The small size of bathrooms in Khrushchev-era apartment buildings causes certain inconvenience to apartment owners. The lack of space forces you to dodge when placing plumbing fixtures, to rack your brains so that it doesn’t turn out too cramped. But in addition to plumbing, you need to somehow fit into the space at least a small storage system.
In addition, it is not enough to choose the right type of finishing materials; you also need to choose the right color. Visual perception The size of the room directly depends on the color of the walls, floor and ceiling.
This section is devoted to the choice of materials for renovating a bathroom in a Khrushchev-era building. We will tell you which ones are suitable for walls and floors, and which ones are suitable for ceilings.
Let's start, of course, with tiles– the leader in popularity among finishing materials for bathrooms. The tiles are used both for walls and for laying on the floor. This material has the following advantages
The disadvantages include the complexity of installation: installation work requires certain skills.
Bathroom renovation in Khrushchev: tiles
Attention: tiles should be selected according to their intended purpose. Finishing intended for walls should go on the walls, and for the floor, accordingly, on the floor. So, floor tiles It has a large margin of safety, and in addition, its texture is rougher, which minimizes the risk of slipping.PVC panels today occupy the second most popular place among finishing materials used for the renovation of bathrooms in Khrushchev-era buildings. Panels can be used to decorate both walls and ceilings. The following qualities speak in favor of the material:
The material also has disadvantages: it can be easily damaged by a blow from a sharp object, and when PVC burns, it emits toxic smoke.

Wood can also be considered a universal material. It can also be mounted on the floor and ceiling. The main advantage of wood is its natural origin and environmental friendliness. During operation, the material releases phytoncides into the air, which contribute to the creation of a healthy indoor microclimate.
But this material is used quite rarely for finishing and repairing bathrooms in Khrushchev-era buildings, since moisture- and bio-resistant wood species are quite expensive. In addition, wood requires strict adherence to fire safety rules.
Wood: combining floor and ceiling finishes
For repairs and finishing of walls in bathrooms Khrushchev can be used moisture resistant drywall. This material provides great opportunities for leveling walls and modeling various kinds of bends and niches on them. After installation plasterboard finishing easy to “bring to mind” finishing– painting or covering the walls self-adhesive film, as in the photo below.
Attention: plasterboard, even if it has markings indicating that the material is moisture resistant, is quite hygroscopic. Therefore, such finishing requires the organization of forced ventilation in the bathroom.

In addition to the PVC panels described above, the simplest, most cost-effective and long-lasting known method finishing the ceiling in the bathroom - painting on plaster. If necessary, the surface is repaired, puttied and painted in the chosen color. The disadvantage is that leveling the ceiling requires some skill.
Small bathroom: ceiling to be painted
Stretch ceiling for bathrooms in Khrushchev-era buildings began to be used relatively recently. The main advantage of this finish is a perfectly smooth glossy or matte ceiling, which does not require any additional manipulations with it. Otherwise, this finish has the same advantages as the PVC panels described above. Except for the price: suspended ceilings can be quite expensive.

As already mentioned in this article, bathrooms in Khrushchev large sizes They can’t boast. That’s why the correct placement of plumbing fixtures and organization of storage areas means so much here.
The usual arrangement of plumbing fixtures in Khrushchev-era bathrooms makes the room very cramped. And you can save space using the following manipulations:
Remodeling a bathroom in Khrushchev
Installing a shower instead of a bath will also significantly save space. The cabin can be corner, as in the photo, or ordinary. The remaining space can be used, for example, for installing shelving or a washing machine, as in the photo.
Layout of a bathroom in Khrushchev. Shower cabin instead of bath
With a standard bathroom layout, use the wall, since it won’t work on the right, since there is a bathtub, and on the left, everything protruding from the wall will simply get in the way. The wall opposite the entrance remains. On next photo good example installation of cabinets. Their lower part hides cistern and sink drain. Upper cabinets small, but you can also place tall ones, up to the ceiling.
Compact bathroom: wall and floor cabinets
You can also place a prefabricated stainless steel rack of any height above the toilet, as on the right side of the photo. And on the left you see good way save space that the necessary little things would take up on the shelves. Paper, air freshener and magazines can be placed directly on the tank, in special “baskets”
Additional storage spaces
And don’t forget about the space under the bathroom, which we most often simply cover with a screen or screen. Today you can find screens of a special design on sale, with folding mechanism and shelves with reverse side. Most household chemicals will fit there.

