Embroidery in the interior: create a home coloring!
Of all the interior decoration methods, embroidery is the most sophisticated elegant work. Once upon a time, napkins and panels, towels, tablecloths were considered valuable family charms. The product, decorated with the painstaking creation of the hostess, was inherited. It was kept as a precious relic. The most important things for a person were decorated with embroideries - pillows, blankets, shirts, tablecloths, towels, linen and even outerwear.
Laborious work took whole days, months, years. The decoration of houses in Russia and other Eastern European countries could not do without exclusive noble embroidery. But over time, women began to work on equal terms with men, and there was not enough time to do needlework. The Soviet period was also noticeably influenced when the conveyor production of furniture, textiles and other interior items was actively developing. The decoration of the premises has acquired a certain similarity and typical character. To differ from the mass became a sign of bad taste. And even in times of repression, hunger, constant difficulties associated with complete uncertainty about their future, embroidery was considered blasphemous and vulgar. The party severely punished those who tried to stand out, since this absolutely contradicted the “public” concepts of equality.
