Design ideas for a corner kitchen in Khrushchev

The design of small living spaces has certain difficulties. It is necessary to place everything you need on the basis of a small space, and to do it as comfortably and efficiently as possible. This article will be of particular interest to owners of small apartments, as it will talk about decorating a corner kitchen in the "Khrushchev".

Before proceeding directly to the choice of furniture and the design of the room, you need to understand exactly what you want to see in the end and what you need for a comfortable rest and work in the kitchen. Determine the exact number of shelves, cabinets, and more. Designate what household appliances, besides the refrigerator, will be in the room.

An important role is played not only by the headset, but also by the materials used to decorate the walls and ceiling. Their color and texture should match the chosen style. Every element in the room plays an important role. Furniture should be in harmony with finishes and other decorative elements. The list of recommended and practical ideas is as follows.

• The maximum number of colors for furniture, walls and ceilings is 2. The third color can only be used as a complement.
• Glossy surface texture.
• Light and calm colors. Dark and saturated colors can be chosen only for an apron.
• Lack of a lot of details and patterns.

• The presence of high top cabinets, reaching almost to the ceiling.
• Lack of a door in the kitchen. It is best to arrange an arch or install a partition.
• Unload the countertop as much as possible by distributing items around the room. We store them in cabinets or hang them.
• In a small kitchen, you can arrange a stretch ceiling. It is better to give preference to light-colored canvases, without a pattern.
• If you plan to equip your kitchen with a cooker hood, the best option would be to build it into a cupboard, and install shelves for spices, tea and various kitchen utensils next to it.

Ready-made kitchen sets are presented by modern manufacturers in a huge assortment. This not only gives a huge freedom of choice, but also prevents inexperienced buyers from making the right choice. A set for a small kitchen should successfully combine practicality, compactness and stylish appearance. The designs are designed to perform as much function as possible in a limited space. Manufacturers use roomy shelves, drawers and other convenient mechanisms.

As for the appearance, it is better to opt for minimalism in soft, pastel colors. This is the most versatile and common option found in any furniture store, however, other stylistic ideas will work as well. Also, furniture for "Khrushchev" and other items on the territory of the room must have multitasking (perform several tasks at the same time).For example, an enlarged window sill will become a comfortable and bright place for eating, and a stylish machine built into the closet will perfectly play the role of the base of the work surface.

The presence of pull-out baskets allows you to place a large number of necessary items inside the kitchen cabinets. Due to the convenient and practical mechanism, the user can completely slide it out of the cabinet and, having taken out the necessary thing, hide the device inside. Depending on the headset model, baskets can have different shapes and sizes. Some types are equipped with practical holders and additional cavities for placing cutlery and other useful little things.

This is a great solution for storing things you need in a small kitchen. On sale you can find furniture with a double basket. They are fastened together, due to which, when the cabinet door is opened, one basket pulls out to the other. By developing this device, it became possible to use the empty and far corners of the headset with efficiency.

These are special hinged systems that are mounted on the wall under the work surface, sink or stove. Their purpose is to place various things that are often needed when working in the kitchen close at hand. As a rule, railing systems are used to accommodate the following things: towels, cutlery, potholders, jars of spices and other accessories (spatulas, whisks, and much more). Frames take up space on a vertical plane, thereby freeing up space on surfaces, shelves and cabinets. The most common placement option is an apron, however, they can be attached to the bottom of wall cabinets.

Special shelves with a rotating mechanism are called carousels. This idea began to be used in the development of kitchen sets relatively recently, however, it has already become popular. A practical shelf with the ability to rotate around its axis will provide quick access to the desired item. As a rule, such systems are placed inside cabinets installed on the floor.

One of the main requirements when choosing a kitchen unit, as well as designing a small room, is compactness. On the basis of "Khrushchev", curtain facades are often installed, especially if it is equipped with glass inserts. Such furniture creates a positive visual effect. When it comes to the shape of the furniture, simplicity is a winning option. It is better to refuse options with voluminous decorative elements, large handles, carved patterns, and more. Furniture with overhangs will take up an already very limited space. Be sure to consider all these recommendations when choosing a ready-made headset for your kitchen.

The placement method provides for the connection of two working, horizontal surfaces on adjacent walls. This technique is often used even on the basis of spacious living quarters due to its convenience and ergonomics. The room is divided into two separate areas. As a rule, one of them is used for cooking and the other for dining. But if there is room to place a table, both areas can become working areas. The second area can be supplemented with a small folding table. With this design, a room into a table can be turned into a modified window sill.

It is easy to guess from the name that in this case the headset and household appliances are placed along three walls. Experts recommend installing a rack with a sink near the window for natural light in this area. This option is more suitable if you need to place a large number of household appliances in the room (washing machine, dishwasher, oven). The equipment is placed in cabinet niches.

If you rarely use the oven for cooking, it is better to install a separate hob instead of the stove. You can use the free space under it to store the things you need. As a rule, it is placed near the sink, on the territory of one work surface. When choosing equipment, pay attention to combined devices that combine the functions of several devices at the same time. On sale you can find a microwave with a built-in toaster or an oven that combines an electric oven and a grill.

Correctly chosen design decoration will allow you to equip the room not only practically, but also stylishly. Not all styles are suitable for small kitchens. Everyone's favorite classic, which is always relevant and in demand, is not the best choice due to the large number of volumetric decorative elements. Decorations typical for this trend will look cumbersome in Khrushchev. Let's take a closer look at styles that are great for small kitchens.

Stylish and practical hi-tech is ideal for fans of modern solutions. It is a combination of minimalism, futurism and innovative ideas. This trend is based on maximum efficiency and practicality in the smallest area. Practical furniture and multifunctional equipment are used here. Visually, this style is distinguished by the following characteristics: futuristic shapes, chrome details, glossy surfaces. The materials used are metal, glass and plastic.

Simplicity and practicality are the motto of minimalism. There is no place for pretentious elements, decorations, additional details. Only the essentials are left at the base of the room. At the same time, well-designed minimalism does not look boring, on the contrary, it attracts attention with its brevity, restraint and lightness.

In terms of external qualities, this direction is similar to high-tech. Modern is characterized by smooth, soft lines. They fit harmoniously into the small space of the kitchen.

This direction is ideal for the embodiment of delicate and romantic design. The style is characterized by pleasant pastel colors (lilac, pink, blue, peach, beige) and light shades. A feature of the style is the use of floral patterns. When decorating a small kitchen, it is best to keep their use to a minimum.
