Apartment remodeling
The redevelopment of the apartment in Khrushchev had to start with the demolition of those parts of the walls that were not load-bearing. Only those walls that were in the bathroom, in its "wet zone", were not touched. In addition, during the redevelopment of the Khrushchev, an additional wall was erected in the bedroom, fencing off a place for the dressing room. This avoided cluttering up the space with separate storage systems. The dressing room has two entrances - from the bedroom and from the living room, which is very convenient.
Kitchen-living room design
The walls in the design of a small apartment by the Khrushchevs were decorated with light gray plaster, the sofa area - with decorative white bricks. The result is a background typical of Scandinavian design, against which color accents look advantageous.
The built-in storage system looks like a part of the wall, on which a large inscription is applied - this does not violate the integrity of the interior design. The partition on which the TV panel is located separates the living room and kitchen areas. The color accent in the design is a turquoise carpet on the living room floor.
The dining group in the Khrushchev apartment is located in the living room part - it is a table from the Finnish designer Eero Saarinen, Tulip, surrounded by chairs from the Danish designer Hans J. Wegner. According to the author of the project, Galina Arabskaya, it is the presence of such things that completes the interior design, communicating individuality and making the atmosphere more comfortable and refined.
The main decorative accent of the kitchen-living room falls on the dining group, therefore both the sofa and the kitchen furniture are very modest and minimalistic - they should not distract attention from the center of the composition.
In the design project of the apartment in Khrushchev, several light schemes are provided. Each functional area has its own lighting scenario, the backlight can be turned on both simultaneously and in parts - for example, you can only illuminate the table near the TV.
The sofa area is illuminated by ceiling lights hidden in a plasterboard niche and small recessed ceiling lights. The dining room furniture is illuminated by a designer wall lamp designed by Serge Mouille.
Bedroom design
The main decoration of the small bedroom is the wall behind the headboard, covered with wallpaper from the Soul collection. The large Borastapeter drawing resembles fairytale trees, and the decorative mirror is the sun rising in a fantastic forest.
Ditre Italia's gray fabric upholstery on the Drim bed makes it incredibly cozy. Instead of traditional nightstands, two Adjustable Cigarette coffee tables made of steel structures with glass tops were placed next to it - they look light, almost weightless, and do not visually reduce the area.
The light is provided by two Cosmo Capsule pendant lights by the bed and a Delightfull table lamp of unusual design, made in Portugal.
Wardrobe
Since I did not want to clutter up a small apartment in Khrushchev, the designer allocated a separate dressing room for storing things.Dividing the bedroom into two volumes with the help of a partition, she simultaneously solved the problem of correcting the proportions of the room: the previously elongated and narrow bedroom became more harmonious and approaching in shape to a square.
To make it convenient to use the dressing room, two doors were made into it - one leads to the bedroom, the other to the living room. It will fit both clothes and shoes for all seasons, and travel suitcases.
Balcony in the apartment Khrushchev
The small kitchen has become more spacious due to the recreation area equipped on the balcony, which had to be pre-glazed. A small table, a chair that can be folded when not needed and a small sofa create a cozy space. In addition, you can store things in the sofa; for the same purpose, a cabinet is hung on one of the walls.
Bathroom design
In the Khrushchev apartment, a small bathroom contains a corner shower, a hanging toilet, a cabinet with a sink and a built-in washing machine, as well as two spacious storage systems above the sink and toilet.
