A pumpkin-red hallway, a Marsala-colored kitchen and a bright blue bedroom - the owners of the apartment completely entrusted their three-ruble note to the designer Nadia Zotova, agreed to experiment with color and did not fail: as a result of the repair, they managed to change the boring beige interior in a short time, avoiding large-scale reorganizations.
2. Find a decent alternative to beige
The owner of this two-room apartment dreamed of an interior in beige and brown colors, but designer Elena Simkina proposed a more interesting solution: a delicate blue color for the walls, white for the “carpentry”, and modern furniture and decor as accents. The customer liked the idea of decorating the apartment in a classical style with a French mood - work on the interior has begun!
3. Get rid of communal corridors
The owners of this apartment in an old house wanted to design an interior that would preserve the spirit of the Soviet past, its atmosphere, and stylistically combined with the architecture of the house. Before embarking on the decoration and furnishing, the designers of Studio 3.14 turned the former communal corridors into more functional spaces. So, for example, in the place of the corridor near the bathroom they made a pantry and increased the dressing room in the bedroom.
4. Visually increase the area of the apartment
In a standard two-room apartment of almost 50 square meters, the architect Natalya Medvedeva made a complete redevelopment. They dismantled several walls, reinforced the load-bearing beams with support columns, which they masterfully entered into the interior. As a result, they equipped a spacious kitchen-dining room, living room, separate bedroom and a spacious wardrobe room - it turned out a bright comfortable apartment, which you can only dream of.
5. Set up a loft
You can create a loft not only in the former factory premises. Thanks to the brick wall decoration and the presence of wooden floors, the "steel" became an excellent space for the embodiment of this style.
True, for the arrangement of new modern housing in the "Stalin" professionals from the studio Art B.O.S. I had to carry out a major overhaul. The floors in the house are wooden, the old floor was located on the logs. They had to be replaced and massive boards laid on top of plywood sheets. Old windows were dismantled and double-glazed windows were installed with wooden frames. But the walls, it was decided to leave the "native" (brick 50s). They were simply cleaned and varnished to saturate the color and at the same time protect from dust and external influences. The wall covering looks like real concrete, characteristic of a loft.
6. Design a minimalistic interior
Architect Antonina Sinchugova decided to abandon bizarre decorative solutions and unnecessary things in the interior and create a sense of harmony and peace. Here, simplicity was set initially: customers requested that the apartment be minimalistic.
Thanks to hidden storage systems, minimalistic color scheme and unity in the design of all rooms, a modest one-bedroom apartment looks cozy and spacious.
7. Create a stylish interior and save
Anastasia and her husband considered the apartment in Stalin as temporary housing: the family will soon move to a country house. Therefore, it was decided not to spend a lot of money on the design of the apartment, but also not to compromise, reducing quality for the sake of saving money. The interior is built on contrasts: simple solutions next to complex ones, objects of mass production - next to manual work.
8. Stay true to the classics.
The house on Tverskaya Street, where this dvushka is located, was built in 1939 according to the project of the famous architect Arkady Mordvinov. Indigenous Muscovites, from old memory, call this building “a house under a skirt”: until 1958, it was decorated with a huge statue of a ballerina (sculptor Georgy Motovilov). The townspeople believed that it was the spilled Olga Lepeshinskaya, the ballet prima of the Bolshoi Theater. It was this story that inspired designer Maria Rublev to create a bright, air-filled interior in a classical style with stucco moldings and caissons on the ceiling, openwork ornaments on the doors and large mirrors.
9. To create an old-Moscow atmosphere in the interior
This apartment is located in the metro station "University", an excellent "Stalinist" house of the Moscow State University’s teaching fund, lots of light and air, large windows, panoramic views of Moscow State University and the entire South-West. The hostess wanted the interior to feel both the spirit of old Moscow apartments and “easy breathing”. See how designer Inna Zoltmann managed to realize the customer’s dream.
