The Khrushchevs have long been the subject of anecdotes. At the same time, this is a rather serious problem for many people. On the one hand, the apartments are notable for their accessibility; in the old days, many of them were built throughout the country. On the other hand, they and the interior of the apartment bring a lot of inconveniences to the living. To come up with an interesting design of a Khrushchev building for two rooms seems completely impossible to many.
It is reassuring that modern architecture and design have long since stepped forward. Now, if you try, you can make a cozy, modern apartment out of Khrushchev.
To design the best design of the Khrushchev, it is necessary to think over the future image of the room in advance, taking into account personal preferences and available resources (furniture techniques, etc.). After that, it will become clear what needs to be purchased. It is advisable to come up with the whole interior in advance, what and where to place.
It is better to equip such apartments in a classic style, combining them with elements of minimalism and functionalism. But you can add unusual solutions to the interior.
One of the main problems of Khrushchev houses is the lack of space. Usually, such apartments are small and it will not work to increase the space, but you can use the available space as efficiently as possible. It is better to remove unnecessary partitions between rooms, creating one large room.
Combine the hallway, living room, kitchen together. The second room can be kept as a separate bedroom. Or make one large room. It is recommended to divide the apartment space by highlighting the floor in different colors. You can even use different materials for this. For example, if a laminate was laid in the living room of the apartment, then cover the kitchen floor with linoleum.
Also remove the wall between the bathroom and toilet. If, instead of the bathroom itself, you install a shower stall, there will be a place to install a washing machine.
Advice! When demolishing partitions, make sure that the load-bearing walls are not touched; it is strictly forbidden to remove them.
You can visually increase the space without major redevelopment.
An example is the photos found on the Internet. An increase in window and door openings will visually increase the space by at least 25%. Moreover, doorways can be completely replaced with arches. Much depends on the colors you choose.
When decorating walls and ceilings in a 2-room apartment, it is better to stick to light shades. The floor can be darkened. In contrast, walls, ceiling and floor will visually enlarge the entire space.
Advice! The more mirrors there are in the apartment, the more spacious it will seem.
When choosing a style for Khrushchev, apart from the lack of free space for the designer, practically nothing limits. This means that you can choose absolutely any style while not forgetting about practicality. When choosing a style, you can focus on photo examples on the Internet.
If you choose a classic style, then the design will give off austerity and solidity. Any interior of a 2-room apartment will not look boring. It is characterized by wood materials and pastel colors.
The design options for a room in this style are presented in the photo.
Interesting pictures with beautiful frames will look great on the walls. The choice of works should be approached with taste, you do not need to hang everything. If nothing is suitable, then it is better to leave the interior of the wall as it is.
If you decide to abandon the redevelopment, then it is better to lay out all surfaces in the kitchen with ceramic tiles. And stick the wallpaper. Such solutions can be seen in many photos of already equipped apartments.
In the high-tech style, almost the same materials are used as in the classics, but at the same time it compares favorably with functionality. The combination of wood and metals gives a unique image to the interior of the room. The options for this design are shown in the photo.
The apartment's interior in French style reflects elegance and comfort. The walls in this room are covered with wallpaper with mother-of-pearl, stripes or floral patterns. The floors are finished with parquet and laminate. The design is complemented by wooden furniture, artificially aged, or decorated with glass. The options for this design are shown in the photo.
You can make the design of the Khrushchev, adhering to the ethnic style of any country. This is more suitable for creative people with exotic preferences. You can even try combining several different styles in one. In this case, it is better to seek help from professional designers.
With the limited space of a two-room Khrushchev, each item should be as practical as possible. Then, even in a limited space, you can find a place for everything you need. It should be remembered that each individual member of the family should have their own small personal space.
When decorating a Khrushchev, zoning can bring a significant positive effect. For example, you can divide the kitchen into two zones, a dining area and a work area (for cooking). For some, it turns out, to make a dining room-living room out of the kitchen. The main room can also be divided into several zones. Usually this is a study and a recreation area. On the example of some photos, you can see how it will look.
