There is an option - do not close anything at all and put the gas appliance itself, as they say, on display, painting it various types images. Another modern idea- this is to apply UV - photo printing on the front of the device, in this case, there is simply no limit to human fantasies.

The geyser is a device for heating water for domestic purposes. Kitchen equipment gas device provides the owners of the apartment with hot water at any time of the day at any time of the year (if gas is available). During the construction of Khrushchev houses, individual hot water supply provided undeniable advantages: the central boiler room often turned off hot water for prevention, for rest in summer period or for other reasons.

Image 1. The supply gas and water pipes, which are located below the column, can be masked by the construction along the wall of a separate box-locker.

The disadvantage of having a gas column in the room was the reduction in the size of the internal space of the already small kitchen room. How to issue modern design kitchens in "Khrushchev" with a geyser?

Kitchen design "Khrushchev"

In modern multi-apartment construction, the installation of gas double-circuit boilers is practiced, which provide individual heating and hot water supply to each apartment in a multi-storey building.

Image 2. For better aesthetics, the cabinet box can be painted in the same color as the kitchen apron.

Considering sufficient size interior spaces, the installation of such a boiler does not affect the tightness of the room. The main problem of the kitchen in "Khrushchev" is its small size.

The design of the Khrushchev kitchen should include everything you need so as to smooth out the feeling of tightness and walls approaching from all sides. At the same time, the gas column must be harmoniously entered into the kitchen furniture. There are several rules for decorating a small room, according to which you can develop a design in a Khrushchev apartment with a gas water heater.

Column masking

You can visually divert your gaze from the gas column if you hide it in a wall cabinet, select a separate part of the shelf for it or close it with a door. Required minimum free space around gas equipment is 3 cm. This is taken into account when designing the dimensions of the hanging shelves. The shelf inside the cabinet is 3-5 cm away from the walls of its cell to ensure free air flow around it.

The wall cabinet provides a hole for the gas pipe and corrugations, as well as ventilation holes. A number of hanging lockers will help disguise exhaust pipe, if you place them right below it.

The supply gas and water pipes located below the column can be masked by the construction along the wall of a separate box-locker. For better aesthetics, it can be trimmed tiles in the same color as the kitchen apron (images 1 and 2).

You can decorate the column body by painting it in the same tone with the kitchen set, or purchase ready-made gas equipment color solution corresponding to the tone of the walls. Such a design decision will make the column visually invisible, it will turn into an element of the interior and will no longer attract attention with its external absurdity. For painting, heat-resistant paint for metal or automotive paint is used. There are different options for decorating a gas column, one of them is applying a pattern (image 3).

To hide a column hanging on the wall, you can move it to a corner, but such an action must be coordinated with the gas service.

Optimal use of workspace

To optimize the internal space in the kitchen, you need to decide on the minimum sufficient set of furniture. Among compulsory subjects kitchen interior stove, sink, table, refrigerator. For a small room, it is necessary to provide for the absence of sharp furniture corners. Furniture for good design must be made in individual sizes (to order).

Image 5. The entire surface of the kitchen wall should be made for the installation or hanging of furniture.

When placing it, it is necessary to use one or two kitchen walls as much as possible and leave free space along the third wall and window. To do this, all the necessary furnishings are placed in the form of a furniture wall along one of the walls. The lower tier is a table, stove, sink, a gas water heater hangs on the wall from above, next to it is a wall cabinet or hanging shelves. The entire surface of the kitchen wall must be used for the installation or hanging of furniture, height wall cabinets can reach the ceiling (image 5).

You can significantly optimize the space by using various folding, folding and built-in interior items: folding table, folding chairs, built-in shelves or sideboard. User friendly design kitchens in Khrushchev apartments with a gas water heater cannot be organized without folding furniture of any possible design. For example, the table can be fully lifted up, freeing up space for passage. Or it may partially decrease in size (image 7).

Existing opening dormer window between the kitchen and the bathroom can be arranged as a built-in mezzanine.

You can save usable space by combining several functions in one piece of furniture. For example, a window sill can become a table for cooking if it is slightly expanded and connected through the corner to the stove. The space under the window sill table can be occupied by a wardrobe, shelves for storing food and other kitchen items.

visual illusion

For visual expansion small rooms it is necessary to choose the right color for the interior and walls. The tone of kitchen furniture for the Khrushchev kitchen design should be light, white is best. Suitable white furniture with bright accents. A small pattern on the walls is possible if they are not covered with cabinets.

The lighting of a small room should be bright, but without irritation.

Modern room design features recent inventions. Such a new interior decoration is transparent glass furniture. Transparent furniture in "Khrushchev" helps to visually reduce the size of the furniture and visually increase the interior space. Glass furniture is made of tempered impact-resistant glass to avoid breaking it and injuring the owners.

