, kitchen furniture And the door of unusual colors - these details are attached to the interior of extravagance.

9. New life of old cabinets


Registration of the zone near the TV is not an easy task for professional designers. Due to the presence of a number of modern technology, old furniture looks unexpectedly original.

10. Unusual combination of colors


Red and green - a rare combination for modern interiors. Such a color gamma makes an extraordinary environment. The impression is complemented by textiles with bright prints and furniture upholstery of saturated tones.

11. Textile power


A discreet neoclassical interior comes to life due to the updated coupling of the sofa and decorative pillows with prints. The cover for the chair, chosen in the tone, complements the picture.

12. In the style of boho-chic


Bocho style is an excellent background for any vintage elements, including Soviet furniture. Complex patterns, saturated colors, finishing with the effect of the composition create an extraordinary, but cozy interior.

13. Spray of bright colors

Soviet furniture headsets in the modern interior.

Furniture set for the living room, which was traditionally called "Gorka", successfully fit into the modern interior, where they prevail light colors.

Many of the ideas of stylish housing arrangement will never be superfluous. Continuing the topic -

As Soviet interiors. Maybe you don't know about it - but now a lot of people continues to live in apartments with quite, let's say, in a kind of interiors. Some of these interiors remained since the time of the USSR, and the other part (worse) is already new "works of art", made today in the style of "A la Scoop".

My friends periodically discard me the pictures of such interiors - I always carefully keep them for memory and periodically, pulling courage, looking through. All photos new, taken from Ukrainian housing rental sites - but I will say right away as in Belarus, and in Russia such a tin can be found no less (and in places and more).


02. So let's start. In the modern interior, a la scoop will be attended by the "Classic Attributes of the USSR" - the carpet on the wall either on the floor, capes on the sofa and chairs, the mesh dust curtains and the "section" in the entire wall. By the way, in the photo below it is clear that the section is not left since the time of the USSR, but was acquired relatively recently - for which it was necessary to do, I would not have done.

03. Here is also a fairly modern interior, which, however, copies the "best Soviet traditions" - "Section" along the wall, a terrible carpet on the floor, dusting curtains on the window, wallpaper with a pattern. Why do they do that? BUT?

04. In general, the "Section" is a mandatory attribute of the apartment A la USssr, albeit modern. "Section" is usually monstrously irrational - in a panel house it takes about a quarter of the useful area of \u200b\u200bthe room (already a narrow "Penal") and stacking abides - the Mountains of the dishes, which for years from there is not removed, trinkets, books of the Brezhnev era, stack Soviet pillowcases, cards "Kerch-1981" and magazines "Science and Life" for 1986-89. I'm not kidding - you will be visiting someone in the house with such a "section" - look at the furtively in lockers, find it there that is.

05. Here is also an excellent example of a room with a "section" and stored things there:

06. Or here. See, the section is clearly not Soviet, bought in the 2000s. Why did they buy it? A huge array of furniture makes a room less than a third, does not give normally go around the bed and it costs absolutely empty. "Soviet gloss" adds a terrible five-growing chandelier and the omnipresent of the mesh curtains-dust collectors.

07. Another modern living room in Soviet style. The second prevalence of the Soviet attribute of furniture (after the "wall") is a polished servant, in the photo below their integer two, different caliber. In terms of its uselessness, the servant can move with the "wall" - in it they hold a bunch of useless trash, old books that no one reads decades, some soft toys, empty vials from perfumery and so on.

08. Also from the "Beautiful" series. Why in a servant so many dishes, Karl? What company soldiers did they get feed?

09. Sometimes I come across the options of living rooms, the style of which can be designated as "Soviet minimalism". This means that the owner of the apartment has already got rid of most rubbish, but left in the apartment some required minimum Furniture. Here classic example Such a style - there is no "wall", nor a servant, only a couple of some dresses are left, a wall-mounted bookshelf and a sofa. Please note how visually in the apartment is easier to breathe without a huge dark "wall" to the pubescent and without nasty mesh curtains on the window.

10. Another example of "Soviet minimalism" is only a table for dwarfs, a sofa and a wardrobe.

11. It's time to look at the Sovdeopian bedrooms, this is the typical room of A la USssr - is decorated in an unclear than half of the furniture can be safely thrown out, especially huge armchairs.

