Kitchen in Khrushchev with a gas column: accommodation options, 37 photos

Safety precautions

When transferring or replacing gas equipment, a new gas supply project is required. If the kitchen is combined with the living room, then the room should not be used as a bedroom, and the room should be delimited by a mobile partition and equipped with gas leakage sensors.

Arrangements for the gas column

A prerequisite for the safe operation of the column is its correct location. The device must not be hung over a gas stove and refrigerator. Placement above the sink is allowed if the area of ​​the room is 6 m: the kitchen in Khrushchev occupies just that much.

In the photo there is gas equipment located above the sink. Surrounded by cabinets, the speaker is not visible at first glance and does not attract attention.

The layout must be thought out before the start of repairs in order to purchase a suitable kitchen set and realize the desired style. The open arrangement of the column in the kitchen in Khrushchev is the safest and easiest. The design of modern models allows you to choose colors and shapes suitable for the interior. The device looks particularly successful against the background of white facades.

If the equipment is placed in a cabinet, the following requirements must be met:

• The combustion chamber of the column must be closed.
• The distance from the cabinet walls to the body of the gas device must be at least 3 cm.
• It is necessary to provide ventilation of the cabinet by dismantling the bottom, back and top. This will ensure airflow and help to avoid fire from heating and ignition of the walls.

In the photo there is a small-sized kitchen in Khrushchev with a hidden column by the window and a refrigerator. Particularly noteworthy is the work surface, arranged on the windowsill.

When ordering kitchen furniture in Khrushchev and disguising a geyser, you should consult with specialists: this is necessary for the safety of all residents of the house. If it is necessary to transfer the device more than 1.5 m, approval and new design documentation are required.

How to make pipes and chimney?

When decorating a small kitchen, the question arises of how to hide the pipes, the presence of which most people consider a drawback. It is impossible to sew them in: deaf drywall niches and boxes will be a gross violation. When hiding the pipeline, it is necessary to leave free access to it - equip the decorative box with a door or hatch.

In the photo there is a kitchen in Khrushchev, where only a gas pipe, left in sight, resembles a column. A refrigerator is built into the cupboard, and the windowsill serves as an additional place to relax.

Connoisseurs of modern styles (scandi, loft, fusion and contemporary) are tolerant to open pipes and chimneys, preferring to leave them in sight. Firstly, the boxes deprive the kitchen in Khrushchev of valuable space, and secondly, even “unattractive” gas pipes can fit perfectly into the chosen style.

In the photo there is a direct kitchenette with a neat black column and pipes, in harmony with the stylish decor.

Features of the arrangement of the kitchen

When repairing an apartment with a column, safe fire-resistant materials should be selected. Do not wallpaper the walls near gas equipment. For a kitchen apron, ceramic tile or plaster is suitable.

The photo shows a kitchen in beige and coral tones, the walls of which are covered with decorative plaster.

The ceiling in the kitchen with a geyser is covered with non-combustible materials: water-based paint, drywall and plaster. Plastic panels, wallpaper and enamel are prohibited. A stretch ceiling is allowed, but it should be installed at a distance of 30 cm from the column.

Despite all the difficulties and rules that must be followed when operating the column, the device has an undeniable plus: its owners very rarely remain without hot water.

Real interior design ideas

It is important that the geyser in the interior of the Khrushchev’s kitchen look with it as a whole. There are many design examples where the device remains in sight and fits perfectly into the environment. But for a kitchen in a classic style, this option is not suitable. The column either hides behind a continuous facade, or hides behind a door with additional ventilation holes in the form of a decorative grille.

In the photo there is a combined kitchen-living room in cream colors with a column hidden in a niche.

Even after the redevelopment of the kitchen in Khrushchev, there remains the risk of not fitting all the necessary. When designing functional zones, it is worth using every free centimeter. It’s useful to use the space in height: long hanging cupboards to the ceiling will help.

In a small kitchen, it is better to use built-in appliances: this way the interior will look more concise, and the room will seem larger.

If the color of the geyser does not suit, it can be painted in any shade. To do this, turn off the gas tap and water, remove the housing. After removing traces of soot from the surface, sand it and degrease it with solvent. Then coat with a primer, which will protect the coating from rust and ensure adhesion. The body is painted in two layers with the help of special paint for metal from a spray can.
