Carpet and crystal: Soviet vintage, which we still love

Knitted napkins

On the shelves, on the TV, on the table, under every vase, little thing and figure. Because a figurine without a napkin underneath can scratch the precious Finnish wall. And also because knitting lace napkins is an extremely meditative activity: if you already get involved, you just won't jump off.

Cup holder

A unique Russian object that turns any faceted glass into a teacup. It was invented around the 18th century, but then it was a highly plebeian object - it was made of brass and was not decorated in any way. Ornate silver cupholders did not appear until a century later. And the expensive cupronickel cup holder has become a symbol of Soviet prosperity and even a certain class, albeit with a touch of simplicity.

Carpet

Don't laugh at His Tease. He has faithfully served many generations of our ancestors, protecting the room from the cold, giving it comfort and providing good sound insulation. By the way, it really looks good in the interior, especially if the wall is plain or textured, and the carpet is of good work.

Crystal

A non-lifting crystal vase, a bowl for snacks, a whole brood of fragile glasses and glasses, and with them Uncle Decanter (he was almost never used, but how he attracted us with a weighty cork!). The collection of crystal is a clear sign of wealth, pride and beauty of the sideboard. They used all this wealth no more than three or four times a year, but they polished it regularly. Save Grandma's crystal bowl. In 20 years it will come into fashion again, but for now you can serve Olivier in it at dinners a la russ (just a joke, in fact, always).

Wallpaper

A breath of fresh air in the world of faded wallpaper, a battle trophy from a flea market, a gift from his wife's cousin, tricked into being from Korea. Such a thing as wallpaper, it seems, has never been bought, but always got it. Most often, mountains or birches in the now fashionable dull analog colors or tropical beaches with bowed palm trees against the sunset background were glued to the wall. Now the wallpaper looks a little different, but nothing too.

Regardless of what style of interior you prefer, there should always be order in your home. You can entrust cleaning your apartment to the professionals from the Qlean cleaning service.
