Khrushchev-era design 2 rooms without redevelopment are real. Is modern design possible in a two-room apartment in Khrushchev? What kind of old-style apartments are there?

During the time of Khrushchev, not very successful apartments were built in residential buildings. The areas are very small, the layout is not well thought out. The main task of those times was to provide each family with separate living space. As for the comfort of living, it was not included in the tasks at all. The advantage of such apartments is that they are easy to redesign, since load-bearing walls external, and internal walls are partitions that can be demolished or moved without reducing bearing capacity the entire building. Despite this, it is necessary to have a reconstruction project and coordination with the relevant organization. The fact is that any changes to the building's design must be registered.

Any change in the configuration of walls and partitions in an apartment is considered a redevelopment. As for load-bearing walls, they cannot be touched at all. If there are unloaded walls or partitions, then everything is not so serious, but it is necessary to draw up a project, after which it will have to be agreed upon, and only then can we begin to implement the plan.

At the same time, there are options for alterations that cannot be agreed upon under any circumstances:

Expanding the area of such premises as the kitchen, bathroom and toilet is possible only through technical premises. It is prohibited to place them above living rooms. In this case, you can reduce the area of the corridor, built-in closet, hallway, etc. Therefore, there are controversial options for some redevelopments. The photo below shows the disputed areas.

The fragment marked in red is practically located in the corridor, but BTI documents indicate that this is a living area. If you submit documents for redevelopment in this option, they will not be accepted. In order not to quarrel with the law, you must first install a partition that will fence off the corridor and in this form a project to increase the area of the bathroom is submitted.

When expanding the kitchen area, you cannot do:

Expand with a bathroom.
If the kitchen is expanded at the expense of the living space, plumbing fixtures and a stove cannot be installed in the kitchen.
If there is gas in the kitchen, then it cannot be combined with the living room.

This point can be circumvented if you install doors of any design, including sliding or accordion doors.

One-room Khrushchev house: redevelopment

Young families, as a rule, buy one-room apartments. A one-room Khrushchev apartment can easily be converted into a studio apartment, which is an excellent option for young people. In this case, get rid of the partitions separating the room and the kitchen, as well as the hallway.

In both cases, a room such as a bathroom remains untouched, since it cannot be moved if it is not the first floor.

The photo above shows that the redevelopment partially affected the bathroom, due to the movement of two walls a considerable distance. This is the wall facing the hall and the wall separating the hallway. Due to a slight increase in area, it was possible to place a washing machine. In small rooms there is always a lack of space when it is necessary to install modern household appliances. Although the hallway is not large, there is enough space in the room and you can install a dressing room.

Another photo shows another option for redevelopment of a 1-room Khrushchev house. This option is different in that it combines the kitchen and the hallway. The doors to the room are moved further from the entrance, which made it possible to make more optimal use of the living space. As a result of this design, there was space in the hallway for a chic built-in wardrobe. This did not affect the functionality of the kitchen, and its area increased by 0.2 square meters.

Recently, many residents have been practicing another way to increase their living space - combining loggias and balconies. But to do this, you need to carefully insulate the walls of balconies and loggias, and also install heating there. As a result, you can get another room with an optimal temperature, where you can place, for example, a study.

There is another redevelopment option one-room Khrushchev apartment, located in brick house. There are very small areas of the bathroom and kitchen, but the partitions are placed in a standard manner.

In this case, it is advisable to abandon the bath in favor of a shower. This will allow you to optimize the usable space in the bathroom by arranging the plumbing fixtures correctly and placing them there. washing machine. At the same time, one of the walls turns out to be beveled, and the area of the kitchen does not increase significantly, but increases, although the area of the hallway decreases somewhat.

The living space can be increased by expanding onto the balcony, insulating it appropriately. On the balcony you can install a wardrobe and a desk. Such redevelopment is quite relevant if the family consists of five people: 3 children and 2 adults. At the same time, it is advisable to install one bunk bed for children. In the next photo you can see a similar option for remodeling a residential apartment.

Unfortunately, not everyone likes having a studio apartment, just as not everyone appreciates a bathroom with a combined bath and toilet. Many people don’t like the lack of walls, when they can’t sit in the kitchen unnoticed by others, especially since this is true if you have children, and even in a one-room apartment.

In this case, redevelopment is carried out by moving partitions, depending on priorities. Side wall the hallway needs to be moved towards the room, and the front wall needs to be moved, almost close to the door to the bathroom. After such actions, the area of the hallway increases and now it becomes possible to install a built-in wardrobe and dressing room in the hallway.

Naturally, the area of the room is reduced, so you will have to compensate for the lack of space at the expense of the kitchen. Despite this, after moving the wall closer to the bathroom door, space was created for the refrigerator. As a result of this redevelopment, the dining part of the kitchen moved into the room. To optimize space, you should install sliding doors or accordion doors.

At the same time, the room received an L-shape, where you can install a partition to divide the room into an adult and a children's area. By the same principle, you can from studio apartment make a two-room apartment. It has serious significance if there are children.

There is another option for redevelopment of a 1-room apartment, but only with a different original layout. In this case, the alteration is minimal and comes down to installing a plasterboard partition. It is installed so that it occupies no more than half the space, so that lighting is available in the second part.

As an option, it is proposed to redevelop a corner one-room Khrushchev building into a studio apartment with a separate sleeping area. This part of the apartment can only fit a bed and a wardrobe, but there is one significant advantage: the bedroom turns out to be isolated.

Two-room Khrushchev house: remodeling

In the buildings of those years, there were much more two-room apartments than one-room apartments, but they had the same problems: small areas and ill-thought-out arrangement of rooms, with the presence of passage rooms. If you move the walls, most problems can be solved. For example, it is possible to separate adjacent rooms, after which you can turn a two-room apartment into a three-room apartment. To do this, it is enough to mount another partition that will separate the room from the corridor. As a result, additional usable space appears where you can place a dressing room and storage room. The second room thus obtained is longer and narrower, and is divided into two parts by means of a plasterboard partition.