10. To make an interior in the best European traditions
In a small treshka in the center of Moscow, decorator Zhena Zhdanova was to create a comfortable interior in the best European traditions. Redevelopment helped to solve the problem - the decorator got rid of the tiny kitchen, combining its space with the living room, made a combined bathroom and adjusted the volume of the hallway and bedroom. As for the design, it was built on three main principles: light shades, natural materials, original or author's pieces of furniture.
Kitchen in an old house: features of Stalinist apartments ↑
Project: kitchen-dining room in stalin
The main advantages of the houses of the Stalin era:
- External walls, up to 1 m thick.
- The minimum ceiling height is 3.2 m; there are apartments with 4-meter ceilings.
- Solid areas of isolated rooms: kitchens - up to 12 m, rooms - up to 22 sq m.
Nomenclature Stalin: the house for officials
Types of layout and area of kitchens ↑
Under the name "Stalin" in the secondary market offer housing in 2 different types of buildings. Homes for workers - low-rise buildings of cinder blocks. The number of rooms is from 1 to 3. The area of the apartments is small, but the ceilings are more than 3 m.
Stalinka: a house for workers
Kitchens in houses that were built for ordinary people - the minimum area. The smallest - from 6.8 sq.m. The shape of the premises is a rectangle-pencil case or square. In small kitchens there are no additional attached rooms for the servant. Often one of the walls has a ledge, which greatly complicates the planning.
In the central districts of the cities, and increased comfort housing was also erected - multi-story stalinkas for party workers and cultural workers. Nomenclature houses differed from standard ones:
- On the upper floors you can find apartments with ceilings up to 4 meters.
- Number of rooms - up to 4.
- Spacious corridors, kitchens - up to 12 sq.m.
- The pantries and staff rooms adjacent to the kitchens.
- A small number of apartments per floor.
The kitchen in Stalin for the party elite is a chic room, which in most cases does not require a major redevelopment.
Materials of construction: what owners will have to face ↑
Ceilings, thick walls and a solid area are all advantages of Stalin's apartments. In most houses, since the time of construction, they have never undergone major repairs. The internal walls and communications are in poor condition, it is unlikely that they will be able to make a budget redecoration.
Features of apartments in houses built before the beginning of the 50s, which should be considered before planning the repair of a kitchen in Stalin:
- Ceilings - wooden. It is only possible to assess the condition of the floor and ceiling after dismantling the flooring and old plaster.
Wood flooring
- Partitions in houses built in the 30s and 40s are made of boards covered with insulating material, or, in the worst case, construction waste.
Shingled board wall
- Stucco - clay.
Stalinka, which was built in the second half of the 50s, is more reliable from the point of view of internal arrangement. Ceilings are reinforced concrete, and the partitions inside the apartments are made of bricks or cinder blocks.
1 Make cabinets to the ceiling
High ceilings of stalinok are their undeniable advantage. It can also be used to organize storage. For example, in this apartment they made such cabinets around the door - from the floor to the ceiling. They do not burden the room due to light facades, but they perform their functions perfectly.

2 Leave the “natural” brick walls
For connoisseurs of the “old foundation”, walls made of real, not decorative bricks are a real find, and simply plastering them and painting them or wallpapering them will not raise a hand, as they say. The owners of this apartment in Stalin's building in 1954 built the same opinion: in the living room they “freed” the brick from the layer of plaster, cleaned and painted white. And in the hallway - they decided to simply varnish.
3 Add a hand-made in the style of the Soviet mid-century
The era of "Stalin" fell in the middle of the last century. It can be said that the interiors of that time were in the style of a kind of Soviet mid-century modern. This is the same wooden furniture on legs, armchairs and sofas of simple shapes and accessories. In Soviet times, accessories were often made themselves, because it was almost impossible to buy something decent and inexpensive.
To repeat that atmosphere, the owner of this stalinka knitted a tablecloth with her own hands and put up retro furniture. The interior was complemented by a collection of aged suitcases.
4 Take advantage of wide window sills
As a rule, stalinkas have small kitchens, but the lack of meters is slightly compensated by the breadth of the window sills. On them, you can safely organize an additional countertop or use instead of a shelf.

And in this apartment they did not disregard the gorgeous view from the window - a relaxation zone was organized on the windowsill in the bedroom.
