“Khrushchevkas” are the first houses of mass construction with small-sized apartments, low ceilings and poor sound insulation. They were actively built from the 60s to the 90s of the last century throughout the country, and many Russian families At that time, they acquired their own housing for the first time.

Those who today live in these small apartments, for example, with an area of 43 square meters. m, they are increasingly asking the question: how to draw up a design project for a two-room “Khrushchev” apartment? And what interior design ideas are there?

Layout features

“Khrushchevka” is easy to recognize among other apartments by its characteristic features, for example, wide double-leaf windows in the shape of a square. Or along small windows on the edge of the end panel in the kitchen.

What else distinguishes this type of apartment from the same “Stalin” apartments and other options:

Availability of a passage room.
Small kitchen - from 4-5 to 6 square meters. m.

Combined bathroom: toilet and bathroom are located in the same room. A Khrushchev-era bathroom is usually so small that it cannot accommodate a standard bathtub 150-180 cm long.
In Khrushchev's kitchens, housewives cooked on gas stoves.
Many apartments have a balcony and a storage room, the latter being no different in size from an ordinary room in houses of this type. There are no balconies only in apartments that are located on the first floor of the building.

If we talk about the house in general terms, it has centralized heating, there is no garbage chute and there is no elevator. Such buildings usually have 5 or 7 floors, less often - 9 or 3-4. According to the layout, all apartments in the Khrushchev block face one side, except for the corner ones - their windows face reverse side overlooking the courtyard.

“Khrushchev”, from the point of view of planning, has advantages and disadvantages, but it is impossible to judge them objectively.

Among the advantages of such apartments are noted:

Availability of a balcony and storage room.
Standard layout: small corridor and kitchen, two approximately identical rooms.
A passage room that often borders the kitchen and leads to a second room.
The shared bathroom is another plus. It saves space in the apartment.

The disadvantages of the “Khrushchev” apartment include:

low sound insulation or too thin walls;
Not high ceilings– only 2.55 meters (some buildings have ceilings of 2.70 meters);
a cramped hallway or its literal absence;
small area of the apartment as a whole: a standard two-room apartment in a Khrushchev building has an area of no more than 43, 44, 46 square meters;

small area of the room - bedroom or nursery;
lack of a balcony on the ground floor - there are practically no “Khrushchev” buildings with a loggia on the ground floor;
a walk-through kitchen, which is combined with the living room and is so small that the equipment only fits a gas stove and a short countertop.

"Khrushchevka" can be located in a brick or large panel house.

“Kopeck apartments” may differ slightly in area and layout:

"Book" they call a Khrushchev house with rooms in a row - a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom and a total area of 42-43 square meters. m.
"Tram"– a two-room apartment with an area of almost 47 sq. m and adjacent rooms, one of which is a corner one.

"Improved"– layout without a passage room, separate bathroom and tiny kitchen. The total area of such an apartment is usually 43-45 square meters. meters.
"Butterfly"– an apartment with a kitchen in the middle and two rooms at its edges. The area of such a “Khrushchev” building is usually 46 square meters. meters. It has a separate bathroom almost in the kitchen.

The “book” layout is good because it has adjacent rooms that can easily be combined into one or the entire apartment - into a full-fledged studio. However, the disadvantage of this layout is that no matter what the redevelopment is, one of the rooms will remain a walk-through room. Only if you don’t put up a partition and create a corridor leading to the next room.

Regardless of the “original” layout, the “Khrushchev” can be changed and made functional - to combine rooms or increase the space of one of them.

Redevelopment options

The great advantage of a “Khrushchev” apartment is that it is easy to redesign: “move” walls or combine rooms to create more space. At least visually. Internal walls or the partitions in the “Khrushchev” are not load-bearing, which means they can be removed and the space of the room can be changed in agreement with government agencies.

Redevelopment of a Khrushchev building begins not only with the desire of the owner to remodel it, but also with obtaining permission for this procedure from the state. It is easy to obtain, provided that the living rooms and kitchen remain in their places, only the location of the walls themselves will change. Once the state gives the go-ahead to change the configuration of the space, we can begin.