The photo below shows the second option for unsuccessful planning of the living space of those times. Here, to get to the second room, you need to go through the first. The layout is so unfortunate that not only are the spaces small, but there are also dead zones that distort the functionality of the rooms. Sometimes, at the end of the second room there is a storage room that cannot be fully used.

After remodeling according to this option, the bathtub acquired square shape, and the hallway connected to the first room. In this case, it serves as a living room, from which the entrance to the kitchen is formed. The next, further room is divided into two bedrooms. The partition between the two bedrooms is mounted in such a way that there is space for small dressing rooms in one and the other bedrooms.

An ordinary two-room Khrushchev house in panel house, it is possible to turn a studio into an apartment by combining the living room and kitchen. The main task of such a rework is to shift entrance doors. Due to this, the large hallway will serve as a dressing room. At the same time, the toilet and bath are combined, and the kitchen and living room are combined due to a partially disassembled partition.

If desired, the second room can be divided into two parts using a plasterboard partition, which will separate the working and sleeping areas. In order for light to penetrate into the bedroom, it is enough to raise the partition to a height of no more than 1.5 meters.

Enough interesting option conversion of a 2-room apartment into a 3-room apartment. Here the hallway is slightly sloping, which made it possible to increase the area of the bathroom, and the partition that was installed between the kitchen and the room is partially removed. The second room is divided into 2 parts, the area of which is increased by a storage room and a closet. As a result, 2 bedrooms were formed, and since the apartment is corner, each of the bedrooms has its own window.

The corridor has taken on an interesting shape, since its walls are located diagonally. The result is a good option, although the functionality of the corridor is significantly reduced.

Three-room Khrushchev house: changing the arrangement of rooms

Khrushchev series 11-57.3.2 are distinguished by the very small size of the toilet and bathroom. Based on this, remodeling the apartment is simply necessary, given that the planet is already in the 3rd millennium and the presence of modern plumbing and household appliances indicate such a need. To optimize the living space, it is necessary to remove the partition between the bathroom and toilet. The part of the corridor adjacent to the bathroom is fenced off with a wall where the doors to the bathroom are located. The only problem is strengthening the waterproofing in this part where the corridor used to be.

The original layout did not allow for a cabinet. In a small section of the corridor, which went under the bathroom, there was a small closet, but its size is so small that it allows you to hide only small-sized things in it. Therefore, we have to move the wall of one of the bedrooms so that a wardrobe can fit into the free space.

To combine the kitchen and living room, you need to get rid of part of the wall. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the corresponding load-bearing walls and ceilings. Since the kitchen stove is gas, doors are needed. As an option, you can install sliding ones.

Another renovation option is also possible, allowing you to increase the area of the bathroom, as well as turn some room into a living-dining room, from which you can exit to the kitchen. At the same time, you need to create two bedrooms.

To do this, the walls between the bathroom and the toilet are removed, and part of the corridor is seized for the bathroom. Now the entrance to the kitchen will be from the living room; on the opposite side of the living room, the entrance to the second bedroom will be formed.

Regarding door block located in the second bedroom, it must be dismantled and the opening blocked.

The next redevelopment option is designed to increase the usable area of the bathroom and kitchen. As for the bathroom, it is expanded in the classic way: the partition between the bathtub and toilet is removed, and the wall is trimmed. The kitchen expands into the room. This solution allows you to create a place to relax, where you can install a sofa and TV.

It turns out that you can divide the walk-through rooms in this way. Although the area has decreased, they have become more functional. Dressing rooms can be placed in the vacated areas.

Four-room Khrushchev house: remodeling

This is such a poor layout that as the number of residential premises increases, the problems become more and more numerous. The presence, again, of a small kitchen and small bathroom, with walk-through rooms, aggravates the overall picture. The photo below shows one of the most ill-conceived options. Shown here is what it was like before the remodel.

Despite the fact that this apartment has a relatively large hallway, it (the hallway) is not fully used, and the existing normal corner is occupied by a storage room.

The problem is also related to the fact that there are seven doors leading into the hallway. A remodeling option is proposed, when all rooms are redesigned into the correct shape, such as a square. This approach makes it easier to use functionality apartments in general. Two rooms are used as a dining room and a living room, and two bedrooms remain untouched. Entrance to the enclosed dressing room from the hallway.

The bathtub and toilet remain not combined, but their area is increased due to the alignment of the walls. The area previously occupied by the corridor requires increased waterproofing.

Conclusion

Khrushchev's buildings have long outlived their usefulness not only from a technical point of view, but also from a moral point of view. Besides this, modern layout takes into account the shortcomings of the past and does not allow such miscalculations. Those who still live in Khrushchev are thinking every minute and every second how to quickly carry out renovations in order to get rid of these tiny kitchens, toilets and baths, as well as walk-through rooms, where the usable area of small rooms is not optimally used.

At the same time, it should be borne in mind that there is another problem, no less serious - the organization of the redevelopment project and its approval. Unfortunately, the bureaucrats do not want to meet the Khrushchev owners halfway. It is very difficult and troublesome to obtain such a solution, and even very expensive. In this regard, many apartment owners are improving their lives on their own and remodeling their apartments quietly. Under certain conditions, when you have to sell the apartment, you will also have to pay a fine for spontaneous redevelopment. If everything is done without violating the technology, then the passport for the apartment will be redone, of course for a fee.

But here lies another problem related to the fact that some apartment owners, when carrying out redevelopment, still violate the requirements and norms, which sometimes leads to bad consequences.

Based on this, we can conclude that it is advisable to coordinate any work with the relevant organizations and obtain permission for this, otherwise you may have to deal with the law, which will entail administrative or criminal liability.

It is quite simple to explain the limited living space of the Khrushchev buildings. In those days, the main task was to provide each family with separate living space, so small-sized “Khrushchev” apartments were a salvation. Of course, no one thought about convenience and comfort. However, redevelopment of the Khrushchev 2 room, which has a number of its own features, disadvantages and undeniable advantages, will solve the problem with convenience.

