Many owners of small-sized apartments, the so-called Khrushchev, are sure that it is almost impossible to create in a small dark room at the entrance something similar to a real entrance hall. We hasten to note that this is really difficult, but possible! The entrance hall in Khrushchev is usually a tiny room, at first glance completely inappropriate, cramped and uncomfortable. One gets the impression that it is created from continuous minuses. It's hard to believe, but with the help of some design techniques they can be hidden, making the hallway comfortable and maximally functional. Let's try to choose the option that suits you.
So, you are planning to make repairs in the hallway. In Khrushchev (photo can be viewed on this page), it must begin with the choice of the color of the walls, ceiling and floor. We offer you the best option for this type of room. Smooth, white, “varnish” ceiling (it seems taller and scatters light), walls in pastel colors (milk, beige, yellow, gray, light green). The floors should be two shades darker than the walls.
When choosing finishing materials, it is necessary to take into account that the entrance hall in Khrushchev excludes the use of wooden or plastic wall panels. Artificial stone, relief plaster, textured wallpaper, paint - these are the materials that are suitable for this room.
The most suitable flooring: ceramic tile, natural stone, oak board, laminate. Small halls in Khrushchev must be decorated in a minimalist style. In such a room, numerous shelves, vases, decorations will look inappropriate. Undoubtedly, an emphasis needs to be made, but a large number of details will create a sense of clutter.
If several people live in your apartment and many things are stored in the hallway, then you need a wardrobe. It is organized very rationally, therefore, it will help solve problems with storing everything you need. If the hallway in Khrushchev is so small that there is no question of installing such a cabinet, then use the corner version of small furniture. The advantage of this new type of furniture is that you can buy only the necessary modules, in addition, a spacious and compact corner cabinet will help to solve many problems with storage.
Good and proper lighting is necessary for such a complex room as a hallway in Khrushchev. Well, you need to consider the location of the light sources. It is better to place the brightest lamp near the mirror: you will clearly see all the details of your costume, and the light reflected from the mirror will illuminate the room additionally. The entrance hall in Khrushchev should not be cluttered with standard furniture. Even if such a kit fits in it, he certainly will not create coziness. For a hall of this type, it is better to use a set for small rooms, and even better to make it to order. Such furniture is usually shallow (40 cm, no more), without unnecessary decor, sharp corners, handles. It is desirable that the cabinet doors or shelves be sliding.
