Renovation of a 3-room apartment in "Khrushchev"

Convenient arrangement of rooms is a very important nuance that affects the choice of an apartment. But not always there are funds, the ability to choose expensive housing with a large area. The secondary old fund is also very popular, and even if you have a 3-room "Khrushchev" at your disposal, there are many ways to equip it with comfort for all household members. If desired, it can be turned into a comfortable space, giving it coziness and aesthetics.

Typical buildings, which are called "Khrushchevs", were built without thinking about special comfort for residents, but very high quality. The features of a 3-room apartment in "Khrushchev" include:

• low ceilings;
• small areas of both residential and non-residential areas;
• combined toilet and bathroom;
• the presence of walk-through rooms;
• low level of sound insulation.

At the same time, there are no load-bearing walls inside the apartment, and if there is no way to do without redevelopment, this will not cause problems in the authorities. If we talk about a typical "treshki" layout, then there may be several of them:

• 2 small rooms, one larger;
• 2 adjacent large and one small isolated;
• living rooms face different sides of the house;
• rare, but there are apartments with isolated rooms.

Very often in such apartments there are storage rooms that are converted into dressing rooms. The most popular option for arranging "treshki":

• living room;
• bedroom;
• children's.

You can re-plan such an apartment in different ways, but any option consists of certain stages. The complexity of the repair depends on the authorities in which the project will have to be coordinated. There is a repair option for which you just need a sketch.

It will not be possible to change the dimensions of a three-room apartment, regardless of the type of repair, but it is possible to increase the space of some rooms. There are two types of reorganization:

• combining rooms by creating a studio with dedicated zones;
• partial integration - kitchen and living room, bathroom, balcony with adjacent room.

In addition, there is a cosmetic repair option without redevelopment.

The closest room in the "Khrushchev" is the kitchen, and this is the main complaint of the tenants. An area of ​​6 square meters is not enough for a hostess, and even more so for a large family. This variation of redevelopment is the most popular: the kitchen is connected to the living room in the studio, the door is eliminated. Another common solution is to combine a bathroom and a pantry; the previous passage to the kitchen is also used. This comfortable type of reorganization even allows you to set aside a small area for a dining room.

In corner "treshki" often in one room there are two window openings, which allows you to divide it into two separate rooms. An increase in space by attaching a balcony is often used, but it must be pre-insulated. Another serious complaint about the Khrushchevs is the presence of adjoining rooms, especially if more than one or two people live in the apartment. This issue is resolved by giving part of the area to one of the rooms. The narrow corridor is lengthened, and 2 isolated rooms are obtained on either side of it.

There is a type of repair, in which the demolition of the walls is not provided, - cosmetic. Sometimes it is enough to break through the opening and arrange it effectively, or to do without dismantling it altogether. There are design tricks you can use:

• walls seem more distant if they are decorated in cold colors of light colors, with a small pattern;
• the walls are pushed apart visually wallpaper with horizontal ornament.

For a small apartment, which does not provide for physical expansion of the space, great attention should be paid to the choice of style and decor of the room.

A plain white ceiling is the best solution. In addition, it is better to abandon styles that require massive furniture, an abundance of decor. Optimal variations are modern trends. Minimalism, Scandinavian style, hi-tech will fit perfectly.

From how difficult the repair is planned, its stages are determined: preparatory, major, finishing. If you provide for only cosmetic work, then major procedures are excluded from the list.

The preparatory stage includes the following points:

• thinking through an idea;
• drawing up a work plan;
• budget formation;
• creating accurate measurements and adjusting the plan depending on them.

After this stage is completed, you can proceed to the capital. It includes:

• dismantling of previous coatings, partitions, communications;
• construction of new ones;
• arrangement of doorways;
• electrical installation;
• routing of pipes and other communications;
• reinstalling windows if necessary;
• surface leveling works - slopes, walls, ceiling;
• screed and floor insulation;
• fine finishing of the ceiling, walls;
• plumbing work;
• laying of flooring - tiles, linoleum, laminate.

The cosmetic stage can be either completely or partially replacing the capital, or performed after more serious work. In any case, it is performed with the walls, floor and ceiling in the final form. Among the stages of cosmetic repair are:

• purchase of necessary materials;
• freeing up the area for work;
• finishing of walls, ceilings.

At the end of it, the arrangement of furniture, arrangement by means of textiles, decoration of the room is carried out. At this stage, the apartment is given the finishing touches when the originally conceived composition is created.

The combination of the living room and the kitchen allows you to allocate a large amount of free space for arranging different zones.

The main thing is that when forming a design solution for a small room, you should not overload it with details. But you shouldn't give up the original design either.

The dining area in the space freed up between the kitchen and the living room is a very popular technique.

The entrance hall combined with the living room is an unusual, but very interesting solution.

Focus on a clean design without bulky details - this is the secret to the success of small apartment design.

In addition to modern trends, you can use the always current classics.
