Design of a 1-room apartment with an area of ​​30 sq. m in "Khrushchev": ideas for creating comfort

Many young people start their independent life with one-room apartments. And even such a seemingly small housing, I want to equip it nicely and comfortably. Today, it is not necessary to contact a designer to arrange your home, because most of the information can be found even on your own, without spending a lot of money and time on it. This article will tell you just about it.

Despite the fact that "Khrushchevs" are rather small apartments with low ceilings, getting rid of all unnecessary things in them and using modern materials, you can visually make them more spacious and comfortable with minimal costs.

Many professionals agree that in most cases only high-quality repairs and zoning of functional areas can help one-room apartments. Modern partitions make it possible to expand the space of the living area, and in some cases even create a full-fledged studio apartment.

In an apartment in which she has gas, it can be very problematic to combine the kitchen, dining room and sleeping area (or living room) without the appropriate documents. This is generally prohibited. Usually, a studio is created only in those houses where the kitchen is not gas, but electric.

Not load-bearing walls can be demolished, but in many "Khrushchevs" they are exactly the same... If the wall, for example, is not load-bearing to the balcony, then it can be demolished and the kitchen space expanded by attaching the dining area to it.

Separate functional areas can be distinguished using different wall and floor coverings. They may vary in color and texture. Screens, textile partitions and glass options, as well as cabinets and racks can be used as partitions in rooms.

For registration of a one-room apartment with an area of ​​30 sq. m it is preferable to choose the style:

• high tech;
• minimalism;
• modern classic.

It should be noted that the interior of a one-room apartment implies the use of only one stylistic solution in all rooms. A combination of several styles may not be appropriate. As a rule, only professional designers can dare to take such a step.

A few words about each of the styles.

• High tech. This style is very popular today, especially among young people. High-tech involves the use of monochrome shades in finishing materials and furniture, a minimum of details and accessories in the interior, as well as good lighting. In addition, this style is characterized by the use of built-in technology, which perfectly saves space and is ergonomic.

• Minimalism. In some aspects, minimalism is very similar to high-tech style. Minimalism involves a moderate combination of simple and laconic forms in finishing materials and furniture. This style is a special philosophy for many people, there is nothing superfluous in it that will interfere with relaxation and rest.

• Modern classic. This style of interior can cost a decent amount, but it will certainly delight all household members with its warm comfort. In a modern classic style, it is not necessary to use pretentious details and an abundance of pompous furniture. The main thing here is to correctly combine unshakable luxury with modernity.

Which style to choose depends on the preferences of the household, the layout of a small apartment and, of course, financial capabilities. The lightest interiors for independent planning and renovation are hi-tech and minimalism. If you want to tackle the modern classics, it is recommended to consult a specialist or read the relevant design works on the topic. Otherwise, inappropriate repairs can be made.

Before purchasing wallpaper for the entire apartment, it is recommended to make a visual project. Regardless of the chosen style, we recommend sticking to cold or warm, but most importantly - light colors. For high-tech and minimalism styles, it is the cold color palette that is considered especially advantageous, and for the classics, a warm one.

Walls in a small apartment are best covered with plain wallpaper, paint or decorative plaster. If you want wallpaper with flowers, greenery, birds or other prints, then it is best to choose small, unusual options that are not too dazzling in your eyes. For modern styles, you can pay attention to wallpaper with stripes or with various geometric shapes.

Using the floor in a studio apartment of 30 sq. m, you can delimit the space of two zones. For example, the kitchen area can be tiled or porcelain stoneware, and the dining area in the living room can be laminated... For the bathroom, of course, it is best to choose tiles, although in recent years the walls have also been covered with special moisture-resistant paint.

The ceilings in "Khrushchevs" are usually low, but this does not mean at all that they should not attract attention. The most popular solution today is the use of stretch ceilings, ideally single-level, as 2-level can reduce an already low room.

For “Khrushchevs” it is preferable to choose light shades of floor and wall coverings in combination with advantageous lighting in the premises. Ideal for only 30 sq. m to combine 3 colors, of which no more than 10-15% should be allocated for accents. It is known that light colors make the room visually larger, more voluminous and more comfortable. The same goes for furniture.

For a modern kitchen, you can choose from a glossy white ceiling, white wallpaper with silver or black stripes, and gray porcelain stoneware flooring.

For a kitchen in a classic style, you can choose a decorative plaster "liquid silk", for example, in a milky or creamy color. Any natural light wood color is suitable for the floor.

Remember to use the contrast rule. If the ceilings are in warm colors, then the floors are in cold colors, and vice versa. This rule will help create a very harmonious interior. It is also advisable to make the walls a little darker than the ceiling, at least by a few shades.

Partitions and screens can be made bright as accents in the room, if any. To add variety to the kitchen, the accent can be made on the apron. In a modern interior, it can be laid out from mosaic tiles.

Furniture for a small one-room apartment in "Khrushchev" should be compact, modern and ergonomic. It is preferable to choose modular designs with additional storage space. In addition, modular furniture is produced in collections, and therefore it will not be difficult to choose all the things for the whole apartment in the same style and color.

It is best to replace a classic wardrobe with a sliding wardrobe, and if there is free space, you can make a cabinet system from floor to ceiling, which will fit everything - from clothes to household items.

Shelves for books and accessories can be placed above the sofa or bed; they are very advantageous in small spaces. Wardrobes or small shelves can be installed in the corners of rooms.

The kitchen set, depending on the area of ​​the kitchen and personal preferences, can be straight or angular. Both options have their pros and cons. To make the kitchen room more spacious and "airy", preference should be given to a kitchen set without handles, but with built-in appliances. If we are talking about a studio apartment, then you should make sure that the equipment is silent and does not interfere with the rest in the living room during work.

Also, transforming furniture is always in great demand for "odnushki", especially when it comes to sofas.

Even in a one-room "Khrushchev" building, you can bring to life the most daring design ideas without resorting to the help of specialists. You can independently organize the repair in such a way that it will be impossible to recognize the "Khrushchev" before and after. For inspiration, consider the most successful and beautiful examples of interiors with and without a balcony.

We recommend paying attention to the interior of the kitchen-dining room with floor and wall zoning. The white kitchenette with ceiling cabinets is in perfect harmony with the miniature wood-look table. An excellent solution if you need to squeeze the maximum out of the "odnushka".

A beautiful example is the white wardrobe. For 30 sq. m it is most advantageous to choose cabinets made of white glossy or frosted glass or plastic. And fully mirrored cabinets will also look good.

If you want to add a touch of brightness, we recommend that you take a closer look at the idea of ​​creating a bright apron in the kitchen, coupled with the original lighting. Also, as bright accents, you can use textile accessories, for example, decorative pillows, a blanket or a rug.

When combining a balcony with a kitchen and in the absence of free space on the balcony, you can successfully place a refrigerator and even a small dining area with a bar counter.