Option #1

All Khrushchev apartments have small kitchens and bathrooms. One of the solutions that redevelopment can provide is increasing the kitchen area. Owners often remove the wall between the kitchen and next room(usually it is a walk-through) and create modern kitchen-living rooms.

Classic “Khrushchev” kitchen 5 sq. m becomes a spacious living room with a cooking area with a total area of up to 23 square meters, if the walk-through room is completely given over to the hall.

Such an apartment can be called a euro-“one-room apartment”: housing with an isolated full bedroom and a spacious kitchen-living room. The resulting “one-room apartment” is attractive because it becomes more spacious - the “extra” wall disappears, and additional space is freed up for furniture.

Option No. 2

A modest two-room apartment can be turned into a full-fledged studio if you completely remove internal partitions. With the exception of the bathroom - bath and toilet, these two rooms need insulation.

A modern studio can be zoned– divide by functional areas using partitions or cosmetic repairs. Owners often use these two combinations: they create artificial thin walls between the sleeping area and the relaxation area - the living room. They “play” with the shade of the walls and the material of the floor: they lay tiles in the hallway and kitchen, and laminate in the living room and bedroom. This technique not only divides the space, but also visually expands it.

A studio apartment is suitable for a young family without children or a couple who prefer one large area together with small but isolated rooms. However, such a redevelopment is not suitable for a family with at least one child.

Option #3

Next option redevelopment of the “Khrushchev” implies moving the walls and preserving 2 isolated rooms. For example, you can expand the kitchen area from 5 square meters to 15 square meters (more or less, depending on the area of the apartment and the location of the rooms). To do this, you will have to demolish the existing wall and build a new one in a new place, moving its boundaries.

Option No. 4

The “improved” layout of a 2-room “Khrushchev” apartment can be made even more functional if you combine the kitchen with a walk-through room and divide the larger room in half. This redevelopment is suitable for a family with one child who likes to receive guests. And those will have a place to stay - in a spacious hall with a dining table.

Zoning

Regardless of how large-scale the redevelopment was in the “Khrushchev”, it is still possible and necessary to use zoning techniques.

Zoning the kitchen-living room

If the walk-through room and the kitchen have become a single space, it’s time to divide it – visually. In the cooking area, equip a classic kitchen. If the width of the wall along which the cooking area will be located is not enough, extend it to a perpendicular wall and place it in a counter.

Thus, the rack will divide two functional areas both visually and in reality.

If the area of the kitchen-living room remains small even after planning, a countertop can be replaced with a full-fledged one dinner table. You can separate the cooking area from the living room with a sofa if you install it with its back against the wall along which the countertop with oven and stove runs. Or place a thin partition made of metal, glass, or wood between them. Install a shelving unit with shelves up to the ceiling. Or you can abandon this idea altogether and visually divide the kitchen-living room with the color and texture of finishing materials.

Good decision– place in the cooking area floor tiles , in the living room - laminate or parquet. The texture of the floor will already divide the two combined rooms, even if the color of the walls in them is not different.

Living room zoning

If during the redevelopment of the “Khrushchev” building the number of rooms remained the same, and it was decided to give one of them as a living room-bedroom, then zoning cannot be avoided. Let’s say a family with children lives in such an apartment; the children were given a larger room, and the parents settled in the living room.

One solution is to divide the room with a thin partition., “hide” the double bed from prying eyes in the back of the room, near the window. In the area closer to the door, place a small sofa and dressing table, hang the TV and storage items on the wall, thereby maintaining free space for movement.

To get even more space in a Khrushchev apartment, you can choose a folding sofa instead of a bed and leave the room unchanged. During the day it will be a living room and receive guests; at night it will become a full-fledged bedroom with a disassembled sofa instead of a bed.

If parents are not ready to sacrifice a full bed in the name of preserving free space, they will especially like the following solution. In a small bedroom-living room you can install a folding bed, which during the day is “retracted” into the wall bed, and in the evening “reclines” to form a full-fledged sleeping place.

Popular styles

Choosing an interior design for a small-sized Khrushchev apartment is another headache for the owner.

High tech

Modern interior solution, which is based on technological innovation, high functionality and prestige in the current interpretation. High-tech is characterized by plastic, glass and metal in furniture and decoration materials. If we talk about colors, they are calm, muted and monochromatic - white, black, all shades of beige and gray.

