Soviet small-sized apartment is not a sentence, but a polygon for creative. Even in the tiny entrance zone you can pump ergonomics and style and radically transform it.
Initially, no design in the hallways did not exist in Khrushchev. These were close dark rooms in the area of several "squares", where at best there was nothing but polished in the wardrobe, and in the worst - the incredible amount of trash was harvested.
But everything has changed with the coming of the Internet and the appearance of professional architects and decorators. Now even these ties, as our compatriots call them, they got the opportunity for transformation.
Cargo repair in Khrushchev: materials for finishing and examples with photos
Floor
Rarely who every time shoots shoes, barely crossing the threshold of the house. Both guests, and the owners of the apartment often can be wrapped in a pair of meters from the door: look in the mirror, return for forgotten things. It means that it is necessary to wash this zone, so the coating should not be afraid of moisture.
Whatever the material you choose, dirt should be easily removed from it. In addition, it must be wear-resistant to not be made under heels and heavy objects.
The optimal choice will be a porcelain stoneware or tile, but not necessarily on the entire area of the room - it is enough to lay out a small one, the most dirty patch. And to quickly dry shoes, you can install a warm-alone system.
But, if the repair is budgetary or there are difficulties with the purchase of tiles, and linoleum is suitable. Fortunately, the choice of textures and colors allows you to simulate any modern Material for any interior style. But it is impossible to walk on the studs.
If you got a Khrushchev with a normal wooden floor, try painting it several times. It turns out a very stylish, truly Scandinavian version.
Laminate is suitable if only the joints are treated with wax protecting them from bloating. If you take the material with the labeling "for residential premises", then the class is needed at least 23. And for reliability, it will be better to be higher.
Ceiling
In Khrushchev, it is 2.45-2.6 m, so take care of the visual pulling of the height. Glossy stretch ceilings will help or generally mirror. They reflect light and add scarce volume.
Yes, yes, we know that some designers consider such covers no longer fashionable, but at the same time they urge not to follow blindly trends, but to adapt them to their home.
Register The top of two-level backlit designs is carefully: first, they come out of fashion, and secondly, they may look cumbersome and put pressure.
Often the ceiling is simply painted with white paint, pre-aligning, covered and saving the stellaf to avoid microcracks in the future.
Walls
With them variations Most: wallpaper, painting, brickwork or its imitation, any panels, wood, concrete (for loft style), leather inserts, stone.
The main thing is that the materials are high quality and resistant to abrasion. Usually all the walls are separated equally, since the size of the room does not allow playing with contrasts.
Doors for tiny corridors
Their choice depends on how big you have a family. If you live alone or together with your husband or wife, really do without the doors (except, of course, the bathroom). Expand the openings - and you will be surprised how spacious it was your apartment.
Free aisles between rooms visually facilitate the interior. But it is very important that the premises are decorated in a single style.
If such extremes are not for you, take a look at the transparent or matte door-compartment. The place they do not steal, they will be saved from smells from the kitchen, and buyers do not complain about noise insulation.
You can put ordinary doors, but with glass inserts. And interior walls bordering the hallway, too, at the top of making glass, so that natural light fell.
The simple glass is good because it performs the function of the partition, but it skips the sun's rays and does not hide the overview. And it looks concise and suitable for a brightly decorated room.
Furniture in a small hallway
Furnish There are several squares with a large number of objects. Often, designers are confident that one long closet with deaf sash in such a room will be a failed idea.
They recommend open hangers and snubs under the mirror.
Ideally, if it is transformers: a mirror with a hidden locker or a bench with a built-in drawer, with wicker baskets in cells.
Place for storage Organize under the ceiling. Long closed shelves of neutral colors are suitable. So that they do not clutch the top of the room, do not get carried away - enough and 40-50 cm.
But if you really want, you can make a wardrobe (strict, laconic or more free option - with open corners shelves). Having it along one of the walls, the second or decorate the mirrors, or make a glass to compensate for the lack of space.
In such a closet, it will be placed absolutely everything that is needed: shoes, hangers for clothes, shelves for hats, bags and other accessories. At the same time, the doors will protect against visual climbing, which is especially important for microscopic premises.
Inexpensive, but a decent alternative facades - minimalistic curtains from dense material. They look exquisitely and at the same time cozy.
The shelves and hangers are blocked by heavy curtains not only in order to save. They are used in general everywhere as an interesting designer reception.

Lighting
Solar rays If you fall into this corner, they are not enough. Provide additional bright light sources so that the room does not like the cave. It will take the backlight for mirrors, for paintings (if any), powerful lamps on the ceiling and in the corners.
By the way, the mirror will add shine to the whole wall, because it will reflect not only the interior, but also a glow chandelier and sconce.
Registration
The perfect gamma shades are bright and neutral. But if you managed to well plan lighting, you can choose any colors: gray, blue, lightning, blue, pink.
Thinking How to make a small entrance hall in your Khrushchev, remember that designers are usually against large and catchy elements in close rooms, in particular they do not recommend impressive prints on the walls. Monophonic, light wallpaper is much more acceptable. Photo imagery either do not fit.
But there are successful examples of creating real art objects on an empty wall, thanks to which the interior Looks winning.
Accessories
They are needed to revive the situation, but in a very limited number, so that the feeling of disorder does not arise. Well, if things are interesting, unusual, but not frightened. Massive classic requires large areas.
By the way, the picture, photo in the frame or other decorative Element can hide behind meter, if you attach them to the flap of the shield.
Redevelopment
It can not allow it all (it is not suiced, and it will have to run by instances), but if such an opportunity is, take advantage! Sometimes, slightly spreading the walls bordering the bathroom and room, you can win the missing a couple of meters for a roomy wardrobe.
There are more revolutionary transformations when many walls in the apartment are moving. The hallway is often connected with one of the rooms, forming a spacious living room.