Design: Anastasia Bozhinskaya and Anastasia Rykova
5 Do not rush to make the apartment furniture
And again about the lack of space in the stalin. Usually, kitchens suffer from this, but sometimes rooms. To make an already small room with furniture is not a good idea, but to deprive a space of a functional load is also a good idea. See how the designers of this stalin have acted. The owner, like each of us, often receives guests in his apartment. In order to provide additional seating, the designers proposed small stylish chairs.

6 Combine the kitchen with the living room
Most of the stalinkas are constructed in such a way that the supporting walls are only external. Internal partitions can be demolished and rebuilt - in the right places, making a more convenient layout in the apartment. In particular, combine a small kitchen with a living room and find a place for spacious storage systems.
They did just that in this Moscow Stalin. A sliding glass partition was left between the living room and the kitchen, as the housing services did not agree on a complete unification in the apartments with gas stoves and water heaters. But managed to create a bright and beautiful space.
7 Design the interior of a historic building
Often in Stalin's apartments I want to emphasize their era, because in these wide walls and high ceilings she still lives. And designers go this way - each in its own way. For example, in this case, the architect proposed the style of American classics. Classical decor and characteristic for the interiors of the 30-50s. furniture, lighting and accessories very organically fit into the interior structure of the house. The feeling of scale and tranquility is already felt from the threshold.
And in this apartment there was a “playful retro” - countertops, as if made from cutting tables of Soviet dining rooms, a funny mixer “in the wall”, appliances in the same style, and of course, accessories. It looks very cute and great.
8 Do not rush to part with the old trim
Along with brick walls, old parquet is of interest in the houses of the old foundation - its color cannot be replaced with modern floor coverings. Therefore, do not rush to part with the old trim - in the new interior it will become that very “highlight”.
Design: Julia Khokhlova and Maria Zemlyakova
9 Try the interior in aesthetics loft
High ceilings, bricks, cast-iron pipes and batteries - all this is so “requested” in the interior of the aesthetics of the loft. Why not translate this idea into stalin?

Features
First of all, it is necessary to note the level of noise and heat insulation of the walls. Sometimes their thickness is up to 1 meter. In such houses, you can listen to loud music for no reason to disturb neighbors from above or below.
Stalinist skyscraper, built in the Empire style in the 30s. Postwar. Thousands of houses across the country were destroyed during the terrible war. Many people simply had nowhere to return from the front. As a result, major changes were made to the construction. They began to pay much less attention to appearance and original design. Construction began to be carried out using cheaper and larger white bricks, which allowed to reduce the time of construction of buildings. Often the layout of the apartment has changed significantly. Despite the fact that the ceilings remained high, and the rooms were spacious, ordinary apartments turned into communal apartments and hostels.
houses built after the war began to look much more modest
The layout changed - apartments of the corridor type (with a long corridor having branches into separate rooms) began to appear more and more often. Now, if the apartment had 3 rooms, three families would often settle in there. Yes, it caused a certain discomfort to the inhabitants. But it allowed to provide at least some housing with more people. The country's leadership took this as a temporary step - as soon as a sufficient number of houses were built, people were planning to allocate separate apartments. 
What does stalin
Most of the Stalinist houses are rather low - most often these are three- or four-story, monumental and powerful buildings.
Of course, there are exceptions, for example, a 24-storey residential building on Kudrinskaya Square, built between 1948 and 1954.
But there are so few of them that all similar buildings in the country can be counted on the fingers. In addition, an apartment in a Stalinist skyscraper is so prestigious that very few of our compatriots can buy such a home. Therefore, you can not talk about them.
Layout example of a one-bedroom apartment in Stalin
Most of the apartments in Stalinka have 2 rooms or 3. Less common are 4-room mansions. And even less so - one-room apartments. But, regardless of the number of rooms, the apartments were built quite spacious. Here is an approximate area of such apartments:
- 1-room - 32-50 square meters,
- 2-room - 44-70 square meters,
- 3-room - 57-85 square meters,
- 4-room apartment - 80-110 square meters.
