The layout of the kitchen is 5 meters in the Khrushchevka
In order to correctly place the refrigerator in such a cramped room, it is worthwhile to understand that a simple niche will not do. It is necessary to thoroughly think through the entire furniture set. Only in this way it will be possible to organize the maximum number of working surfaces, place the maximum amount of built-in equipment and at the same time there will be space for free movement.
Tips from designers and people who have already made the redesign of a small kitchen in a Khrushchev with a refrigerator:
- No one centimeter of free space should disappear. The windowsill is transformed into a working surface, all corners and niches are filled with shelves and bottles.
- Furniture to order. Such a small kitchen can hardly be considered standard, even considering what is very common in the CIS.Furniture made to order will cost a little more, but only it will provide the maximum convenience.
- Multifunctionality. Furniture-transformer and technique with several functions( for example, 3-in-1 Candy - hob, oven and dishwasher).
Options for placing the refrigerator in the kitchen of the Khrushchev's
If it is a question of making the refrigerator stand directly in the kitchen, there are three basic layouts where the cumbersome technique does not block all the traffic:
- At the window. In any kitchen there is a window, and if the kitchen is small, next to the window there is always an angle from which the working surface begins. Having placed the unit in this corner, you will understand that there it fits very well, does not block the path and is easily accessible to it.
- At the door. Another traditional solution is to install large machinery at the entrance. Thus, the layout of the kitchen in the Khrushchev area with a refrigerator working area, but also will not interfere.
- Under the work surface. The most controversial option, because such a small refrigerator is unlikely to satisfy the whole family in terms of volume. True, for one or two people this is probably the best way.
At the same time there is still the option to place the refrigerator not in the kitchen, but, as a rule, in the Khrushchevka all the rooms are far from spacious.
The best option: built-in refrigerator
The person who had a built-in refrigerator understands how brilliant this solution is for small kitchens of 5 square meters. For everyone else, here are its advantages:
- From the kitchen there is fast and uncomplicated access to products.
- The precious place of the work area is not cluttered with huge machinery.
- If you want, you can decorate the doors with furniture facades, and then the technique will not catch your eye, distracting from the harmonious appearance of the room as a whole.
Where is the best place to build a niche? After all, if the main volume of the unit leaves the kitchen, then somewhere it appears. And exactly where to put the back of the niche correctly, plays an important role in planning the kitchen in a Khrushchev with a refrigerator.
Often to one of the walls of the kitchen comes a pantry or built-in wardrobe from the corridor. You can divide it by laying a part of the doorway out of the corridor, but breaking through the wall from the kitchen. Such an S-shaped pantry allows you to correctly place both a refrigerator and household items.
If built-in cabinets are not available - the rear niche can be taken out and into the living room. Optimal placement in the corner or use for zoning the room.
Important! When planning a niche, consider the height of the refrigerator. If it is below the standard height, it may be worthwhile to place above it a removable shelves or a removable wall cabinet. Then, when you buy a new model, you do not have to break the walls again, but you can do just by removing these hinged furniture elements.
When planning the arrangement of kitchen furniture in a Khrushchev with a refrigerator, first of all be guided by personal comfort, and then the repair will be successful.
