Standard dimensions
Sadly, even a combined bathroom of hruschieski times rarely exceeds 6 square meters. This is not just small, but catastrophically unacceptable, because, whatever one may say, the toilet will be next to the bathroom and laundry basket, towels in the immediate vicinity of the source of dangerous bacteria.
In the case of a separate bathroom and toilet, of course, hygienic problems go further, but the little rooms where the walls are crushed can hardly be called full-fledged temples of purity. 
It is almost impossible to increase the area of such a bath. This becomes real only with the demolition of walls and redevelopment of the apartment, but even in this case it is unlikely to significantly increase the space. From here come the main tasks that are facing everyone who is trying to repair the bathroom in Khrushchev cozy, stylish and comfortable.
The main problems of the small bathroom
When you see the enemy in person, it's easier to fight it. Therefore, the main problems specific to a small bathroom should be indicated:
- Home, obvious, but from this no less significant problem - the area. Whatever one may say, it is missing absolutely in all the rooms of the Khrushchev, and the bathroom is no exception. The combined bathroom is a bit more spacious, but it's still not possible to talk about a full-fledged room.
- The second problem is rather hidden - it's communication. Full-fledged redevelopment requires a full detachment, so you can imagine the room completely empty and fill it again. And attachment to the risers, especially the riser, significantly complicates this task. Theoretically, this problem can be solved, but quite often it is accompanied by unpleasant nuances in the form of any permits or the need to negotiate with neighbors. Yes, and fresh communications will have to be hidden.
- And the problem is not confined to a purely bathroom, but a scourge of all Khrushchev - curved walls and even floors. Houses of the thaw period were built at Stakhanov's pace. Here, even if you do not take materials to your hands, it's difficult to sustain a decent quality of buildings. After all, if you do not adhere to technology, the house can not be built in such a way that it conforms to all norms. From here and cracks, and mounds, and poor masonry. No matter how small the space of the bathroom, leveling the walls is necessary, otherwise the whole impression of repair will deteriorate without starting.
After determining the main problems of the bathroom in Khrushchev, two questions arise: how to expand the space and how to make the layout as productive as possible. Let's consider them in more detail, so that the repair of the bathroom in Khrushchev's room is really effective.
How to expand the space?
There are two main ways to do this more or less productively:
- complete redevelopment of the premises, and, ideally - with the integration of the entire bathroom, joining part of the corridor or even the living room;
- expansion of visual and real living space, thanks to a careful selection of compact household appliances, plumbing, redevelopment of the existing premises and the use of design tricks that can increase the bathroom space visually.
The first method is, of course, the best, but it takes a lot of time, effort, and, most of all, of finance. In addition, special services will be required.
In the case of a simple re-planning, the owner of the house avoids all bureaucratic issues, but at the same time both the imagination and the space for design ideas are limited by the provided square meters. 
Important! If one of the walls that you would like to demolish or partially destroy - the carrier, it is better to immediately abandon this idea and begin to think about redevelopment. Not only that the chance to get permission for such reconstruction in the BTI is almost zero, so this bathroom repair in Khrushchev will endanger your life, the life of your relatives and neighbors.