You can divide different areas with small partitions. But you should not use massive large partitions for this, since visually this only reduces the space. It is better to do this with light screens.

Don't be upset if you don't have enough money to buy a new full-length apartment. A little effort, and a dilapidated two-room Khrushchev can turn into a cozy comfortable nest. Take an example from the protagonist of this article. He decided to turn his small apartment into a mansion and enthusiastically set to work.
Since there was not enough money for a full renovation, as is often the case, our craftsman decided to put the apartment in order in stages.
Let me tell you a secret right away: the process dragged on for three long years. But the result was worth it. First of all, the master began to reconstruct the bathroom. By combining a microscopic bathroom and toilet, it got a pretty decent amount of space. The walls, of course, had to be leveled. And for this purpose, sheathing with moisture-resistant plasterboard turned out to be the most optimal.
He installed the washbasin on a sturdy metal frame.
There was also a place for a new water heater.
The hot water stand was successfully camouflaged with a bath podium.
The wife chose the color of the tiles, mirror and shelf. It turned out very stylish.
Plasterboard was also useful for repairs in living rooms.
The craftsman successfully used the metal profile for the manufacture of shelves and niches for a TV.
And again my wife worked as a designer. She approved the color scheme and thought over the interior details.
The laminate on the floor was laid without problems using OSB boards. The bedroom is ready!
Finally, the turn came to the corridor. And here the owner again used his favorite materials: drywall and profile.Yes, I had to lose a few centimeters of space. But, on the other hand, removing old plaster and installing new one is a rather difficult task for a non-professional builder.
For the floor, laminate was again used. This time in combination with ceramic tiles.
And the final chord! The walls are faced with artificial stone, the ceiling is decorated with a decorative wood-like beam, unusual lanterns are hung.
The most laborious was, of course, the renovation of the kitchen.
It had to be partially rescheduled. The master shortened the wall between the kitchen and the living room, giving the small room additional volume.
A small piece of Styrofoam came in handy to cover the unnecessary window to the bathroom.
Floor tiles look luxurious. And the wall is decorated with plaster boards covered with a lacquer-sink.
The wall separating the kitchen and living room is decorated with the same white brickwork.
The refrigerator is conveniently located in a niche. The kitchen is just beautiful!
What a fine fellow our fearless craftsman! He was not afraid of difficulties, put effort and ingenuity, used the artistic taste of his wife and, as a result, transformed the old apartment beyond recognition. I built a real palace with my own hands!
Good day! So far, as they say, the memory is fresh, I want to share the overhaul with partial redevelopment of the 2-room Khrushchev.
I won't tell you how many times we asked ourselves a question. after the purchase-))). “Why did we buy it?”, “What to do with it?” and "how to live here?" ... so many nuances emerged that were not initially visible.
So, the original (repair was only during construction)
Implementation of the scope of work on the construction of new interior partitions according to the plan
Further, finishing plastering work on all walls, arranging the ceiling and gypsum board (the kitchen-corridor ceiling was lowered by 4 cm and completely sewn up with sheets behind which the wiring was hidden), boxes and gypsum cortex were made in the rooms around the perimeter for spotlights and wiring
Wallpaper gluing, laminate flooring and installation of stretch ceilings in rooms, installation of sockets and switches, installation of doors, installation and connection of sanitary ware in the toilet. Installing a kitchen, connecting household appliances, installing a sink with a mixer and, most importantly, installing a refrigerator-))))). you can live everything KITCHEN
Wow, it feels like people with imagination will live in this apartment!
I liked how you chose the color scheme. Not just a compromise option (timid halftones, white), but full-fledged good colors!
The kitchen is cozy and warm, cheerful for children. There are interesting wallpapers in the hall. Only the sofa cushions with gold patterns did not look, they are from another opera.
I looked at your chandeliers with pleasure, I am glad that there are no spotlights everywhere.
