Repair in a two-room Khrushchev - 7 steps to a comfortable life

We take into account the features of the layout

Typical Khrushchev has a very small kitchen - 5-6 squares. Another feature is the low ceilings of up to 2.7 meters. Yards without redevelopment are often uncomfortable, especially if the second room is a walk-through.

The standard area of ​​the two-room Khrushchev is about 43-44 square meters. Five-story houses. Most of the rooms are adjacent, the windows face one side (except for the corner apartment with two windows). As the advantages of Khrushchev, one can distinguish the presence of a pantry and a balcony.

Consider the most common layout types more details.

Book

This layout is considered the most unsuccessful: a passage room with a wide doorway plays the role of a dining room, and in a family with children, it also plays a bedroom. Solitude in such a space is difficult to achieve. To separate the rooms, you have to sacrifice part of the room. Without partitions, for the demolition of which it is necessary to obtain permission, Khrushchev can be turned into a spacious studio.

Tram

Such a popular name (the word "train" is also used) was given to the layout for rooms located one after another, reminiscent of cars. The living room with a balcony is a walk-through, but alteration solves this problem: if you cut off part of the room and turn it into a corridor with two entrances, you can organize a storage system in the resulting niche.

Undershirt

It is a very convenient layout, in which the rooms are separated by a kitchen and a hallway, but this type of Khrushchev is not common. It is also called the “butterfly” due to the similarity of rooms with symmetrical wings.

We think over the redevelopment

Holders of budget two-room Khrushchev more and more often decide on apartment remodeling, and rightly so: redevelopment allows you to separate two rooms, isolate family members from each other, increase free space.

Important points in the reconstruction of the apartment

Before starting the restructuring, you need to pay attention to several nuances:

• Before repair, you should draw up a detailed design project with all the calculations. This will help to avoid hitch in the future.
• All changes in Khrushchev must be made in the technical passport of the apartment, for this you need to contact the BTI.
• Not all overlaps inside the Khrushchev are not bearing, so it will be easy to agree on such an alteration. But there are times when this is not possible at all!

Popular Options

Practice shows that the reconstruction of Khrushchev gives an amazing result - when the bathroom is combined, the space for a washing machine is freed up; when the demolition of the partition between the room and the kitchen appears space for the dining table. The diagrams below show several more ways to increase the comfort of two-room Khrushchev.

2 connecting rooms

Adjacent are rooms with a common wall. The layout with adjacent rooms and different entrances is called a “mini-improvement". If the apartment has pantry, due to it you can increase the area of ​​the kitchen: the pantry is disassembled, the bathroom is moved to its place, and 3 square meters is added to the kitchen area.

In the photo there is an enlarged kitchen in a two-room Khrushchev, where there was a place for a dining table.

Without a partition between the kitchen, Khrushchev will turn into a European apartment, and the owner will receive a spacious kitchen-living room. If the kitchen is gasified, the opening must be equipped with a sliding partition. The loggia can be insulated and used as cabinet.

With a passage room

Such a layout is convenient if a person lives alone. In the tiny kitchen there is enough space for a small table and everything necessary for cooking, and one of the rooms will become a living room with a passage to the bedroom. If a couple or a family with a child live in a two-room Khrushchevka apartment, the apartment needs to be redone. Due to the construction of an additional partition, the corridor increases, the interior door is transferred to a new place and tenants receive two isolated rooms.

Due to the reconstruction of the flooring, many designers achieve an increase in the height of the room up to 3 meters. This allows you to visually change the appearance of the room, build tall spacious cabinets and install loft bed.

From two to three rooms

With the arrangement of treshki in small-sized Khrushchev, rooms will significantly decrease in size. One of them may lose daylight. The way out in this situation is windows in the partition, openings under the ceiling or a false window.

Studio in Khrushchev

If you demolish all the walls (except for the load-bearing), you get an apartment with a free layout. It remains only to zone the space with a table, lightweight partitions or upholstered furniture.

We make competent zoning

A spacious room often needs division into zones. It is convenient to fence off the kitchen from the room with a table or a bar. To hide bed in the living room, erected glass or rack walls, put up screens, hang curtains. It is important that the structure does not "eat up" the space.

In the photo, the small kitchen is separated multifunctional bar counter.

Useful separate the areas with an open rack: It will play not only the role of a partition, but also become a place of storage of things.

We design the design of each room

Consider the design of a two-room Khrushchev in detail, because each individual room has its own characteristics.

Living room

The more people living in the apartment, the more busy central room in Khrushchev - hall. To make it easy for all family members to gather here in the evenings, but also to receive guests, the place to sleep should be hidden. Good way out - folding sofa bed. When folded, it does not take up much space. Opposite him hang tv or install a decorative fireplace. Sometimes the passage room can combine the role of a dining room, living room and bedroom.

