God's punishment - kitchen Khrushchev?

Today I want to talk about Khrushchev, particularly their planning and redevelopment. My personal experience has allowed to draw some conclusions and invent life hacking, all this I hasten to share with you.

Meet - the object of our attention today

You no one will say that Khrushchev ...

In 1959, the Soviet Union started to sound cheers housewives communal, it Nikita pleased them as much as six meters of private area for pans and saucepans. "Happiness" did not end until 1985, when stepped into action new rules SNIP. Khrushchev replaced brezhnevki cloned, but it was a different story.

The kitchen in the Khrushchev may be modern and functional

The most common series of houses - 1-515. Under such Khrushchev in Moscow, given to more than 5 million square meters. Initially, the service life of 25 years was determined, they were later attributed to "not demolished series" category and to extend it to 125 years. Yeah, sit back, Khrushchev lived only half of his life and has changed several generations of owners.

Yes, and this kitchen is also located in the Khrushchev

In the houses of series 1-515 kitchen area 5.5 m², and not 6, as many think. These two feet you will definitely not be enough when installing the refrigerator. Tear down the walls! Here you are waiting for another unpleasant surprise - the heating pipes, which are soldered to the gypsum concrete walls, they do not allow you to move the wall. Let's make from the windowsill table! Let us, but not in the Khrushchev. Its height of 73 cm, this leaves no chance to operate as a countertop.

Option to transfer to a window washing

Finally hopes crumble in a detailed study of the building codes. Did you know that the gasified kitchen necessarily be separated from the living room door closed? All Keane will not?

Will, if carefully considered script.

Try to use every corner of the square

• Dream - this is useful. I dreamed of a kitchen in a Scandinavian style with wooden top, brick walls and brass handles. Someone might say that in the regeneration of the small kitchen at the forefront functionality, but I do not agree with this. The kitchen is bound to be comfortable!

A few more successful variants of small dishes, which can be easily implemented in the Khrushchev

• We start with sewage. Cast iron, you will get acquainted with this amazing material, once undertake the repairs. Yes, it is wear-resistant, but it sticks perfectly fat, waste and rust. If you think that you will be able to clean the pipe cable, you are greatly mistaken. Semicentenial cleared layer 3-5 cm and clogged after 6-8 months.
  What to do? To cut cast iron drainage system and to install a new drain in the riser lying in the wall. For this purpose, you can choose the polyethylene, polypropylene and PVC pipes.

Do not be afraid of brightness in the decoration of the walls

• Voltage and Power. New wiring - the key to a strong nervous system. In my gasified Khrushchev did not find any outlet to 380 volts, required to connect equipment. What to do? Pick combined technique under 220 volts. So, I settled down in the kitchen microwave oven with the function of a height of only 45 cm.

If you have the opportunity cuisine association, use it

• Vytyabuckle arrangement is required! We long to convince ourselves that life is possible and without hoods, but install it still needs. Let it be a compact built-in model that corrugation hide in the wall cabinet.

You see the hood? No? And it is!

If you plan to transfer the hood to the significant distance from the vent, get a model with air recirculation. The principle of operation is simple: the device draws air into, passes through the grease filter, and then - through the sorption equipped with a layer of activated carbon. Purified from fumes, soot and grease the air is again in your kitchen.

A small kitchen is not a reason to abandon the bright colors

• Are you warm, girl? We strongly recommend to install the floor heating system. Ponders the electricity and water? Do not hesitate, the latter can be mounted only in Khrushchev illegally.
  Besides legality installation, the electric field has a significant advantage - the ability to be installed under any base.

Warm - the floor is your comfort, and often health

If you live on the ground floor, do not forget to put a layer of insulation. This will guarantee that the system will not heat the basement instead of your apartment.

• to order only. During repairs in the kitchen I dreamed headset, big, beautiful, different, but inappropriate for a modest area. I was never able to find the optimum turnkey solution, even IKEA wand was not able to please me.

You can easily give up the top row of the headset

Standard enclosure depth - 0.6 m, with such dimensions, you will wade to the plate side only.

• "Expenses" space efficiently. The cabinets can be hung flush with the ceiling (if growth allows), the lower section fitted with a comfortable pull-out designs in the corner cabinet to implement "carousel" for cooking utensils. And yet, attach to the wall a folding coffee table, comfortable thing, I tell you.

In a small kitchen is especially important "filling" cabinets

• To recover from megalomaniaand. Your choice should be compact furniture. I breathe unevenly to the retro design SMEG refrigerators (price -. 40 000 rubles), if the vintage does not fit into the concept of your kitchen style, take a look at the art Liebherr, starts at 30,000 rubles.

On a modest area, I would not advise to choose the classic styles: Empire, Baroque, Rococo

• good light - it's good. Into small kitchen lights have to be multi-level. Chandeliers scattered light will be insufficient, to supplement it with tape or LED bulbs fitted above the work surface.

Separately illuminate the dining area

Seven Khrushchev resident councils

1. Prefer bright tones of the facades, especially if the kitchen corner.
2. Do not give up on folding furniture.
3. Use niche, they perfectly fit small household appliances and even a refrigerator.
4. Not enough room kitchen utensils? Make it part of the decor.

Bright kitchen utensils can become amazing decor

1. If possible, take out the table on the territory of a neighboring room (actually the demolition walls).
2. As without a table in the kitchen? Replace it with a bar.

