Standard Khrushchev implies a small hallway, which can be a problem for the implementation of original design solutions. A small area limits the means used, forcing you to pick up what you have, and not what you want. However, even in such a difficult situation, do not rush to abandon a simple interior.
Design features
It is difficult for many to imagine how it is possible to perform something interesting in a strictly limited space (often 3-4 square meters). But, as they say, nothing is impossible. Designers offer unusual solutions for rooms of this type. Start by making a plan. It marks the location of furniture, comments and wishes for exterior decoration.
But still it is worth remembering the main features of the design of the corridor in Khrushchev:
- It is necessary to use building materials that will allow you to achieve a visual increase in the room.
- Try to choose light lighting with a white or blue tint.
- For ceilings, spot lighting is suitable.
- Wall-mounted small sizes will also look good in the interior.
- Mirror inserts on ceilings or walls. The ceiling can be completely mirrored.
- Combining lighting will also help achieve the desired effect in combination with light wallpaper (white, beige, cream).
- Avoid materials with bright colors and large patterns.
- No need to mount suspended multi-level structures, otherwise the room will be low.
- If you do not have wallpaper, but paint, paint the walls and ceilings in one shade.
- Choose small pieces of furniture.
Built-in structures look good, floor finishing can be any. If it is taken out of the hallway towards the kitchen, the dimensions of the corridor will appear larger. Eliminate inappropriate materials. We are talking about drywall, wall panels made of plastic or wood, plaster and piece stones. Ideally, you should stop at painting or wallpapering on a non-woven or vinyl basis. Photos of finished designs can be found on the Internet.
Floor coverings
When choosing a floor, pay attention to properties such as durability, moisture resistance and ease of maintenance. They are fully consistent with ceramic tiles, linoleum and laminate, which have a high strength class. Another type that is still considered a novelty in our building materials market is PVC tile. They have the same properties and different designs as regular tiles, but are lighter in weight and warm to the touch.
Laminate looks stylish, but high-strength samples are expensive. Therefore, to create an original design, combinations are increasingly being used - in the area near the door, where it is damp and dirty, they lay tiles, and on the rest of the area - laminate boards. For a corridor in a house with an old layout, little material is needed, so you can purchase a high-quality coating without a significant impact on the budget and transform the floor beyond recognition.
