Kitchen design in Khrushchev 5. The most successful examples of arranging a kitchen in Khrushchev

Choosing the best kitchen design in Khrushchev for many becomes a real problem. Indeed, it is not so easy to place everything you need in such a small area.

Such conditions are easily explained - when the projects of houses of these series were developed, the presence of a large number of household appliances, which today has become a necessity for housewives, was not at all assumed. Basically, the room was designed to install a work and dining table, a couple of chairs, a stove and a refrigerator, which used to be quite modest in size. And the newcomers were incredibly happy with these modest "squares", having escaped from the nightmare of the communal kitchen.

In those days, few people thought about the design of this room, since the main thing was to place everything you needed, and to keep it clean and tidy. But today, almost all housewives dream of having at their disposal not only a functional and comfortable room, but also with an aesthetic interior. About how to create it, and with what it is necessary to start the process of arranging a modern kitchen, and will be discussed.

How is the layout of the room

Color "direction" of kitchen design

Of great importance in the design of any interior is the chosen color scheme. Due to the fact that the hostess spends most of her time in the kitchen, she should be involved to the maximum extent in choosing the main shades in which the design will be done.

The kitchen has a source of natural light, so the choice of color for its surfaces is not limited in any way, and depends only on the preferences of homeowners. But, at the same time, it is necessary to remember that the color design affects the mood and state of a person - the eyes get tired of some colors, on the contrary, they rest. Therefore, in order not to be a burden to be in this room for a long time, the color side of the design must be thought out very carefully.

The most favorable for perception are discreet light pastel colors that can be used as the main design. And such monotony, if desired, can be somewhat “diluted” with bright or darker shades. The main thing is that different colors harmonize well with each other.

Another nuance that should be taken into account when choosing the color of the interior design of the kitchen is a window facing the north or south side of the house. If the room is lit by the sun for most of the day, then as the main one, you can choose any color that the hostess likes more.

If the window faces the north or south side of the house, then any color can be chosen as the main color

In the kitchen, the window of which faces the north side of the house, it is better to use light warm shades of beige, milky, pastel orange, green and even red.

If the kitchen is located on the north side, then preference should be given to warm and light colors.

Some color schemes can be called "sunny", as they create an invigorating mood of a summer day in the room at any time of the year. To create such an interior, it is necessary to include yellow and orange shades. Moreover, if the kitchen is already decorated in a certain “boring” range, you can revive it with bright curtains or small decorative items in bright warm colors.

Another color technique that will visually enlarge the space of a small kitchen is a glass apron with a 3D image. In our time, a wide range of these kitchen decorative and functional elements is presented in stores. In addition, they are also made to order for the desired size of the apron.

A beautiful and functional element of the kitchen interior - an apron

Properly selected in color and material, an apron for the kitchen can become a real decoration of the room, making its design exclusive. To make the right choice, we recommend that you read our portal article, which provides a comparative overview of various options.

Small kitchen lighting

Correctly installed and distributed lighting plays an important role in the interior of the room. It, like color, can visually expand the room, make it more cozy and comfortable to stay. Therefore, when developing a kitchen design, it is necessary to pay special attention to this issue, while taking into account some rules and recommendations.

A kitchen, especially a small one, should be well lit.
To achieve the desired effect, you can use multi-level lighting, which will allow you to highlight and darken the desired areas, as well as properly distribute the illumination of the most functional areas. At the same time, especially when using several sources, the lighting should not be excessive, irritating to the eyesight.
In the design of a modern kitchen, the best option would be to use lamps with smooth and simple shapes. You should not buy intricately designed lighting fixtures with numerous pendants and curls, as the kitchen is an area of increased pollution due to constant greasy and other fumes. It will not be easy to clean a chandelier or sconce of a complex shape from such a raid.
A combination of large ceiling lamps and spotlights gives an excellent decorative effect.
Do not be afraid of experiments, but at the same time, you need to accurately work out the illumination of areas that especially need a good overview.
Large chandeliers will reduce the space of a small room, so the parameters of the devices must correspond to the area they are designed to illuminate.

Luminous panel on the ceiling - and a visual expansion of space, and uniform "basic" lighting

One of the options for lighting a small kitchen can be a suspended glass ceiling, behind which a backlight is installed. Panels for such ceilings can have a variety of patterns, including those imitating a false window. You can choose the right option for a particular interior or even order the implementation of your own project of similar design.

Work area lighting can be installed under hanging cabinets and directed to the countertop and hob, which will make their use more comfortable. In addition, spotlights installed flush with the ceiling surface will additionally illuminate the work area, as well as the interior of the cabinets when they are opened.

In other options for arranging the table, sconces or shades with adjustable height, or a chandelier with streamlined smooth shapes can be used as lighting.

Due to the fact that the kitchen must be well lit, energy-saving LED appliances are most often used as light sources, as they significantly save electricity consumption.

How to choose the right lighting for the room?

I must say - this is a whole science! The selection of lighting devices is carried out taking into account a number of diverse criteria. With all the details, and with the application of online calculators, this is described in a special publication of our portal.

Finishing materials for the kitchen

To paint the prepared plasterboard ceiling, it is necessary to use a water-based paint.

Slatted ceiling in the kitchen

A slatted suspended ceiling will also be inexpensive, which is easily mounted on a special suspension system fixed to the main floor surface. Installation of such a coating is quick, and behind it you can also hide the wiring and ventilation communications. The advantage of rack systems over drywall construction is not only a simpler installation process, but also the possibility of simple dismantling, for example, in emergency situations or in cases of repeated. And caring for such a ceiling is incomparably easier.

Kitchen wall decoration

If the walls of the room are even, then their surface can be brought to perfect evenness only with a putty layer. But, unfortunately, in the "Khrushchev" most often after removing the old coating, an unsightly picture opens up with bumps and cracks. Such walls require not only alignment, but also a thorough repair. All cracks and chips must be well sealed, and then the surface is treated with a primer that holds the structure of the material together. Only after that you can proceed to leveling measures, which can be done wet or with dry plaster, that is, drywall.

Considering that the kitchen area in Khrushchev is very small, drywall is best attached directly to the wall without using a frame. If there is a desire to create cabinets or drywall shelves built into the wall, then you can’t do without a frame. Some craftsmen build separate stationary pieces of furniture from this material. With proper installation and reinforcement of the joints of sheets and corners of the structure, it will be perfectly used for a long time.

Drywall is a great tool for perfectly leveling walls!

If a decision is made to update the surface of the walls using drywall in order not to make mistakes during its installation, it makes sense to study the information that is presented in a separate article of our portal.

