The contrasting style gap between the powerfully decorated stations of Moscow's center and the spartan-looking stations of the 1960s was eventually filled. In the mid-1970s the architectural extravagance was partially restored. However, the newer design of shallow "centipede" stations (now with 26 columns, more widely spaced) continued to dominate. For example, [[Kaluzhskaya (Moscow Metro)|Kaluzhskaya]] "centipede" station from 1974 (adjacent to ''Novye Cheryomushki'' station) features non-flat tiles (with 3D effect utilized), and [[Medvedkovo (Moscow Metro)|Medvedkovo]] from 1978 features complex decorations.

1971 station [[Kitay-gorod (Moscow Metro)|Kitay-Gorod]] ("Ploshchad Nogina" at the time) features [[cross-platform interchange]] (Line 6 and line 7). Although built without "centipede" design or cheap ceramic tiles, the station utilizes near-[[grayscale]] selection of colors. It is to note the "southbound" and "northbound" halls of the station have identical look.

[[Babushkinskaya]] station from 1978 is a no-column station (similar to [[Biblioteka Imeni Lenina]] from 1935). 1983 [[Chertanovskaya]] station has resemblance to [[Kropotkinskaya]] (from 1935). Some stations, such as the deep-dug [[Shabolovskaya]] (1980), have the near-tunnel walls decorated with metal sheets, not tiles. [[Tyoply Stan (Moscow Metro)|Tyoply Stan]] features a theme related to the name and the location of the station ("Tyoply Stan" used to literally mean ''warm area''): its walls are covered in brick-colored ribbed panes, which look like [[Radiator (heating)|radiators]]).

Downtown area got such stations as [[Borovitskaya (Moscow Metro)|Borovitskaya]] (1986), with uncovered red bricks and gray, concrete-like colors accompanying a single gold-plated decorative pane known as "Tree of peoples' of USSR" or additional station hall for [[Tretyakovskaya (Moscow Metro)|Tretyakovskaya]] to house [[cross-platform interchange]] system between line 6 and line 8. To this day, Tretyakovskaya metro station consists of two contrasting halls: [[brutalism|brutalistic]] 1971 hall and custom design hall from 1986 reminiscent of [[Tretyakov Gallery|Tretyakovskaya Galereya]] museum located within walking distance.
