I have rather aesthetical need to have window margins, I use it as: 

(set-window-margins (get-buffer-window) 10 10)

But when I switch to other buffer and come back margins disappea.

Would there any way to keep margins for specific buffer even after
switching?

I suppose you want to set `left-margin-width' and `right-margin-width'
for that buffer instead.

That is right, thanks. I was setting that one in expectation it will
automatically resize margins. I see that I have to use both
set-window-margins and then also those variables for it to persist.