When choosing the design of bathrooms in Khrushchev-era buildings, the stumbling block is always the lack of space. We must determine the color and pattern of materials, as well as the quality of plumbing fixtures, taking into account the lack of meters. The most important thing to remember:
Bathroom, photo. The design in Khrushchev favors light colors
If the design uses dark colors, then the design should include side lighting in addition to the top. IN Decoration Materials It is better to choose glossy ones. If the height of the ceilings allows, then you can run a horizontal frieze along the walls, as in the following photo of the bathroom design in Khrushchev. It will make the room visually wider. However, this can only be done with sufficiently high ceilings.
Design of a combined bathroom in Khrushchev: the frieze will make the room wider
It is better to choose the most miniature plumbing fixtures for a bathroom in a Khrushchev-era building, so as not to create the impression of a cluttered space. By the way, today you can find glass sinks on sale with glass countertops. This is a very good option for bathrooms in Khrushchev-era buildings, since the glass is “lost” against the background of the decoration.
Interior of a combined bathroom in Khrushchev: transparent sink
Just recently, some fifty years ago, an apartment in a Khrushchev five-story building was the subject of dreams for many people in the USSR. Today these houses are contemptuously called Khrushchev houses. And, meanwhile, it is still quite possible to live in them. They are, of course, a little cramped and they have combined bathrooms, but still, these are comfortable apartments.
The most problematic place in Khrushchev's apartments is the bathroom. If all other rooms allow you to easily accommodate them, then 5-6 square meters are in no way capable of accommodating everything that people are trying to cram there.
Bath, sink, washing machine, a bedside table for storing hygiene items and detergents, should not fit in such a small area, but you also need to place a toilet somewhere, where would you be without it? It would also be nice to have a basket for dirty laundry somewhere.
Based on common sense, for most of our people, the bathroom is a place of relaxation, where a person can relax while lying in warm bath, and maybe even sleep.
How can all this happen in such a cramped space is the big question? However, if you approach this issue creatively, it turns out that not everything is as bad as it seems.
If you show a little imagination, the solution to the problem will come on its own, and what seemed like a huge drawback yesterday will turn out to be a big plus tomorrow. For example, everyone thinks that a shared bathroom is very inconvenient. Indeed, having a bathroom and a toilet in the same room does not add enthusiasm to the residents of the Khrushchev.
But if you think about it, the inconvenience here is not too big. The advantages of this layout outweigh everything possible disadvantages. By combining a bathroom and a toilet in one room, the designers received, albeit one, but still not a very small and promising living space.
Looking at photos of a bathroom in a Khrushchev-era building found on the Internet, you are amazed at how people managed to rationally organize this tiny space. Moreover, there are a great many options for organizing it. The main idea behind all these options is to place everything in the bathroom along the walls and, if possible, on two or even three levels.
That is, walls exist not only to divide one large room into several small ones and to put something next to them (the walls), but, if possible, to attach something on them that does not fit below . This opportunity appears as needed.
Initially, more or less rationally, a bathtub is installed in the bathroom, because it is always located against the wall, therefore, it, most often, does not take up a single extra centimeter of space in the bathroom. Many people believe that since there is a small bathroom in a Khrushchev-era building, they can sacrifice the sink and install a washing machine in its place.
In principle, this option is not so bad, although washing will not be very convenient, but a washing machine in the bathroom, in a Khrushchev-era building, is always more important. After all, of all the rooms in the apartment, only the bathroom and kitchen are suitable for this, because they have the ability to connect to both electricity and a source cold water, and to the sewer.
Considering the tiny area of the kitchen, and, generally speaking, the kitchenette (kitchen is too strong a word), there is simply no other alternative, other than a bathroom, for placing a washing machine. So for the sake of this extremely useful unit, minor inconveniences can be endured.
However, a creative approach to bathroom design in a Khrushchev-era building is creative because it does not require sacrificing one convenience for the sake of another. That is, if desired, both the sink and the machine can be combined without sacrificing a single centimeter of usable space.
This is done simply, the sink is moved slightly higher, and the washing machine is placed under it. Thus, thanks to a solution as simple as all ingenious ones, there is an opportunity in an area of less than one square meter place two large objects at once.
Another advantage of this placement will be the camouflage of the pipe elbow going from the sink to the sewer. By using walls in the organization of the bathroom interior, we get additional space. Following this principle further, we replace the bedside table for storing hygiene items with a hanging cabinet, again, attaching it to the wall.
Having coped with the task of installing a washing machine, you inevitably face another task, which is a consequence of solving the first one. Since the washing machine is installed to wash clothes, after the clothes are washed in the washing machine, they need to be dried somewhere.
Typically, heated towel rails are used for this purpose. They are very convenient and are designed specifically for drying washed clothes, but it is not possible to dry anything larger than a towel on them.
Therefore, compact clothes dryers mounted to the wall have become widespread in our country. The placement of the toilet in the bathroom should be such that as a result of its installation no large gaps space that is not used in any way and cannot be used rationally.
To do this, you often have to change old toilet and install a specialized corner or wall-mounted one. Both options allow you to save usable area bathroom. In one case, due to its installation in a corner, and in the other, due to the absence of a drain tank.
In both cases, the count is in centimeters, maybe several tens of centimeters, but in organizing the space of a bathroom there are no trifles.
If all these measures do not lead to the expected result: significant savings in bathroom space, you can experiment with the bathroom. For example, remove the old large bathtub and install a corner or sitting bathtub. Of course you'll have to buy new bath, which may well be less convenient than the previous one, but the bathroom will fit everything that should be in it.
If relaxation in the bathtub has no value for you, then it would be best to remove it altogether and install a shower instead, which takes up very little space. With just a little time you can choose suitable option a shower that will look beautiful and fit without problems even in the smallest bathroom in Khrushchev.
In addition to the toilet, washing machine, sink and bathtub, the bathroom itself should comfortably accommodate the person himself. Probably, looking far ahead, our designers once developed a bathroom in which a bathtub and a toilet were combined; in Khrushchev this turned out to be very useful.
The bathroom is one of those rooms in the house that shapes a person’s mood in the morning, so in order for being in it not to charge a person negative energy, its interior should not evoke negative emotions in a person.
Before you start redecorating bathroom in Khrushchev, it is necessary to draw up overall plan transforming your bathroom. In addition to all of the above, you also need to think about options for finishing the bathroom. So, for example, its walls and ceiling should be painted in bright hues, the floor must be covered with tiles.
Of course, every owner of his apartment is free to decide for himself what to do with it, and is full of his own ideas for the bathroom in his Khrushchev apartment.