I am wary of photowall-paper, but here, it seems, it turned out well.
The bath does not leave indifferent. I liked the brightness, the specially selected cabinet with a sink and the transition of red from the floor to the walls. But the decor is variegated.
Congratulations on the renovation. You are very cozy. Heat. Tell me the size of the bathroom.
Do you use a small washing machine? Does it make sense?
yes actually standard dimensions ... the width of the room is 1500mm, and the depth is 1800mm
that with regards to the stripping machine, of course it makes sense, but it may seem that 3.5 kg is not enough for a run ... BUT this drawback is more than compensated for by the fact that it hangs on the wall at face level and does not take up space on the floor ... I think the best solution for such baths ... and you can scroll the machine twice -))) ... stretching the same 6kg as a regular washing machine at a time
you know, after the photos AS IT WAS and those technical now you have a palace))) the kitchen is good)) and the bathroom is so ... lively))) definitely not boring))
in the corridor the wallpaper is nice)) liked it))
pearl also does not cause rejection)) good
the bedside table fits perfectly in the bathroom ... in one word, I liked almost everything)) +++
according to the project you have three sofas)) why so many?))
There are never too many sofas.
Well done! Everything was done very carefully! I just don't like the glossy ceiling, but these are my personal cockroaches ...
oh, and a broom would be somewhere else to define, otherwise it spoils all the beauty ...
do not touch the broom, he lives there)) otherwise now the rags on the sink and on the floor will annoy everyone))
about sofas ... well, probably)))
two sofas ... one in the hall ... the other in the nursery
the nursery is visually divided by a partition into two zones
-the nursery itself with furniture and a full-fledged bed, a TV set and a coffee table
-and the area for grandmothers, where there is a sofa just under the air conditioner (photo added)
The design of a two-room apartment in Khrushchev remains a hot topic for many families. Houses built in the distant 50-60s of the last century with small adjoining rooms and a combined bathroom remain the main living space for millions of people. With small areas, I really want to get their optimal distribution and beautiful design. It is not at all surprising that the project “Design of an apartment with an area of 42 sq. m (two-room Khrushchev) "or the design project" Two-room apartment (45 sq. m., Khrushchev) "are still in great demand and are popular.
Design of a two-room apartment in Khrushchev
The concept of "Khrushchev" has long been included in the everyday life of Russians. In the old days, these standard houses made a real housing revolution, ripping out millions of people from hostels and communal apartments. If in those distant years it was a dream to get such an apartment, nowadays, taking into account the improvement in the quality of life, there are a lot of problems with such housing.
Modern interior of the old Khrushchev
What are the characteristics of such apartments of the same type? One of the most common options: a two-room apartment. Its features: two adjacent living rooms, a small kitchen with an area of approximately 6 sq. m, a small entrance hall and a bathroom combined with a toilet. The total area is 40-46 sq. m with a living area of 26-31 sq. m. The ceiling is very low: 250-260 cm. It should be noted that most of these apartments have a small balcony. The thickness of the internal capital walls is 22-32 cm, and the thickness of the partitions is 7-9 cm.

In modern conditions, the owners of such apartments have a natural desire to increase the comfort of living. Design projects of two-room apartments (Khrushchev), in principle, are possible in several versions of changing the type of living space in order to expand the living space and improve it. The first option is a radical restructuring of the entire internal layout, that is, the demolition of all interior walls with the creation of a single space. This path is complicated by the need to agree on the plan in the relevant authorities, which is quite difficult to do.
The second option is a partial reconstruction with the elimination of only partitions. This method allows you to combine some rooms, for example, a kitchen-room, a hallway-room. Finally, the design of a two-room apartment in Khrushchev can be carried out without restructuring, but using modern trends and styles.