The main reason why most owners of small Khrushchev-era apartments decide to refurbish them is a feeling of discomfort from inconveniently located rooms and limited living space associated with the small area of the premises.

Benefits of refurbishment

All rooms expand and become spacious, making the interior seem as residential and warm as possible;
Most wall partitions are not load-bearing, and therefore the redevelopment of 2-room apartments is carried out quite quickly;
Thanks to the improved, updated layout, owners can fully express their imagination in arrangement and design, ultimately obtaining the most comfortable and stylish home.

The disadvantages of redevelopment manipulations are:

complex repair and design work is required related to the dismantling of old partitions, moving doorways and the construction of new walls on the territory of the apartment;
the space of one of the adjacent rooms is reduced due to separation;
refurbishment of a Khrushchev building requires considerable material costs for dismantling and design manipulations. However, when carrying out the work on your own, you will be able to save money;
Long-term construction work is expected, accompanied by an increased degree of pollution with debris and dust formations.

The placement of rooms in old Khrushchev-era apartments can have several options, so the methods for redeveloping Khrushchev-era 2 rooms can be completely different. To choose the most suitable option, you need to understand the features of the original home:

“Book” is a type of layout in which the area of the apartment is 41 square meters. meter, adjacent rooms. Perhaps the worst option;
"Tram" - area 48 sq. meters, again adjacent rooms, but they are separated much more painlessly;
“Mini-improved” - got its name because of the almost identical layout with apartments in 9-story buildings. Its area is 44.6 square meters. meters, the rooms are isolated, it’s only confusing small size kitchen space, which can be increased to 8 square meters if desired;
“Vest” is a rather rare type of layout with an area of 46 square meters. meters Here two rooms are located symmetrically, their sizes are quite large. The disadvantage of the layout is that if you increase the kitchen area, you will have to invade the room.

Coordination of redevelopment manipulations

Planning a two-room apartment in a “Khrushchev” is quite a fascinating and interesting process. However, it is worth thinking in advance about how to coordinate all future work with relevant authorities and obtain the necessary permits. The main thing is to make sure that repair manipulations do not relate to the concept of reconstruction, which implies the installation, replacement, relocation of utility networks, electrical, sanitary and other types of equipment. TO redevelopment The work includes changes to the configuration of living space. Any alterations should be included in the technical passport of the residential premises. If you don't do this, you may get a fine, and in the worst case scenario, you will also have to return everything to its place.

The redevelopment of a 2-room Khrushchev apartment is good because almost all the walls here are not load-bearing. That is why any manipulations with them are classified as “simple redevelopment”, therefore, adding all planned changes to the floor plan, which is taken from the BTI, will be sufficient.

Options for refurbishment of Khrushchev

Regardless of the type of upcoming manipulations of the redevelopment of the “Khrushchev” 2 rooms, three functional areas should be designated in any apartment:

kitchen;
sleeping;
guest.

Demolition of all walls

The most radical option is to demolish all wall partitions that are not load-bearing (except for the bathroom and toilet). The result is a studio apartment in which the zoning of areas is carried out using various design techniques and partitions.

We separate adjacent rooms of the Khrushchev building

Adjacent rooms cause a lot of inconvenience to their owners. However, there is a way out. These rooms are divided, reducing the usable area of one. There may be several options here:

The rooms are placed one after another - in this case, the space of the passage room is most often expanded by moving the partition deeper smallest area. Afterwards the reduced room is set up sleeping place with a bed, bedside tables and a small wardrobe. When using some simple tips designers even from such small area You can make a very cozy and warm room. And in the resulting large living room it will be convenient for groups to gather for a pleasant pastime;
The rooms are located along each other - here it is better to simply demolish the partition between the rooms, replacing it with columns, an arch or a screen. This type of layout is suitable for modern young couples. But for families with children, it is better to leave the partition in place, blocking the doorway. Then the smaller wall is moved deeper, thereby reducing the area of the two rooms. On the resulting wall, doorways are cut into each room. The result will be separate rooms with an extended corridor.

We combine the living room with the kitchen area

When redeveloping a 2-room apartment in a Khrushchev building, the living room is often combined with a kitchen area, where it is simply impossible to place all the necessary furniture and household items. By removing the wall, it turns out to free up several squares of usable space. And using methods of visual expansion of space and competent zoning techniques in the design, you will be able to create a truly convenient and functional design.

This type of redevelopment has undeniable advantages:

when combining this type, areas for cooking, relaxation and dining are easily allocated. These zones are delimited by finishing wall, floor and ceiling surfaces. It is possible to design mobile shelves, screens or curtains of various types;
the home turns out to be as functional as possible;
Such combined zones have high aesthetic values and are a modern trend in designer fashion.

Stylish and original is the way to delimit functional areas with a bar counter. If the kitchen has a balcony, then it is advisable to use it as additional useful space. To do this, you should insulate the balcony and trim it quality materials, after which it can be used either as a separate workplace, or place household appliances and dining accessories there.

We combine the bathroom area with the toilet

For each, the redevelopment of a 2-room “Khrushchev” apartment is selected individually. However, the opinion of experts should still be taken into account. Increase bathroom space you can combine it with the toilet. This refurbishment looks quite original, and it is also practical.

Thanks to this combination, it will be possible to gain a few meters of space on which you can place a washing machine and a laundry basket. At the same time load-bearing partitions remain in place, which is important when remodeling a two-room apartment in a Khrushchev building.

Place in the resulting room huge bath it won’t work, and if you replace it with a compact corner model or shower stall, there will be enough free space for movement.

Space zoning techniques

To achieve maximum comfort and style in your new apartment, you should use simple design zoning techniques.

First, you should choose suitable furniture for your living space. It is better to give preference to compact furniture items in the form of folding tables, transformable sofa beds, and wardrobes.