For walls, choose pastels, gentle tones. Dark colors will visually reduce the already small size of the room. Large-sized wall tiles are undesirable for a small bathroom; mosaic tiles. The colors of the floors should also not be too bright and saturated; opt for floor tiles in grey, blue, pink or light brown, the main thing is that they are in harmony with the shade of the tiles on the walls. Dilute monochromatic colors with bright splashes. Let it be a bright cabinet for hygiene supplies, a colored lamp and a beautiful rug. Mirrors will help to visually increase the size of the bathroom; they will visually expand the space. Scattered points of light will also help with this, as in the photo; it would be good if there were several small lamps placed in a checkerboard pattern.

Sometimes the height of the box is specially made 800-900 mm from the floor, then the protrusion serves as a shelf, but the size of the bathroom will not be 1600 mm - the maximum possible in the Khrushchev, but you will have to limit the length of the bath to 1400 mm, or install a shower stall.
Built-in cabinets for plumbing will help hide pipes
Due to the difficult microclimate of the bathroom, it is recommended to pay special attention to the electrical wiring. Here it is important to calculate the thickness of the wire cross-section depending on the load, and it is better to use a cable with copper conductors.

In accordance with the diagram, before laying tiles or facing with other coating materials, it is necessary to make grooves in the walls, treat them with a primer, lay a cable and plaster them. If the walls will be sheathed with panels or gypsum board, then it is not necessary to ditch. Before installing the sheathing, you can lay the wire in a corrugated pipe to protect it from moisture.

In order to secure the new pipes, special plastic clips are used or the walls are tapped. When laying pipes, it is important to remember the need to maintain a slope of 10-20 mm per 1 meter. The slope should not be forgotten when installing a new bathtub.
If new communications could not be hidden, a special box is built for this. It must provide access to taps that shut off water and water flow meters.
Heated towel rail.
Installation cost from 2000 rub.

Special attention should be given color scheme rooms.
Warm light, beige, sand shades, and glossy surfaces visually enlarge the room. Mirrors and mirror inserts also work to achieve this goal. If you place two mirrors on opposite walls, one opposite the other, then visually the volume of space will not only increase, but will also acquire additional depth.
Stretch ceilings with a glossy surface are also a good option for using reflection techniques.
Colorful patterns and designs, dark inserts, large tiles- not the best best options for limited space. In the bathroom, designers advise combining no more than three colors, with one taken as the main background, and the other two acting as additional ones. A panel, for example, with a marine theme, will look advantageous against a monochromatic background.
In the interior, a combination of several textures is possible, for example, mosaic and regular ceramic tiles size 200x300 mm. If rectangular tiles are laid horizontally, this will also visually enlarge the bathroom. Floor tiles are laid diagonally, this also works for visual extension space. The seams between the tiles are filled with high-quality, moisture-resistant grout.
When purchasing a set of furniture, mirrors, cabinets, cabinets for the bathroom, you must carefully evaluate the quality of the items.
This should be furniture for rooms with high humidity.

In this case, you will not have to drill the surfaces, and you will also be able to freely change the position of these objects, if necessary.
