    I like the chandelier, is it possible to have all three bulbs on at the same time?

      Probably yes, although a lot of cheapskates will unscrew some of them when not in use to save energy.

        I don’t think bulbs use a whole lot of energy these days. A 10W LED bulb would cost $14 per year to run constantly (US pricing). An old 60W bulb would be $83 per year in comparison.

        But there’s probably no reasoning with someone who decorated that room.

        Math:

        LED bulb power = 10W

        Electricity cost in US = $0.161 per kWh

        Running 1 bulb 24 hrs a day = 0.24kWh

        Price per day = $0.038

        Price per year = $14, running 1 bulb constantly

          Huh, that’s actually more expensive than I’d have thought for a single bulb, even taking into account that you’d probably only be running it for a quarter of the time

    I feel like individually every item in this room looks nice but when it’s all shoved together like this it’s sure…intense.

      Wall rugs are hung for two reasons:

      • Insulation, both for temperature and sound, back when other insulating materials were unavailable.

      • If a rug is particularly expensive, they are hung to prevent them from getting dirty, especially if the owner’s feet get dirty from farmwork.

      the soviet apartments typically had cinderblock walls with no insulation and drafty mortar gaps. the heating systems were centralized boilers which usually were not operational/operating.

    I have to be honest and I think I just out and out like it. It’s mixed patterns are rather chaotic, but I love the attempts at extravagance. I’d love that front room, compared to my dull rental one.

    You ever go through a Russian amateur porn phase and remember all the fine rugs hanging above the beds?

    The contact details belong to a real estate agent, so I think I am not breaking rule #7, but I will blur them out of any future pictures just in case.
