Every era has its symbols. And if we talk about furniture from the USSR era, then it is certainly a wall unit, stools in the kitchen, floor lamps, etc.
Antiques are now in demand. Let's find out what to do with old Soviet furniture - sell, reuse or dispose of.
The most suitable options were discussed by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti , designer Yulia Tychino.
1. Repaint
If the furniture is not damaged, it can be repainted in a new color. This will change its appearance and make it more modern.
2. Repurpose
If the furniture is in good condition, it can be repurposed and used for other purposes, such as making a bed, table or wardrobe out of it.
3. Sell
Again, if the furniture is in good condition and has some value, it can be sold at auction or on online platforms.
4. Dispose of
There is no point in restoring damaged or worn-out furniture. It is better to dispose of it at special collection points or in a regular trash bin.
5. Give
If you have friends or relatives who love old Soviet furniture, then you can
give them this furniture.