The modern design of the Khrushchev kitchen is impossible without a mirror along open wall. The effect of a mirror wall is expressed in the "pushing apart" of the walls and visual expansion space.

Creativity and diligence will allow you to transform the interior of even a tiny kitchen, the layout of which is initially inconvenient. It is quite possible to endow this space with the maximum level of comfort and coziness. Let's discuss further what a kitchen in Khrushchev with a gas water heater should be like: photos, advice from designers with experience.

Owners of a small apartment in Khrushchev buildings cannot boast of a spacious kitchen. Instead they are forced on meager square meters this room to accommodate all the necessary equipment and furniture here.

We add that the kitchens in such housing are equipped with a gas water heater, which further complicates their design, because such a unit reduces usable space to a minimum, making the design of the kitchen unattractive. However, it can also become a functional part of the decor if the repair is done correctly.

Experienced designers insist that:

  • repair of the kitchen room should begin with measuring the space, creating a sketch that will show the future layout of the room, calculating the current amount of building and finishing materials;
  • if the future interior requires redevelopment, including the transfer of a unit for heating water or pipes from it, the repair budget will have to be increased. In addition, interior changes will have to be legalized in special authorities;
  • when moving a gas-powered column, do not neglect the advice of a fire safety specialist. Repair of the Khrushchev kitchen should be carried out taking into account his recommendations. If it involves the transfer of the unit or communication elements, permission from the utilities will be required;
  • despite the fact that in such houses the walls are rather thin, it is worth warming the kitchen exclusively from the outside. Internal insulation eat up valuable space.

Ways to increase free space

The design of a small Khrushchev kitchen with a gas water heater should primarily aim to increase the narrow space without losing its functional purpose. That is, the repair should bring space here without thereby creating any inconvenience.

Here are proven ways to help visually expand the Khrushchev kitchen with a column and make it more comfortable:

  • skip the standard floor cabinets with heavy facades and large handles, do not choose a standard, straight-shaped headset, preferring modular options with glass or glossy doors. Such furniture does not look bulky, and glossy surfaces reflect light, expanding the space;
  • if the door opens into the kitchen, dismantle it by making an opening in the form of an arch. This will save precious space;
  • use the niche space under the windowsill to store dishes or install compact appliances. If such an opportunity arises, take the refrigerator out of the kitchen or pick up a compact model of such a unit;
  • choose only light translucent window textiles or replace the standard tulle with Roman blinds;
  • when choosing a color for decorating a small kitchen with a gas water heater, it should be noted that for such a space, experienced designers recommend using light natural tones on the walls. This technique fills the room with light, visually making it more spacious. It is worth abandoning large drawings on furniture and walls, they will only visually narrow the kitchen.

There are also ways to expand the space of the Khrushchev kitchen through installation or dismantling. The ideal option redevelopment will be carried out.

Such measures will require you to make more impressive investments and legitimize the restructuring in the public authorities.

Column placement options

If the speaker has a modern design, blends well with the rest of the interior, does not bother you with its aesthetics, it can be left on the wall in its original form. If it is characterized by an unsightly appearance or its location is extremely inconvenient, take the advice of designers with experience about the rules for transferring and how to mask such an aggregate. It can be moved to another location if the original layout does not suit you. After all, often such a unit is placed directly above the sink, where it is worth hanging a cabinet with a dish dryer. Then the column should be moved, and with it the pipes. Many people think that this idea is easy to implement. But there are certain nuances that need to be taken into account.

Options for a new location of the unit:

  • in the bathroom, if the area of ​​​​the room exceeds 7.5 sq. M and there is a ventilation duct;
  • into the corridor, if the layout of the space is sufficiently free;
  • in another place in the kitchen, but not above the stove or other open source of fire, and also not close to the cabinet wall.

If the speaker does not need to be moved, then it can be played with in different ways, disguised as a hanging cabinet, by performing a smart repair. If such a decision is made, then the cabinet should be wide, with walls of at least 3 cm, and many ventilation holes. The walls of the gas column must be insulated with high quality using heat-reflecting material. Also make holes in it for the corrugation, gas pipe. To make sure how wonderful the Khrushchev kitchen with a gas water heater looks, look at the photo below.

We mask the pipes and chimney

No less of a problem in a small kitchen are unsightly gas pipes and a chimney. Repairs should be carried out using ideas for their disguise, then the interior will look holistic.

You can purchase a set of equipment for the geyser that helps to veil the pipes. It may include special boxes and panels that are mounted directly on pipes. Dismantling of these elements, if necessary, is easy to carry out, and the design becomes attractive and neat, as in the photo below.