The height of the ceilings will pleasantly surprise even the most picky tenant - from 2.9 to 3.2 meters. The windows are simply huge, most often from 125x185 to 140x210 centimeters. Kitchens in one-room apartments are relatively small - only 7-8 meters. But in two- and three-room apartments, these are very spacious rooms - from 8 to 12 meters. The real dream of any housewife.
layout example of a three-room stalinka in a 6-story building
It is worth saying that sometimes you can see apartments in the Stalinist buildings, with more than four rooms - five and even six. But such an apartment, most likely, was built for use as a hostel, and the number of houses with such apartments is very small. Therefore, it is not worth talking about them in detail.
4-room stalink layout example
Of course, there are a number of shortcomings, but people who dream of living in spacious housing easily put up with them.
For example, there are no elevators in the stalinkas. But for 3-4 story buildings, an elevator is not a necessity at all. The same can be said about the garbage chute.
And in this video you can see what a bathtub in "stalinkas" is, and how it can be repaired.
Not every company will undertake to make plastic windows of a suitable size, so such repairs will cost you very, very expensive.
A year of construction can also scare away inexperienced buyers - many of the steelworks were built about 80 years ago. But experts are well aware that during construction they were given a guarantee from 125 to 150 years! Therefore, for many decades, the inhabitants of such apartments do not have to worry.
And finally, the cost of stalinok. This is the most painful place. Often a two-room apartment in Stalin is much more expensive than a three-room apartment in Khrushchev or Brezhnevka. Therefore, only very wealthy people can afford such a purchase.
Is it possible to redevelop stalin
Although the magnificent layout is one of the main advantages that all, without exception, stalin-style apartments can boast, sometimes people still wonder if re-planning in stalin is possible. This can happen for a variety of reasons.
An example of the redevelopment of a stalin apartment
One of the most common types of redevelopment is to change the shape and size of the corridor. The fact is that in many stalinkas there is a rather long corridor, which, according to the owners of the apartment, should be shortened. Saved meters are added to the living room area.
Of course, in stalinka the size of the room is already quite large, but a few square meters will never be superfluous.
In most cases, there are no problems. Although it’s still worth visiting a specialist! After all, even having a drawing of your home on hand, you probably won’t be able to carry out all the calculations and determine if demolition will harm the usual wooden partition of the entire building structure.
example of a redevelopment of a three-room apartment in a Stalin-era building
Here another minus of stalinok appears. Those partitions, which were originally self-supporting, eventually turned into unloading.
In other words, now they take on part of the loads from the entire structure, although this was not originally planned. And if in modern brick and panel houses the wooden partitions can be easily demolished, then when working in stalinkas the redevelopment process can be significantly complicated by this.
However, there are also people whom the layout of the one-room stalinka is quite satisfactory, but at the same time they critically lack the usable area for a comfortable life. In general, in this case, there are quite a lot of different ways to solve the problem, perfectly suitable for both the Stalinist and the Khrushchev.
However, stalinkas have one definite plus, thanks to which the problem of lack of free space is easily solved. It is an unusual ceiling height. It has already been mentioned above that the ceilings in the stalinkas are very high - usually about 3 meters. And some owners skillfully use this. They just create a second floor in their own room.
For this, ordinary wooden boards and timber are used. It is not necessary to obtain permission and coordinate such construction with the relevant authorities - the main load-bearing structures of the building are in no way damaged or changed.
Option for redevelopment of a two-room stalinka
It's just that people divide a part of the room into two floors. The height of the first is usually about 2 meters, and the second is about 1 meter. Yes, it is impossible to arrange a full floor there. But to put a bed, even a double, is very possible. Often, under the bed, on the ground floor, a study is equipped. Thus, you save considerable free space, getting more space in the apartment. The solution is very unusual, but very effective. So if you decide to do something similar, then you definitely will not have to regret it.
We plan ahead: redevelopment or just repair ↑
The lucky ones who got a late-built apartment with a concrete ceiling are much simpler: when repairing a kitchen in a stalinka, they will have to replace water pipes and perform finishing work. Owners of housing in the old stalinka need to assess the condition of the floors, wiring, communications.
