What is suitable for the kitchen in Khrushchev

Dimensions of the kitchen in Khrushchev

The plan of a three-room Khrushchev

• In the photo above, you can see the plan of a three-room apartment from the Khrushchev era, where the kitchen has parameters of 250 × 200 cm, with a total area of ​​5m².
  The project is typical and, as they say, is not subject to appeal in any house, except after redeveloping an apartment with your own hands. The kitchen turned out to be so small due to the fact that the bathroom has a partition and it turns out to be separate, and this forced the designers to slightly expand its area at the expense of the kitchen.

• A somewhat different picture is observed in one-room and two-room apartments of the Khrushchev period of construction. There is a shared bathroom and thanks to this, the kitchen area was increased by 0.75m², that is, the dimensions of the room are 250 × 230 cm and the total area, of course, 5.75 m².
  Of course 0.75m², this is not God knows what kind of square, but small-sized kitchens in Khrushchev will benefit greatly from this.

Window from the kitchen to the bathroom

• All residents of Khrushchev are certainly familiar with such a phenomenon as a window connecting the kitchen with a bathroom. The most interesting thing in this situation is that no one can definitely say about its purpose - it does not give light, does not open and therefore cannot serve as ventilation.
  It is mainly used as a small shelf, but pranksters claim that it is for observing objects being washed in the bathroom.
• But, whatever the purpose of this small window, it usually gets in the way when arranging furniture, or rather, it does not allow hanging cabinets in the kitchen, and it is also useless in the bathroom. Therefore, as a rule, it is laid with a brick so that the wall is solid.
  If someone doubts the bearing capacity of such a partition for wall cabinets, then you can say it perfectly withstands a 100 liter boiler on the bathroom side and cupboards on the side kitchen.

Each Khrushchev has a mezzanine

• In each Khrushchev house, at the entrance to the kitchen, there is a small corridor, not marked on the diagram above. Usually it has 70 cm depth and 95 cm width, and on top there are mezzanines so dear to everyone with a wide variety of property.
  But the whole point is that this area is completely useless for placing the interior, although the decor of the doors on the mezzanine can be adapted to wallpaper and furniture.

Design possibilities in small kitchens

Small kitchen design

• Basically, the design of small-sized kitchens in Khrushchev rests on the arrangement of furniture, and the designer's task is often is precisely to accommodate as many cabinets and bedside tables as possible, while leaving the maximum free places.
  For this purpose, wall cabinets with a width of 40 cm, 60 cm and 80 cm have been developed and floor stands of exactly the same size, so that they can be matched to the width of the wall, completing the one you need kitchen set for Khrushchev.
  Now manufacturers produce such kits so that they can be dialed to the desired width.
• For greater convenience, corner cabinets have been designed, both floor-standing and wall-mounted, which can be placed saving free space in the room.
  But in Khrushchev's kitchens, it is possible to also accommodate a seating area, however, for this you need a 5.75m kitchen², from a two-room or one-room block. Well, and the wall cabinets in this case will already be without turning, only in one row.
• The depth of the cabinets with such an arrangement can remain 50 cm, but the countertops have a depth of 60 cm, which will create an obstruction between the kitchen table and the cabinets. To do this, you can simply shorten the countertops by 5-7 cm, and you will achieve free passage.
  Although it is possible that countertops for kitchen You won't have to trim, but this is if you find a more compact corner, or rather, a smaller table for the set (the main criterion here will be not the price, but the dimensions).

Council. For cutting countertops, it is better to use a manual or stationary electric circulator so that the cut is smooth, without a wave.
It is important to carefully dimension each panel so that they are the same. The cut points on the countertops must be sealed with tape or paint, because if moisture gets in, the chipboard will swell and exfoliate.
Select the sink according to the depth of the countertops so that they coincide during assembly.

Yellow interior

• Another feature of the interior design for small rooms, including for kitchens in Khrushchev one can call the inadmissibility of dark tones and, although there is no instruction on this matter, in any case, dark tones reduce the volume of the room.
  Also acceptable are achromatic colors, light and dark gray, which will not affect the visual perception of the size of the room in any way.
  But to increase the volume of the kitchen in a visual mode, it is best to use cold or warm, but light colors - light brown, yellow, pink.
  
• If you really can't stand it at all and you want something bright red or black, then these colors can be used in the form of inserts, shading them with other colors. Also, do not forget about sufficient lighting in the kitchen, because lack of it will make the room smaller than it actually is.

Conclusion

The interior of the kitchen, captured on video or photograph, always looks brighter and more interesting than in real dimension. But guided by such samples, you can draw up your own, individual design project and bring it to life in your own apartment.