Kitchen

IN cramped kitchen 6 sq. meters It is not easy to place modern equipment and a dining area. Without redevelopment in such a small area, a four-plate stove, a work surface and a refrigerator can hardly fit.

To save precious centimeters, it is recommended to use the built-in equipment (it takes up less space), two-plate stoves, transformer furniture. If you transfer the communications to the window, the sink can be built into the windowsill.It is easier to equip the dining room in the room, or in the passage between the kitchen and the room, which was freed up after the demolition.

Bedroom

A place to sleep and rest is most often located in the back room. In the standard series, this is a narrow space resembling a trailer in which there is a place for a double bed, a wardrobe and a table. It is made in neutral tones so as not to overload the situation. To expand the space, mirrors are used, and to give the interior lightness - furniture on the legs.

An excellent option is the use of mirrored cabinets on the sides of the bed, which, as it were, goes into a niche. For storage, a shelf is used at the head of the bed.

Bathroom and toilet

In two-room Khrushchev, both separate and combined bathrooms. The best way to save free space is to install a shower, but not every year to refuse a full bath.

The washing machine can be installed under the sink or instead of it. To preserve air and light in a small bathroom, you should use a minimum of multi-colored elements and open shelves. For decoration, it is better to choose a white glossy tile, its use gives an amazing effect: the borders are visually blurred, the amount of light increases.

Children's room

The small dimensions of the two-room Khrushchev for a family with a child is not a reason to abandon an interesting and functional design: you just need to apply a few tricks during the repair, which will allow you to put everything you need into the nursery. This image on the wall, and corner tables, and bunk beds. The inter-ceiling space should not be neglected - lockers with things can be placed there.

Hallway and corridor

To use hallway in Khrushchev to store outerwear and shoes, it is recommended to choose a closet to the ceiling: this will save space and fit more things. Some two-room Khrushchevs are equipped with storage rooms that can be converted into dressing rooms.

Office or workplace

A place to work at a computer often requires privacy. The office can be equipped on a heated balcony, in a niche, a few meters away by the window or hidden behind curtains.

What is important to consider when repairing an apartment?

A small apartment can look stylish and spacious, if you approach the repair with imagination. Experts recommend decorating the walls and ceiling in light pastel shades, but you can always step back from these tips: for example, make the ceiling half a darker, add bright accents, original furniture, dynamic prints. A decorative fireplace will decorate the living room, adding coziness and elegance.

The trend is still the floor with natural wood textures, which combines with any decor and adds warmth. When repairing narrow rooms, laminate or parquet should be laid across the room in order to visually expand it. It is better if the entire apartment has the same flooring (except for the bathroom and kitchen): this will help maintain the unity of design.

Equipped kvushku with comfort

To make the space more comfortable and interesting, in a two-room Khrushchev it is worth using multi-level lighting.Spotlights in the ceiling look modern and feature functionality: you can separate the wiring so as to adjust the amount of light. Local lighting deepens the space, and light from above emphasizes low ceilings.

The arrangement of furniture plays an equally important role. Typically, rooms are divided into "private" and "public" zones. Even if more than two people live in the apartment, it is quite possible to create a corner for everyone. For instance, bed on the podium, which acts as a place for storage and sleep, gives a feeling of privacy and solitude.

To save space in the common area, you can use corner sofa (it occupies a corner, which often remains free), and instead of chairs for the dining room, purchase stools (they are easy to hide under the table).

Decor and textiles are what give a typical two-room Khrushchev originality. Dense curtains add coziness, but narrow the space and absorb light, so in order not to overload the room, it is worth choosing a plain laconic fabric. Bright decorative details (paintings, murals with fashionable prints, accent walls) look advantageous only on a neutral background.

Choose a room style

Adhering to a certain style in the design of a two-room Khrushchev, the owner provides his housing with an attractive and special character, and the small dimensions of the apartment fade into the background. Who will pay attention to the cramped living room, if she will loft style? Flooded with light, with aged brickwork and original furniture, the industrial apartment will be remembered as a stylish space, and not "Khrushchev".

Scandinavian approach It will be ideal for a small apartment: light colors, natural textures and thin lines in the decor and furniture design will wonderfully give the interior airiness, spaciousness and at the same time coziness. If you apply the same techniques, reducing the number of things and decorations, two-room Khrushchev will framed in the style of minimalism, which is characterized by restraint and conciseness.

The modern style incorporates all the best from other areas, distinguished by thoughtfulness and attractiveness of the environment. Vivid accents are used everywhere, and the furniture is multifunctional. Lighting, color and mirrors will play to increase the area, perfectly fitting into the interior.

The classical style, thanks to refined furniture, luxurious decor in the form of arches, stucco moldings and expensive textiles, will create a sophisticated interior in which it will be easy to forget about the small dimensions of the two-room Khrushchev.

High tech - the style that stands out among others. As if peeped from the future, with an abundance of lighting, gloss and rounded furniture in bright colors, he will dissolve the borders and make Khrushchev unrecognizable.