Plasterboard wall decoration (naturally, from moisture-resistant sheets) can be lined with various decorative materials that are suitable in their characteristics for the specific conditions of the kitchen. Vertical surfaces can be painted or wallpapered, lined with ceramic tiles, glass or apron panels made of other material can be fixed to them, etc.

For coloring, water-based compounds are used, and the wallpaper must meet certain criteria that correspond to the conditions of the kitchen. So, non-woven or vinyl wallpapers are well suited for this room, which have the necessary characteristics - they do not absorb odors and can be cleaned of dirt using wet cleaning.

These types of wallpapers are presented in specialized stores in a wide variety, but for a small room, light canvases decorated with small floral patterns or stripes of pastel colors are best suited. Large fragments of decoration on the walls will visually reduce the volume of the room and will attract the eye. Thus, all other kitchen accessories will fade into the background.

For the effect of expanding space, you can use spatial 3D wallpapers, which are most often placed in the dining area. For example, a good option would be to imitate a window, behind which there may be a flowering garden, a forest, a field, a sea surface, or a small street of an era that causes nostalgia.

Finishing the wall along the working area, called the "apron", can generally become the only decorative decoration of the walls, pushing the rest of the surface into the background. Most often, ceramic tiles are used to clad this area, as they are durable, easy to clean and give the wall a neat and aesthetic appearance.

Another option for lining the apron, which has already been mentioned above and is becoming increasingly popular, are glass panels, which can be plain or with a three-dimensional pattern applied to them. Glass is easy to clean and retains its original decorative effect throughout the entire period of operation.

The apron and even the entire wall of the working area can also be lined with PVC panels, the range of which is growing every year. This material is attached to a wooden or metal crate or directly to a leveled wall using liquid nails. Plastic panels are well fixed on plasterboard surfaces, in which case wall cladding will cost quite inexpensively.

High-quality plastic is well cleaned of fatty fumes, but over time, under the influence of external influences, it can change its color, acquiring a yellowish tint. Therefore, you should choose a color in advance, on which these possible changes in color tone will be minimally noticeable. Moreover, there are enough opportunities for this - the panels are produced in various colors, including quite reliably imitate a wooden or stone surface.

Many owners of high-rise buildings will like natural wood wall cladding, which can be used for any surface of the room, as well as for the manufacture or cladding of cabinet facades. Depending on the interior design, lining is used for sheathing the entire surface of the walls or only their panel area.

The advantage of wood finishes is the ability to use it for a long time and give it different shades. If the textured pattern of wood is beautiful and needs to be preserved, then the surface of the material must be coated with a water-based varnish, which will also protect the structure from moisture and various kitchen fumes. In addition, wood trim can be painted with tinted varnishes in one or even several shades.

Wood cladding can be combined with other materials such as ceramic tiles or wallpaper.

The only important drawback of using wood trim in a small Khrushchev kitchen is the need to mount it on a crate, which, together with the lining, will “eat” at least 30 mm from each side of the room. For a very small kitchen - this is not as small as it might seem.

If, nevertheless, this particular material is chosen for decoration, then it should be selected for the overall design according to the textured pattern of the wood species. For example, if the facade of the furniture is decorated to look like oak, then the lining must match this pattern and tone, otherwise the whole design effect will be spoiled.

In addition to the materials mentioned above, other decorative finishes are also used for wall cladding, fortunately, there is no shortage of them in hardware stores. The choice mainly depends on the preferences and financial capabilities of homeowners.

Furniture selection

When choosing furniture for a small kitchen, you should pay attention to the recommendations of designers that will help you rationally place all the necessary items in a small area. In such conditions, one involuntarily has to make every centimeter of the room functional.

A large number of small items and household appliances visually reduces the space, bringing the impression of disorder into the room. Therefore, the built-in appliances, hidden behind the furniture facade, will solve this problem.

You should not install a microwave or electric oven on the work surface of the countertop, as it will take up a lot of usable space. The best option would be to hide it in one of the departments of the wall cabinet or place it on a special bracket fixed above the table.
The kitchen should be comfortable both for cooking and for regular cleaning. Therefore, the furniture must be selected and installed in such a way that access to any area of the room is provided.
The placement of kitchen accessories on the work surface must be organized in such a way that the hostess has everything at hand. So, for example, a dryer for dishes and cutlery should be located in the sink area.
To save as much free space as possible in a kitchen with a small area, designers recommend using an angular or linear layout.

Kitchen railings, which can accommodate a large number of kitchen accessories, will help to save a lot of space. These devices are fixed on the "apron", therefore, if they are planned to be used in the design of the room, it is worthwhile to provide a suitable material for facing this section of the wall.
Another device that facilitates the operation of the working area of the kitchen and saves space are drawers used instead of conventional shelves.

In compact kitchens, it can be difficult to find a place for a dining table. Its location will depend on the plan of the kitchen and the number of family members. For example, if two or three people live in an apartment, then a window sill can be used for this zone, smoothly turning into a countertop. Such a model is suitable not only for a family meal, but also for work in the evening, when all the family members are already asleep.

Another option for the table can be a folding design, which is operated only when eating. At other times, the tabletop is in a folded state, and does not interfere with the hostess in any way, since it does not take up any usable area.

In some cases, the solution to the problem of organizing a dining area can be a retractable table, which is hidden in one of the cabinets of the work area. However, this option is suitable for a small family of two or three people.

For those who dream of having a cozy round version of the table in the kitchen, but it is in no way possible to use it for a small room, there are folding designs that take up very little space. When purchasing such a piece of furniture, it is necessary to measure in advance the area where it will be unfolded.

Examples of implemented design projects for the design of a small kitchen

Next, several design options will be presented that can be applied in Khrushchev kitchens. One of them or individual elements of design and layout can be tried on in your kitchen.

Kitchen with orange front

Properly selected colors of furniture and other room accessories can create a special atmosphere in it. Orange has been proven to be the color of joy, uplifting and promoting emotional balance in a person. The combination of tropical orange with other colors that harmonize with it gives coziness and comfort to the interior, and at the same time does not contribute to the visual reduction of space. In this project, the main eye-catching object is the facade of the work area cabinets. The rest of the color scheme is organically combined with it, as orange interacts perfectly with white, steel and light green hues.

An important role is played by the distribution and design of the zones in which the kitchen utensils are located. For example, the free space above the hob, lined with white ceramic tiles, contributes to the visual expansion of the room. In addition, it was perfect for fixing the railing, the length of which turned out to be quite enough to accommodate kitchen accessories. The hood, located above the railing and the facade masked by the doors, does not protrude forward, so it will not hang over the head of the hostess and limit the space.

Despite the large dimensions of the refrigerator, it fit perfectly into the linear row of the working area and took a secondary place, mainly due to the right color.