12. The biggest trouble is a bedroom in Soviet style - this is what people continue to sleep incomprehensible on what - instead of beds you can see some sofas, chairs and other rubbing. Please note that the Krasolo and the sofa in the photo are no longer Soviet, bought after the USSR "on the old habit." Why instead folding sofa It was impossible to just buy a normal bed with a mattress - for me a mystery.

13. However, the old Soviet sofas and beds are also massively used - such as, for example, on this photo. Here, by the way, other attributes of the Soviet bedroom are collected - a huge wardrobe, a mandatory huge armchair with a motley cape and a mandatory wall carpet in oriental style. With the carpet on this photo there is something strange - he moved away from the wall half the meter and, I'm afraid, it is preparing to capture the world.

14. More bedroom - a unnecessary servant from the living room, stuffed with the same junk. Somewhere under the ceiling hangs the picture, and the clock is nailed above the door.

15. Another trouble bedroom "A la Scoop" is some kind of office and hotel style. Apparently, the owner of such an apartment "the highest pilot" The interior of the bedroom considers the provincial Soviet hotel. Rods, bedside tables, slippers, hardly - the tram moved the detachment of October.

16. That's fine too:

17. And now let's look at the kitchen and bathrooms. Classic kitchen "A la Scoop" looks like something - some kind of old buffet, a wardrobe, plugged into the angle to the window gas stove. Please note that the apartment lives not quite nishchebrudes - new windows are inserted, barathery is also quite modern. Why could not buy new furniture?

18. Here is the same kitchen from another angle. Cut products for cooking are offered, apparently, on the green tabletop of a shaky buffet, and wash the dishes - squeezing into the angle for the wardrobe.

19. also kitchen. From the series "I was blinded from what was."

20. A distinctive feature of Sovdeopian cuisine is inability to handle the refrigerator - it is never a normal place, and it does not depend on the kitchen area. Here is a relatively ratable kitchen, most of the useful area of \u200b\u200bwhich occupies a huge useless countertop, and the refrigerator will be knocked down to the window, lighting up the light.

21. The players are placed at the door - apparently so that everything is stumbled upon it.

22. And it happens that the refrigerator and moves at all to the hallway. Why does it happen? The hosts of many similar apartments grew up in publications, where the refrigerator was either an unattainable luxury, or stood where it fell - most often, in a room of a family or another (so that no one cradle products). Because of this, there is a simple idea that the refrigerator is in the general integral and integral part of the kitchen equipment, there are no such people.

23. But this is what the bath is A la USssr:

24. Toilet. Many still retained a Soviet locker for any rusty trash. Mysteriously and wildly looks like the location of the paper attachment.

25. Here is also a very typical photo:

26. Sometimes the owners of such apartments earn a lot of money and make repairs, but in the end it turns out all the same scoop - the servants become striking and Vitaevate, the curtains-dust collectors acquire a complex shape, the wallpaper becomes more "better."

Do you know that this is the most interesting thing? All these photographs were made not in apartments of some poor grandmothers (which can be understood), and relatively non-resident people - all this rental accommodation, which means that the owners of this property have at least one apartment + source of additional income from rent. And at the same time, they carefully continue to store and multiply this is the style of A la.

Why is this happening?

In almost any family there are objects that are transmitted from grandparents, from generation to generation. Some of them can be real treasures! Antique clock, sculptures, furniture, decor elements can completely transform modern house. The main thing is to try easy and elegantly to enter them into the interior. And this is not so difficult to do.

By the way, the main feature of antiques is age. The thing should be older than 50 years, as well as reflect the trends of your era.

We will analyze several successful techniques of combining antique furniture in the modern interior.

Game on contrast

One of the techniques that will help entertain furniture with history in modern apartment- This is a game in contrast. What these contrasts are sharper and more noticeable, the brighter the vintage things will look like. For example, an old cracked wooden table can be put next to a new sparkling mirror with chrome elements. A chic focus can be an antique chair at the head of the table, and next to the modern table headset.

In the spotlight

Antiques should act as an art object, a noticeable detail surrounded by modern furniture. With this approach, Vintage will become a kind of highlight. Identify the most important place for raritet: it can be a table in the center of the living room or a renovated door (do not change it to the faceless of the MDF!) Support, and also to justify the presence of old things will help small decor: for example, lamps, vases or textiles.