You can competently organize space in a small area
The number of load-bearing walls inside the apartments is minimal, so expanding the area of the tiny kitchen in the stalin is not a problem. Naturally, it is necessary to coordinate the redevelopment. Options for increasing the area of the kitchen:
- Complete dismantling of the partition between the kitchen and the adjoining room.
- Partial dismantling of the wall: the working area of the kitchen is separated.
- Moving the partition deep into the adjacent room.
Partial partition: a wide doorway separates the kitchen from the room
Replacement or reconstruction of communications in Stalin ↑
Before you start installing new pipes, you should plan the future interior of the kitchen. Depending on the place where the headset is planned to be installed, markings are made to hide new pipes behind the furniture.
It is advisable to change both water and sewer pipes
To get to the communications, perform:
- Dismantling of flooring and roughing boards.
- Remove the layers of old whitewash and upholstery the plaster.
Sewer risers in Stalin's houses - made of cast iron. It is advisable to replace the entire riser. If it is not possible to agree on joint work with neighbors, you will only have to change the pipe section in your own apartment. In this case, the consent of neighbors to carry out work will be required.
Pipes are laid along the walls at a low height.
When choosing pipes, give preference to durable polypropylene or PVC. If concealed installation is planned, invite the craftsmen - the current pipes hidden in the wall can be repaired only by disassembling the drywall construction.
To assess the state of gas risers call specialists. After their conclusion, the pipes are replaced, under the supervision of representatives of the service organization. If there is a need to install a new internal gas wiring, then pipes can be laid so that they are not visible. Completely hide the wiring in drywall constructions will not be allowed.
New wiring and moving outlets
It is important to make reliable wiring. Electrical cables and wiring in the kitchen of Stalin are carried out taking into account a large number of electrical appliances. New outlets are installed at the bottom of the walls, with easy access.
Walls: options for resolving the issue with partitions ↑
The most “problem” wall in the rooms of old houses is between the kitchen and the bathroom. Inside the structure there are ventilation ducts that will have to be repaired and left in the same place. If the partitions are wooden, then part of the wall with ventilation ducts is strengthened and sealed: it is through cracks and cracks in the wooden skin and clay that third-party odors from neighboring apartments penetrate the room.
Demolished all partitions: studio
Before you remove the old wall with shingles, be sure to inspect the ceiling: often rotten ceiling boards remain in their place only due to the support - partition. Disassembly must be done carefully.
First, the upper and lower parts of the wall are freed from old whitewashing and clay. A small cut is made under the ceiling to inspect the condition of the boards and to reveal the internal filler of the wall. There will be a lot of garbage after dismantling.
The walls are sheathed with drywall, the heating radiator is in a niche
If all partitions are wooden with shingles, it is advisable to replace them. Rotten old wood, clay, which was used as plaster during construction, is a source of unpleasant odors, nurseries of pathogenic bacteria, mold and fungus.
A way to remove a partition from under unreliable overlap: a decorative wooden frame-support
Instead of the old walls, partitions are installed from a metal frame with a heater, which will also play the role of sound insulation, with plasterboard sheathing. To build brick walls inside an apartment with an old wooden floor is dangerous.
Wall repair in stalin
Owners of steel buildings with internal walls made of cinder block or brick will not have to remove partitions if redevelopment is not carried out. It is enough to level the surface: plaster again or sheathe with drywall.
Floor and ceiling: what can be done in the kitchen ↑
The ceiling height in the stalin is impressive and makes it possible to install complex multi-stage structures. 3 options for arranging the ceiling in the kitchen:
- Leveling and painting. High ceilings in stalinkas of late building can be in good condition. If the flooring is made of reinforced concrete, then you can save on repairs: level the surface with putty, install false cornices and stucco molding at the points of suspension of the lamps.
White whitewash: classic ceiling
- Gypsum plasterboard ceiling. Multi-level gypsum plasterboard ceilings are a great way to visually change the shape of the room, to separate different zones in the kitchen with rows of built-in lamps. But before installing drywall on the ceiling during repairs in the kitchen, the stalinka will have to make sure that everything is in order with the water supply and sewage system from the neighbors above. Plates do not tolerate moisture, and can not be repaired.