Corner kitchen with one row of upper cabinets

1. Install open shelves allow to find a place for decoration and not to make the work surface.

Open shelves - practical and aesthetically pleasing

Khrushchev in the kitchen: from classic to hi-tech

the brightness of the road

From this example I will show you that 29.5 m² can successfully fit into a kitchen-living room, bedroom and two spacious closets. What's the secret? The proper planning.

General form

Combining the kitchen and living room - the optimum solution for small apartments. Before taking up the repair, calculate the area of ​​not only space, but also passes. Remember that you will need to bring furniture, wardrobes and drawers to use, open the door.

In order to save the useful area was installed with two hob. Instead of a dining table placed a bar counter with designer chairs. The latter were the original focus high-tech style.

And how many ornaments you counted?

Kitchen design in Khrushchev built around an abundance of bright colors and patterns. View, focusing on the color spots, almost does not notice the modest floor space.

For decor, I decided to use a diamond-shaped motif, he is seen on Roman blinds, chest of drawers, rug and sofa upholstery.

Interior option to reschedule cuisine

Which requires that you have a small kitchen? It requires discipline and order! It is with these thoughts in a duet with the hostess we were designing the next project.

This is not an easy Khrushchev, it experienced a large-scale redevelopment of the demolition of the walls, so now the oven is located on the site of the old passage. Very comfortable and functional solution.

To accommodate all the equipment, shared hob with oven

Primary colors - black and white. Is it appropriate to such precise geometry on a modest area? Yes! Due to the interior contrasts acquires volume. The main accent spot - the floor, finished with large tiles, laid in a staggered manner.

Due to the demolition of the walls of the room had to zone difference flooring. Tile successfully coexists with oak parquet.

The main spot of color - saturated electric blue sofa

This interior - proof that the small kitchen can be functional. With proper selection of the dimensions of the furniture and equipment we were able to accommodate an oven, hob and comfortable lockers. But the table has had to endure in the dining area combined living room.

Kitchen set

In addition to the narrow table, picked up chairs from IKEA with the effect of mild abrasions.

Partition between the kitchen window and balcony "chosen" Asian masks.

Interior details

Black and white Scandinavian

It is believed that such styles as loft and Scandinavian are not relevant to a small area, require a lot of light and high ceilings. I will try to prove you otherwise, and will help me in this photo instruction, allow to realize "demanding" the northern romance is only 5 meters.

Lots of light - the main rule of the implementation of the Scandinavian style with their own hands

After dismantling of curtain walls Khrushchev turned into open space with kitchen, tucked away in a corner. Emphasis was placed on the maximum open space, so you will not find in the interior of wall cabinets and abundant textiles.

Part of the kitchen is hidden behind a black wall

At first glance, the kitchen seems very tiny, but it is not. The black wall hides a second kitchen unit, the installed angle to the base. You'd be surprised, but I was able to find a place not only cooler but also a dishwasher.

Open shelves - it's convenient

Refusal of the upper cabinets are not only made the interior a light, but also enabled us to identify the texture of the walls - brickwork, painted white. The emphasis on the Scandinavian minimalism and white tiles makes a simple form without patterns.

General view of the kitchen

Dining area placed outside the kitchen and equipped next to the window. In addition, it is highlighted in a separate light source in the form of suspensions with fashion designer lamps in the loft. Game of contrasts is picked up by a black windowsill.

Kitchen with piano

The next version of the redevelopment sure you will be interested, with his help, I will prove that the kitchen can accommodate not only the minimum amount of equipment, but also a grand piano.

Wallpapers for a small kitchen in the Khrushchev should be as neutral as possible, consider textured coating for painting

Demolition of the walls in the apartment will find a place of necessary household appliances, walk-in closet, the structure of the cabinets and even a guest bathroom.

The main color combined living selected gray, but the power given to the kitchen white. Facades and apron blend in with the color of the walls, due to this they are not falling accent.

Lighting - a combination of a central chandelier with built-in lights

New York tone interior traced high plinth, paneled facades, behind which hides the fridge, painted brick, soothing colors. Territory of kitchen and living room combines black piano and drawings enclosed in glass frames.

Dinner Zone

Another distinctive feature of issuing "American" style - shifted to wash the window. Mobile table can change not only the size, but also the location, followed by a special arm moves the movable shade.

And here is the piano

Add the mustard

The apartment was quite inconvenient layout, after the dismantling and transfer of the walls kitchen connected with the living room and in the hallway there was a place for the built-in furniture and functional niches.

Zoning carried out at the expense of laying various floor covering: the kitchen is laid white granite in the living room - oak parquet board.

Dining area and part of the kitchen

There in the Khrushchev is one drawback - low ceilings. Eliminate the problem can only visually. For this kitchen, I chose the narrow vertical facades and discreet ceiling lights, in a duo they facilitate the kitchen.

Basic style - Scandinavian with elements of neo-classical: an abundance of natural materials, restrained coloring and minimal decor. The color scheme is based on shades of gray and white. Monochrome wall decoration has become an excellent background for bright contrasting details: the red lamp shade and yellow stools, ladders.

bright accents

white and gray, due to this it merges into a single background with kitchen and visually increases the height of the room: two colors used in the decoration of the apron.

Summing up

I hope I was able to prove that even in the Khrushchev is possible to organize a modern, comfortable and stylish interior. Now it's your turn to share ideas-everything baby food. Oh yeah, do not forget to at least one eye to look at the video in this article.
