Residents of old houses are usually not eager toto do a major renovation. However, it is possible to organize a beautiful design inexpensively. Underline for yourself several techniques from this example. The apartment is located in a house built before the war. The owners treat it as a source of personal pride. A small main room of a rectangular shape, a cheap stove left over from the previous owners, built-in cabinets in the walls - all this has a fairly modern and aesthetic appearance. Despite the fact that large pieces of furniture and decor fit into a small area, there is no feeling of chaos and disaster. How is this achieved? The whole point is that here you can find design items that combine both times - the distant past and the present. Even the linen on the bed was not chosen by chance: patterns of multi-colored circles were in demand back in the days when people watched black and white TVs. The corner of the living room is not cluttered with a large closet. Instead, we see a hanger. This not only attracts with its minimalist design, but also allows you to solve the problem of lack of space ergonomically. This is exactly what owners of small apartments did several decades ago.Two lamps with the same semicircle shape are a symbol of the previous generation of design.An interesting combination can be seen in the kitchen. The good old 1933 interior in the form of a built-in buffet works perfectly with the most modern dining room for Sweden.