Height allows even black stretch ceiling to be mounted
- Stretch ceiling. Ideal choice for installation on a wooden floor. The frame and canvas weigh little, the old wooden structure will not be overloaded. A huge advantage of stretch linens is the ability to withstand a large mass of water: if neighbors are poured from above, then through special holes you can simply drain the water. Installation of the ceiling is carried out only after completion of the rest of the work: the film is easily torn.
Under the boards is trash that will have to be cleaned
No new flooring is laid on the old wooden floor. The old floor is torn off, if the logs are rotten, they will also have to be dismantled. Often when removing the substrate in the ceiling, mountains of construction debris are found. Instead of the old filling for insulation and additional sound insulation, expanded clay or expanded polystyrene foam can be used.
Installation of plywood for flooring
After repair and installation of a new flooring, the surface is leveled. Use liquid cement self-leveling mixtures. On this basis, you can lay tiles, parquet board or linoleum.
Interior solutions for small and haute cuisine in Stalin ↑
A high room with large windows makes it possible to create an interesting kitchen design in the stalin even without demolition of partitions. On a standard area of 7 - 10 square meters. m main assistants will be:
- Extraordinary color solutions: monochrome, bright color details, glossy gloss.
- Competent layout of furniture.
- Light: ceiling and built-in lights, headset lighting and zoning rows of spotlights.
Interesting kitchen interior in stalin without redevelopment
Color accents in a limited space ↑
Feel free to combine bright colors. Add mood and good appetite color juicy citrus. When choosing neon shades, give preference to dull facades with a smooth glossy surface. Bright color should not be too much. Yellow-green lime color balance calm blue-gray. The white round dining table looks light and elegant, while the small kitchen seems spacious.
Simplicity of form and color brightness: kitchen in lime color
A strict graphite set and a snow-white sofa in the dining area - such an interior will fit perfectly into the 10-meter kitchen in Stalin without redevelopment. Light curtains made of natural linen, silver ceramic tiles and contrasting wall painting: simple design in cool gray tones.

Smoky lilac and deep purple: the most fashionable shades of the season. Combine the dark color with snow-white and mirror details: an apron made of glass over the countertop, a pendant lamp made of crystal, a snow-white tulle on the window. The main thing is not to darken the small kitchen with too many dark details.
Violet, wenge and snow-white: interior of 7 square meters. m
Scandinavian style is almost a classic that will never go out of style. White in the kitchen does not happen much. The open design of the window with a wooden frame, natural wood on the floor and the dull facades of the headset are simple and elegant.

Fresh eclecticism: a sophisticated interior that requires certain skills. A retro sofa with plush upholstery, a bit from the loft style in the form of whitewashed brickwork and a hi-tech hood - this is how the design project looks. Imitation of marble on the floor and lilac wallpapers with floral patterns, bright lamps - complement the picture.

Furniture and kitchen appliances for stalin: ideas ↑
It is the ceiling height of more than 3 m that makes it easy to integrate classic and modern furniture into the interior: carved facades with patina on natural wood, and glossy plastic in wardrobes.
For kitchens measuring 10 - 12 meters, it will be possible to choose a set from ready-made modular collections. But the ideal option for small rooms is the development of an individual furniture project. You can "steal" only a few centimeters of depth from the lower tier, and the kitchen will be transformed.
Classic in the kitchen-pencil case: cream set with a gold edging
The space under the window can be used in different ways: for the dining area or installation of a sink.

Ready-made modular set: dull frosted facades of the lower tier, frosted glass - on the upper cabinets. A minimum of furniture and decor, an elegant dining group to match: the design seems thought out to the smallest detail.
Emphasized simplicity and functionality
Transforming table and tall cabinets in stalin
Instead of a standard dining table, designers offer transformers: mobile consoles that can be moved away, winning a few meters of area. One edge of the table moves in a niche along the guide. This design can be used as a table, bar, work surface. Tall wardrobes will hide all kitchen utensils from prying eyes.