Secondly, finishing materials are carefully chosen. Light colors in decoration they allow you to visually expand the boundaries. The difference in textures will highlight functional areas. Accent colors will highlight your assets and highlight important items in the interior composition.

“Khrushchevka” for many is a very inconvenient small-sized dwelling. However, even such an apartment can be converted into modern multifunctional apartments, which will become a very warm and comfortable place to live.

“Khrushchevkas” are the first houses of mass construction with small-sized apartments, low ceilings and poor sound insulation. They were actively built from the 60s to the 90s of the last century throughout the country, and many Russian families at that time acquired their own housing for the first time.

Those who live in these today small apartments, for example, with an area of 43 sq. m, they are increasingly asking the question: how to create a design project for a two-room “Khrushchev” apartment? And what interior design ideas are there?

Layout features

“Khrushchevka” is easy to recognize among other apartments by its characteristic features, for example, wide double-leaf windows in the shape of a square. Or along small windows on the edge of the end panel in the kitchen.

What else distinguishes this type of apartment from the same “Stalin” apartments and other options:

Availability of a passage room.
Small kitchen - from 4-5 to 6 square meters. m.

Combined bathroom: toilet and bathroom are located in the same room. A Khrushchev-era bathroom is usually so small that it cannot accommodate a standard bathtub 150-180 cm long.
In Khrushchev's kitchens, housewives cooked on gas stoves.
Many apartments have a balcony and a storage room, the latter is no different in size from ordinary room in houses of this type. There are no balconies only in apartments that are located on the first floor of the building.

If we talk about the house in general terms, it has centralized heating, there is no garbage chute and there is no elevator. Such buildings usually have 5 or 7 floors, less often - 9 or 3-4. According to the layout, all apartments in the Khrushchev block face one side, except for the corner ones - their windows face reverse side overlooking the courtyard.

“Khrushchev”, from a planning point of view, has advantages and disadvantages, but it is impossible to judge them objectively.

Among the advantages of such apartments are noted:

Availability of a balcony and storage room.
Typical layout: small corridor and kitchen, two approximately identical rooms.
A passage room that often borders the kitchen and leads to a second room.
The shared bathroom is another plus. It saves space in the apartment.

The disadvantages of the “Khrushchev” apartment include:

low sound insulation or too thin walls;
low ceilings - only 2.55 meters (some buildings have ceilings of 2.70 meters);
a cramped hallway or its literal absence;
small area of the apartment as a whole: a standard two-room apartment in a Khrushchev building has an area of no more than 43, 44, 46 square meters;

small area of the room - bedroom or nursery;
lack of a balcony on the ground floor - there are practically no “Khrushchev” buildings with a loggia on the ground floor;
walk-through kitchen, which combines with the living room and is so small that all the equipment can fit on it gas stove and a short tabletop.

“Khrushchevka” can be located in a brick or large-panel house.

“Kopeck apartments” may differ slightly in area and layout:

"Book" they call a Khrushchev house with rooms in a row - a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom and a total area of 42-43 square meters. m.
"Tram"– a two-room apartment with an area of almost 47 sq. m and adjoining rooms, one of which is corner.

"Improved"– a layout without a walk-through room, a separate bathroom and a tiny kitchen. The total area of such an apartment is usually 43-45 square meters. meters.
"Butterfly"– an apartment with a kitchen in the middle and two rooms at its edges. The area of such a “Khrushchev” building is usually 46 square meters. meters. It has a separate bathroom almost in the kitchen.

The “book” layout is good because it has adjacent rooms that can easily be combined into one or the entire apartment - into a full-fledged studio. However, the disadvantage of this layout is that no matter what the redevelopment is, one of the rooms will remain a walk-through room. Only if you don’t put up a partition and create a corridor leading to the next room.

Regardless of the “original” layout, the “Khrushchev” can be changed and made functional - to combine rooms or increase the space of one of them.

Redevelopment options

The great advantage of a “Khrushchev” apartment is that it is easy to redesign: “move” walls or combine rooms to create more space. At least visually. Internal walls or the partitions in the “Khrushchev” are not load-bearing, which means they can be removed and the space of the room can be changed in agreement with government agencies.

Redevelopment of a Khrushchev building begins not only with the owner’s desire to remodel it, but also with obtaining permission for this procedure from the state. It is easy to obtain, provided that the living rooms and kitchen remain in their places, only the location of the walls themselves will change. Once the state gives the go-ahead to change the configuration of the space, we can begin.

Option #1

All Khrushchev apartments have small kitchens and bathrooms. One of the solutions that redevelopment can provide is increasing the kitchen area. Owners often remove the wall between the kitchen and next room(usually it is a walk-through) and create modern kitchen-living rooms.

Classic “Khrushchev” kitchen 5 sq. m becomes a spacious living room with a cooking area with a total area of up to 23 square meters, if the walk-through room is completely given over to the hall.

Such an apartment can be called a euro-“one-room apartment”: housing with an isolated full bedroom and a spacious kitchen-living room. The resulting “one-room apartment” is attractive because it becomes more spacious - the “extra” wall disappears, and additional space is freed up for furniture.

Option No. 2

A modest two-room apartment can be turned into a full-fledged studio if you completely remove internal partitions. With the exception of the bathroom - bath and toilet, these two rooms need insulation.

A modern studio can be zoned– divide into functional zones using partitions or cosmetic repairs. Owners often use these two combinations: they create artificial thin walls between the sleeping area and the relaxation area - the living room. They “play” with the shade of the walls and the material of the floor: they lay tiles in the hallway and kitchen, and laminate in the living room and bedroom. This technique not only divides the space, but also visually expands it.

A studio apartment is suitable for a young family without children or a couple who prefer one large area together with small but isolated rooms. However, such a redevelopment is not suitable for a family with at least one child.

