By the time Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev came to government, the housing issue was acute, especially in big cities. It was the lack of housing and a large number of communal apartments that made the vast country look like an anthill, where several people per square meter of living space. The issue should have been resolved quickly and without delay.
The advent of the project of apartment buildings with small apartments solved this problem. By the way, these houses were popularly nicknamed "Khrushchev" in honor of the head of state. But time passes quickly, and it is this type of housing that is outdated today. The norms and requirements of our time have changed the attitude to the size of apartments. In the first place came the indicator of comfort, which implies not only the number of meters, but also the quality of the services provided.
The appearance of modern household appliances and their presence in apartments has created a problem in houses of this type. There was nowhere to put them in small kitchens . A washing machine, gas stove, dining table and other attributes of the kitchen simply did not intervene in a small area. When planning repairs in the kitchen-Khrushchev, it is advisable to pre-make all the necessary calculations.
Of course, there is no problem facing today. Here you can use a fairly large assortment of finishing materials. Fortunately, the modern building materials market offers them in large quantities. But in terms of design, and especially the use of the area, there are many problems.
What do experts offer today when they begin to carry out repairs in the kitchen-Khrushchev? First of all, attention is paid to the color scheme, which is used in the decoration of walls and ceilings. Everyone has long known that color, if used correctly, can help to visually resize a room. Light colors expand the room. But masters prefer to use white color seldom. It is he who brings objects closer, which negatively affects the size of the kitchen.
Of particular importance, when repairs are made in the kitchen-Khrushchev, it is given to the alignment of the walls. In those distant times when these houses were being built, a similar indicator remained in the last places, so the walls in the Khrushchevs are not smooth enough. And it will be necessary to level out, because the countertops and shelves installed near the walls will not fit snugly against the walls, creating cracks.
Today, designers offer various ways to solve the problems of a small kitchen. For example, instead of a dining table, you can install a special cabinet along the wall, which has a lifting tabletop. Remember the table in the compartment of a passenger train. And there are a lot of such nuances. That is, repairs in the kitchen-Khrushchev can be carried out without unnecessary costs, but at the same time ensure the safety of the functionality of this room.
All the same problems are expected when they make repairs in the bathroom; Khrushchev, even in this room, has not changed its traditions. It also does not differ in large dimensions, so all the rules and tricks of the repair remain, as with the repair of the kitchen. This is especially true for all pipes, both water and sewer, which are cleaned into the walls. This frees up usable space.
Many of us at one time lived in hostels, which even now have not changed in terms of the size of the rooms. To carry out repairs in a dormitory room is the same as repairing rooms in a small apartment. It uses the same techniques and methods. The most important thing is to choose the right design to visually expand the room. In addition, furniture will play an important role here. For example, a bunk bed will be very helpful. Or a wardrobe, where you can place a fairly large number of clothes. Using such tricks, you can safely change the functional characteristics of the dorm room.