This interior has a corner layout, so there are two possibilities for placing the sink - this is a corner area or part of the countertop, installed along the wall opposite the window.

As you can see from this project, it is quite possible even in a small area, with proper zoning, to place all the furniture and other kitchen accessories necessary for the kitchen.

Red and white kitchen option

This illustration shows a kitchen with a red façade that somewhat narrows an already very small room. To let light into the room and expand the space due to it, the owners had to abandon the curtains. Interior decoration may in this case look unfinished, and light Roman blinds or horizontal blinds are well suited for a window opening in such a situation.

It dilutes the rich tones of the white color of the “apron” decorated with ceramic tiles, the worktops and the dining area, as well as the metal elements included in the design, which reflect the light both under artificial lighting and the natural light coming from the window.

In general, the design of this kitchen clearly shows the presence of taste and the desire to decorate the room in a modern style. The window sill space is rationally used, in which a semicircular folding dining table is successfully inscribed. It is necessary to pay tribute to the designer who managed to place all the necessary accessories on such a compact area. It is clearly seen that when planning the arrangement of the room, every centimeter of it was used and many cabinets were provided that can accommodate a large amount of dishes, as well as dry food.

The exhaust unit was successfully selected and installed, which, just like in the first interior, has a modest size and is perfectly disguised behind the facade doors.

If the family living in this apartment consists of two or three people, then they may well be accommodated together in a kitchen space planned in this way.

small bright kitchen

In this layout of the kitchen space, the working and dining areas are combined. This was achieved through the rational use of window sill space, in which it was possible to fit a compact sink and floor cabinets.

The top of the dining table is set perpendicular to the work surface, which has the same height. Thus, both the way it is placed and the shape resembles a bar counter. Thanks to the combination of two tabletops into one complex, up to five people can gather at the table at the same time, without experiencing inconvenience and constraint. In order to achieve the integrity and accuracy of the furniture part of the working area, in which the upper part of the cabinets is installed, it is combined with the ceiling surface with a box that hides the ventilation pipes.

Despite the compactness of the room, the designer did not abandon any accessory necessary for the kitchen. In addition, there was quite a lot of free space left in the room for the hostess to move around while cooking.

Several materials were used to decorate the surfaces - the ceiling is equipped with a suspended single-level plasterboard structure, into which lighting fixtures are built. Two walls are leveled and painted to match the furniture facade. One of the vertical surfaces is decorated with wallpaper that has deep dark colors - it seems to limit the light space of the room.

Empire style kitchen

Some housewives, despite the small area of \u200b\u200bthe kitchen, still choose classic design styles. This project presents an option that includes elements of the Empire style, which results in an elegantly decorated room that is pleasant to be in. In the interior, we found an organic combination of classic shapes and colors for the chosen direction of furniture and modern household appliances.

Cabinets and countertops have curved, smooth shapes, which increases the comfort of using the room and gives an aesthetically attractive appearance to both the working and dining areas.

For furniture, the color of “baked milk”, classic for the style, was chosen, which visually increases the volume of the room, standing out against the background of the wall surface, painted in a soft pastel red tint. Moreover, in this project, a well-chosen tone of red does not make the interior heavier, but gives it depth.

Modern metallized facades of household appliances do not come to the fore, but harmoniously fit into the overall design of the room.

In the design of this interior, every little thing is thought out, which supports the belonging of the style:

decorative plates fixed above wall cabinets;
doors with glass facades imitating thin graceful partitions;
fittings and soft reliefs of the furniture facade;
a wide ceiling plinth, which has a color several tones darker than the shade of the walls, and therefore does not protrude to the fore, but maintains the accuracy of the upper part of the room;
an interesting version of the lighting fixture above the dining area, which has a lifting and lowering mechanism;
tulle curtains gathered in elegant pleats.

Revitalizes the interior with greenery of plants arranged in a compositional order.

The designer rationally used the area of the room, including everything necessary in the working area. Moreover, it is easy to imagine such a design option even in a smaller kitchen, since one of the middle cabinets can be excluded from the kitchen wall, while maintaining the overall composition. Furniture of similar shapes, as well as well-chosen soothing colors, will not reduce the space of the room, so they can also be used for a very small kitchen.

Kitchen in pistachio tones

Basically, the owners of apartments in high-rise buildings prefer to design their kitchens in modern directions, but purposefully or involuntarily use elements of traditional styles in them. The project, executed in light white and pistachio colors, is a clear confirmation of this concept.

The working area in this interior is furnished with modern furniture, in line with which household appliances are inscribed.

The dining part of the kitchen is fully consistent with the Provence style with its floral wallpaper on the wall, furniture shapes and a lamp fixed above the table.

The harmony of the selected shades makes the room neat and calm, so it is pleasant to cook and eat in the created environment, as there are no unpleasant irritating factors in the design.

For interior design, several materials were used, which can be found and matched by color in hardware stores. The "apron" of the working area is lined with gray plastic panels, and if desired, the material can be replaced with ceramic tiles or glass panels of a suitable design.

The window opening is an element that divides the room into two zones. This separation is emphasized by the different finishes of the front wall. On the side of the working area, almost monochromatic wallpaper was used, matched to match the facade of furniture cabinets.

Part of the front wall, as well as the entire vertical surface of the dining area, is covered with wallpaper with a floral pattern, made in harmonious shades that match the overall color scheme of the interior.

Thanks to the light pistachio color of the furniture facade, as well as the “airiness” of the tulle, the interior looks light and aesthetic.

If you like this design, but the kitchen being designed is more modest in size, you can make some adjustments to it to fit it into a smaller area. For example, a good solution would be to install a dining table near the window, and instead of long tulle, use short curtains, Roman light sheer curtains or blinds. The worktop can also be shortened by excluding one of the floor and wall cabinets from the headset. In terms of color and shape of the facade, this design option will fit perfectly and will not visually reduce the space of a small kitchen.

Small kitchen in warm colors

The interior, made in warm natural shades, will appeal to many, as they do not tire the eyes, and thanks to this, staying indoors becomes more comfortable. Wood cladding will never go out of fashion, as it can give a room coziness and convey the natural warmth of this material. It goes well with any type of wood and green shades in which it is decorated. They have a positive effect on the state of the human psyche, acting calmingly, which is especially important for residents of large cities.

Although the interior does not contain bright expressive color accents, it cannot be called boring - the designer managed to achieve this effect thanks to the right combination of selected shades.

In such a kitchen, an atmosphere of calm and tranquility reigns - thanks to the wooden finishes and the successful combination of colors.

Cabinets, the facade of which is lined with wooden slats, are located under the very ceiling of the room, and have a sufficiently high height, making the room seem higher.

