Kitchen design in Khrushchev

Housing, which in the past 20 th century was massively built, does not differ in comfort, thoughtful planning and, especially, spaciousness. Well, the kitchen in such houses is very far from the dining room. There is hardly enough room for cooking. So the task for designers is not easy: to turn a couple of meters into a place that will meet all the requirements of the owners, to maintain their interior design throughout the apartment, and also to be unique.

It is interesting that while ordinary people talk about space saving among themselves, the designers produce optimization - although the same thing is meant. So the design of small kitchens in Khrushchev is a consensus between style, beauty and maximum use of space, trying not to encumber it. After all, to arrange a small room there are techniques of lighting, furniture arrangement and many other options.

Techniques that help make a small kitchen more comfortable

The interior design of the kitchen in Khrushchevka is made taking into account the space saving, and also accompanied by the desire to visually expand the common space. But how to achieve the desired result?

The first way to visually expand the space is to use neutral colors, and bright and even black colors can be used as an accent. The second option to facilitate and slightly expand the kitchen can be light curtains: Roman or blinds , which gently scatter light.

The modern design of the Khrushchev kitchen implies the unification of the kitchen and the living room. As a uniting element can serve as general techniques in the design of the finish and accessories.

Textiles in pastel colors will give smoothness to outlines. Do not be redundant and prints. A very good "expander" of space is simplicity. While complexities, abrupt transitions and too many bright shades can only exacerbate reality.

It is necessary to choose the right furniture for the kitchen. It can be the same color as the walls. Do not be afraid, it will not merge with them, but will create the effect of space. And even easier to design transparent cabinets. Plus, in a small kitchenette it is better to use large components of furniture. After a small size will create a kind of disorder. Use the case-pencil case, which will draw visually the walls. A table is better to buy a round, you can fold. Upholstery sofa, if fitted, chairs, should be light and without large prints.

Cornice for curtains can be raised to the maximum height, which also visually stretch the room. Small, but bright accessories can be asymmetrically placed on the walls, which will distract attention from small room sizes.

Not bad will work and mirrors. They look great as an apron and on the doors of furniture. And if there is a good stretching, you can remove the doors or replace them with glass or simple sliding ones.

And remember, everything is cumbersome better to remove from the eyes. This will also make it easier for you to clean the kitchen.

A little about the repair

Light, or better - white, the ceiling will help solve the problem of expanded space. Not bad, if the floor will be combined with the ceiling - the same light and the same color. A wall is better not to decorate a large pattern. A soft, non-dark tone will be very welcome.

The design of a small kitchen in Khrushchev sometimes requires major changes in the interior. But for redevelopment you need to get a permit. Only after that you can afford to combine the kitchen with the living room. As a result, you get a large room, divided into zones. You can save space and using the built-in technology. In such cases, you should make sketches of furniture just for your kitchen and appliances.