If it is not possible to purchase a suitable box that hides pipes, you can build it yourself from drywall or plywood. To do this, connect the side and front walls together, and then attach the structure to the wall and fix it with self-tapping screws. The pipes should hide behind the box without difficulty. In the end, you need to arrange the box with the same building material as the walls. So with a minimum of effort and investment, unsightly pipes and a column box can be masked.

Arrangement of the working area

To create the most comfortable, cozy and functional kitchen interior with a gas water heater on a scarce area, experienced designers have prepared a lot of ideas. The photo below is proof that even small kitchens with a column can be made cozy and stylish.

The limited space of a small kitchen affects the size of the working area. We'll have to think about how to carry out repairs as rationally as possible in order to organize a full-fledged working area on meager meters.

This problem can be solved with the help of multi-level or retractable countertops, which will be equipped with a furniture set. You can also apply another trick: make the window sill a continuation of the work area, use it for cooking, covering it with a countertop, as is done in the next photo. Instead of a standard plate, select hob, and replace the oven with a microwave with an air grill.

Say goodbye to a large-scale sink in favor of a compact, deep model. Nowhere to put the dishes so that water flows from it? It is better to use a special dryer for this purpose, mounted in a hanging cabinet. But the work surface space will be more spacious.

Furniture and appliances

The interior of a small Khrushchev kitchen cannot accommodate big number furniture and appliances, but the most necessary things will still have to be placed here. How to do it in the most rational way? Use exclusively functional items in order to equip the space and interior with everything you need. Experienced specialists insist that the design of such a room must be created using some tricks:

  • it is better to choose a corner furniture set, it allows you to use the space of the corner as rationally as possible. Such an interior is shown in the following photo. It is good if the set is equipped with drawers in which it is convenient to store kitchen utensils. More convenient to use kitchen set with compartment doors;
  • use the entire height of the wall of a small kitchen by installing two-tier wall-mounted modules. They are roomy and functional. It is also worth picking up a pencil case for storing kitchen utensils for the entire height of the wall;
  • the window sill should be used as a table by installing a countertop instead. If there are more than two people in the family, all people will not fit at the windowsill table. The photo below shows a design made using a similar solution;
  • a standard plan dining table can be replaced with a folding option that does not take up much free space. Pick up chairs for him folding, light;
  • household appliances, choose a compact size and built-in type. Then unsightly units will not take up much space, spoil the design, hiding behind furniture facades.

The photo below shows the interior with the successful application of these decor rules for small Khrushchev kitchen spaces.

A house for a person is a kind of refuge from everyday hustle and bustle. The design of any home should be cozy, because this is one of the main requirements for living quarters. Upon arrival home, a person needs to relax and recover from a working day.

Most of the time, one of the family members, as a rule, spends in the kitchen and not everyone has spacious apartments. In addition to a lot of discomfort, the project of an apartment in Khrushchev includes a rather cramped kitchen, which often has a bulky gas water heater. And very often the upcoming renovation of such kitchens causes nothing but despair, if you do not use the recommendations of designers, whose services not everyone can afford.

To create the most comfortable, cozy and functional kitchen space with a gas water heater in a small area, the designers have developed a lot of ideas, which will be presented below.

Kitchens in old-style multi-storey buildings are quite small and can often include a ventilation duct or gas water heater in their project. At first glance, these interferences, which reduce the usable space of the kitchen to a minimum, making its design unattractive, can be beaten or hidden in different ways by making repairs correctly.

The geyser provides housing with regular hot water supply, however, it also spoils the interior of the kitchen.

To leave this necessary and functional appliance in the kitchen, it must be correctly entered into the overall interior of the room. The ideal solution is when the geyser becomes an integral part of the design project, at the same time, without being bright accent drawing attention.

What should be taken into account when repairing?

Renovating a kitchen in an old house involves drawing up a design project, according to which all further technical and decorative work is carried out. However, if you are venturing overhaul kitchens in Khrushchev on their own, certain precautions should be taken:

  • Getting advice. Before making repairs and, immediately, before starting work on dismantling the geyser from the old place, it is necessary to consult fire safety specialists for a new place for the geyser.

Often, the gas column can be located above the sink, where it is planned to install a hanging cabinet with a dish dryer and it may be necessary to reinstall the column in another place.

  • Getting permission. If the repair of the kitchen in Khrushchev implies changes in the communications system, one cannot do without the permission of the utilities. Failure to comply with this authorization may result in civil or even criminal liability.

Where and how to place a geyser in the kitchen in Khrushchev

Competently draw up a design - the project of a small kitchen in Khrushchev, which includes a geyser, is quite difficult, due to the small area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room. And optimal solution for such a kitchen is the merging of the column with a wall cabinet, which is part of the kitchen set.

