Separate bathroom
Separate bathroom and toilet are common not only in new buildings, but also in houses of the old foundation: in the Stalinist buildings of the 40-50s and in the buildings of the Khrushchev period. But if high and spacious rooms, including for bathrooms, are characteristic of the stalinkas, then Khrushchev’s are considered to be housing not suitable for a comfortable existence. Nevertheless, even a small room, if desired, can be transformed beyond recognition.
It is physically impossible to make the ceiling higher and push the walls apart, but properly organized lighting, color combinations, a combination of different cladding textures will help create the desired optical effect.

The design of low and cramped rooms involves the use of light glossy film canvases.
