Design of a three-room Khrushchev: 90+ ways to save every meter of free space

The classic design of a three-room Khrushchev apartment is low heavy walls that constantly put pressure on the head, an indecently small kitchen and a narrow corridor. The editors of the publication know firsthand that it is hard and cramped for a big and free soul in Khrushchev. Several options for the correct layout - and the problem of the aching little finger, which often does not fit into the passage between the furniture, will leave all family members alone.

How to keep every meter of the apartment from clutter?

Khrushchevs have long been the object of jokes. That's just the people living in them, not very funny. The level of affordability of such apartments is equal to the number of problems that appear after the purchase.

1. low ceilings;
2. combined bathroom;

The main thing in creating the Khrushchev interior is to use the available space as efficiently as possible. How to do it? All areas must be functional. In the design of a compact apartment, you need not litter the space, but use it practically.

Good lighting in combination with light shades visually expand the space. Usually a bedroom in Khrushchev cannot boast of a sufficient number of windows. You have to save yourself with artificial lighting. It is best to place several lamps: on the nightstand by the bed or on the side walls.

In the interior of a small apartment, furniture does not have to be chosen for a long time. Bulky furniture designs will destroy the concept of a competent interior. Furniture for Khrushchev should have a clear geometric shape and a smooth surface.

Remember:

• first we pay attention to the functionality of the furniture, then to the external characteristics;
• tables and beds should fit snugly to the floor, cabinets are disguised as walls.

Folding tables and work surfaces with a folding mechanism will complement the compact kitchen. When combining the kitchen with other rooms, choose a different finish and decorative elements. Space in the kitchen will help save high cabinets to the ceiling.

IMPORTANT! Don't choose cabinets that are too deep. They take up a lot of space.

Furniture should be mobile - compact chests of drawers, beds that fold into the wall and lockers. You can find such furniture in the collections of Optifurniture, Sonata, Furniture Factory.

So we will significantly increase the usable space. If there is not enough enthusiasm for cardinal decisions, you can make arches in the wall. This move will allow you to save the number of rooms and at the same time not lose precious footage. You can visually increase the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe apartment with the help of windows. To do this, it is enough to increase the window opening or, as an option, choose frameless glazing.

IMPORTANT! Standard swing doors take at least 1 sq. m. In Khrushchev, this is unacceptable. The best option would be doors with an accordion collection system or a compartment.

The most compact room in Khrushchev is the entrance hall. Wide doorways or arches will make it visually larger, which will open access to natural light.

Often, when the partition is demolished, the kitchen and the hallway become one. Choose floor coverings of different styles - then each of the rooms will be highlighted. Quality materials can be found from such manufacturers: Meister, Floor, Tarkett Prisma, Modulyss Alpha, Mirpol.

The optimal colors for the Khrushchev interior are milky white, pale pink and cream. Forget about rich and bright colors in the decoration - they will make the apartment even smaller. It is better to pick up bright accents in the form of paintings, pillows or souvenirs from the Store Decor, Pufetto collections.

Glossy stretch ceiling is a modern solution for apartments with a small area. It has a mirror effect. The main thing is that the tone of the ceiling should be lighter than the background of the walls. Give up bulky chandeliers in favor of spotlights. If the layout provides for a closet, you can safely demolish it and connect it to an adjacent room or corridor.

The loggia can turn into a compact and bright office. It is enough to put a small table, a comfortable chair and a computer. This area should be insulated so that in the winter season there is no need to change the working location.

The bathroom is sometimes connected to part of the corridor: this way you can win space for a small-sized washing machine. If there is space left in the corridor, place a closet.

Redevelopment of Khrushchev

Khrushchev-vest

The first and smallest layout is the same two-room Khrushchev-book, only in it one of the rooms is divided in two. It is almost impossible to redevelop in this case.

Solution: combine the kitchen with the dining room, and from it punch out exits to two small bedrooms.

Scheme 1 - Apartment with an area of ​​44, 32 and 5.5 sq.m ("vest")

Khrushchev-book

This is the same arrangement of rooms + one more room. Redevelopment is possible with the division of all rooms, but with large losses in area.

Scheme 2 - Layout of a three-room Khrushchev with an area of ​​54, 43 and 5.8 sq.m ("book")

Khrushchev-tram

You can improve the layout by installing a drywall wall along the dash-dotted line and thereby dividing the entrances to all the rooms of the apartment. You can demolish the pantries, and put a built-in wardrobe in their place.

All rooms are separate, redevelopment is not required, unless you want to expand the 6-meter kitchen by making a combined room with a dining room. The popular L-layout will become the optimal interior for the kitchen. One of the sides of the kit will fit to the window, and the other will end with a refrigerator. The sink is placed in the joint area.

Style: minimalism, Japanese motifs and high-tech in Khrushchev

The main task of minimalism is to create comfort and harmony in the room, dividing it into functional zones. The background is light: sandy beige, white or ivory. It is applied to all major elements of the room - from the ceiling to the furniture. As accessories - sharp color combinations: the colors of black chocolate and dark gray asphalt.

Top 3 Design Tips:

1. walls and ceiling are painted;
2. wallpaper with decorative ornaments or volumetric plaster is used as a separate color element;
3. the ceiling can be supplemented with tension or suspended structures.

IMPORTANT! Be careful with overhead structures. For the construction of the structure, the height of the room must be at least 3 m.

Japanese style complements minimalism. It does not involve unnecessary furniture and bright decorative accents. This design calls for the use of space for its intended purpose. White, black and red - all in the tradition of Japanese style. An alternative is natural light blue or brown shades.

Usually the walls are covered with natural matte materials. Cork, rice or veneered wallpapers are used.

High-tech style can be called simple and functional: vertical and horizontal lines that prevail in such an interior visually enlarge the apartment. It is based on a wide range of colors: from gray to orange.

IMPORTANT! The composition consists of plastic materials with a glossy surface of artificial shades.

Hi-tech means stone, glass, metal or plastic as materials. To contrast with the walls, carpet or parquet is placed on the floor. It is optimal to use for built-in furniture made of plastic or glass. You should not get carried away with accessories: glass bowls and geometric trinkets are enough.
