How to correctly decorate a loft-style interior in Khrushchev?

Design features

For the best performance of an industrial style, several characteristics are taken into account:

• For the decoration of the apartment, natural materials are used in the form of red or white bricks, plain concrete and natural wood.
• Minimalistic features are traced in the design, deliberate rudeness, brutality and the absence of luxurious decorative details are welcomed.
• When renovating an apartment in a panel house, difficulties may arise during redevelopment and zoning, as there are almost no partitions in the loft-style interior. Cladding of different colors or the installation of light and almost invisible structures will help with the problem of delimiting space.

Kitchen

The loft often uses an achromatic color palette, which is diluted with blotches in the form of red brickwork, rust or wood.

Tiles and porcelain stoneware with imitation of gray stone look great on the kitchen floor. Also, the plane can be laid out with a parquet board, which has an unprocessed look, or linoleum can be laid.

The facade of the kitchen unit is mainly made of roughly processed wood, covered with neutral enamel or pasted over with a special metallized film. The kitchen made of stone veneer looks interesting.

It is better to equip the dining area with a wooden table with chairs. A popular solution is folding models, structures with a stone countertop and a metal frame. If a bar counter is installed in the loft-style kitchen, it can be supplemented with high chairs made of plastic or wood.

Lamps with a simplified and slightly untidy design will help to organize lighting in the interior. Devices in the form of pendant lamps with oval or square metal shades, as well as ordinary glass bulbs on cords, will perfectly fit into an industrial setting.

A variety of jars, plates, posters with drawings or graffiti are used as a decor for the kitchen space, supporting the general style of the room.

The kitchen can accommodate both new and modern and old, rare household appliances. All devices are made in metallic colors. Above the hob, it is appropriate to install a hood with open outlet pipes to make the industrial interior more colorful.

Hallway and corridor

To decorate the corridor, designers prefer neutral gray, brown, terracotta palette or classic white with black splashes.

The walls can be laid out with white or red brickwork, pasted over with imitation brick wallpaper, applied in the form of plaster, concrete or granite chips. Parquet boards, laminate or stone tiles are most often laid on the floor. All materials must be natural, reliable and practical.

Wooden elements such as furniture and accessories will add coziness and warmth to a room with a cold cladding. The tree in the loft is painted or artificially aged.

In a corridor with a stretch ceiling, chrome lamps will look great.

Furniture items in the corridor have a smooth texture and a minimal amount of decor. The room has a rack or wardrobe for outerwear, a shelf or a shoe cabinet.

It is possible to add a special touch to the loft-style atmosphere by using an old non-working bicycle suspended on the wall.

Empty picture frames, records, discs or retro posters will help you to embody the spirit of the past.

Living room

In order for the interior of the living room in Khrushchev to match the loft style as much as possible, almost always one accent wall in the room is decorated with brick or its imitation. The rest of the planes are finished with concrete plaster or painted. The floor in the hall can be laid with wooden planks or have a stone-styled floor. In a small room, light, dark tones and different textures are combined.

The industrial design combines modern furnishings with antique pieces. Glass, metal, wood or plastic objects are installed here. Upholstered furniture upholstered in leather or suede has a truly spectacular look.

It is appropriate to furnish the seating area with a sofa with a pouf or an armchair and a small coffee table with a wooden table top and a metal frame. Shelving and hanging open shelves will ideally fit into the hall of Khrushchev. The style of retro items in the form of a rocking chair, a chest and other things with noticeable scuffs will be even more emphasized.

Paintings are an important detail in the loft-style living room. Brick walls are decorated with large-format abstract canvases, graphic drawings, drawings or graffiti. An interesting design technique would be to put a large painting on the floor. The texture of the canvas deserves special attention; images on canvas or embossed paper will look best.

Bedroom

In a small bedroom in a loft-style Khrushchev, a monochromatic neutral and light finish is used, which gives the room more coziness and spaciousness. Such an interior can be diversified with brighter accents of blue, purple, yellow, green or lilac.

The main element of the room is the bed. The structure can have a wooden frame or metal parts with an artificial aging effect.

In order to transform the space and make it cozy, a variety of accessories and textiles are used. For example, several decorative pillows are placed on the bed, and a large vase of flowers is placed on the floor. Too austere loft-style bedroom interior is also appropriate to dilute with an electric fireplace.

One accent wall, left unprocessed, will help to achieve full compliance with the urbanistic style of a loft.

You can expand the bedroom space in Khrushchev by installing a sliding wardrobe with a mirrored facade or equipping a dressing room with glossy doors.

Bathroom

Loft-style bathroom cladding uses brickwork, embossed plaster, porcelain stoneware with metal imitation, boar tiles, natural wood or wood-like tiles. An excellent solution would be flat concrete surfaces.

A shower room, sink, countertop or glass shelves with a metal base will allow you to creatively complement the interior. Glass elements will fill the room with air and make it more spacious.

A washbasin can act as an accent. Glass, wood or even steel are used in the manufacture of the product. The device is placed on a standard cabinet or an unusual console and stand is selected.

To illuminate the bathroom in Khrushchev, lamps with a rail mechanism are suitable. The most convenient place for a light fixture mounted on a bar is the area above the washbasin.

The interior is decorated with designer collectible mirrors, original radiators, unusual posters and rugs with inscriptions. The elements in the form of factory mechanisms and gears will look interesting.