Option #3

The next option for redevelopment of the Khrushchev-era building involves moving the walls and preserving 2 isolated rooms. For example, you can expand the kitchen area from 5 square meters to 15 square meters (more or less, depending on the area of the apartment and the location of the rooms). To do this, you will have to demolish the existing wall and build a new one in a new place, moving its boundaries.

Option No. 4

The “improved” layout of a 2-room “Khrushchev” apartment can be made even more functional if you combine the kitchen with a walk-through room and divide the larger room in half. This redevelopment is suitable for a family with one child who likes to receive guests. And those will have a place to stay - in a spacious hall with a dining table.

Zoning

Regardless of how large-scale the redevelopment was in the “Khrushchev”, it is still possible and necessary to use zoning techniques.

Zoning the kitchen-living room

If the walk-through room and the kitchen have become a single space, it’s time to divide it – visually. In the cooking area, equip a classic kitchen. If the width of the wall along which the cooking area will be located is not enough, extend it to a perpendicular wall and place it in a counter.

Thus, the rack will divide two functional areas both visually and in reality.

If the area of the kitchen-living room remains small even after planning, a tabletop can be replaced with a full-fledged dining table. You can separate the cooking area from the living room with a sofa if you install it with its back against the wall along which the countertop with oven and stove runs. Or place a thin partition made of metal, glass, or wood between them. Install a shelving unit with shelves up to the ceiling. Or you can abandon this idea altogether and visually divide the kitchen-living room with color and texture finishing materials.

Good decision– place in the cooking area floor tiles , in the living room - laminate or parquet. The texture of the floor will already divide the two combined rooms, even if the color of the walls in them is not different.

Living room zoning

If during the redevelopment of the “Khrushchev” building the number of rooms remained the same, and it was decided to give one of them as a living room-bedroom, then zoning cannot be avoided. Let’s say a family with children lives in such an apartment; the children were given a larger room, and the parents settled in the living room.

One solution is to divide the room with a thin partition., “hide” the double bed from prying eyes in the back of the room, near the window. Place a small sofa in the area closer to the door and dressing table, TV and storage items should be hung on the wall, thereby maintaining free space for movement.

To get even more space in a Khrushchev apartment, you can choose a folding sofa instead of a bed and leave the room unchanged. During the day it will be a living room and receive guests; at night it will become a full-fledged bedroom with a disassembled sofa instead of a bed.

If parents are not ready to sacrifice a full bed in the name of preserving free space, they will especially like the following solution. In a small bedroom-living room you can install a folding bed, which during the day is “retracted” into the wall bed, and in the evening “reclines” and forms a full-fledged sleeping place.

Popular styles

Choosing an interior design for a small-sized Khrushchev apartment is another headache for the owner.

Hi-tech

Modern interior solution, which is based on technological innovation, high functionality and prestige in the current interpretation. High-tech is characterized by plastic, glass and metal in furniture and decoration materials. If we talk about colors, they are calm, muted and monochromatic - white, black, all shades of beige and gray.

This interior style uses suspended ceiling, but in a “Khrushchev” it may be inappropriate - the ceilings in the apartment are already low, and such a design will make them even lower.

Special attention It’s better to focus on the walls. Turn one of them into an accent one: decorate it with plastic, wood, stone or other panels. The accent will be created by contrasting wallpapers, but not colorful ones - they are of no use in high-tech.

Scandinavian

Remember the Ikea store with rational and, at first glance, simple options furnishings. This is it Scandinavian style. It is distinguished by its environmental friendliness - furniture and finishing materials, practicality - many hanging and multifunctional structures for storage.

The Scandinavian interior is dominated by light shades - white and beige, gray and brown. The emphasis is often on details – textiles and accessories.

Empire style

Luxurious style in the interior, which is characterized by large areas of both rooms, windows, doors, and high ceilings. Empire style is unlikely to be suitable for decorating a “Khrushchev” building, but some of its elements can be introduced into the decoration of your home. For example, ornaments: in furniture upholstery or on kitchen facades, in textiles or on a wall, but only one. An accent wall with royal-style patterns will be appropriate in a classic interior, which we will talk about later.

Classical

Classics are appropriate for “Khrushchev” - laconic furniture made of wood with elements natural stone, discreet shades and textiles in a single range. A classic interior is not only beautiful, but also practical.

IN small bedroom or the corridor of a “Khrushchev” building you can install tall cabinets– up to the ceiling, with facades in the color of the walls. They will not overload the already cramped space and will accommodate the maximum possible. If we talk about the color of furniture facades, give preference to light shades - beige, white, light brown, gray, olive color. Dark colors save for details - frames, chair frames and small bookcase or a rack, if there is room for it.

A true classic interior is characterized by stucco. But in “Khrushchev” buildings it is unlikely to be appropriate. Maximum – ceiling plinth and provided that the ceiling in the house is at least 2.70 m.

Country

It is dominated by natural shades - brown, green, olive, yellow.

It could be something like this French Provence with aged furniture or the American direction - comfortable furniture, an abundance of natural materials in the decoration.

Room decoration

The standard design of rooms in a Khrushchev building is a European renovation with functional cabinet furniture. Regardless of whether it is an economy class renovation or an expensive designer one, it is easy to make a small apartment stylish - just choose the same style for all rooms in the house.

Kitchen. In a standard “Khrushchev” kitchen, 5-6 square meters will only fit kitchen set. To make it even more functional, choose wall cabinets that go up to the ceiling - they will fit more dishes and kitchen utensils.

If the kitchen and living room occupy one room, then this is a great opportunity to make the interior even more stylish. The first rule is a single style and a single color scheme for the room. Light shades of walls and furniture will visually make it more spacious and lighter, and will be especially useful if the ceilings in the house are low - 2.55 m.

Provence is especially suitable for a modest kitchen-living room - rustic style with abundance wooden elements. Light wooden facades kitchens can match the dining table in shade and material. The contrast will be created by the overall luxurious chandelier, stonework in the cooking area and checkered textiles.

