Redesigning a Khrushchyovka: How It Was Done

Recently we told about the interior of a trashy apartment based on a project by design studio In My Box, and today we'll go into more detail about the redesign. The building where this apartment is located is a Khrushchyovka experimental series. The rooms there are quite spacious, but the kitchen and bathroom remain tight. Designers came up with a way to increase the number of rooms in the apartment and create a comfortable and functional interior. We tell you the details.

Reduced the Living Room

To highlight another room in the apartment, designers had to sacrifice some area of the living room. However, since there was more than enough space, the interior did not suffer and became even cozier. By the way, to prevent the room from looking cramped, they separated the living room from the hallway with a transparent mesh partition. Visually it divides the space without adding a feeling of enclosed area.

Created a Study

After reducing the living room, an additional small room appeared in the apartment. It's only 9.5 square meters, which is not enough for much space, so they set up a small office cubicle here.

Separated the Kitchen from the Living Room

Since gas was installed in the kitchen, it couldn't be merged with the living room. Designers installed a sliding glass partition — when open, it creates the impression of a unified space.

Placed a Wardrobe in the Bedroom

The bedroom area is nearly 18 square meters. That was more than enough to fit a double bed and a small wardrobe in the form of a cube. All main clothing was placed here (since there's not much space in the hallway, just one closet). On the outside of the cube, they installed a makeup table and hung a mirror with lighting.

What was the result?
