However, not everyone can boast of the presence of large apartments, and everyone wants to make a beautiful renovation. This question is especially relevant for kitchens - the most beloved and most frequented place in the apartment. And if in the room of a large area there is always room for a flight of designer imagination and a huge amount of much-needed furniture, then the layout of a small kitchen quite often causes the owners some difficulties.

This refers primarily to old buildings, the so-called "Khrushchev", in which the kitchen is usually no more than six or seven square meters. But you want to have beautiful furniture, new equipment, a big roomy fridge and a lot of other useful things that the hostess needs so much. Therefore, for many, the question of which layout of the kitchen in the Khrushchevka is considered optimal and how to equip a not too large room is very relevant.

However, this re-planning of the kitchen is not suitable for everyone, not everyone will decide on such drastic measures, if only because this method requires very significant financial costs. Therefore, to increase free space, it is sometimes enough to just get rid of the door to the kitchen, which occupies quite a lot of useful space.

Built-in home appliances can save a lot of space, and multifunctional stools with drawers inside will be very useful in a small kitchen. The interior of the kitchen will look modern and elegant , if you choose the corner layout of furniture, which, by the way, will also help to significantly increase the useful area.

A competent layout of the kitchen is not only the skillful placement of furniture and appliances.
