Fashion dictates its own rules not only in how we dress, but also in where we live.
What style do you prefer: hi-tech, classic, country, minimalism? Maybe fusion? Yes, views on the ideal interior change all the time. Once upon a time, carved armchairs, high backs, massive tables were in vogue. Once upon a time – polished furniture. Now you can afford almost anything. Except, perhaps, all the same polished furniture. This is still the height of bad taste. But for the rest: mismatched armchairs, colored walls, an abundance of pillows or a cold, strict shine of metal – you don’t have to limit yourself.
But there are general trends. After all, few people furnish an apartment with custom-made furniture. It turns out that everyone goes to the same stores, trying to adapt their assortment to their individual needs. And also – focusing on the covers of magazines about the house and catalogs with furniture. If you flip through the archives over the past few decades, you can get a real trip in time.
When such archives appeared in the editorial office of Wday.ru, it was simply impossible to resist the temptation. We have collected pictures from IKEA catalogs (the network is celebrating 75 years this year, by the way, they have something to remember), in which designers and photographers depicted the ideal interior in different years. In these pictures, by the way, you can see the gizmos that are still on sale. And you probably have many at home. Scroll the arrow to the right, we go to the past!
