Top 5 ideas for remodeling a 2 room apartment in Khrushchev

Despite the massive multi-storey buildings, in Russian cities there are many houses with apartments, which are popularly called "Khrushchev". Two-room "Khrushchev" are small in size, low ceilings and poor sound insulation. In most of these apartments there are too small kitchens - from 4 to 6 sq.m., walk-through rooms and combined bathrooms. For many years they have been huddled in small-sized cars, not trying to change something. Optimists who value freedom and experiment, are trying to change living conditions even in the antediluvian "Khrushchev". They are helped by several options for redevelopment of this type of apartment.

Option 1

If desired, a wonderful Euro-odnushka can be made out of a two-room “Khrushchev”. All that is needed is to remove the wall between the kitchen and the passage room. The result is a cooking zone + dining room, smoothly transitioning into the living room.

The area of ​​the premises is more than 20 sq.m Free space can be zoned as you wish. In addition, the apartment will remain an isolated room in which you can equip a bedroom.

Option 2

"Khrushchev" easily turns into a large studio, if you remove all the internal partitions with the exception of the bathroom. Free space is a real fantasy flight that everyone can use depending on their preferences. You can, for example, separate the rest area from the bedroom with a thin partition or choose different flooring options for different zones. This option is more suitable for childless couples: the child still needs an isolated space.

Option 3

Suitable for those who want to keep two separate rooms, but to expand the kitchen a little. In this case, it will be necessary to demolish one wall and erect it in a new place. The size of the kitchen can be almost tripled: from five to fifteen square meters.

Option 4

In the improved version of "Khrushchev", it makes sense to combine the kitchen with the entrance room, and then divide the larger room in half. Guests can gather at the spacious dining table, while the child can relax in another isolated room.

Option 5

To make the kitchen more spacious, you can demolish the load-bearing partition and combine it with the balcony. But to do any work on the redevelopment is necessary only after obtaining the necessary permits. Otherwise, you may run into big trouble.