This interior style uses suspended ceiling, but in a “Khrushchev” it may be inappropriate - the ceilings in the apartment are already low, and such a design will make them even lower.

Special attention It’s better to focus on the walls. Turn one of them into an accent one: decorate it with plastic, wood, stone or other panels. The accent will be created by contrasting wallpapers, but not colorful ones - they are of no use in high-tech.

Scandinavian

Remember the Ikea store with rational and, at first glance, simple options furnishings. This is the Scandinavian style. It is distinguished by its environmental friendliness - furniture and finishing materials, practicality - many hanging and multifunctional structures for storage.

The Scandinavian interior is dominated by light shades - white and beige, gray and brown. The emphasis is often on details - textiles and accessories.

Empire style

Luxurious style in an interior characterized by large areas both rooms and windows, doors, high ceilings. Empire style is unlikely to be suitable for decorating a “Khrushchev” building, but some of its elements can be introduced into the decoration of your home. For example, ornaments: in furniture upholstery or on kitchen facades, in textiles or on a wall, but only one. An accent wall with royal-style patterns would be appropriate in a classic interior, which we will talk about later.

Classical

Classics are appropriate for “Khrushchev” - laconic furniture made of wood with elements natural stone, discreet shades and textiles in a single range. A classic interior is not only beautiful, but also practical.

IN small bedroom or in the corridor of a “Khrushchev” building you can install tall cabinets– up to the ceiling, with facades in the color of the walls. They will not overload the already cramped space and will accommodate the maximum possible. If we talk about the color of furniture fronts, give preference to light shades - beige, white, light brown, gray, olive. Dark colors save for details - frames, chair frames and small bookcase or a rack, if there is room for it.

For the present classic interior stucco is typical. But in “Khrushchev” buildings it is unlikely to be appropriate. Maximum – ceiling plinth and provided that the ceiling in the house is at least 2.70 m.

Country

It is dominated by natural shades - brown, green, olive, yellow.

It could be something like this French Provence with aged furniture or American style - comfortable furniture, abundance of natural materials in decoration.

Room decoration

The standard design of rooms in a Khrushchev building is a European renovation with functional cabinet furniture. Regardless of whether it is an economy class renovation or an expensive designer one, it is easy to make a small apartment stylish - just choose the same style for all rooms in the house.

Kitchen. In a standard “Khrushchev” kitchen, 5-6 square meters will only fit kitchen set. To make it even more functional, choose wall cabinets that go up to the ceiling - they will fit more dishes and kitchen utensils.

If the kitchen and living room occupy one room, then this is a great opportunity to make the interior even more stylish. The first rule is a single style and a single color scheme for the room. Light shades of walls and furniture will visually make it more spacious and lighter, and will be especially useful if the ceilings in the house are low - 2.55 m.

For a modest kitchen-living room, Provence is especially suitable - a rustic style with an abundance of wooden elements. Light wooden facades kitchens can match the dining table in shade and material. The contrast will be created by a common luxurious chandelier, masonry in the cooking area and checkered textiles.

Bedroom. The square footage of an ordinary “Khrushchev” bedroom can vary - from 8-9 to 19 square meters. m. If the room is small but isolated, it is worth placing a full bed in it. A good night's sleep is more important than any interior madness, so give preference to a bed instead of a sofa.

Storage space can be organized along one of the walls or in a niche of the room - install a wardrobe up to the ceiling. Even in a modest bedroom of 9 square meters there is room for a double bed and a closet covering the entire wall. Dressing table can be replaced with a functional headboard or hanging shelves above the head or on the sides.

Children's room. It is usually reserved for the most large room. To save free space in the nursery, do not neglect wall cabinets– they are convenient for storing things that are used infrequently.

Required element children's bed: full-size, design bed or ottoman. And a wardrobe, preferably a wardrobe, so that the child can find his things on his own. For the nursery, choose calm shades, leaving bright ones for accents - interior details or toys.

If two children are accommodated in one room, then choose bunk bed: it will save space for games and activities, and maybe other furniture - desk, rack for books and toys.

