The interior of the "Khrushchev" in various styles

No matter how the requirements of people for apartments change, "Khrushchev" remains a very common type of housing. One has to adapt to it involuntarily. As practice shows, this space, with all the mass of its shortcomings, can be made quite comfortable and stylish.

"Khrushchevs" have a whole range of planning features that make it difficult to live on such a living space. The architectural concept of the Khrushchev era provided for small rooms, and cramped kitchens, and narrow corridors, and combined bathrooms, and low ceilings. All this was inherited by a modern person, for whom, in order to comfortably live in such an apartment, it may not be enough to repair in a budget option. Sometimes you need modernization that goes far beyond the economy level.

The problem of "Khrushchev" is the peculiarities of the organization of living space. The apartment may be three-room or four-room, but one of the rooms is walk-through, and therefore already loses its functionality. The living room can be someone's bedroom at the same time. And the walk-through bedroom is no longer a bedroom.

Therefore, sometimes the only option to improve the quality of space is redevelopment. In the "Khrushchev" building, the bearing walls are the outer walls. Internal partitions are not such, there is room for transformation. Another thing is that such measures require consultations with architects and coordination with the relevant services.

Demolishing walls and merging rooms sometimes creates new challenges. Therefore, there is no need to go to extremes. The same bathroom must remain in place. In case of communal troubles in a new bathroom with a toilet bowl leaking, for example, you can flood the living room from below.

Combining the room with the kitchen leads to unpleasant consequences. Such redevelopment, as a rule, is decided by the owners of a one-room or two-room apartment, where it is very cramped. With such a combination, the space becomes larger, but steam from cooking walks around the room, and greasy stains sooner or later reach places outside the former kitchen. The walls and furniture of the living room are saturated with the smell of food.

A sense of spaciousness can be achieved without breaking and transferring something:

• When choosing wallpaper, it is better to prefer canvases with small patterns. Such ornaments visually expand the space and make it boring.
• It is better to refuse from flashy colors and dynamic drawings. If you want the room to have some kind of accent, it is better to highlight a certain functional area with a bright color.

• The rest of the walls should remain in calm colors.
• It is preferable to arrange doors between adjacent rooms in the form of a folding screen. Thanks to this, spaces can be combined without depriving them of functionality.
• When decorating rooms, do not allow a variety of styles in each of them. Otherwise, you will get a sense of chaos. There will be no space in such an apartment.

The loggia can be made part of the living room, and that, in turn, can be combined with the kitchen. At the same time, the bathroom can be enlarged due to the corridor leading to the kitchen. Such a combined space is easier to arrange in a loft, using light colors in the interior, dark ones will give the apartment a gloom.
