Kitchen design in hruschevke

Inconvenience caused by a small kitchen space, familiar to many people in Russia - close the kitchen were a reminder of the Soviet era and is often referred to as the "Khrushchev". Usually it is - 5-6 sq. meters of space with low ceilings and misconfigurations. These features make the design of the kitchen in the Khrushchev problematic, but professional designers architectural "masterpieces" are not afraid.
The owners of these apartments are often hesitant to make repairs and redevelopment, combining the kitchen with an adjacent bathroom or winning additional meters at the expense of reducing the bathroom or hallway. This solution is considered to be a radical measure that increases the kitchen space almost doubled. Result: roomy room suitable requirements of owners. For those who are not ready for such changes, interior designers offer another way - a visual increase in space. It is achieved through the special design approaches and tricks.

replanning

Increase small kitchen area solved by combining with another room. Through this approach, the kitchen house the necessary appliances and have room for a dining area. To achieve this, remove the wall separating the room from the kitchen. However, most designers agree that it is - not the best option. Much better to remove part of the wall (it can be successfully beat by arranging a hole in the form of an arch or poluarki). So it will be able to expand the space of the kitchen, but it is easy to comply with zoning dining and working areas. Especially important it will be in the design of the kitchen studio.

Before you start a repair and re-planning their own hands, the action must be agreed with the management of architecture and urban planning in your city. Otherwise apartment owners face a fine.

Those who decided to expand the kitchen, no longer have to worry about careful selection of kitchen units and refrigerators, because now an increased room will fit almost any furniture. If the dining area will be put outside the "old" dishes, it is best to place it near the border (preferably at the window).

A visual extension of the space

With the right approach, without redevelopment is possible to do enough to listen to the advice of experienced designers. In general, each such space needs to develop its own project, because the food differ in the arrangement of windows, doors, the position of utility networks (water, sockets). No less important are the requirements of owners of the apartment, because young couples and families with children the requirements for kitchen and dining area will be different.

In this case, it is possible to allocate some general tips. Adhering to them, you can create a functional interior small kitchen.

1. Appliances. Do right now is impossible without these devices. In this case, place them all in the area of ​​5 square meters is problematic. What to do in this case? Cooker hob is easy to replace, and it is conveniently located under the washing machine or dishwasher. Often you use the oven? The shops offer a wide range of small ovens. His work they perform "perfectly well", and can fit in a closet or a niche on the brackets. The only thing that can cause difficulty - to find a place for a refrigerator, however, and it found an alternative - horizontal refrigerated cabinets.
2. Work surfaces. Design of small-sized kitchens must necessarily take into account the functional characteristics of the premises. To save space, all surfaces need to make the workers (the windowsill, too). To achieve this, the sill can be made wider than usual. Sometimes it is made of the same material as the countertop.
3. Foldaway furniture. Do you want to save space in small and cramped kitchen space? It is best to deal with that well-made furniture: tilt dining table, convertible chairs with hidden.
4. Door. How often do you use the door in the kitchen? If not - from it can safely get rid of to save a few centimeters. If yes - Swing the door leaf should be replaced on the coupe.

Selecting headset

Interior Khrushchev cuisine is largely dependent on a properly chosen furniture. Before purchasing a headset is necessary to consider some nuances, namely: whether the dining area located on the territory of the kitchen, and what lay headset preferable.

If you do not plan to a dining table with chairs, that restrict the choice of furniture, the buyer can only own imagination and budget level. Design 5-meter kitchen could easily fit absolutely any kitchen medium size. If the area is slightly higher than this figure, the design options becomes even greater. As for the types of planning, they are several. Take into account their features and benefits, and your kitchen will become a real source of pride.

• U-shape. Furniture in this case will be posted in the form of the letters P (in other words, it will occupy three walls of the room). These options allow a small kitchen design hold absolutely everything that you may need hostess storage system and all the necessary appliances (including large refrigerator). The only thing that really have no place - dining group, and space for the movement is only enough for one person.
• L-shaped (often referred to as a corner). This layout reduces the number of multiple cabinets and work surfaces, but it does not mean that it is less convenient. Choosing the design of a small kitchen, you can carve out a little space for a dining area. In addition, the workspace is located quite naturally: a cutting table, sink and stove (working triangle) is not possible to write on the L-shaped set.
• Parallel (Cabinets and Equipment exposed along two parallel walls). Use this layout should be very careful, because it is only suitable for areas which are close to the form of a square. After the arrangement of furniture is not space remains, which means that from the dinner table would have to give (or bring it into the dining room). At the same time, arrange here "work triangle" with the stove is not a problem.
• One series. To narrow the standard five-story kitchen design "par" - the best solution. That he will place enough cabinets to arrange a small dining area and leave little room for free movement.

Color spectrum

Light colors should be visually expand the space - with such a postulate, familiar even to those who are far from fully design skills. However, this does not mean that the interior of the kitchen should be entirely composed of white and beige. This color scheme is only able to waft the thought of a sterile hospital room, and does not help to relax or rest at home.

1. Pastel shades. Beige, white, peach, pale cornflower blue, sand - all of these shades is able to act as the primary with kitchen design in the five-story building. Furniture looks great in these colors. If the cabinet fronts will have a glossy surface is not only "push the" border, but also give a sense of solemnity (just look at the photos of professional projects).
2. Brown. All shades of this color may be present in the finishing materials (linoleum, wallpaper, parquet). They will make the room warm notes, make it more homey and cozy.
3. Bright colours. Kitchen Design 5 square. m should not completely deprive color. Ultramarine, Bright Lime, terracotta, fuchsia will add the room brightness and color of life. However, to use them better detail (it's "apron" of the working area, countertop or refrigerator facade).

design ideas