Zoning of the micro-area: create coziness on 8 - 12 squares ↑
How to separate the dining area from the working area without re-planning the kitchen in Stalin? After all, the area is not so much. 3 main assistants who will help to emphasize:
- Duplication of the shape of the dining table ceiling pendant design.
- Light accents: wall sconces, ceiling suspensions and spotlights.
- Textiles and decor: wallpaper in contrasting colors, bright textiles in the dining area.
Just one detail - a black adjustable suspension over a snow-white round table: simple zoning of a kitchen-pencil case.
In this kitchen, the dining area is contoured with a ceiling structure with pendant glass lights. The dining area is complemented by transparent wall shelves with decor.
In this interior, designers turn the dining area into a terrace of a Parisian cafe. Wall mural on the wall, green plants in spherical pots on forged suspensions: an original and comfortable solution.

Interior Design Ideas for Remodeling Stalinist Cuisine ↑
Sometimes during the redevelopment of the kitchen in Stalin, it is enough to dismantle the old partition and install a new one, retreating 1.5 - 2 m deep into the room. The problem of lack of space in the kitchen is solved, and the room remains isolated. This option is suitable for those who cannot refuse a living room in favor of a dining room combined with a working area.
They removed the door and installed a corner set along the new wall
The kitchen can be expanded at the expense of the corridor: dismantle the interior door and widen the opening. The bar counter will separate the room from the entrance hall visually.
Chic black kitchen: compact set and stand
Designers even managed to turn niches with communications into dignity. Column - in a drywall box lined with decorative masonry.
Cozy dining area around the ledge
If necessary, you can dismantle only part of the partition, correctly dividing the room: the kitchen will have more space and light, and the dining room will turn into part of the living room.
Lunch group separates kitchen from room
On the ledge of the partition, a work surface or a shelf of tabletop material is arranged. Such a move will make the space harmonious and add half a meter to the work surface.
Worktop with partition
Instead of a partition - install a non-standard desk-rack made of old brick. Such an element perfectly complements the bold modern interior.
After redevelopment, an island appeared in this old-fashioned kitchen.
In a classical interior air sliding partitions are pertinent. Zoning the kitchen area helps contrasting flooring.
Spacious kitchen and frosted glass sliding partition
The trendy combination of the color “petrol” with violet in combination with white, the separation of the rooms connected after the redevelopment by the dining group is the highlight of the bold design project.
Sofa in the living room in one color with kitchen furniture
The kitchen in Stalin is a room that can be transformed without problems: there are no load-bearing walls, there are no difficulties in legitimizing redevelopment. High ceilings are a huge plus. Doing repairs yourself in an old house is not worth it. During dismantling, a huge amount of garbage will have to be removed and disposed of. It is very important to make a complete replacement of the indoor pipes and wiring. Impressive areas will allow you to implement any design ideas without restrictions. If you do not decide to combine bright colors and mix styles - give preference to two-tone contrasting interiors and classic black and white solutions: you will not lose!
After the Khrushchevs failed to solve the housing problem, they were replaced by nine-story buildings. Many people living in communal apartments received.
How to make a small kitchen cozy and beautiful: interior design photo
On our own, we definitely couldn’t make a modern and comfortable kitchen in our stalin, so we chose the set that interests us - we ordered it from the Beaver factory from solid wood - I only wanted a wooden kitchen, from oak and did not regret it even once. Well, when ordering a headset, we asked the designer - the visiting designer Svetlana, came to us with a snow, color samples and a lot of positive things, and in an hour and a half we created a project for our kitchen, then a month later we installed the kitchen. And it was very successful, everything turned out to be in the top, without gaps and gaps, and at our request, the gas and heating pipes and hoods were closed. It turned out very beautifully
As they say, it would be a kitchen, but there is furniture. especially at the present time, when furniture is for every taste, purse, material and color. Well, even for the most capricious, how can I please =) My husband gave me the kitchen from the Beaver factory, listened to my wishes, ordered the visiting designer and they created a kitchen together of my dream. From an array - I do not like plastic. Green, like spring grass - my favorite shade of green =)