Combining kitchen and living room
If the redevelopment of the apartment is not available for some reason, then elegant solutions can be found without changing the boundaries of the internal premises. Photos of the design of a two-room apartment in Khrushchev can be easily found on the Internet in large quantities, for every taste. The main direction is a visual increase in the volume of the room. You can dwell on some options:
Additional usable area can be obtained by constructing some elements of drywall. The basis is made up of decorative niches, shelves, racks, elements located at different levels.
An increase in the size of window and door openings, the formation of arched openings allows for a visual increase in volume by almost a quarter.
Sliding doors and partitions make it possible to effectively design a two-room apartment in Khrushchev, where the rooms are walk-through.
Mirror finishing of niches and openings, mirror wall covering significantly increase the visual volume and create an attractive interior.

Mirrors in the design of the apartment to expand the space
Sometimes, in order for the space to appear larger, you simply need to carry out repairs in the two-room Khrushchev, and it is not at all necessary to engage in redevelopment. That is why pay attention to the following elements as well:
The color of the walls and furniture. Dark tones visually reduce space and absorb light. Try to use light shades. Yes, this step has irrefutable disadvantages: you will have to regularly clean, because dirt is very noticeable on light surfaces. Nevertheless, this solution is one of the most popular among residents.
Perform a general cleaning - as part of the repair, get rid of those things that you use less often than once a week. Place them in a storage bin if they are dear to you as a memory, or simply throw them away - such clutter negatively affects the size of the apartment, the mood of the residents and the atmosphere of the apartment as a whole.
By the way, about the storage bin: using it, you will be able to rationally use the cabinets in the rooms of the Khrushchev, because it will be possible to transport winter clothes to another place.
When carrying out repairs in a 2-room Khrushchev, be guided by the projects of Asian and European designers for housing with an area of 15-20 m2 (examples in the photo). Of course, you are unlikely to be able to ideally re-plan your apartment to meet the given standards, but you will definitely be able to draw useful ideas, such as beds and headsets built into the walls.
Living room in light colors
Using wardrobes in an apartment
A significant role in the visual expansion of space and the creation of the effect of lightness in a small apartment is played by the correct combination of color, pattern and material for wall, floor and ceiling decoration. The design of a two-room apartment in Khrushchev can be based on some tricks that are sometimes used by designers and interior professionals:
Khrushchev's interior in pastel colors
Photo wallpaper in the interior of the apartment
Light stretch ceiling in the apartment
As a rule, when planning a 2-room Khrushchev in the 50-60s, standard, pre-prepared options approved by the state were used. On the one hand, you have the opportunity to target residents who have already made repairs. On the other hand, it kills the individuality of the apartment, limiting room for maneuver.
The best way to avoid this is to redevelop, but first you need to draw up a floor plan. The layout scheme for a 2-room Khrushchev includes:
electrical wiring diagram;
number and location of outlets;
footage of rooms;
wall thickness;
location of water pipes.
Of course, there are companies that can organize a comprehensive analysis of your apartment, but it would be more profitable to separately coordinate the project with an electrician and a plumber by ordering wiring diagrams.
One of the most common design options for a small apartment is to combine a kitchen and a room. Having created a large enough room after removing the partition between the kitchen and the room, you should take care of the original and elegant zoning of the new space. For example, the appearance in the room of three zones: a kitchen, a dining room and a lounge (receiving guests).
Some general rules for zoning an apartment in Khrushchev can be noted:
Each family member should have a dedicated personal area. Moreover, the area of such a zone, as a rule, does not matter.
When combining a living room with a kitchen, a working kitchen area with a stove and a sink, kitchen cabinets and a refrigerator must be clearly identified and conditionally fenced.
Quite often, such zones are highlighted as: an office, a recreation area with a TV and the ability to listen to music, a comfortable chair or sofa, a computer space, etc. When erecting fences, it should be remembered that they should be lightweight, removable. Do not get carried away with stationary partitions.