The wooden cladding of the wall cabinets is in perfect harmony with the glass inserts that do not limit the space, so the top of the headset looks light. A small steel-colored hood, although not hidden behind the facade panel, is organically integrated into the composition of the row.

Well suited to the chosen design and flooring, which is used as a ceramic tile, imitating the masonry of round stone. However, if this material is chosen for flooring, it is desirable to provide for surface heating, otherwise it will be cold.

Thus, only natural colors and materials are collected in the interior in an organic composition, so it can be called eco-design, which is becoming more and more popular among urban residents.

The area of the kitchen is used very rationally, so the designer managed to fit a decent-sized dining table on it, at which the whole family can gather together. In addition, the remaining free space will allow the hostess to move freely along the entire working area while cooking.

Summing up, it must be said that despite the small dimensions of the kitchen in Khrushchev, it is quite possible to create a cozy and comfortable environment on it, taking into account the recommendations and advice of designers. The main thing is to connect your imagination and optimally rationally plan the location of all the equipment necessary for this room. And, of course, choose the right color direction for the finish.

The kitchen should be distinguished by its comfort, as it is a workspace, the organization of which determines the usability of the premises. Modern designers offer two design options for a small kitchen:

Linear layout;
Kitchen for Khrushchev corner.

A distinctive feature of a small kitchen is its certain inconvenience, so modern models of corner sets solve the problem with the size of the room. The main thing here is to properly dispose of the available footage and arrange the headset as conveniently as possible.

This version of the headset allows you to arrange a working triangle in your kitchen. This zone includes in its configuration all the required elements that are required for the proper organization of the working kitchen space. The following components are located in the access zone:

Panel designed for cooking;
Washing;
Storage boxes for kitchen utensils.

For a small kitchen, this option is versatile and compact.

Installing and choosing a headset

Experts advise mounting such a headset along a perpendicular surface - this saves space. This trick allows you to make the most of this interesting space, making it useful and efficient.

Most often, a kitchen in Khrushchev with a refrigerator is installed along the window opening, creating the effect of a triangular workspace with all the necessary elements. This layout uses a U-shaped arrangement of the countertop or sink.

One wing is installed along the surface with a window opening, this allows for natural illumination of part of the workspace. At the same time, a small near-window area of the kitchen is effectively used. The countertop itself should be freed from unnecessary items. To do this, you need to hang rails for drying dishes and placing jars of cereals or spices.

The modern design of the corner kitchen is distinguished by its multitasking. The headset is equipped with all kinds of modules and mechanisms. This ensures the presence of a variety of drawers, shelves, which allow you to provide a place to store kitchen utensils in the area of \u200b\u200bthe working space. Thanks to this design, the headset becomes not only comfortable, but also functional. This helps save space in the room.

The ideal solution would be to order a kitchen set according to the size of the kitchen. Specialists will help you sort out the elements, for example, whether a corner kitchen in Khrushchev with a gas water heater is suitable for the client and what sizes it should be. For the manufacture of such furniture, a natural array, plastic, MDF and chipboard are usually used. Solid wood furniture is the most expensive kitchen option, which is distinguished by its noble appearance and its respectability.

The best option for a corner kitchen in Khrushchev is a set made in a minimalist style. It can be supplemented with additional functional elements. On the modern market there is a large selection of colors for furniture for this purpose.

But it is better to choose light colors and mirror or glossy surfaces. This trick will visually enlarge the room. The main thing is to choose a color scheme that is combined with the overall style of the kitchen.

Height must be fully utilized

Rational use of the upper space in the corner of the room allows you to increase the functionality of the working area without taking up additional space. For this, wall cabinets are used, which adapt to the existing services, plates, vases and other household items.

It is possible to use corner cabinets and shelves that can be used to store dishes, decoration of the kitchen room.

Modern wall cabinets are distinguished by their functionality. You can purchase a convertible model. This will save not only the area of the premises, but the efforts made to complete the tasks. It opens and closes easily, you can simply reach the structure without any additional effort.

Corner cabinets with open shelves decorated with decorative items will look interesting.

It is recommended to use floor cabinets having a design with sliding elements. They can store large items. Inside the cabinets, you can make compartments for storing small items. You can furnish the room according to the following plan for a corner kitchen in Khrushchev. Fill one part of the headset with only the lower additional elements, and the other with the upper cabinet models.

Lightness of space can be given by installing hinged glass shelves suitable for kitchen trifles. It will be interesting to look at the design of the headset, which includes boxes of different heights.

Asymmetrical placement of elements adds sophistication and uniqueness to the room, great for modern style. In a classic design, furniture installed in a symmetrical order looks better.

Dinner Zone

The kitchen in Khrushchev is rather small in size - this makes it difficult to single out a separate dining area on it. Therefore, various design solutions are required. The bar counter is a perfect replacement for a dining table in a small kitchen. It has a large table top and is perfect for a family, for example, of two people.

This design is adjacent and is located perpendicular to one of the sides of the headset. The bar counter will not only add additional flavor to the room, but also become a work surface that can be conveniently used while cooking.

Where to place the refrigerator?

This question often worries the owners of small kitchens. It should be understood that the installation of a standard refrigerator is unrespectable. Due to its size, it will take up a lot of space and will just get in the way. The best option is a built-in model that fits under the countertop. This option has a decent appearance, full functionality and does not take up much space.

At first, you can use the Khrushchev refrigerator built under the window. The main thing to understand is that it will be effective only in the cold season, and it will also not be able to accommodate a sufficient amount of food. In addition, it is undesirable to store vegetables in it.

Varieties of kitchen sets

Corner kitchen sets are divided into three groups:

L-shaped furniture;
U-shaped headset;
Kitchen with breakfast bar.

Each of them has its own distinctive features, but they are ideal for the correct design of a small kitchen space.

L shape the headset is very common among consumers. It is installed along perpendicular planes in the kitchen. You should first choose the most suitable angle that will fully accommodate the furniture. This headset is distinguished by its compact size. Its small size allows you to create a working kitchen area in small apartments.

U-shaped furniture installed along three walls, it is less compact than the previous version. Such a headset is practical, as it has a high level of functionality. There is a wide variety of design solutions for such headsets on the modern market. Thanks to the numerous mechanisms included in the design of the furniture, it becomes an indispensable assistant for the hostess.

A set with a bar counter will help to highlight a separate dining area without compromising square meters. The space itself is divided into two zones - a dining and working.

This model creates a unique design in the kitchen, gives it style and rigor. Designers note that this option will look better in a large kitchen. But with the right calculation and creation of the project, such a set can become an indispensable interior solution for the kitchen.

If the dimensions do not allow you to place a bar counter, then you can choose the option with a folding table that opens easily and can accommodate up to four people.