Bedroom. The square footage of an ordinary “Khrushchev” bedroom can vary - from 8-9 to 19 square meters. m. If the room is small but isolated, it is worth placing a full bed in it. A good night's sleep is more important than any interior madness, so give preference to a bed instead of a sofa.

Storage space can be organized along one of the walls or in a niche of the room - install a wardrobe up to the ceiling. Even in a modest bedroom of 9 square meters there is room for a double bed and a closet covering the entire wall. The dressing table can be replaced with a functional headboard or cabinet hanging shelves above the head or on the sides.

Children's room. The largest room is usually reserved for it. To save free space in the nursery, do not neglect wall cabinets– they are convenient for storing things that are used infrequently.

A mandatory element of a child’s room is a bed: a full-size one, a design bed or an ottoman. And a wardrobe, preferably a wardrobe, so that the child can find his things on his own. For the nursery, choose calm shades, leaving bright ones for accents - interior details or toys.

If two children are accommodated in one room, then choose bunk bed: it will save space for games and activities, and maybe other furniture - desk, rack for books and toys.

Often, repairs and redevelopment in “Khrushchev” buildings begin at the moment when it becomes impossible to live in the apartment: communications, floors and walls are worn out. The latter may not be able to withstand cosmetic repairs, and the idea of redevelopment arises.

Don't be afraid of redevelopment. It will allow you to increase the space of the corridor or bathroom if you sacrifice 2-3 square meters of another part of the apartment - one of the living rooms or the kitchen. With the help of redevelopment, it is easy to enlarge the kitchen if you combine it with a walk-through room. Or keep two isolated rooms, but reduce the area of one of them for the sake of the kitchen.

Developing a beautiful design for a 2-room Khrushchev house is not an easy task. We are talking about a Khrushchev building with a walk-through room, which was still built in Soviet times, where it’s so easy to do without redevelopment. Therefore, in this article we will look at design projects for Khrushchev 2 rooms. Let's determine exactly how to distribute everything free space in order to achieve maximum beautiful design housing.

Reconstruction rules

By changing the layout of the Khrushchev building, you settle down purely according to your personal preferences. Nevertheless, the design of a two-room Khrushchev apartment implies compliance with certain rules:

during the planning process, do not engage in cleaning, thereby compromising the integrity of certain structures or objects;
tread carefully near ventilation, as damage to it will be costly;
To move the stove, you need a gas man who can cut off access to gas. It is not recommended to take any action on your own;
Changing the position of the toilet will not work, so do not try to create new problems with the pipeline;

Perhaps the current design of a two-room Khrushchev apartment does not quite suit you. But you have the opportunity to change this by starting with drawing up a plan for reconstruction. This approach will help achieve visual expansion and a diligent appearance. You can apply different design ideas to achieve the best result. Different styles interior design can be incorporated into the redevelopment. But sometimes you have to make small adjustments to benefit the space.

Styles such as art-edgy, Provence, hi-tech, minimalism and Scandinavian style will look great. But before you choose one style or another, focus on the only important goal - to achieve practicality and functionality of the space.

Some owners of two-room Khrushchev apartments, unfortunately, cannot always change the layout of the room. Nevertheless, it is worth paying attention to the above listed styles and choosing alternative option landscaping. In other cases, if possible, you can practice combining different rooms in order to achieve maximum convenience and comfort. The most important thing is to have patience and imagination. Because this is your home, and you decide exactly how it should look.

Cunning at the designer level

With a small area, the main role in the visual expansion of space is played by the competent choice of color, correct selection drawings and wall decoration. Experienced interior design professionals advise using the following effective methods:

Don't use it too much bright colors in painting walls or choosing furniture. Instead, it is better to give preference to pastel colors, which visually expand the room and do not irritate with their tones;
The larger the wall art, the smaller the room appears;
It is better to paint the ceiling in colors close to white;
Various wall structures do a good job of increasing space. For example, a suspended ceiling or various other plasterboard structures;

The floor can be covered with material in color in accordance with the overall interior of the room;
When it comes to choosing furniture, it's important to focus on minimalism. Because an overloaded room with different furniture does not give a feeling of comfort. Sliding sofas, folding tables and compact furniture are perfect for a small apartment;
Photo wallpapers are no longer as fashionable as they once were. But as they say, classics never get old. By choosing the appropriate pattern, you can achieve incredible lightness and attractiveness of the room;
Bare windows do not exactly decorate the interior of an apartment in Khrushchev. But large curtains will significantly reduce the free space. Moreover, it is worth considering the shades of curtains, because dark, cold colors are too crowding.

Each style in order

Minimalism. Registration home interior requires additional decorative elements, which, naturally, can take up a lot of space. The minimalist style implies minimal use of objects and maximum improvement. For a two-room Khrushchev house, this approach is just right. In this style choose light color scheme, which has a positive effect on the human psyche and can visually increase the area of the room. White, beige and blue colors are great.

It often happens that you have to work from home. For such a case, professional designers advise combining the kitchen, living room and hallway, and leaving the bedroom alone. You are creating a kind of home office, but only with full conditions. Having combined all the rooms into one, take the trouble to protect each with different types of limiters. For example, it is better to protect the workplace near the table transparent partition. Next you need to mark the kitchen area and the hallway. In a small room you can relax and organize your wardrobe.

As for the toilet with bathtub, there are also innovations here. It all starts with replacing the bathtub with a shower stall. Next, install a small washing machine. If space allows, you can install a small cabinet in the bathroom. In general, the entire apartment becomes more spacious when massive partitions are removed and something light and small-sized is used instead.

Scandinavian. All non-functional, and in other words, unnecessary elements are removed. The space remains open, well lit and ventilated. The colors chosen are soft, pastel. This choice will go well with textiles, decorative elements and other accessories. Furniture should be wooden and closed. Natural materials are used for cladding the ceiling. Materials such as brick, stone, ceramic tiles, and metal are used for walls. Skins, blankets and carpets will increase the level of comfort in the room.

