In recent years, and even decades has become fashionable to laugh at the Soviet interiors, blaming them in a chamice, condemn the blessing vulgarity. Well we talk right now, drinking a latte from the designer cup. So what? That's what, tell me, was it to do our moms at the then deficit?
They also wanted comfort, I wanted to the house - the full bowl, so that the neighbors envy, and the guests got drove in awe. I wanted to live beautifully and in prosperity. Because the "Moral Code of the Builder of Communism" is good, but for happiness, I also want a vase. Yes, not everyone found it beautiful. Especially, not everyone could afford it. But probably at least one of the listed positions "decorated" and your home. Or maybe still decorate.
Carpet on the wall
No carpet in a solid house in no way. The carpet must decorate at least one wall. And better two. And it is better another rug on the floor to spread so that the legs are cozy and warm, and the neighbors are mental pain.
Crystal Chandelier
Czech chandeliers with numerous bangs were especially valued. And so that "horns" is more bigger. Nothing that room is 16 squares, so the chandelier takes half the ceiling and shines so that the eyes hurt. But the heart rejoices, and immediately visible. And availability of useful dating. And delicate taste.
Service "Madonna"
They brought them from the "abroad", passed into commission, and already from there this "unearthly beauty" was spread throughout the territory of the Soviet Union. No one embarrassed the terrible quality of the dishes itself, nor the vulgarity of pastoral plots, nor the disgrace of pearl coating. On the contrary, it was considered everything endlessly exquisite. Madonna was lovingly set for the glass and took only to wipe the dust and return it back.
Imported wall
The wall should be imported (Romanian - very cool) and necessarily in "Inlair". The greater the doors from the chipboard, the corona of the phintiflushks are stuck, the more solid. And in the right wall there must be a compartment under the dishes. With backlit and mirrors. "Madonna" must be placed somewhere.
Crystal
Madonna Madonna, and without crystal in the USSR, there was no happiness. Stacks, glasses, certainly wine glasses on long legs, necessarily the cans and, if lucky, a miracle of the Soviet glass industry - Crystal horn. Does any of this horns drank something at all?
Serving table
Truly a rare beast - the serving table on the wheels meant that the owner was abroad. Repeatedly. There, he acquired this bourgeois (but delightful) Maneru - to serve coffee and snacks to guests on a special table. On ordinary days, the table missed in the corner, wasted by some garbage, but under the arrival of the guests was broken, rubbed away from the spots and at a given moment proudly rolled out in the living room. Shock! Shock! Shock!
Chacking on the walls
The chasing was not a deficit, but if we do not change the memory, it was not so cheap, so it was not shameful to dispersed it on the walls of the hallway. And many have hung on the bathroom door and the toilet chasing with the image of a pissing boy and girls, it seems to be writing, although they will not figure it away so right away.
Sloniki
Fashion on the elephants was just a blank. Elephants were wooden, porcelain, clay and gypsum. From somewhere the ordinary people knew that they needed to put them with Pops to the doors, so as good and prosperity, with the form of elephant ham, was waiting to settle in the house once and for all. Children to touch the elephants strictly-setting was forbidden, but of course everyone was playing with them. They are cute.
Napkhetki
The napkins were crocheted, boiled to blue and harsh starch. They decorated with a coffee table, tv and, sometimes, shelves under crystal. Some advanced hostesses preferred homemade linen imported napkins with embroidery, but such napkins were difficult to get, so it was more often a handmade.
Trellier
A large mirror of three pieces mounted on a tube with drawers - the most important attribute. Forms of the French perfume "Klima" and Papin Oddlekolon "Sasha" could certainly be exhibited. Trellier, so that you understand, a very cool puppy for playing in the castorical. The correct arrangement of the sash could be achieved by an infinite set of reflections and quiet the faces of them. And splash the "climate".
Porcelain statuettes
There were statuettes imported - all sorts of ballerinas, Freillins and even (nightmare!) Semi-bored cowlows. They caused the thrill, delight and misunderstanding "how can this be done at all." All this beautiful has been found in the comrades "foreign." And there were still small funny figures of domestic production, "get" which was much easier. They started in frightening quantities, the dust was canceled and were the subject of the desire of all children who did not want to understand why they prohibit such wonderful toys.
Collection of bottles from imported alcohol.
Stamp alcohol sooner or later drank, and the bottle was carefully laundered and went to the collection. Someone kept bottles on the refrigerator, and someone even a special shelf under them masters (and not one). I looked at such a collection chic, and caused the guests an endless envy. Sometimes bottles received a second life and were used for home emphasis, but more often were just a decor. And we - children in secret from their parents poured lemonade in them and played in an adult gorgeous life.
Japanese technique
Well, "Sharpe"! Imported, double, desired. And also "Panasonic", and "Sony". For consuming chic - amp and huge columns. The more column, the more correct the neighbors will die. Well, weak, by itself.
Books
In fact, books in the Soviet Union read everything and a lot, who would now speak. But they also carried the decorative function. Shelf with books, and even the bookcase - Masthev of any Soviet apartment. And the presence of books meant that you have the opportunity to "get a subscription", which means you are not an easy person. It was believed to have in the home library Jack London, Pushkin, Dostoevsky, a library of adventure and science fiction (unrealistically cool) and "Angelica".
Photo wallpaper
Forest, sea, mountains, fields and other flora with fauna in the whole wall - one time only lazy did not remove the carpet from the wall and did not take pictures on it. It looked terribly, but people really liked people. By the way, they say, photo walls are in fashion. So, forward!
Rog
That surely it was necessary to bring the horns above the door. Large such, worst and dangerous. On the horns sometimes hoisted a fashionable hat. Sometimes nothing hoisted, because they looked pretty frightening.
Large shell
The lacquered huge shell of an unknown sea mollusk (sometimes several unknown clams) was brought from the resort and put on the prominent place to see that the host-Barin and was on the sexy seasons. Children knew that if you attach a shell to the ear, then hear how the waves are noisy. And they really noisy!
