Repair in a two-room Khrushchev for 800 tr. + before and after photos

general information

The clients are a young childless couple living in Nizhny Novgorod. The old Khrushchev building with an area of ​​40 square meters has two rooms with low ceilings (2.5 meters) and one combined bathroom. Clients dreamed of a cozy and bright interior in a Scandinavian style, but with expressive details.

Layout

The walls were not tolerated and no redevelopment was carried out. The kitchen remained small, only 5 square meters. But the designer managed to place a convenient cooking area, a bedroom, a living room and a home office, as well as storage systems in the apartment.

Kitchen

Maria used a whole arsenal of techniques to arrange everything she needed in the tiny kitchen. Kitchen wall cabinets were chosen high, up to the ceiling: they fit all the dishes. Instead of a table, a bar counter with a beveled corner was installed - it connects to the windowsill and the countertop for cooking, thereby creating an integral composition.

Above the dining area are open shelves for decor and kitchen utensils. The stove was replaced with an oven and a two-burner hob.

Ornamented tiles and washable paint were used for the walls. Practical tiles were laid on the floor.

Living room

The large room has plenty of natural light due to the two windows. The living room is designed for relaxation - there is a soft sofa for watching TV, a library with open shelves for books, a reading area in the form of a comfortable armchair.

Living room interior looks laconic and stylish not only thanks to the furniture, but also to the color scheme: gray-turquoise walls set the mood, and white furniture and beige laminate add light.

Bedroom with work area

The bedroom walls are painted deep blue. They add coziness and serve as a perfect backdrop for discreet furniture. The room has a place to sleep and work: in the corner there is a desktop with a stationary computer. The bedside table is hinged, it adds airiness to the atmosphere.

There was almost no budget for the decor, but the designer created an unusual composition from inexpensive frames, painting them in gold.

Hallway

Open racks for storing outerwear and shoes were placed in the corridor: they were purchased at IKEA. Tiles were laid on the floor, which continues into the kitchen, visually not "breaking" the tight space.

Bathroom

Before the repair, the toilet was located close to the washing machine and it was inconvenient to use it. It was moved to the place of the sink, and a rectangular sink with a special siphon was placed above the washing machine.

A small bathroom was decorated with white tiles, which made the room seem more spacious. A closed storage cabinet was hung over the toilet.
