How to make a small one-room Khrushchev visually more
We offer only 5 ways to visually enlarge a small one-room apartment in Khrushchev, which will make it much more comfortable, convenient and functional. The tips below will help you to plan the interior of a small apartment with one room, often designed for many purposes, and also compactly place furniture and other interior items in it.
1. Space
First of all, you should think about the correct use of the small space that you have:
- significant proportions. For example, excessively large pieces of furniture will only clutter a small room;huge pictures will appear even more than they really are;
- the best option in the interior of a one-room Khrushchev will be medium-sized items. Significant differences in proportions will look ridiculous, besides, it is inconvenient. Just imagine a huge dining table next to a small sofa in the eighteen-meter room. Even if you are used to taking many guests, it is better to buy a table-book and lay it out when necessary;
- single room can perform simultaneously different functions - for example, bedrooms, study and living room. In this case it is desirable to zonate space by selecting different zones visually( using color, various materials, lighting) or using light barriers or screens.
However, take care not to overload the room with multiple dividing strips. All parts of the interior must necessarily be in harmony with each other.
2. Ceiling
In small apartments, ceilings are usually high. Therefore, you need to do everything to make the ceiling in your room seem higher or, at least, do not become overhanging the dark mass. So, here such ideas can be applied:
- the optimal color for the ceiling in the case of interior decoration of one-room Khrushchev - white;
- in a small room is not suitable multi-level ceiling, as well as various options for decorative finishing, drawing, etc.;
- to glue the wallpaper you need to the ceiling, so it will seem higher;
- it is good to make additional lighting around the perimeter of the room;
- perfectly look stretch ceiling with a glossy surface;
- original version - a mirror ceiling or part of it. Not everyone will like this unusual solution.
3. Walls
The first thing to choose when embarking on finishing the walls in Khrushchev is the color scheme. Need I say that a small room must necessarily be light colors? They will visually expand its area and add light!
However, bright color accents are permissible. But they should not occupy more than one-fifth of the entire room. But it's better to exclude dark colors altogether.
Everyone knows the way to visually expand the area of the apartment - these are the mirrors on the walls. In a very small room, you can even make a whole mirror wall, it will create the illusion of doubling the room.
Excellent option - doors with mirrors from floor to ceiling in the sliding-door wardrobes. Thus, your closet seems to disappear, cease to be noticeable, while remaining a container of a large number of things.
4. Furniture and accessories
Here are some tips for properly furnishing a one-room hruschevka:
- manage a minimum of furniture, acquiring only the most necessary, better multifunctional;
- furniture should be light, not massive. Folding tables, hanging shelves, glass objects should become the object of your attention in the stores;
- in a single room can not do without a folding sofa or a chair-bed. Only if the room is spacious, you can select a separate area with a full berth;
- be sure to install corner furniture in a small room! It is almost invisible, but very roomy. There is no way to use the corners of the room more intelligently;
- pendant furniture is more preferable than usual( it concerns shelves, bedside tables, etc.).Furniture, which seems to float above the floor, leaves a feeling of lightness, airiness. The same advice can be given in relation to TV and other equipment: it does not take much space if placed on walls( on shelves or brackets).In the meantime, you will save precious area for other purposes;
- what not to do, is to clutter a single room with large carpets, bedspreads, a lot of pads and rugs, heavy textiles on the windows. The minimum of fabric, the preference for airiness and lightness - this is the main rule when choosing textiles;
- and the last in this section are small accessories. Souvenirs, photo frames and other small items in the room should not be much, but better and at all confined to a minimum.
For book lovers who have an open library with many books, the best option is to refuse any additional accessories at all. A rack or shelves with books create a certain diversity, so the other part of the room is better to decorate easier, so as not to create a sense of disorder.
5. And one more advice
The main principle of comfortable existence in a small apartment - everything should be in place. Try not to store unnecessary things, and put the necessary in the storage systems provided for this. In general, the fewer things in the house, the more freely breathe.
When planning a one-room Khrushchev design, try to adhere to the described rules, and you will definitely be satisfied with the result.
