The window between the bathroom and the kitchen, what to do with it?

This is a mysterious window, the purpose of which is still debated, but it is still fanned with legends, and to this day it is still unknown what the secret meaning of its existence is hidden. In modern houses it is not, but in apartments like Khrushchev it is everywhere and familiar.

There are many versions about the purpose of this mysterious window:

  • Ventilation in the event of a gas leak. Geysers were the only source of hot water, and there were problems with gas, but the window was dull, it did not open;
  • Salvation of a child who has closed in the bathroom. And in other houses, children do not seem to happen;
  • Saving electricity, the ability to wash during the day without turning on the light, or to turn off the light does not interfere with the hygiene of citizens. So the window was small, and a mysterious twilight reigned in the bathroom without electricity.

Theories have also been put forward, such as the opportunity to knock there and remind lovers for a long time to take a steam, that it is already their turn. Or another option - to avoid attacks of claustrophobia in the tiny rooms of the then baths.

One way or another, the window exists and something needs to be done with it during the repair.

Sometimes it is simply covered with brickwork and so solve the mysterious window once and for all. Practical and prosaic. Only here the wall there, as a rule, is very thin and fragile, and you will have to work very carefully so as not to spread out half the wall with the window. This is the curse of the pharaohs. Sometimes, instead of a window, a cabinet is placed there. It’s also practical. If the cabinet is strong enough and lightweight and do not store anything heavy in it. That's just the height is too big, the cabinet will be hard to reach.

As an option - just put a modern double-glazed window with the possibility of ventilation. In order not to destroy the secret, since the jester knows what it is for, this is a window, and practicality is also observed. Well, what if you really need to ventilate? Still, the bathroom, steam, heat and humidity. And sometimes children really close there.

If you still don’t need airing, but you still want a window, you can leave it simply deaf, without the ability to open, as it usually happens in Khrushchev, or you can decorate with stained glass, more comfortable. Draw on the stained glass window the heroes of fairy tales, for example. Or a haunted castle. Less artistic, but also decorative option - glass blocks, you can color. It will not be possible to peek, but it will turn out beautifully.srcset = " https://folksland.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mezhkomnatnoe-okno.jpg

Another option is not to close the window at all, but to change the shape, make it round, like a porthole. It will be more complicated and more expensive, but very stylish. And no longer will be reminded of any “relic”, it will be just a stylish and original, modern window. The window between the bathroom and the kitchen - why not?
