Owners of apartments, the area of which does not differ by a sufficient amount of square meters, very often wonder about the possible redevelopment of their housing. A feature of apartments, which are popularly called Khrushchev, is a common problem in their small kitchen. It is not designed to accommodate several people in a room at the same time. Consider what are the proven methods for solving this problem.
An important factor in the issue of redevelopment is that most Khrushchev’s kitchens are surrounded by non-bearing partitions, which means that they are easily demolished. In addition, the widespread prevalence of the problem contributed to the creation of a huge number of design proposals both in the layout and in the design of furniture.
One of the most convenient and thoughtful solutions is to combine the kitchen with the living room. This option is especially suitable if the apartment is one-bedroom. If the kitchen is not gasified, then such a redevelopment with a high probability is easily coordinated.
It is possible to expand the area of the kitchen by attracting the adjacent pantry and the hallway of the room. The kitchen will leave its isolation from the living space, but will become a bit more spacious.
Significantly less often, the owners of Khrushchev decide to combine the bathroom with the toilet. In this case, the traditional bathtub is replaced by a small-sized shower and the partition moves over a considerable distance. Definitely, this allows you to add such desired extra square meters to the kitchen, but the discomfort of using the bathroom will be a compensation for this. In addition, far from always this method of redevelopment can be coordinated with the housing inspectorate.
If the possibility of combining the kitchen room with the living room is absent or this option does not suit, but at the same time there is no desire to combine the bathroom, we propose to consider simpler, but no less effective ways:
- Sliding doors - a design feature will allow you to remove the ever-open traditional door, which takes up extra space.
- Redo the windowsill in the countertop. An additional workspace eliminates the need for extra furniture.
- Colors - light walls and furniture contribute to a significant visual expansion of the room.
- Furniture set to the ceiling. The use of a single-row headset with a high height will maximize the involvement of idle space without occupying the extra floor surface.
In order to increase the kitchen area in Khrushchev, it is not at all necessary to adopt the method of redevelopment. Some design tricks will free up a significant amount of room space without demolishing the walls.