When choosing a kitchen set option, it is better to pay attention to options with built-in household appliances, for example, a corner kitchen in Khrushchev with a gas water heater. So the space will be minimally filled with various equipment, and the functionality will not differ from large kitchens.

Advantages of corner kitchen sets

The most important advantage of corner furniture is its compactness. It takes up little space, while it fits perfectly into the design. The main thing to understand is that for an ideal set of furniture for the kitchen, you need to develop your own project for the set, indicating the required dimensions.

The second advantage is rationality. The furniture set is placed according to the modern requirements of housewives. The owner does not need to spend a lot of effort looking for the right kitchen utensils. It can be placed neatly on the headset or inside it, while all the mechanisms of the design work simply and reliably.

And the third plus is the uniqueness of the design solution. On the modern market there is a wide variety of models, which allows the consumer to choose the option that is ideally suited to the style of the room.

Conclusion

The working area in the kitchen should be neat, functional and organically designed. Manufacturers have tried to work hard on the development of corner kitchen sets. Therefore, such furniture is characterized by extraordinary functionality that helps the hostess to cope with the tasks quickly and easily.

Corner kitchen set will give the room a special style, will be an excellent addition to the kitchen and create a unique atmosphere of care and love. It is made of reliable materials, so it can serve its owner for a long time and fruitfully.

The kitchen in Khrushchev is a small space of 5-7 square meters. m, which hardly fits even the necessary household appliances. Every housewife dreams that this room is functional and convenient for cooking and communicating with household members. How to equip a home with maximum comfort, and what interior design ideas for a small-sized kitchen in Khrushchev do modern experts offer?

Khrushchev-built houses are 4-5-storey buildings with small apartments that appeared in the middle of the last century. Initially, they were considered as temporary housing, but over time, the service life has increased and has come down to our days. In Khrushchev, the kitchen is an average room of 3 by 2 meters with an adjacent bathroom on one side and a living room on the other. A gas water heater is usually installed in the apartment, which causes certain inconveniences when decorating the interior. However, the biggest problem for housewives is to make a kitchen with a comfortable working area and leave room for a dining room.

There are two main problems in the "Khrushchev" kitchen: cramped space and a geyser

Having moved to a five-story building, residents begin to consider possible options for expanding the space. There may only be two here.

The combination of the kitchen and the adjacent room by dismantling the wall. Such repairs in Khrushchev can significantly improve living conditions and get a modern studio in which you can experiment with styles, choose any interior design and decoration.
Transferring the wall and increasing the kitchen due to the bathroom, corridor or living room. This method is more expensive, so it is rarely chosen. The result is a more or less free space, but the dimensions of the bathroom and hall are reduced.

Similar kitchen projects in Khrushchev require a building permit, and this takes extra time and money. It should be taken into account that unauthorized redevelopment threatens with a large fine and an order to return the interior to its original state. The fact is that when combining the kitchen and living room, the load-bearing wall is dismantled. Its absence subsequently leads to collapses and collapses of the apartment or the whole house. This problem is especially relevant for Khrushchev, the service life of which already exceeds 40–50 years.

Any unauthorized alteration of the premises can lead to an accident and death. Take care of the safety of your family and neighbors and issue an official building permit if you are planning a major overhaul in Khrushchev.

Kitchen layout

A kitchen project is where to start any renovation. Not everyone can visualize the future room, so it’s better to draw a sketch on paper or use an online constructor. The choice of layout depends on the main purpose of the kitchen. For example, if there are several rooms in the apartment, one of them can be a dining-living room, then it makes no sense to put a large dining table and equip a recreation area in the kitchen. If this is not possible, then you should try to design a room with two zones at once: both a work area and a place for eating. Consider the main ways to place furniture for a small kitchen in Khrushchev.

Linear layout - the simplest and most budgetary option, which involves the arrangement of furniture in one row along a blank wall. This kitchen looks very stylish and compact, and the main focus is on the dining room. The advantages include the low cost of furniture, which does not need to be made to order. It is enough just to measure the length of the room - and you can go to the store. Among the shortcomings, one can single out the non-ergonomic use of space. If you put a refrigerator, then there will be practically no space for a work surface. A similar kitchen interior in Khrushchev is more suitable for people who do not like to cook or prefer to eat out. It can also be families without children or a single working person.
L-shaped layout is the placement of the headset along two perpendicular walls. This layout preserves the “triangle principle”, which is so important for housewives. This is a visual combination of a stove, a sink and a refrigerator, which allows not to make unnecessary maneuvers, due to which the cooking process is optimized. A kitchen set with built-in appliances and multifunctional niches and cabinets occupies a third of the kitchen and leaves room for a coffee table with chairs. There are practically no disadvantages in such a layout, except that such furniture will cost a little more than direct headsets.
A U-shaped layout can only be considered if the room is square and the dining room is in another room. With this design, the headset is located along three walls, capturing two corners and a window. Under the window, you can install a sink (this will require lengthening communications and coordination with utilities) or simply lengthen the window sill and make a countertop. It will serve as a place for a quick snack or tea party. A similar kitchen design in Khrushchev allows you to place all the necessary equipment, including a dishwasher and washing machine, as well as a gas water heater, coffee maker, etc. To make it convenient to work indoors, the distance between the sidewalls of the headset should be at least 1 meter.

Photos of the kitchen in Khrushchev can be viewed on the website and you can choose the layout and design that best meets the requirements and wishes.

Furniture and appliances

So that not a single centimeter in the Khrushchev kitchen remains unused, it is important to place everything you need as compactly as possible. Built-in household appliances will be compactly located in the headset and hide from prying eyes. On open and hinged shelves you can put a toaster, microwave, food processor and other small appliances.

It is important to consider which units can be replaced, which ones can be transferred, and which ones can be completely abandoned.

A large tall refrigerator with a linear layout is recommended to be placed opposite near the dining table. If possible, it is better to move it to the corridor or to the balcony. A family of 1-2 people may consider purchasing a mini model that fits compactly in a kitchen cabinet. Another option is a horizontal refrigerator or a separate freezer that can be taken out to the balcony.
A stove is an important and necessary unit that can only be found in the kitchen. To save space and increase the work surface, a model with 2 burners will help. This option is suitable for people who spend little time cooking.
It is desirable to place the washing machine in the bathroom, but its location in the kitchen is also allowed. Give preference to models with a depth of no more than 40 cm, and also take care of good grounding and follow safety precautions to avoid short circuits and floods.
A gas water heater is a unit that is often found in the kitchen in Khrushchev, the photo, design and layout of which can be viewed on the website. If it spoils the appearance of the interior and takes up a lot of space, it can be installed in the hallway or in the bathroom. However, this will require permission from the utilities. In the kitchen, the geyser can be hidden in a hanging cabinet. It should be made to order and holes for corrugation and ventilation should be made.

