Hoarding syndrome (that's what pathological hoarding is called) prevents a person from making their apartment spacious and cozy.

If there are a lot of unnecessary items and all sorts of junk, the room becomes cluttered and cramped.

And the room loses its stylish, beautiful and modern appearance.

That is why you need to get rid of all old stuff in a timely manner. Don't accumulate old papers, rags and broken furniture in your apartment.

However, there are a few old things that you shouldn't get rid of. These are the "retro highlights" that will decorate the room and make it look stylish.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, listed such items.

Soviet wall

During the Soviet era, furniture sets that consisted of several cabinets with a large number of compartments were extremely popular.

Nowadays, many people try to get rid of such furniture. And in vain.

Yes, the Soviet wall really does deprive the interior of freshness and style. But it is enough to repaint the furniture - and the situation changes in the opposite direction.

Cover the cabinets with white (or some other paint) - and the interior will immediately acquire a "feature".

Grandma's chest

In many apartments you can find an interesting family heirloom - an old chest.

Don't throw this box away under any circumstances! It looks pretty good. Despite its age, the chest decorates the interior.

Things made by hand

Is there old handmade furniture left in the apartment? Paintings painted by your grandfather? Decorative elements created by your grandmother?

Leave such things! Firstly, they will allow you to preserve the memory of representatives of previous generations of your family.

Secondly, such details will provide the interior with beauty and individuality.
