Choosing a kitchen set in "Khrushchev"

A distinctive feature of apartments in Soviet-built houses is a small square of rooms, bathrooms and kitchens. The area of ​​the latter does not exceed 7 meters. Most kitchens are 5 or 6 squares in size. It is not easy to place furniture on such an area, but it is possible. With the right choice of a kitchen set in "Khrushchev", it is not difficult to make the room cozy and functional.

When equipping a kitchen in a small typical apartment, it is important to use every centimeter of the area. Particular attention should be paid to the headset. Due to the limited quadrature, you will have to give up luxury options. Furniture should not be oversized, otherwise it will clutter up a small room and make it uncomfortable for cooking or receiving guests. For a small kitchen, it is best to choose compact pieces of furniture.

This is a kitchen located in one of the corners of the room. The ideal solution for "Khrushchev". Such a headset takes up a minimum of space, while saving usable space. Typically, a corner kitchen has numerous cupboards for storing kitchen utensils. This makes it practical and functional.

In addition, the corner kitchen allows you to create an ergonomic working triangle. This means that the hostess will have everything at hand: stove, sink and countertop. Being in the middle, she can easily manage several kitchen units. The advantages of corner fittings include their extensive assortment. Many companies offer ready-made variations or take orders for the manufacture of furniture according to their own design.

This is a set along 3 walls. A good option for medium-sized and spacious kitchens. But for small-sized premises, it is not suitable. The U-shaped headset is bulky. If you install it in a small apartment, it makes the most of the square of an already small space. As a result, only a narrow passage will remain in the room, providing access to all 3 sides of the headset. With such an arrangement, there can be no question of installing a dining group.

It is also called linear. This shape assumes the location of the headset in one line. According to the designers, this is a great option for kitchens in "Khrushchevs". This layout will be especially successful if you place the kitchen along the smallest wall. Compared to other types, direct typefaces have great advantages. These include:

• compactness;
• practicality;
• functionality.

The kitchen in Khrushchev, despite its small size, can be decorated in any style. In this case, the main thing is to choose the design of the headset for the general interior. Usually, the following kitchen styles are chosen for small spaces:

• Classic. A classic set involves the use of natural materials in its manufacture. It can be wood, glass, various types of metal. The traditional colors of classic cuisine are white, ivory, beige, gray.

• Minimalism. A distinctive feature of this direction is the minimum number of functional items. A small number of headset drawers, closed modular structures, built-in household appliances - all this will help to emphasize a minimalist style.

• High tech. The direction is characterized by a clear geometry of the headset, household appliances and other furnishings. Outwardly, such a kitchen will resemble an office space because of the restrained tones and strict geometric shapes.

Listening to the advice of designers, you can arrange a stylish and functional kitchen in the "Khrushchev". In such apartments, the area of ​​the room leaves much to be desired, so it is important not to make mistakes when choosing a headset. In order not to be mistaken with the size, it is important to estimate how much space will be taken by the obligatory kitchen "attributes", such as a refrigerator, stove, and dining group. After that, it will become visible how much area is left for the headset. The best solution would be not to purchase a finished product, but to order according to your own measurements.

When choosing a corner set, designers advise abandoning doors with a lifting or sliding type. It is advisable to give preference to options with a rotary or retractable mechanism. They are convenient to use in confined spaces. Do not forget that a small room can be enlarged visually with the right shades of furniture. For these purposes, a light-colored headset with a glossy surface is suitable. But it is better to refuse dark furnishings. These are "heavy" colors that visually clutter up the space and make it uncomfortable.

The ideal solution for a small kitchen is a set located in one of the corners of the room. In this case, it is important that the upper cabinets are up to the ceiling. This design will visually lengthen the walls. It is more convenient to place a stove next to the headset, and a refrigerator and a table on opposite sides. If the kitchen is of a linear type, it is recommended to use built-in appliances integrated into the set. Its main distinguishing feature is its compactness. For example, it is more advisable to use a built-in hob than an electric or gas stove.

If the family is small, you can skip the lunch group. It can be replaced by a bar counter. Having arranged the high chairs, 2-3 people can be accommodated behind it. If the width of the countertop allows, it is permissible to place a microwave oven, bread bin or other kitchen utensils on it. In a small kitchen, you can still arrange a dining table.