Pay attention to transforming furniture. These multifunctional mobile units have a large capacity and can be easily moved to another location if necessary. The only downside is the relatively high price. Very easy to use and three-tier headset. On the mezzanine you can store things that are least needed in everyday life, and in the lower tiers you should keep everything you need. Furniture reaching the ceiling will visually enlarge the kitchen.

The dining table can be replaced with a folding, wall-mounted one. When folded, it does not take up much space and is a shelf. The same applies to chairs like summer cottages. There is also a version of a transformer cabinet, in which the door, if desired, turns into a full-fledged surface. You can also use a countertop or bar counter as a dining table or a place for a snack. Such an interior looks stylish and modern, especially in combination with high chairs.

Design Secrets

The design of a small kitchen in Khrushchev should be based on the visual expansion of space. Proper design will increase the area and give the room home comfort and warmth.

As a floor covering, you should choose a moisture-resistant laminate, tile or ceramic tile, linoleum without a large pattern. The coating should be laid diagonally, and the dies should not be too large (if we are talking about laminate or parquet).

Walls

Here you can choose decorative plaster, wallpaper for painting, wall panels. Vertical stripes will “stretch” the kitchen up, but will narrow it. Horizontal ones, on the contrary, will help to expand it, but will “lower” the ceiling. Give preference to plain, easy-to-clean coatings. Finishing the apron can be represented by stalinite or ceramic tiles. If there is a free wall left, it can be pasted over with photo wallpapers with a perspective that will lengthen the room.

Ceiling

For a kitchen in Khrushchev with a ceiling height of 2.7 m, a two-tier suspended plasterboard structure with spot lighting around the perimeter is suitable. You can also consider the option of a "floating" ceiling. A similar effect is achieved with the help of LED strips mounted in the eaves. If the height does not allow, it is recommended to use PVC film or simple painting. The optimal and budgetary coating option is white water-based paint.

Lighting

Sunlight alone is sometimes not enough to provide good visibility in the kitchen. In addition, a dark room is visually perceived as more cramped and smaller. Therefore, it is worth taking care of installing additional lighting fixtures in advance. It can be halogen lamps, sconces, chandeliers, spotlights, LED strips. Separate illumination of the apron and dining area will help save on electricity in the future.

Colour

For small kitchens, pastel colors, peach, sand, milky, white, beige, brown are suitable. It is desirable that the interior is light - so the room will seem spacious and free. However, so that the kitchen does not resemble a hospital ward and looks more stylish and modern, a bright accent in individual details is allowed.

Style

First of all, you should pay attention to concise and simple styles. This is minimalism, modern, hi-tech, eco-style. Classical and oriental designs will be out of place, as they involve much larger dimensions of the premises. You can also consider the ethnic rustic country style, which in turn is divided into French Provence and Scandinavian.

For modern designers, there are no impossible tasks: even from the smallest kitchens, they can make a functional and cozy room. The ideas and secrets of interior decorators will help you independently develop a sketch of the future kitchen and make your wildest dreams come true.

How to make the layout of the kitchen in Khrushchev comfortable and functional - this question worries many owners of small apartments. Several decades ago, Khrushchev's buildings provided the citizens of a large country with separate housing. It has a small room up to 6 square meters. m combined the functions of a dining room, household room and a place of friendly communication, evening tea drinking.

The modern kitchen differs from the kitchens of the 80s with a large number of household appliances and fixtures. Competent planning helps to place them in a cramped room, make cooking easy and convenient.

The arrangement of furniture or the layout of the kitchen in Khrushchev should take into account the features of a small interior, use every centimeter of space to good use in order to occupy a minimum area and provide maximum free space.

Features of the interior of the Khrushchev kitchen

Khrushchev kitchen layoutrequires careful thought. A scrupulous selection of furniture, the rejection of unnecessary items, the use of folding structures and the combination of functions make it possible to conveniently plan even a very small room without redevelopment and transfer of walls. What features need to be considered for competent planning of a small kitchen?

Furniture selection

What needs to be put in the kitchen? The basis of the kitchen is a stove, sink and refrigerator. Additional amenities - two tables, one - for lunch, the second - for cooking. A complete set of furniture is completed by cabinets, shelves and shelves for storing food, dishes and other utensils. We list the gentleman's set of kitchen furniture for Khrushchev:

Refrigerator - the presence of food stocks at hand reduces the movement of the hostess during cooking;
Dining table (better if it is folding);
Chairs (also folding or folding structures);
Sink and cabinet under the sink;
Stove and hood above it;
Work table or countertop. In small kitchens, the countertop is placed on top of the kitchen cabinet. Thus, it turns out a kitchen cabinet for pans, pots, preservation and heavy kitchen appliances (juice extractor or microwave oven). At the top of the cabinet is a convenient table for cooking;
A place to store dishes, bulk products, towels and small household appliances - these can be hanging shelves, a corner cabinet-pencil case. A large sideboard will not fit in the Khrushchev kitchen. It needs to be replaced with small comfortable shelves.

Features of furniture for the kitchen-Khrushchev

The situation of the Khrushchev kitchen is limited as far as possible. What can be dispensed with is removed. The layout of the kitchen in Khrushchev uses only the most necessary pieces of furniture and household appliances.

Several furniture functions are combined in one item. For example, the top of a kitchen cabinet is used as a work table. Or the window sill is expanded and covered with a table top (it turns out a table for cooking).

If possible, make the furniture built-in. This saves kitchen space. For example:

Shelves for kitchen utensils and various utensils in a niche under the windowsill;
Wardrobe built into the wall. In the partition between the kitchen and the bathroom, a light window is expanded, closed from the side of the bathroom with a sheet of moisture-resistant plywood and a built-in wardrobe is obtained. On the narrow shelves of such a cabinet, small dishes (cups, bottles), jars of spices, drinks are conveniently located;

If possible, choose folding and mobile furniture:

folding dining table and chairs;
reclining shelves (they become a work table);
a small table-shelf on wheels (with one movement of the hand, it moves to the right place or is removed from the kitchen into the corridor).

Arrangement of furniture: we draw up a kitchen plan in Khrushchev

For a beautiful and functional arrangement of furniture in the kitchen, draw a plan with the dimensions of the kitchen on a separate sheet. In Khrushchev or in a more spacious kitchen, this modeling technique allows you to arrange furniture in the most convenient way.

The plan is drawn to scale, indicate where the window is located and where the door is. After that, rectangles are cut out of paper according to the scale size of kitchen furniture (bedside tables, tables, household appliances). By moving the rectangular shapes of furniture according to the plan, they find the most convenient location for it in the kitchen.