As delimiting elements, you can use: a bar counter, a sofa, a table, a rack, a prefabricated structure from multilevel shelves. Conditional zoning is carried out by changing the level of the floor or ceiling, using different colors. An openwork or honeycomb design looks elegant, along which climbing indoor plants are skipped. The kitchen work area is often highlighted with additional lighting, for which spotlights are installed.
Zoning with a multilevel ceiling
When redeveloping a Khrushchev, as a rule, it is convenient to get rid of the wall separating 2 adjacent rooms, while the best option is to keep the distinction between them - filament curtains (example in the photo). Unlike a thick wall, such a curtain takes up less space, lets in light and fresh air, and most importantly, it can be removed at any time, making the room visually larger. This decor element will allow you to create an individual fashionable design in an ordinary Khrushchev: a beautiful appearance is combined with the practicality inherent in modern styles.

Often, the style of the interior requires a room decor that takes up a lot of space - which cannot be said about minimalism! This option in every possible way stimulates the minimization of the number of items in the apartment, which is just right for the design of a Khrushchev with 2 adjacent rooms (examples in the photo below).
The color scheme, as a rule, is used light - this visually expands the space and has a positive effect on the psychological state of a person. The most popular shades of white, blue, beige, etc.
There are different projects for redevelopment of a small-sized Khrushchev. One of these projects is called an office apartment. In this case, a large room, an entrance hall and a kitchen are combined into one fairly spacious room. The small room is completely isolated and turns into a bedroom (there is also a wardrobe). In a large room, a small study is clearly distinguished, which is best separated by a transparent sliding partition in order to drain into a single space if necessary. The zones are marked: a working kitchen area and a dining room.
Allocation of a working area in the apartment

The bathroom is also being renovated. Instead of a sitting bath, a shower cabin is installed and a washing machine is placed, and, if possible, also a small cabinet with a table top and drawers. As a result, in such a small apartment, all the necessary household premises are formed (living room, bedroom, dressing room, bathroom, kitchen, dining room and study), but at the same time the general boundaries are pushed apart due to the disappearance of partitions.

The next possible option is the "Apartment for three" project. In this project, the large room also connects to the hallway, but the wardrobe does not carry over to the bedroom. The kitchen is separated from the room by a sliding partition, and the refrigerator and electric stove slide into a niche. The partition between the rooms is shifted by 12-16 cm towards a slight decrease in the size of the bedroom. Illustrative confirmation of such options can also be found.
The third possible option is the formation of isolated rooms. This option is needed to create two separate bedrooms.In this case, a small corridor is created between the rooms, where another thin partition with a door is installed. The lengthened part of the hallway is suitable for a new dressing room. Thus, the area of the hallway increases. The resulting rooms, of course, have a small area, but they are isolated from each other. The resulting nook between the rooms can be turned into a small storage room.
Separation of the sleeping area with a curtain
Redevelopment of a small apartment allows you to provide the necessary design and equip the premises as needed. However, when carrying out work, the following prohibitions should be taken into account:
it is impossible to remove and violate the integrity of the load-bearing walls and supporting elements - such work is carried out only according to a special project;
the ventilation system should not be damaged;
it is strictly forbidden to close access to the gas stove or stove, as well as to carry it on your own;
it is not recommended to change the installation location of the toilet.
A two-room apartment in Khrushchev, of course, does not suit for its dimensions, but it can also be reconstructed, which will allow creating a modern design. Such an apartment can be expanded visually, creating a favorable effect without restructuring, but you can also achieve an increase in living space if you carry out redevelopment.
Renovation of small rooms in a 2-room Khrushchev building with one window and an inconveniently located door is a real challenge for imagination. Nevertheless, even a room in a Khrushchev can become quite cozy. The main enemy of small rooms is clutter and clutter. No creative chaos, a minimum of decor, furniture, color.
You can often hear that in modest rooms it is better to refuse dark color accents, but this statement is somewhat exaggerated. Light shades should really prevail, but if the whole furnishings are made in pastel colors, it will become a single faded spot uncomfortable, uninteresting, without character. The general palette (color of walls, floors, furniture, textiles) should complement each other.
