Designers of Flatforfox Studio skillfully arranged furniture and provided several functional zones to make the space as convenient as possible. Below are three successful variants of kitchen layout in a khrushchyovka.

Variant 1: with maximum appliance set
In one-room apartments of the 1-515 series, the wall between the living room and kitchen is non-load-bearing. Therefore, it's possible to relocate the entrance and use the space functionally.

The result is a P-shaped kitchen layout with maximum appliance set: a 4-burner cooktop, refrigerator, built-in microwave in the upper cabinet, and also a built-in oven and dishwasher. A small dining area was also provided: the windowsill was replaced with a countertop and semi-bar chairs were placed. To avoid moving the radiator, special holes can be made in the countertop for hot air outlet during the heating season.

Variant 2: with a large dining area for 5–6 people
To fit a large dining area on five square meters, it was necessary to abandon the kitchen section and make it minimal. All necessary items were placed in a linear cabinet: refrigerator, oven, built-in microwave and 2-burner cooktop. The reduced version of the cooktop will free up more space on the working surface.

In the dining area, a fold-down table was placed: it doesn't take up much space and does not interfere with cooking. When unfolded, it can accommodate a group of 5–6 people.

Variant 3: with an L-shaped cabinet and dining area
As in the first variant, this layout is possible only if the entrance to the kitchen is made from the room. An L-shaped cabinet and a small round table for 2–3 people would suit a small family. The round shape of the table is ideal for small spaces.

Full-size cooktop, oven, refrigerator, built-in microwave and dishwasher were placed on the kitchen.
