Apartments-Khrushchev were and remain the residence of many millions of people in the territory of the former Soviet Union. However, many of them are dissatisfied: the Khrushchev's have a very uncomfortable standard layout, narrow corridors, tiny kitchens, low ceilings. The same number of square meters can be used much more efficiently. Let's find out how you can reschedule and equip the Khrushchevka for a comfortable life.
Reshaping an apartment in Khrushchev
How best to remodel a Khrushchev depends first of all on its size. For example, the options for rebuilding a one-room apartment are quite small: a redevelopment of a bathroom and / or kitchen in a Khrushchev, an extension of a balcony, the transformation of doorways into arches, etc. In two- and three-room apartments, it is already possible to demolish individual partitions and turn an apartment into a studio. Let's look at these options in more detail.
Studio layout is not only a trendy trend in design, it's also very convenient. The most popular version of the studio is a kitchen-studio in a two-room Khrushchev. It is formed by the demolition of the partition in the Khrushchev between the kitchen and the adjacent living room. As a result, the standard 6-meter kitchen becomes visually larger, and you can distinguish between these zones using floor coverings of different textures and colors, or by setting the middle of the bar. Such a studio can play the role of dining room and living room at the same time.
Very often rebuild apartments with a "tram" layout (when one of the rooms is a checkpoint). This type of layout is extremely uncomfortable for life. But it is easy to fix it, "moving" the wall between rooms, and thus increase one of the rooms. On the resulting space, you can make a dressing room, a closet or move a refrigerator to it, which is difficult to place in a small kitchen. The door to the former passage room is more conveniently moved to the corridor, as if "cutting off" the corner. This will also save some space.
A feature of three-room Khrushchev is their excessive angularity. The total area of such an apartment is about 55 square meters. m, and with a properly executed redevelopment of such a dwelling can be arranged with maximum comfort, even for a large family. If you decide to start a major overhaul, keep in mind that opening old floors and pouring a new screed will help to increase the height of the ceilings by 8-10 cm. One of the spectacular moves during the re-planning of the Khrushchev is the reworking of the balcony. Qualitatively insulating it and dismantling part of the outer wall, you can significantly increase the area of one of the rooms.

Remodeling the bathroom in Khrushchev
Usually, when reshaping the Khrushchev, a typical separate bathroom is combined into a combined one. What does it give? First, there is more space due to the removal of the wall. Secondly, it becomes possible to put a washing machine in the bathroom and equip a good large bath or shower. The door to the bathroom in Khrushchev is usually set in the middle (where there was a wall) - this will allow you to gain a little more space.

Remodeling the kitchen in Khrushchev
Also there is an option when the bathroom, on the contrary, is "truncated". In this case, you will be content with a minimum of square meters of an already tight bathroom, but at the expense of it will increase the kitchen. It can be filled with new, modern household appliances, which in the standard 6 square meters. m just can not fit. This will be a good solution for the interior of the kitchen , and for those who prefer home-made food and want to provide maximum comfort when cooking.
As you can see, there are different options for replanning the Khrushchev. Which one is more suitable for you.