Layout scheme of a 2-room Khrushchev with a walk-through room
Designers advise you to choose three colors: one will be the main, the second will be additional, and the third will become a link between the first two. It should play a supporting role, you can choose a brighter, accent one.
The choice of color is definitely a matter of personal preference. It is also important to take into account that the environment affects the emotional and psychological state of a person, even if this is not noticeable at first glance.
Light pastel shades are perhaps the most popular for bedrooms. They are diluted with accent details: darker furniture, bright textiles, decor.
Calm shades of green work well with wood surfaces. Green is a fairly versatile solution, and its various shades are appropriate for any room. Plus, it can be combined with a wide variety of colors. It will look interesting green with yellow, orange, purple, lilac, light blue.
Small dimensions are not an obstacle to the choice of brown, plum, burgundy, if the dark color can be correctly diluted, for example, with light furniture, textiles.
Hallway and living room
Blue, blue, their shades are considered cold, but they are no worse than others. Combination with gray, white will create a pacifying, calm atmosphere. Dilution with yellow, green will contribute to creating a warmer, more interesting atmosphere.
Various shades of orange, red, yellow are acceptable options for the bedroom, but more suitable for those people for whom this place is not only for sleeping.
Standard layout of a living room in a panel house
There are three most popular finishing options. All are suitable for low bedroom ceilings.
Leveling the surface with putty with further painting or wallpapering.Despite the apparent simplicity, this option is perhaps the most time-consuming, in terms of materials. Here, it is unlikely that it will be possible to simply grease individual areas in order to achieve the most even surface. In some places the layers can be up to 2 centimeters or more. In addition to the material side, there is one more important nuance. Even a high-quality putty, painted surface of prefabricated ceilings can crack after a while.
Plasterboard ceiling is flat or curly. Plasterboard is often used to quickly level the ceiling. It is not recommended to glue it, they use modern low-height profiles. The design will take only 5-7 cm. The question of curly ceilings is decided individually. There is a possibility that the lowered multi-level forms will make the atmosphere oppressive, visually reduce the space.
Kitchen combined with living room
Stretch ceiling is an excellent option for low Khrushchevs. Designers are pleased with the wide palette of colors, the ability to choose a glossy or matte surface. The ceiling mounted using wedge or bead technology will literally eat 3-5 cm, 5-7 cm will go away with the harpoon installation method.
What the floor will be covered with depends on the preferences and material capabilities of the homeowners. It is better to choose a floor covering that is not too light. It is advisable to lay laminate or parquet boards diagonally or across a narrow wall. The same rule applies to linoleum. Better to pick up a non-uniform pattern. Perhaps it will be diamonds or an imitation of small parquet. Many housewives bypass carpet because of its impracticality, but it is this option that will make the atmosphere warmer.
The idea of a modern interior in a standard Khrushchev
Wallpaper remains the main option for decorating the bedroom. Fortunately, thin paper "newspapers" have been replaced by more modern ones: vinyl, textile, non-woven coatings, which have excellent aesthetic and practical qualities. Linkrust wallpaper, which is now back in fashion, is better not to use.
An alternative option is liquid wallpaper. They are distinguished by their original texture, allow you to create a seamless "soft" surface, as well as interesting large patterns.
In the photo there is a living room combined with a hall in a kopeck piece
An interesting solution will be the last word in design - luminescent wallpaper. In the dark, a light pattern appears on them, which gradually fades towards morning. During the day, the coverage looks quite normal.
Wall painting is the most budgetary, simple finishing option with its own advantages. It allows you to choose absolutely any shade of the interior. Matte paints are great. They are often decorated with vinyl decals to create a certain ambiance.
There is no need to talk about choosing a room setting for all your requirements. It is convenient to place here the most necessary luck.
Choose a bed with drawers. Such models are more expensive, but there is no extra space to store bedding. Moreover, it is most likely that it will not work to put a bulky chest of drawers.