Often, repairs and redevelopment in “Khrushchev” buildings begin at the moment when it becomes impossible to live in the apartment: communications, floors and walls are worn out. The latter may not be able to withstand cosmetic repairs, and the idea of redevelopment arises.

Don't be afraid of redevelopment. It will allow you to increase the space of the corridor or bathroom if you sacrifice 2-3 square meters of another part of the apartment - one of the living rooms or the kitchen. With the help of redevelopment, it is easy to enlarge the kitchen if you combine it with a walk-through room. Or keep two isolated rooms, but reduce the area of one of them for the sake of the kitchen.

Design of two room apartment in Khrushchev remains a hot topic for many families. Built in the distant 50-60s of the last century, houses with small adjacent rooms and a combined bathroom remain the main living space for millions of people. With small areas, you 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 house)" or design project " Two-roomed flat(45 sq. m., Khrushchev building)” are still very much in demand and popular.

The concept of “Khrushchev” has long been used by Russians. In the old days, such standard houses made a real housing revolution, tearing millions of people out of hostels and communal apartments. If in those distant years getting such an apartment was a dream, then in our time, taking into account the improvement in the quality of life, a lot of problems arise with such housing.

Modern interior of an old Khrushchev building

How are these similar apartments characterized? 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 square meters. m, a small hallway and a bathroom combined with a toilet. The total area is 40-46 square meters. 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 small balcony. The thickness of the internal main 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 improve the comfort of their stay. Design projects for two-room apartments (Khrushchev), in principle, are possible in several ways to change 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, i.e. demolition of all interior walls with the creation of a single space. This path is complicated by the need to coordinate the plan with the relevant authorities, which is quite difficult to do.

The second option is a partial reconstruction with the removal 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 done without restructuring, but using modern trends and styles.

What can you come up with without redevelopment?

If redevelopment of the apartment is unavailable for some reason, then elegant solutions can be found without changing the boundaries of the interior spaces. Photos of the design of a two-room apartment in Khrushchev can be easily found on the Internet in large quantities, for every taste. Main stream - visual increase room volume. You can focus on some options:

Additional usable area can be obtained by constructing some elements from plasterboard. The basis is made up of decorative niches, shelves, racks, and elements located at different levels.
Increasing the size of window and doorways, formation of openings arched type allow for a visual increase in volume by almost a quarter.
Sliding doors and partitions allow you 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.

Using sliding doors

Panoramic windows in the apartment to expand space and light

Sometimes, to make a space seem larger, you simply need to renovate it. two-room Khrushchev house, and it is absolutely not necessary to engage in redevelopment. That's why you should also pay attention to the following elements:

Color of walls and furniture. Dark colors visually reduce space and absorb light. Try to use light shades. Yes, this step has irrefutable disadvantages: you will have to clean it regularly, because dirt is very noticeable on light-colored surfaces. Nevertheless, this solution is one of the most popular among residents.
Do a general cleaning - as part of the renovation, get rid of those things that you use less than once a week. Place them in a storage unit 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 cell: by 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 renovations in a 2-room Khrushchev house, focus on 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 redesign your apartment to meet the given standards, but you can learn useful ideas, like beds and furniture built into the walls, will definitely work.

Some design tricks

Significant role in the visual expansion of space and creating the effect of lightness small apartment plays the right combination colors, patterns and materials for finishing walls, floors and ceilings. The design of a two-room apartment in Khrushchev can be based on some tricks that designers and interior design professionals sometimes use:

Pastel colors with a predominance of light shades create the desired visual effect, while bright and intense color provides a visual compression effect.
For small rooms fits small color drawing, ornament.
The height of the room visually increases with a white or close-to-white ceiling. You can use stretch ceilings.
The effect of height is provided by a multi-level plasterboard ceiling design. Correct selection lighting fixtures allows you to enhance the effect.
The floor covering can be light or colored, but must match the overall color palette room interior. Color flooring is also capable of visually pushing walls apart.
Selection of furniture - important element. The design of a two-room apartment in Khrushchev implies minimizing the number of items. They should be matched to general design. Best for small rooms folding tables, sofas sliding type, multifunctional chests of drawers.
Photo wallpapers have somewhat gone out of fashion, but with their making the right choice you can ensure the airiness and visual boundlessness of the room.
Curtains on the windows complement the overall impression of the interior. In small rooms you should not hang bulky curtains, especially dark shades. It is best to use light, light-colored fabrics color range.