Hi-tech. The room is decorated with decorative elements made of glass, metal or plastic. For walls, you can use paint or wallpaper. The upper wall can be designed as a glossy stretch ceiling. A glossy or porcelain stoneware coating is suitable for the floor. The color scheme consists of white, black and gray colors (there may be lighter options as a complementary color). Furniture should be of strict forms.

Complementary items made of metal, plastic or glass. For example, a glass table or shelf; plastic or metal chairs. In the role of consecration, built-in devices are considered practical. It is worth minimizing the decor, but you can increase the number of household appliances.

Provence. The color palette can contain rich shades, but you should avoid too bright colors. For example, white, milky, beige, etc. are perfect. The main thing is that the colors are muted and restrained. Particularly appreciated in the interior of the room natural light. The walls are painted purely in white, but in some cases you can get by with light wallpaper.

The floor is covered with flooring or wooden boards. Ceramic tiles are also suitable. The ceiling is not cluttered with tension structures. You just need to paint it. It is preferable to choose old furniture or at least artificially age it. Curtains and curtains are selected from light fabrics.

Art Deco. There are bright shades here: sapphire, purple, emerald, etc. In addition to the main color, there are complementary colors - gold, blue, black and gray. One subject or area must be emphasized. For example, it could be furniture or a wall painted in bright contrasts. Regarding decorative elements, they can be made of bronze, leather, stones, crystals, etc. Materials. Pillows, mirrors and various souvenirs also serve as room decoration items.

Design examples

Bedroom. There are certain principles for decorating a bedroom. Perhaps it’s better to start with choosing furniture. You can choose a small wardrobe or chest of drawers. A dressing table with a mirror on it is required. We also choose a small bed. To save as much space as possible, you can purchase a bed with built-in drawers.

It is worth using as consecration various options lamps. Choose curtains from lightweight material and lighter shades. In general, you should use only three shades for the entire bedroom. Naturally, if you want to visually expand it, switch to light colors.

Bathroom In any case, the toilet and bath will be together. Therefore, to save space, it is better to use multifunctional but small-sized furniture in the bathroom. For example, wall cabinets and shelves. Perfect fit corner bath or shower.

Living room. It is better to use light curtains in both the bedroom and living room. We decorate the ceiling and walls in pale or light colors. For visual expansion they give an excellent effect suspended ceilings. The furniture chosen is functional, but small. There is no need for large sofas or bulky chairs.

Changing your home interior without drastic measures

If redevelopment of the apartment is practically impossible, you can get by with other more modern methods. Instead of moving the borders of the walls, use ready-made solutions elegant design two-room apartment. Just go to Google, make a specific request, and you will get a lot of solutions for your apartment. The options are endless, but we'll focus on the basic methods. Since the living space of the Khrushchev building is very small, the initial goal is to increase the volume of the premises. Visual enlargement can be accomplished in several ways:

Important Details

In Soviet times, basic standards for changing layouts were developed, which were approved by the authorities. Today you can take the previous tenants of the apartment as a guide, or develop your own layout plan. This plan includes the following:

Well-thought-out electrical wiring diagram;
The total number of sockets and their location;
Footage of rooms and wall thickness;
The location of the water pipes should be taken into account;

This work can be done either with the help of individual specialists (electrician, plumber), or using the services of a specific company that can organize a comprehensive analysis of the entire living space.

How is redevelopment used?

If you are the owner small apartment, try combining the nearest room with the kitchen. To do this, you will need to demolish the partition between the two rooms, and then start zoning the space. This is necessary in order to provide three different rooms - kitchen, living room and bedroom. There are certain rules for zoning:

If you have a family, then you will need a separate area for each member;
So, as you combine two different rooms, each of them should be fenced. For example, it is better to cover the kitchen with tiles and the living room with parquet.
Additional guardrails may and will be needed from time to time. But they shouldn't be too bulky. Lightweight and removable partitions are mainly used;

Naturally, you will have to somehow separate the kitchen from the living room. To do this, you can use a sofa, multi-level shelves and any other similar structures. Also, sanctification fulfills the role of limiters well.

It is quite difficult to create stylish interior design for rooms with limited space, combining beauty and functionality. You will need to carefully design the design of 2-room Khrushchev apartments to achieve the desired result. The main disadvantage of the home is the inconvenient layout with broken room geometry. Standard options are often not suitable for comfortable living. The optimal solution in this case would be repair and redevelopment.

Modern design techniques, presented in the photo, allow you to create stylish and cozy interiors. In a two-room apartment building in Khrushchev it is important to take into account the area and geometry. Layout, popularly called “book” with a total area of 42 square meters, has a plan with residential adjacent rooms with one passage, is considered the most unsuccessful. The rooms in the tram arrangement are also adjacent, but are more convenient for separation.

The layout of the Khrushchev apartments in a nine-story building of 44 square meters is distinguished by an improved placement of rooms, but minimum dimensions kitchens will require drastic measures and a plan to expand the space. A layout project with a symmetrical arrangement of rooms with an area of 45 square meters with a small kitchen in the center is called a “butterfly” or “vest”.

Despite the comfortable isolation of the living space, the presented diagram and project confirm the need to enlarge the kitchen. Selling small-sized housing with a non-standard two-room layout is not the only way out of the situation.

Redevelopment methods

There are several basic subtleties of radical redevelopment, as in the photo during renovation, which will help make your home stylish and comfortable:

expanding the kitchen or living room by moving the bedroom partition will allow you to separate the recreation area, increasing the space of other rooms. In this case, only a bed, chest of drawers, or bedside tables are installed in the bedroom. The main furniture, the dining area, is transferred to the living room;
ideas for turning a balcony, loggia into a separate room, or combining them with a living space will require the installation of a new one quality window, insulation of external surfaces. This economical plan will allow you to carry out repairs, after receiving several meters of space, and the sale will be canceled due to a lack of usable space;
creating a combined bathroom in an apartment of 45 square meters will increase workspace, allowing you to place a full-fledged washing machine, a boiler, and the necessary plumbing in the bathroom, while preserving the load-bearing partitions. The option is quite expensive and labor-intensive due to the redevelopment of the water supply system, replacement of pipes and sewerage.

