Make a beautiful and ergonomic kitchen on six, or even on four square meters difficult, but you can. We show how to accommodate everything you need and not suffocate from the grindiness.
The deficit of the place should not be misleading: designers have functional solutions for any spaces. Specialist can and not invite if, thinking, Where to put a refrigerator on a small kitchen, you scrupulously study the photos and video of ready-made interiors, draw up the layout until the centimeter and take into account the advice of those who have already been engaged in the arrangement of small apartments.
Little Kitchen Design in Khrushchev with Refrigerator: Where to Start
To understand how to locate furniture and equipment, decide on the necessary minimum of things.
The basic filling of any modern kitchen is as follows:
- Lockers for storing bulk products and dishes,
- stove or cooking surface
- hood
- sink,
- refrigerator,
- table and chairs.
Let's not forget that the kitchens in the Soviet five-story buildings are "included" with a gas column, which warms water for household needs. And this is more minus several dozen useful centimeters on the wall.
In addition, it is often carrying a washing machine, because it does not fit in the bathroom. So, under it you need to reserve the "extra" square meter.
You can also add:
- oven
- dishwasher
- Desktop technique like microwaves, multicookers, kettle, toaster, etc.
Analyze that from this you really need, and what will be used once a year and in vain to occupy a place. From unnecessary to refuse, and everything that has entered your short list, if possible, choose not standard parameters, but reduced.
True, find a shallow refrigerator is either problematic or it will be very expensive. It is much easier to meet the unit in the area of 55 cm. But if you are not confused that it will be written, you can purchase the rest of the technique with a depth of 40 cm instead of 60 and the cabinets and countertops. You will win 20 cm on the floor, and it is decent.
But the refrigerator can be bought narrow - 40 cm on the door, and not standard 60. And if it is still close to the facades from the MDF, it will be similar to the usual penalty. Space from above Use rationally: Whether the shelves for things that rarely take out, and if the height is small, then remove the microwave there.
Where to put a refrigerator in a small kitchen: types of planning
Minibupha.
The placement of furniture depends on the number of cabinets, and it is from the family composition and its preferences. Those who live alone may have the most compact option - two or three mounted modules and a built-in cooling chamber.
On the first photo, it, oddly enough, is located right under the stove, and the latter is covered with a wooden panel that executes the function of the working table. On the second, the stove is not at all. Perhaps in one of the cabinets hidden an oven or microwave - for quick cooking or heating of food.
Linear layout
There are less radical ways of saving space - a full, but small headset and a refrigerator built along one of the walls.
Length and width of the room in Khrushchev will not allow much to be accelerated with filling, but one-two people are enough. At least because it is visually easy to pay attention: it is all large and heavy items for viewing items occupy a minimum area.
But here it is necessary to take into account the important nuance: the close side of the electric, and even the metal device with washing is undesirable. From constant splashes in wiring, a closure may occur, and on the side surface - to go rust. Therefore, seriously think about the protective panel or the plasterboard partition.
Corner layout
One of the most popular in small-sized apartments. You can play with it by choosing the most comfortable option.
Place the fridge can be at the entrance or near the window.
The device makes sense to put at the door if you plan to equip the table top at the windows to increase the work area, transfer the car wash or make a dinner table. By the way, then the layout will already, rather, P-shaped than the corner.
In the photo below, the useful area is not involved at all 100%: the worktop can be built in two places: on the windowsill and along the wall on the contrary. Nevertheless, the kitchen turned out to be enjoyable and on the view not cluttered (in many ways it was achieved due to the color palette).
And for comparison - almost the same placement of furniture, but more functional. True, the owners of the apartment had to sacrifice the size of the table.
The refrigerator next to the window will not give the maximum to use the outer wall, but the miniature table with stools will go there.
But in the far corner it looks most organically, visually lifting the ceiling, and nothing presses with its impressive forms at the entrance.
To enlarge the kitchen, the inhabitants of our country often demolish partitions between the living room or the balcony. And in the case when you lay one door and cut the other, a niche is formed somewhere, this can only be rejected, because there is no better place for cumbersome technique.
Remember that when your initiative involves disassembling the bearing walls and the transfer of communications, you need to get a permit in advance to this permission in BTI and order a project.
There are other options for redeveloping premises when the already compact kitchen moves to a more modest area. An interesting example of how it can be done comfortable on several squares without refusing to the technical benefits of civilization, look in the video.