The headboard of the bed in the form of a panel-shelf will allow you to conveniently place handy things and refuse bedside tables.
Connoisseurs of extraordinary solutions may like the idea of installing a bed by the window, when the bed will occupy the entire distance from wall to wall.
Sometimes it will be appropriate to install a corner double bed.
Bedroom with wallpaper and wood-like ceiling
Advice! The bed is the only thing that cannot be saved on. It should be comfortable, even if the size forces you to sacrifice something else.
All furnishings should correspond to the same style, color, time era.
A sliding wardrobe with high mirrored doors will visually make the space larger.
If you plan to install a TV, consider thin TV panels that hang on the wall.
Often, the design of a two-room apartment involves redevelopment, demolition of walls, and unification. Some plans allow you to increase the bedroom at the expense of the pantry, if the hostess does not mind, but more often a global restructuring comes down to moving the doorway.
Any well-planned business can be considered half completed, so the first thing to do is arrange the furniture. To do this, you can use special computer programs that are easy to master even for a beginner, or you can use the old proven method: draw a room on a scale on a sheet of paper, cut out pieces of furniture from cardboard, try for everyone to find their place.
Bedroom with a spacious wardrobe and a mezzanine above the door
The furniture starts from the bed. Only after determining its location do they move on to the following items. In a narrow small room, it is installed across, closer to one of the narrow walls, or along a long wall. Other options are impractical. It is clear that for a double bed, it is desirable to provide a two-way approach.
The closet should occupy the darkest corner. The dressing table is placed along the wall perpendicular to the window. An alternative would be a mirror with a hinged shelf, under which a narrow pouf is hidden.
Designers recommend arranging the headset in such a way that there is at least 70 cm of free space between objects. Only poufs, bedside tables, which move close to each other, do not fall under this rule.
Original cabinet lighting
Natural light, as paradoxical as it may be, plays a secondary role. The main question is how to correctly organize the artificial.
Multilevel lighting. It is advisable to install switches with a power regulator. It is worth abandoning bulky lampshades under the ceiling, floor lamps that occupy a useful area, and many spotlights. Such illumination is meaningless, it does not replace competent local lighting, in addition to this, fluorescent lamps form an unpleasantly cold atmosphere.
Advice! Soft diffused light that fills the entire room will create the necessary visual volume and comfort.
On an area of about 10 square meters, one flat chandelier will be enough, one or two sconces are placed by the bed, another lighting device on the ceiling or wall is placed near the closet or dressing table. The sconces by the bed can be replaced with small tall table lamps. Fans of extraordinary solutions can pick up small plafonds lowered over the curbstones from the very ceiling.
The window in the Khrushchev's bedroom is usually small. Here, plain fabric curtains will be more appropriate, if the window is on a short wall - a horizontal strip will come in handy. It is worth giving up bulky curtains, canopies. In the pictures, the interiors look cozy, in practice they make the atmosphere heavy and dusty. As for the method of fastening, it is better to give preference to traditional cornices. An original solution can be a shelf above the window. She will visually raise the walls, give a little space for collecting various trinkets.
Workplace on the balcony connected to the living room
If you abandon the radiator under the window opening, the space around you can be interesting to beat, for example, turn it into a mini cabinet or a library. To do this, a shallow built-in wardrobe is installed around, the window sill is remade under the countertop, or a small bench with pillows is erected directly under the window.
The decor, as already mentioned, is a minimum. Open shelves, it is better to leave half empty, this will make the situation easier. Chaotic hanging of many photos of different sizes has become very popular, in this case it is better to replace them with one large picture or choose a modular one.
In conclusion, I would like to note that the design of a two-room apartment in Khrushchev is not an easy task even for professionals.For those who manage on their own, various computer programs in which you can create an almost accurate picture of the future interior will become excellent assistants. But the colors, as a rule, are very distorted, so it is better to look at the palette in the photo on the Internet.