Choice suitable option redevelopment should be based primarily on the features of the geometry and location of the rooms.

It is important to take into account personal preferences and the functional load of the interior. It is not at all necessary to sell a Khrushchev-era apartment, if there are a huge number of options for changing the layout.

Original stylistic solutions

The choice of stylistic solution for a two-room Khrushchev apartment, despite the complexity of the design, is quite large. There are a huge number of styles suitable for non-standard premises, the area of which is limited. Particularly popular for a standard area of 45 square meters is modern design in the style of modern, hi-tech, minimalism. For lovers of oriental motifs, the Japanese style is suitable, for admirers of antiquity and classics - Provence, retro, or country.

Each style has its own characteristics and subtleties of design. Modern design is characterized by laconicism, strict lines, and the absence of unnecessary details. The result is a bright, spacious room. Japanese style will allow you to perform zoning using original accessories with oriental notes. Cozy design options in retro style, Provence, will create a homely, warm atmosphere in the “vest” layout.

Space zoning methods

Zoning rooms in Khrushchev apartments is a prerequisite for creating a functional interior. The organization of space can be done using visual effects, or a project for radical changes to the layout as in the photo. The play of color and light is widely used as a visual expansion of space, unobtrusively, subtly highlighting the necessary areas. Furniture items can also be an advantageous zoning method. Bar counters and bookshelves will practically divide the floor plan according to their functional purpose.

Dramatic changes in the arrangement of rooms, or when creating a single interior of 43 square meters, will require careful consideration of smooth transitions, load-bearing partitions, and methods of demarcation at the renovation stage. A two-room premium class studio apartment, in contrast to the walk-through layout, looks more harmonious with the use of arched openings, decorative partitions. Design elements, accessories, and living plants are also used for visual differentiation. The size and location of the zones directly depend on the personal preferences and needs of the residents, due to which the sale of housing is cancelled.

Optimal furnishing options

Proper furnishing of a two-room Khrushchev apartment will ensure comfortable living, making the furnishing plan more functional. The color and shape of the furniture should be in harmony with the overall stylistic idea of the interior, corresponding to the color scheme of the decoration. Proven tips are based on basic stylistic techniques:

Elements should be selected taking into account ease of cleaning.

Subtleties of surface design in small rooms

Finishing and design of surfaces will help not only decorate the interior, but also create the desired effect of expanding the space. The contrasting design of a white ceiling with a slight gloss and a dark floor will become optimal solution for a small living space of 44 square meters. Raising the floor, or a combination various materials The design and division of the room into zones are organically emphasized.

Plan finishing works on the surface of the wall it is better to do it starting from the ceiling itself, which will create a visual impression of the height of the plane.

Stones, liquid wallpaper, textured plaster, and stucco are used as finishing materials to decorate load-bearing walls. Selling modern textures and color variations of wallpaper makes it easy to create a beautiful design. Despite the low ceilings and non-standard floor plan, it is allowed to use tension and plasterboard ceiling structures. Organic transitions of multi-level options will help in zoning even a walk-through room. During DIY repairs, it is especially important to consider the practicality and quality of finishing materials.

Color variations

White color will undoubtedly act as an ideal basis for further decoration, visually expanding the space, creating the effect of comfort and cleanliness. Making the wall in a color that imitates the texture and tone will help bring a touch of warmth and naturalness. natural wood. The choice is especially relevant for eco-interiors.

The limited size of the Khrushchev-era kitchen does not allow it to be equipped with a full-fledged dining area. Can be applied contrasting combination yellow and purple paints in the living room, in the location area dining table, chairs, doing the design yourself. Wallpaper with a small floral print or geographical pattern on the surface of the wall will have a positive effect on the perception of space, helping to make it wider and more spacious.

The technique of decorating one wall in contrasting or bright colors is effectively used. vertical stripe photo. Thus, you can highlight one of the zones, or visually delimit the space. Conciseness and simplicity should prevail in paints. It is recommended to choose three main interior colors, and then use a play of their shades for decoration. The color of the furniture should be organically combined with the overall design.

Correct lighting

Proper lighting in small apartment spaces, as in the photo, can act not only as a light source, but also as an original decorative element. It is important to consider the amount of natural light, supplementing the design with standard recommendations if necessary. The sale of built-in lamps will allow you to choose the best option for central lighting, design of niches, arches and partitions.

A central chandelier on the ceiling will look out of place and will make it lower; a replacement could be a lighting fixture pressed as closely as possible to the surface.

Additional lighting sources will include sconces, floor lamps, original table lamps. A rather practical idea is to use the light flux to organically delimit zones, highlight a design area, part of a walk-through wall, or to highlight a stylish accessory. It is also beneficial to use lighting along the entire perimeter of the ceiling, filling the space with enough light to create a comfortable and cozy environment.

Design techniques for increasing space

Bulky carpets, bedspreads, heavy textiles on the windows, rugs, pillows and souvenirs will create the effect of clutter, reducing the already small space. You should also not allow small objects to be reflected in mirrored surfaces, which will visually multiply their number.

Light weightless fabrics in minimal quantities will add airy weightlessness to the space. Bright accents can be a few pillows, napkins, or towels in the kitchen. It is better to use photo frames and souvenirs in minimal quantities, giving preference to paintings made in the style of the interior. If there is enough large quantity books, you can arrange hanging shelves. Wrapping books with paper in calm tones will help eliminate excessive variegation.

The principle of creating a comfortable environment for a two-room Khrushchev apartment is a minimum of items that do not carry a functional load. It is important to think about spacious, compact and ergonomic furniture storage systems at the renovation stage. Correct application of techniques will help create a beautiful and cozy interior design even in a small home area.
