Cozy redevelopment of a 3-room Khrushchev 54 sq m

general information

Three people live in a Moscow apartment: a young family and a child. They contacted Buro Brainstorm to buy technical documentation for one of their favorite projects. As a result, on its basis, experts developed a new design, removing all the shortcomings and creating a more perfect interior.

Layout

To implement this project, designers had to use a whole arsenal of funds in order to save useful area and make the former Khrushchev more functional. The standard apartment had a small kitchen: this minus was eliminated through the demolition of the partition. The resulting kitchen-living room began to occupy 14 sq. M, and the bedroom and the nursery were allotted 9 sq. M. The main features of this apartment were an erected dressing room and a guest bathroom.

Kitchen-living room

After the demolition of the wall, the room for cooking and eating became bright and spacious. The two areas are visually separated by flooring: ceramic tiles and parquet. A white corner set complements the smoky interior, as if dissolving against the background of brickwork.

On the left is the entrance to the bathroom, which is hiding behind an invisible door. The refrigerator is built into the set, the sink is moved to the window, and the oven is raised 120 cm from the floor and sometimes serves as an additional table.

In the dining area there is a roomy round table on one leg, chairs with high backs and a cozy sofa. A window is made between the kitchen and the bathroom, thanks to which natural light penetrates the bathroom. It is supplemented with a curtain that closes during water procedures.

Bedroom

The main feature of the parent room is the rest area on the windowsill. It was lowered and a double-glazed window was replaced, equipping it with a golden layout. On the slope you can see the backlight, which allows you to use the window sill as a corner for reading.

The head of the bed is decorated with picturesque wallpaper with an ornament in tone with the walls, painted with the Tiffanny Blue palette. The ledge, resulting from the redevelopment of the nursery, was beaten with a full-length mirror.

Children

The room for the son is designed in neutral warm gray tones. The interior can be changed as the boy grows up, adding color accents.

White shelves designed for books are convenient for children, as they show covers, not roots. A small sofa unfolds and serves as an additional place to sleep. The bed in the form of a house is equipped with drawers for storing toys - this technique significantly saves space in a small room.

Hallway

The walls of the corridor, as in the kitchen, are faced with plaster tiles in the form of a brick. Spanish tiles are laid in the entrance area on the floor, and an engineering board is in the rest. To the left of the door are open shelves for outerwear.

The long corridor begins with the front door and ends with the dressing room. It is fenced off with a fabric curtain - thanks to it, the air does not stagnate indoors. Instead of a long cabinet against the wall, designers installed a set of cabinets of different depths - everyday things are stored there. Transparent facades serve as an unusual frame for various images that can be changed, thereby adding variety to the environment.

A bathroom

The walls of the toilet are faced with glossy white tiles, visually expanding the space. Communications that spoiled the look of the bathroom are hidden in a drywall box - it also serves as a shelf for storing things.

The bathroom has a double sink - this is an excellent solution for a family where they are going to work at the same time.The washing machine is located above the floor and deepened into a niche.

The window opening is originally decorated with mirror inserts. In the guest bathroom, in addition to the toilet, there is a small sink. Walls with aged wood wallpaper are varnished to avoid bacteria. The lamp lights up with a motion sensor, so it is convenient to use the bathroom at night.
