People have ALWAYS and in every country tried as best they can to make their homes “nice”. In America (and much of the modern worlds) we have more “specialists” since we have a larger supply of labor and the affluence to develop specialties. In pre-modern Eastern Europe the standard of living was much lower, and the supply of labor such that few people could specialize in interior decorating (something to do with most women being tied down with house work due to the low level of technology).