Preparation for redevelopment

As a rule, when planning 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 completed renovations. On the other hand, it kills the individuality of the apartment, limiting the space for maneuver.

The best way to avoid this is to remodel, but first you need to draw up a floor plan. The layout of a 2-room Khrushchev house includes:

electrical wiring diagram;
number and location of sockets;
footage of rooms;
wall thickness;
location of water pipes.

Of course, there are companies that can organize comprehensive analysis your apartment, but it will be more profitable to separately coordinate the project with an electrician and plumber by ordering wiring diagrams.

Using redevelopment

One of the most common design options for a small apartment is to combine a kitchen and a room. Having created a sufficiently large 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 of three zones in a room: kitchen, dining room and lounge (receiving guests).

Some may be noted general rules zoning of an apartment in Khrushchev:

Each family member should have a dedicated personal area. In this case, the area of such a zone, as a rule, does not matter.
When combining a living room with a kitchen, the working area must be clearly marked out and conditionally fenced off. kitchen area with stove and sink, kitchen cabinets and a refrigerator.
Quite often, such areas are distinguished as: an office, a relaxation area with a TV and the opportunity to listen to music, a comfortable chair or sofa, a computer place, etc. When erecting fences, you should remember that they should be light and removable. Don't get carried away with stationary partitions.
The following can be used as demarcation elements: a bar counter, a sofa, a table, a shelving unit, or a prefabricated structure of multi-level shelves. Conditional zoning is carried out by changing the level of the floor or ceiling, using different colors. An openwork or cellular design with curly threads through it looks elegant. houseplants. Kitchen work zone often stands out additional lighting, for which spotlights are installed.

Zoning with a multi-level ceiling

Thread curtains - wisely zoning the space

When redeveloping a Khrushchev building, it is usually convenient to get rid of the wall separating 2 adjacent rooms, while best option maintain a distinction between them - filament curtains(example in the photo). Unlike a thick wall, such a curtain takes up less space, allows light to pass through and Fresh air, and most importantly, it can be removed at any time, making the room visually larger. This item decor will allow you to create an individual fashion design: beautiful appearance combined with the practicality inherent in modern styles.

Minimalism is the best style for small apartments

Often, the interior style requires room decor, which takes up a lot of space - which cannot be said about minimalism! This option encourages in every possible way to minimize the number of items in the apartment, which is just right for the design of a Khrushchev apartment with 2 adjacent rooms (examples in the photo below).

The color scheme is usually light - this visually expands the space and has a positive effect on psychological condition person. The most popular shades are white, blue, beige, etc.

Various design solutions

Exist various projects redevelopment of a small-sized Khrushchev building. One of these projects was called an office apartment. In this case, a large room, hallway and kitchen are combined into one fairly spacious room. The small room is completely isolated and turns into a bedroom (there is also a wardrobe here). IN big room a small office clearly stands out, which is best separated by a transparent sliding partition, so that, if necessary, merge into a single space. The zones are marked: the working kitchen area and the dining room.

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

Next possible variant- project “Apartment for three”. In this project, the large room is also connected to the hallway, but the wardrobe is not transferred to the bedroom. The kitchen is separated from the room by a sliding partition, and the refrigerator and electric stove move into a niche. The partition between the rooms is moved by 12-16 cm towards a slight reduction in the size of the bedroom. Such options can also be found illustrative confirmation.

The third possible option is the formation of isolated rooms. This option is needed to create two bedrooms separated from each other. In this case, a small corridor is created between the rooms, where another thin partition with a door is installed. The extended 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.

What is not allowed during reconstruction

Redevelopment of a small-sized apartment allows you to provide required design and arrange the premises as needed. However, when carrying out work, the following prohibitions should be taken into account:

it is impossible to remove or damage the integrity of 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 block access to gas stove or oven, as well as carry it yourself;
It is not recommended to change the installation location of the toilet.

A two-room apartment in Khrushchev, of course, is not suitable for its dimensions, but it can also be reconstructed, which will make it possible to create modern design. Such an apartment can be expanded visually, creating a favorable effect without reconstruction, but you can also achieve an increase in living space if you carry out redevelopment.