In the planning of Khrushchev, furniture is located along the kitchen walls. Of the possible layouts (linear L, angular G, U-shaped, island) in Khrushchev kitchens, the following furniture arrangement schemes are used:

Linear - all furniture is located along one wall. At the same time, the wall space is completely occupied by furniture - from floor to ceiling. In the lower row of furniture there are kitchen cabinets, a sink, an oven. The top row consists of hanging cabinets and shelves, end shelves. Often the entire bottom row of furniture is covered with one tabletop. It turns out a beautiful, spacious and very functional surface for cooking;
Corner layout - furniture is located along two walls and in the corner between these walls. The corner scheme has a large capacity. In the bottom row in the corner, you can place a sink and cabinet under the sink. In the top row is a hanging corner cabinet. The corner space is occupied by the most bulky pieces of furniture. The countertop along two walls provides space for several household appliances (juicers, coffee makers, multicookers) and fruit bowls.

Khrushchev kitchens are not suitable for island and U-shaped layouts (furniture along three kitchen walls). These layouts take up space, make aisles narrow, and make a small kitchen cramped and uncomfortable.

In Khrushchev kitchens, hanging wall shelves and cabinets are required. They occupy unclaimed space in the upper corners of the room and therefore significantly save space in a small kitchen. In order not to create the impression of clutter, the upper cabinets should be narrower than the lower cabinets by 15-20 cm (from the wall).

Household appliances on the plan of the Khrushchev kitchen

A modern kitchen layout uses at least a few household appliances. Their choice is determined by the preferences of the people living in the apartment: put a juicer or juicer, allocate space for a washing machine or oven. Such issues are resolved by the owners of the kitchen at their discretion. It is important to take into account something else: the overall dimensions of the device (even among washing machines there are “Babies”).

Therefore, for a Khrushchev-type kitchen, compact multicookers and small ovens are purchased. Khrushchev almost never install household appliances that occupy a separate place on the plan (bulky dishwashers, automatic washing machines, separate freezers).

In Khrushchev, those household appliances that can be put on the shelf of a kitchen cabinet or hanging cabinet are in demand: multi- and juice cookers, blenders, yogurt makers, bread makers, mixers.

redevelopment

The bedroom can be small and cozy, the bathroom small and cramped, but the living room and kitchen should be bright and spacious. It is in these rooms that friends and family gather, common dinners and festive feasts take place.

The restriction in the choice of furniture and its arrangement in the Khrushchev kitchen often pushes the owners to think about cardinal changes. In order to ensure kitchen comfort, additional square meters are needed. You can get them by rearranging the walls or redevelopment.

Redevelopment of the kitchen in Khrushchev gives a few meters of additional space. To carry out the redevelopment, it is necessary to coordinate with the housing office and permission to partially demolish or move the walls. According to sanitary standards, only non-bearing walls and partitions can be moved or partially removed. You can completely disassemble one of the walls of the kitchen, if it is not capital. Or make an arch, expand the opening, move the wall further one or two meters.

You can replace a blank wall with metal shelving racks. They will perform several functions: carry the load of the ceiling, decorate the interior with the shine of a polished surface, provide shelves for various items (books, CDs, toys, beautiful dishes, kitchen small things).

Redevelopment belongs to the category of construction (not repair) operations. During the dismantling of the old pier, a large amount of dust, dirt, debris is formed. Wall transfer design and execution requires construction skills and professional knowledge.

Competentredevelopmentgives an excellent result - free space. Does not limit in terms of decor and interior design. Allows not to solve the issues of optimization and selection of furniture. It is only necessary to take into account the amount of costs and (sometimes) the impossibility of transferring the wall according to building codes and regulations.

Redevelopment of the kitchen: we move the walls

Kitchen remodeling can be done with the complete demolition of the wall or the removal of only part of the wall between the kitchen and the room or the kitchen and the corridor. In addition, when rescheduling, you can expand the front door or make an arch. Such an entrance also allows you to visually expand the space and partially connect two adjacent rooms.

More often than others, the kitchen is connected to one of the rooms. This technique allows you to get a spacious dining room, where on the territory of the former room there is a dining table, a seating area for relaxation and communication, a small TV, a bookshelf, an aquarium. The working area of the spacious kitchen is preserved in the same place (water supply, drain, gas and other necessary communications are connected there).

Another redevelopment option - the kitchen is combined with a corridor. This way you get a very spacious living room where you can not only sit at the table, but also have a party.

It is impossible to connect the kitchen and the entrance corridor in most Khrushchev houses. In terms of the apartment, a toilet and a bathroom are located between these rooms, and the transfer of household rooms is prohibited. That is, according to the current legislation, you cannot place your bathroom or toilet above the living room of the neighbors below.

Transfer of communications

When remodeling the kitchen, you can move the faucet and drain. It is forbidden to move the gas stove, but you can replace it with an electric stove and oven, and install them in the corner of the room where necessary.

The ideal scheme of the kitchen is a work table (or countertop), on the sides of which there are stoves and a sink. You can place such a table not only along the wall, but also near the window (continue the window sill and expand it, install a kitchen sink in it and extend the water supply and drain).

People love change. Despite the financial costs, redevelopment of the walls and rearrangement of the kitchen promise convenience and comfort, create beauty and aesthetics of the interior.

Repair work in a house or apartment most often takes place in all rooms of the apartment and house. It all depends on the condition of a particular room and, of course, the financial situation of the owners. But, wherever and whatever the repair is, the townsfolk want to get an excellent result and use every square meter wisely.

There is never an extra place in an apartment - especially when it comes to Khrushchev. Today we will talk about one of the rooms in such an apartment - about the kitchen.

The essence of the problem of repair work in a small kitchen

The fact that the apartments in the so-called "Khrushchev" - panel or brick two to five-story houses - are not only very small, but also with a very uncomfortable layout, it is not necessary to say once again. Especially acute problem of square meters touched kitchens.

Back in the USSR, they brought a lot of inconvenience, and decades later the situation is even more complicated: the presence of a large number of various kitchen appliances drives many into a dead end, turning the problem of kitchens of 5-6 square meters into a real headache.

Is it possible to make a kitchen in Khrushchev with an area of \u200b\u200b5 square meters. m and functional, and compact, in order to have everything you need for full cooking? Place household appliances - for example, a refrigerator, a gas stove, a washing machine? Arrange a dining table for at least 2-4 people? How to properly organize the kitchen space so that it is comfortable to cook and relax?

There are many such questions. We will try to the best of our knowledge and ability to answer these questions.

