So I just moved into a new apartment. Pretty big ex soviet style, I can take some pics if needed. Basically I'm looking for tips on how to make it more homely and /comfy/
 
I’d say get some faded Christmas lights to put around the apartment, some posters of your favorite bands or artists. Modern furniture could make it more lively.

No fear, slav is here.

First, put russian carpet everywhere!

Glass cupboard for plates, very nice.

Ok but being serious here...

- Add band posters. Or just any posters in general.

- Old skis can be used for wall art and shelving ( https://www.powder.com/stories/first-chair-blog/powder-8s-reuse-and-repurpose-worn-out-skis-and-gear/ )

- If you can get hold of old vinyl records, you can also use those as wall art

I got the carpets and glass cabinets hahaha. But for real vinyl is a really good suggestion. +k

I assume you’re very fond of adidas and ushankas
 
The cheap options make you look like a college kid. Posters, tapestries, Christmas lights. Its cheap, but it works. You need to spend a little money. Legit end tables with a lamp and coasters is pretty standard. Get some legitimate wall art too. Some framed pictures or maybe a painting.

I would highly recommend getting this printed out and framed

im dying of laughter RN. Pure NS gold here. 10/10. Quality.
 
My favorite way to make an apartment feel more like home is to replace the shower head with a nice one. $15 at Home Depot for a better shower every day is a great Investment to me.

Indoor trees give a house a earthy vibe. also heavy aromic scents for full emersion. I also suggest a rack for your killed prey to hang them before you eat them.

Very nice, but requires more slavness my friend.

make sure to add cup to spit semechki in, bottle of vodka in cupboard.

more russian carpet and kakadou!

other than that comrade, very nice. Appreciate the camo pants, add to the “I’m living in Chernobyl and have no money to buy adidas” vibe.

Hi satanworshipper! Please excuse me for what I am going to say, but your apartment looks like a door into the past. It looks like the pics of my grandma’s old place somewhere in Russia. If your budget is not very limited, I would recommend you to renovate this place. Maybe it’s retro, but some things need to be fixed like wires and pipes, otherwise, it might bring a lot of trouble and unexpected costs in the future. After everything is fixed may insure your retro-styled furniture and find the most suitable rates for you. I used money expert for my place.

Ha I'm no fan of the soviets, but I'd so deck that place out in soviet art. I'd wear a vostok watch and smoke cheap belomors.
 
Get some trippy tapestries, a laser light, string up some Christmas lights only to realize that they don’t work after jamming 50 shitty thumbtacks in the wall, put a $20 stained Walmart carpet in an illogical location, and a shitty coffee table with a bong, preferably colorful and plastic
 
Got some framed album posters from dark side of the moon and put them in my apartment. They look pretty nice.

Old skis can be turned into decorations pretty easily! Also, any photos that you’ve taken from trips and maybe some all black frames or mismatched frames.

"Wooow. It looks just awful. Thank God that this went around us.

I can recommend you Pinterest. You can find there many interesting projects for your home. Or you can do it simply yourself by making some decorations, putting some paintings on the wall. Now, it's very easy to find some beautiful and modern pics for your wall. It will make your room very cute. I'm buying many useful tools fromhttps://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/868044/New-apartment--How-to-make-it-a-home and it really made my room beautiful and contemporary."

Yes, Yes, Yes………yes! The pleasure I feel right now watching this post is overwhelming. In 2008, I was on a work trip in Russia, and had slept for one week in an apartment, very similar to the photos.
