Techniques for creating a functional space
Working through Khrushchev kitchen design, it is necessary to try to create the most functional interior, where every centimeter of space will be used with benefit. The instructions presented in this section will help you to profitably dispose of the available square meters.
During the renovation process, attention must be paid to furniture, household appliances, colors, accessories and textiles
Reception 1. Furniture
When choosing a set and other furniture for a small Khrushchev kitchen, you need to think over everything to the smallest detail. It is worth paying attention to the following points.
- Working surface. All lower cabinets of the headset should be combined with a solid worktop that will serve as a work surface for cooking.
The longer the work surface, the more convenient it is to cook on it.
Do not forget about the windowsill. Use it as an additional work surface or folding dining table. It will not take up much space, but it will help to abandon the overall dining set.
The window sill can be turned into an additional work surface or table
- Dinner table. As mentioned above, it can be replaced with a compact folding structure located instead of a window sill or against the wall. If all of you cannot do without a table, then give preference to a round structure made of plastic or glass - it will not take up much space and will not burden the space.
The round shape of the table looks less overall, in contrast to the rectangular one
- a door. Think carefully, does the design of Khrushchev's kitchen need a swing door so much? When open, it eats up useful centimeters. If you cannot do without a door at all, it is better to opt for a folding or retractable structure.
The absence of a door will add a few centimeters to the space.
- Transformers. When setting up your kitchen, use furniture that can perform several functions at once. A retractable tabletop that converts into a breakfast table if necessary, folding chairs that conveniently hide on the balcony - all this will help you significantly save space.
Transformable constructions are the best solution for a small kitchen
Reception 2. Appliances
Various household appliances can take up a lot of space. Of course, it will not work to refuse it, but to place it compactly is quite.
- Built-in models. The design of kitchens in Khrushchevs will only benefit from the use of built-in appliances. For example, a small dishwasher can easily be placed under the sink.
For a small room, you should choose only built-in household appliances
- Hob. Instead of a full-fledged gas or electric stove, use a compact built-in hob. Under it you can place the same dishwasher or mini-refrigerator. The oven can be built into a pencil case or hung on a bracket.
The oven can be built into the pencil case at eye level - so it will be much more convenient to use it
- Fridge. It is quite difficult to fit a large refrigerator into the design of a kitchen for a Khrushchev. Therefore, it should either be taken out into the corridor or onto the insulated balcony, or choose a horizontal built-in model.
Better to try to move the refrigerator outside the kitchen
- Hood. The fireplace-type dome hood looks very impressive, but it is completely unsuitable for arranging small rooms. Instead, it is better to choose a flat model, above which there is also an additional shelf.
The flat hood takes up minimal space
Reception 3. Color spectrum
There are several design techniques at once that will help visually increase the limited space. Among them:
- Use only light colors for finishing.
- A combination of more than 2 shades or colors in the process of arrangement.
- Use of wallpaper only with a medium-sized pattern.
- Lack of too contrasting transitions between shades.
- Use of mirror and glossy surfaces.
Light colors will visually increase the kitchen area
Reception 4. Accessories
When creating a design for a Khrushchev kitchen, it is important to carefully consider the entire decor to the smallest detail. Remember the main thing - the abundance of small elements (vases, plates, photographs, etc.) visually creates the feeling of a cluttered space. So you need to use them in a very dosage.
In a small kitchen, use the minimum amount of accessories.
- Materials. It is better to give preference to natural materials. They will add a touch of elegance to the interior.
- Apron. It can be turned into a full-fledged decorative element. You can finish it with mosaics, glass tiles or tempered glass photo panels.
A bright apron can become a highlight of the interior
- Paintings. The design of kitchens in Khrushchev is not complete without some paintings on the walls. Retro styles love black and white drawings, without bright emotional episodes. High-tech is suitable for an abstraction or something unusual, Malevich's "black square" is enough.
Instead of a picture, you can hang a stylish clock
Reception 5. Curtains
Window framing plays one of the most important roles in arranging a small kitchen. The right drapery can transform a room, while oversized curtains will create a sense of congestion.
For the kitchen in Khrushchev, Roman, roller blinds, pleated curtains or light curtains are most suitable
There are several models of curtains that are ideal for small rooms.
- Roll. They are compact, differ in a wide range of colors, and the price for them is very democratic. Among other things, roll-up models can be attached both directly to the window and to the wall or even the ceiling, which will visually raise it.
Roller blinds practically do not take up space, but they look very interesting
- Pleated. Their main feature is considered to be the ability to close either the upper or lower part of the window, or the entire opening as a whole. This allows you to comfortably and quickly adjust the lighting level in the kitchen.
Thanks to pleated curtains, you can conveniently adjust the lighting level
- Roman. A very stylish option that combines the laconicism of minimalism and the elegance of the classics. The wavy folds give the room some airiness.
Roman curtains fit any interior
- Curtain. Light translucent curtain, if necessary, decorated with a lambrequin. This option is considered the best for decorating windows facing the north side of the world.
Lightweight curtain - ideal for a kitchen with poor natural light