I like

Most of the apartments on the secondary market are heritage Soviet era, Khrushchev’s buildings are the crown of a bygone era. Having decided to update the interior of a 2-room Khrushchev apartment, it will most likely turn out that a complete renovation is necessary. Leveling the walls, insulating the floor, installing partitions, possibly new doorways. Equally important is modernization engineering systems. Replacement may require electrical wiring and pipes, which are important to properly integrate into the interior.

As a rule, one of the rooms is decorated as a nursery or living room. If a married couple lives in an apartment with a child over 6 years old, it is worth arranging a separate space for him. In this case, the larger room will serve as a bedroom and living room. This is also where most of the clothes and other things will be stored.

If you have the opportunity to place a wardrobe in the hallway, be sure to take advantage of it. To make the living room space seem more spacious, massive cabinets should be hidden. How to do it? Firstly, you can order models with mirror surfaces. Secondly, the color of the furniture can be matched to the color of the wall decoration. Thirdly, storage niches can be built from MDF panels to the full height of the ceiling, use sliding doors, and then paint the entire structure the same color as the walls. The joints can be hidden using molding.

Khrushchevka has a small area. A two-room apartment is generally no more than 30 square meters. m.s. small kitchen, a narrow corridor and a combined bathroom. Redevelopment of a 2-room Khrushchev house with such initial parameters is not an easy task, but in the end nondescript apartment will be transformed into quite suitable housing. Apartments in houses of typical Khrushchev series 1-510, 1-511, 1-477, 1-515 are characterized by rather low ceilings, they do not exceed 2.5 meters. Basically, Khrushchev houses have non-insulated living spaces, a balcony, and walls made of lightweight materials.

Advantages and disadvantages of housing

The pros and cons are as follows:

Disadvantages of apartments. In 1957, Khrushchev decided to optimize the construction process and make it quick to quickly provide citizens with their own housing. Mass construction of panel and brick houses With simple layouts. Small area was conceived to make houses more compact, of which many needed to be built. The apartments have poor sound insulation, small area, cramped utility rooms, low ceilings. They especially saved on the kitchen area; in some versions it is no more than 4.5 meters.
Advantages of Khrushchev. At one time, large areas of cities were built up with them, which now became their center. They are not demolished everywhere. They can be given a presentable appearance. The compactness of the house can also be considered an advantage. There are no elevators, multi-story buildings, or the feeling of a huge beehive. Not everyone likes high altitudes modern houses, in which you may never recognize your neighbors by sight.

Types of premises arrangement

Despite the typicality, such apartments can have several options for the location of living spaces.

"Trailer" layout. At the entrance - small corridor, against front door there is an entrance to a large room. From it at the end there is an entrance to a room of a smaller area. The windows overlook different sides Houses. The bathroom and small kitchen are accessible from the corridor.
Layout "vest". The windows of this Khrushchev-era building face one side. Near the entrance there is an adjacent bathroom and the entrance to a large room. The small kitchen is separated from the “hall” by a small wall. The bedroom is much smaller in size, but there is a luxurious storage room.
Isolated layout. Such apartments are less common. They usually have a separate bathroom and two separate rooms. The kitchen is very small, smaller than the previous options.

Coordination of redevelopment

All types of layout of a 2-room Khrushchev house can be improved, while keeping in mind the nuances of approvals and prohibitions.

The convenience of Khrushchev is that a load-bearing wall separates the apartments, and all partitions are not load-bearing. This means they are easier to demolish. There are no load-bearing walls in a small brick building, there are only beams. Changes are usually only agreed upon if they affect load-bearing walls, but there are some difficulties with the change options.

There are problems with remodeling the bathroom. They want to expand the cramped bathroom into a hallway or kitchen space. If the bathroom is separate, it would be logical to make it combined. Restrictions on redevelopment are reflected in clause 3.8. SaNPiN 2.1.2.2645-10 and clause 9.25 SP 54.13330.2016. The document explains that it is forbidden to enlarge bathrooms at the expense of rooms and the kitchen. They can be made wider by using non-residential space, which includes: a storage room, a corridor, a built-in closet.