Space organization

Before proceeding to the topic of interior design of a kitchen in Khrushchev, take note of the basic rule for designing its design - this is order in the full sense of the word.

Important! Clutter is the main enemy of your small kitchen. Therefore, when starting repair work, remove all unnecessary, and best of all - free the room completely.

Any kitchen can be made more functional: believe in it, plan everything correctly and at the end of the repair work you will get an excellent result.

Rule number 1. Space is everything. Down with clutter - and there is the first and main rule. Always remember him.

Let's take an example. If you follow the main essence of the use of the kitchen, namely cooking, the room can be freed from the dining table. Thus, we get more space to move around the kitchen and move the eating area to a larger room.

A fridge will also save space. Of course, if you prefer the horizontal option. They are not so common, but its surface can serve as a working part. It can be built into a cabinet / cabinet. As a result, you are guaranteed a cozy kitchen in Khrushchev 5 sq. m with refrigerator.

Even small kitchens in Khrushchev do not tolerate heavy curtains, huge carpets, many decorative plates, various framed photos and paintings.

Transformer furniture is welcome.

Rule number 2. Interior design of a small kitchen: we select colors and visualize. When renovating a small room, give preference only to cream or light beige tones, which, unlike dark tones, make the room visually larger. It becomes light, bright and spacious.

A large chandelier will help make your small kitchen visually larger. Its rather overall dimensions will allow you to distract attention from the small size of the room, and the room will seem much more spacious.

In addition, you can choose a chandelier with a sturdy construction and use its upper part as a shelf, for example, for spices.

Give preference to light colors and shades to match the furniture. They, of course, can be a little darker than the walls, but not too dark. Choose everything according to the rules of contrast. If the selection is not entirely successful, the room can turn into a solid bright spot. Strong contrast is also not an option.

That's all for now. Let's sum up a little. A small kitchen welcomes space and visuals that make it look bigger.

Let's take this into account and look for several solutions to the quadrature problem.

We increase the area

Having outlined the problems of repair work in a small-sized kitchen and having considered the main rules of repair, we present several ways to increase the area of \u200b\u200bthe kitchen.

Method one - demolition of partitions between the kitchen and the adjacent room. The ideal option in this case would be the neighborhood of the kitchen with the living room. Demolition of the partition will not increase the area, but will increase the space. The dining table can be safely taken out of the kitchen into the living room. The refrigerator can also be moved.

Another option - combine the kitchen with a balcony or loggia. There are two options for combining: with the demolition of the partition or without demolition. The first option will increase the area, the second will add space.

As in the previous version, everything that is “bad” in the kitchen from appliances and furniture is located on the balcony or loggia.

And the last option is wall transfer. It is not used that often, as it very rarely helps with the area problem.

Important! In any apartment there are load-bearing walls that cannot be moved or can be moved, but only with the permission of special services.

Method number 2. Rendering, Rendering and Rendering Again. If the first way to solve the area problem is not quite your option, then we use the art of visualization.
Using various design techniques and ergonomics will help us visually enlarge the space of the kitchen.

First of all, do not litter square meters.

Secondly, choose a kitchen set, which consists of many cabinets. With a large presence of elements, it will appear larger than its actual size. Hanging cabinets choose high. Ideal - up to the ceiling.

Thirdly, use mirrors. The presence of a reflection will make you think that the room is larger than it actually is.

Fourth, work with light and color. We have already mentioned light colors. But here we focus your attention on the fact that in the design of the kitchen you can add a few bright spots, highlighting the functional areas. Then we turn on the light.

Ideal - if the entire ceiling and functional areas are illuminated.

A duet of light on the ceiling and illuminated functional areas in bright colors will visually enlarge the space.

Work zone

Dealing with the design of the working area in the kitchen 5 sq. m, you need to make the right bet: we choose not quantity, but quality and functionality. Sink, stove and refrigerator - without these "three pillars" in any way. Install for sure.

But what about the installation of other useful inventions in the field of kitchen appliances? We adhere to the following tips:

a stove is sacred, but we can also save on it by installing a hob;
a mini oven can replace the lack of a stove;
if we choose a microwave, then only a mini-option;
remember, you can install a small washing machine or dishwasher under the sink;
you can solve the issue with the refrigerator by choosing one of the options given above in the article;
we select a table either a transformer or a folding table, as in a train. Another option is to take it out of the kitchen;
the window sill can act as an additional working area. To the right and left of it, you can place several shelves. Just think of everything so that the window opens. If it is large, then one of its parts can also be used for shelves.

Already to some extent understanding the interior design of the kitchen, let's look at the two most popular options for arranging it. We are talking about a kitchen with a geyser and a corner set.

We suggest studying; you can also decide on the design option, the required number of cabinets, shelves and other furniture using illustrative examples.

You can see a photo with design options for a 5-meter kitchen with a refrigerator.

corner kitchen

Yes, the kitchen in Khrushchev is 5 sq. m - really a real "headache", but it's not so terrible as it seemed. Let's see how you can arrange the corner option.

We will not repeat the tips that we have already mentioned. You can see several options for the kitchen in the photo and approximately choose the design that you like.

But the elements of the arrangement of furniture were not mentioned. They are distinguished by three:

in the shape of the letter G;
in the shape of the letter P;
round.

The first option involves the use of two walls. This option for planning a corner kitchen is the most popular.

The second option involves placing a kitchen set along three walls, respectively, two corners are formed. But with this option, much more space is allocated specifically for the headset.

The third option guarantees good functionality and pleases the eye with an unusual way of positioning. This method is not widely used.

Important! For the kitchen in Khrushchev, furniture is best made to order. As a result, you will get exactly the one that is ideal for your kitchen. Under any of the location options, you will be made excellent furniture made of MDF, chipboard, multiplex - these materials are more priority in use.

Kitchen with geyser

Having a geyser available is a very good option for any kitchen, although with insufficient space there is always a problem with the location of the unit itself. This worldly issue can also be solved by choosing the right place.

In addition, it is very easy to hide it, since many housewives are not entirely sympathetic to this “architectural excess”. Hanging cabinet will fix the situation.

Read on for basic tips on how to hide your speaker in a hanging cabinet. This disguise has its own nuances:

Starting work related to the installation of a geyser, consult a fire safety specialist.
Having learned all the nuances and details from a specialist, make a wide cabinet for the geyser, in which there should be many ventilation holes.
Qualitatively insulate the walls.
Make holes for the gas pipe and corrugations.

Instead of total

How many square meters your kitchen or other room would not occupy, always remember: a little of your imagination, fiction, a couple of consultations from specialists - and your interior, even a kitchen in Khrushchev, will look like in a photo from fashion magazines!

We offer you to watch a video that will demonstrate other options for the kitchen in Khrushchev:
