All the so-called Khrushchevs are similar as twins, and they can hardly be called the most comfortable apartments. Low ceilings, a small area with a walk-in room and a combined bathroom - these are the characteristic features of this architecture. Absolutely uncomfortable space from the point of view of design, however, it can also be turned into a functional, stylish, cozy, and most importantly, beautiful and comfortable nest.
So, we present the optimal design projects of two-room apartments (Khrushchev) with the best ideas and options for changing, increasing and improving the entire area.
Corridor
The first desire that arises when Khrushchev sees a standard area of 43-44 m² is to tear down old non- bearing walls and re-equip the space. Fortunately, there are few supporting beams in such apartments, so we decide this option and we love it very much by the designers.
Most often, the design project of the two-room Khrushchev begins with a corridor, it is he who undergoes the first reconstruction. Since it is very small and narrow and practically does not carry any functionality for the owners (even the built-in closet is quite difficult to put here), it can expand the space of the kitchen and bathroom by changing the location of the walls and leaving only a small visible area for shoes and a couch or puff.
A bathroom
The combined bathroom has a slight advantage , because we expanded it by re-equipping the corridor, and now you can put a large corner bath, and use a thin screen, for example, to fence the toilet. To save space, you can do without a washbasin.
Kitchen
The initial design of two-room Khrushchev 44 sq. M. m does not allow you to move the kitchen area to another place. But it can be visually expanded by removing the wall connecting to the room. In the free space, it is convenient to organize a small dining area and put a table with chairs or a narrow bar counter, which can accommodate 2 people.
As for the furniture, which, of course, is quite a lot for such a small area, it is better to give preference to a corner kitchen with built-in appliances (washing machine and refrigerator), using a wall adjacent to the bathroom.
Living room
The design of a two-room Khrushchev with a passage room has several convenient variations, the choice of which depends on who lives in the apartment. If this is a single person or a married couple, it may be worthwhile to think about demolishing the partitions between the rooms and converting them into one large studio apartment.
When such a huge space is opened and not constrained by any obstacles, it will be quite easy to highlight several convenient functional areas - screens, a large dining table, a living room with an angular sofa and a coffee table, a large bed with bedside tables, using screens, plasterboard or decorative partitions or simply furniture. , a small workplace.
If the owners do not want to part with the second room, or, for example, a separate children's room is needed, then the design of the two-room Khrushchev will look like this: a living room with a folding sofa and a dining area (or a coffee table) and a bedroom (children).
Bedroom
Of course, the layout of the second room will allow you to place in it only the most necessary minimum of furniture - a small built-in wardrobe, a bed, a bedside table and a small table for toiletries or a laptop. For compact storage, you can use shelves or built-in drawers in the bed frame.
If this is a children's room, then there is enough space for a bed, a wardrobe and a desk or computer desk. If two children live in the room, it is best to use modular furniture systems. It will be optimal to put a bunk bed, a closet at the wall opposite the window and a play or work area near the window. By the way, in the latter you can fix a long wide tabletop by using the window sill. So you provide your child with sufficient lighting for classes and save space for games.
Colors
Of course, the two-room Khrushchev’s design doesn’t end on redevelopment, especially since many do not even dare to start it, since this is a rather expensive process. But do not despair, and with the help of some interior tricks you can achieve the optimal convenient extended space. The first is, of course, color.
In a small apartment, it is worth using only light and pastel colors of walls, ceiling, floor, furniture. Bright accents can be made, but in small quantities and preferably on walls opposite to lighting. For example, you can highlight the head of the bed, facing the window, with bright murals or a chocolate-colored wall.
Furnishings
The design and size of the furniture greatly affects the design of a two-room apartment in Khrushchev and the congestion of space. Therefore, we remove all dimensional objects (cabinets, sofa) further from the light source (windows). It is better to use cabinets with mirrored or lacquered doors that visually expand the area. It is desirable to select furniture in light tones, as dark brown and black colors make the headsets more massive. But sofas or chairs can be put in bright colors.
As for storage, in Khrushchev it would be optimal to use numerous mezzanines, converting them into stylish hanging cabinets.
The ceilings
Give preference to monophonic light glossy stretch ceilings with a reflective surface and 3D prints that visually increase the height of the ceilings, for example, a blue sky with clouds. Another option is a two-level ceiling with a reflective surface. In this case, the LED lighting perfectly extended along the perimeter of the ceiling perfectly lengthens the room.
Lighting
Speaking of lighting. The successful design of the two-room Khrushchev simply can not do without high-quality bright lighting. With the help of well-designed fixtures, you can also change the emphasis in the apartment, highlighting the most important areas, hiding the flaws and visually expanding the area.
Partitions and walls
Another design trick when it comes to remodeling an apartment is sliding doors (like a sliding wardrobe) and sliding screens. With the help of such "nominal" walls you can create a single space at your convenience or hide it from your prying eyes, for example, a bedroom.
As you can see, with a competent approach, even from the smallest and most uncomfortable apartment, you can make a real design studio with a convenient and beautiful layout. And if you do not want to spend a large amount on its reconstruction, use the inexpensive design of a two-room Khrushchev with compact furniture, a play of light, color and the like. Have a good repair!