Change concept

Another way to give your interior a special charm - change the concept of vintage things. For example, some designers fully restored furniture items and paint them into bright juicy tones. A classic chair, a chest of drawers or a stand in red, blue or green, completely turn the essence of the interior and make it unique and memorable.

More air

Antique furniture is extremely necessary air and free space around. Do not hammer the room with superfluous objects that can take attention from unique things. Pay attention to the lighting - the premises should penetrate as much natural light as possible, which will emphasize the rare furniture.

Pick style

Finally, we note that Vintage will not fit into all the interiors. Do not try to put an old cabinet in an apartment in the style of Hi-Tech, modern or minimalism. But, oriental, Mediterranean style or eclectics will be happy to take a rare table or pouf in their arms.

Ancient furniture: a choice for true beauty connoisseurs. The appearance in the interior of the house of antique furniture and furniture under the antique occasionally occurs in various ways: someone acquired the liked thing, someone passed inheritance.

But in order to in the interior of the room, the old furniture looked in harmony with the rest of the furniture objects and corresponded to its status, it is necessary to take into account the main rules for placing antique furniture.

Antique furniture in the modern interior

The age of most of the old furniture available in this segment of the market does not exceed one hundred and fifty years. Copies of the 18th century are extremely rare. There is practically no rare old furniture of the 16th century.

True beauty connoisseurs of antiquarian furniture, professional collectors most often acquire antique wood furniture at auctions.

And to add to the specialized store engaged in selling antiques to lovers and inexperienced collectors, to obtain professional advice from the seller and the opportunity to look at the future purchase.




The main criterion when choosing an old furniture is neither age and direction of style.

It is important to remember that in this interior harmonized to all with other furniture items, did not look inappropriate and ridiculous in the interior ensemble.

Already the very presence of old furniture and furniture from the tree under the antiquity allocates it in the overall setting and attracts its unusual and unique accent.

Therefore, the location of the old furniture and wooden furniture under the antique should correspond to the direction of the style of the room.

Indeed, it often happens that the appearance of one object of the old furniture in the house leads to the desire of the owner of the old furniture to acquire several more elements of antiques.

The main thing in this case is to make sure that the confusion does not occur in directions, and is possible a combination of direct and strict chairs with a magnificent Baroque era dresser?


Styles of antique furniture

A professional collector is enough of a single look at the photo of ancient furniture to determine the belonging to the direction, from which materials and wood species made furniture.

You can select the main styles of antiques. Numerous scenery and decorations in combination with a pomp is inherent in baroque furniture. Fashion for such furniture was in fashion in the 17-18th centuries.

Rococo style in something similar to Baroque is characterized by air and ease of lines with asymmetric scenery. The style of classicism, in contrast to the majestic rococo, is inherent in functionality, symmetry, the nobility of straight lines.

For palace furniture XVIIIV. characterized by ampir style combination decor ancient Greece With spears, lions, sphinxes and straight and simple lines. Clear pragmatism, environmental friendliness in combination of plants with ornamental lines determines the furniture of the modern style.

Art Deco style furniture, created no more than a hundred years, and having greater value among professional antiques, is characterized by simplicity of lines, manufacture of precious wood.

In the manufacture of such furniture is characterized by the use of exclusive materials. Such furniture was decorated with liners and rooms in expensive hotels. The old furniture and the manufacture of furniture under the ancient of this direction is in high demand.

The honorable age of antiques implies the special conditions for its content and care. For old furniture, straight sun rays are invalid, finding near heat sources, humidity exceeding sixty percent.

It is necessary to remember the financial component at the possession of the old furniture. After all, the antiques in itself is mainly not a special value. It is easy to purchase on numerous flea markets and auctions.

A significant part of the price determines the degree of renovation of antiques. It is possible to guarantee magnificent look and safety can only be restoration, which defines a significant part of the cost. Possession of antique furniture and furniture under the antiquity will create and beautiful interior, and is a competent investment.

The value of such furniture will only increase annually. And perhaps, through the years, true connoisseurs will give a lot to buy your chair or table. And if unexpectedly became the owner, do not throw out and do not sell. Restoration and select rare furniture up to the best times.
