Even Khrushchev-era apartments can be transformed into cozy, fashionable and comfortable housing.
How to do this was explained by Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti and designer.
Redevelopment
Numerous walls eat up the necessary space and leave no room for maneuver. To avoid this, you should think about how to plan your living space.
You can combine the kitchen with the living room, or make one room out of two rooms, separating them with a screen, or you can even knock down all the walls to end up with a studio apartment with a dining area, cooking area, relaxation area, etc.
But before implementing any drastic changes, coordinate everything you have planned with the authorized persons.
Light tones
Dark shades narrow the space, so think about the color scheme in advance. Take a closer look at Scandinavian interiors, where white is the predominant color, or use more “interesting” shades.
Among them are beige, coffee with milk, nude tones, pastel, etc.
To avoid turning the rooms into hospital wards, buy bright furniture. Accents in the interior can be set with the help of decor and textiles.
Multifunctional or compact furniture
In order to save square meters in a one-room apartment, you can install a bed that "hides" in a closet during the day, and in the kitchen - folding tables and chairs. For a family with children, a combination of a table, closet and bed on the second floor will certainly come in handy.
