The world of design is full of stereotypes that represent an obstacle to a stylish interior.

One of them is that many people are generally wary of buying used home items from second-hand sellers or flea markets.

This is probably due to the stereotype that this approach is typical for low-income people and is considered shameful.

However, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, holds a different point of view – such actions only evoke approval in her, and here’s why.

Thirdly, designer items can be found at flea markets at affordable prices. Even after minimal restoration, their cost will be much lower than the original.

Fourthly, searching for such things is an exciting activity in itself, similar to a treasure hunt.