Thanks to this "disguise", such an inappropriate architectural element will not hurt to transform the interior of your kitchen in accordance with the idea.

To hide the gas column correctly, you should pay attention to some of the nuances:

  1. Cabinet dimensions. Since the minimum distance from the geyser to the cabinet wall must be at least 3 cm, it should be made to order according to individual dimensions, which a fire safety consultant will help to draw up.
  2. Ventilation. Such a cabinet should have a sufficient number of ventilation holes.
  3. Insulation. The cabinet walls must be insulated with heat-reflecting materials.
  4. Openings for communications. The cabinet must include special openings for gas pipes, pipes for water supply and chimney.

If the cabinet in which the geyser will be installed was purchased in advance, it is necessary to check its dimensions in accordance with the requirements for installing the geyser, as well as independently insulate the walls and make ventilation and communication holes.

Attention: if you decide to install a gas meter near the gas column, this should never be done! According to the requirements of SNiP, there must be a distance of at least 1.5 m from the geyser to the meter.

Arrangement of the working area

The kitchen in Khrushchev has a small area, which can create certain difficulties when updating its interior, because it is very important that the design of this room is not only cozy, but also functional. Repair of a small kitchen with a geyser should begin with an electrical wiring device, the layout of which directly depends on the location of the future dining and working areas and their features. How to equip a working area in a small kitchen?

It is not realistic to fit a large amount of furniture and appliances into the interior of a small kitchen, so it is not the quantity that is important here, but the functionality and quality. To ensure your kitchen is as equipped as possible with everything you need, Here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind:

  1. Space in height. In small kitchens, it is recommended to use the usable space not in breadth, but in height, using two-tier hinged modules and canisters.
  2. Activation of the window sill. Instead of a traditional window sill, you can install a countertop and make the window area an extension of the work area.
  3. Dinner table. As dining table you can use the folding option, which does not take up much space.
  4. "correct" technique. So that the kitchen in Khrushchev does not seem cluttered, it is recommended to hide the equipment behind furniture facades.

How to deal with kitchen appliances:

  • Cooktop. Traditional and bulky gas stove can be replaced hob with gas burners or a combined version. The modern industry can offer panels - transformers or folding varieties.
  • 2 in 1. Instead of the usual oven and microwave ovens, you can use a combined version. The 2 in 1 oven is very compact, and you can install it in any place convenient for you.
  • Dishwasher. For a small family, it is not necessary to purchase a large dishwasher, it will be enough to install desktop version or embedded model.
  • Washing machine. The apartment in Khrushchev does not have a spacious bathroom, so automatic washing machine many install in the kitchen. If you get by with a small dishwasher, the washing unit can be built under the kitchen sink.
  • Fridge. If there is no place for a refrigerator in the kitchen, you can install a horizontal model under the worktop.

In many kitchens in Khrushchev, a geyser is the only source hot water. Despite all the functionality of this device, it can be very difficult to fit it into the interior. Today we will tell you about three ways to disguise gas equipment and additional recommendations for the design of a small kitchen.

A kitchen for Khrushchev with a column should be selected taking into account fire safety rules and overall design

Types of geysers

The project of a kitchen in Khrushchev with a geyser, first of all, begins with the choice of the geyser itself. The same type of units remained, albeit not very distant, but, nevertheless, the past - today, gas water heater manufacturers pay due attention to the appearance of the device. There are various modifications of the case - in most cases this is quite enough to match the speaker to the general interior of the room.

According to the principle of operation, gas appliances are divided into automatic and semi-automatic

According to the principle of operation, gasified units are divided into 2 types:

  • Automatic. The principle of their work is quite simple. After turning on the valve for hot water, a special igniter is activated, which provokes the ignition of the burner. At that time cold water enters the unit, hot water flows out of the tap.
  • semi-automatic. In this case, the heater wick burns constantly, the burner turns on only after the water pressure is turned on.

The modern design of the devices greatly simplifies the process of their arrangement in the interior.

When choosing a column according to dimensions, it should be borne in mind that in most cases the size of the column is directly proportional to its power. It may happen that a compact column will not meet your needs for hot water.

How to organically fit a gas column into the decor - 3 options

When developing a kitchen design with a geyser in Khrushchev, it is necessary to consider all possible planning possibilities. We offer you three options that will help you organically fit gas equipment into the interior of the kitchen.

There are three options for masking gas equipment in a small room

Leave as is

Thanks to modern models very different stylish design, if desired, they can not be hidden deep into the headset. In this case, you can use one of the two proposed options.

The appearance of modern appliances allows you not to hide them behind the facades of the headset

  • Buy the right model. Thanks to a wide range equipment, you can pick up a column whose appearance Ideal for existing set and interior. Give preference to miniature options - they are much easier to place even in a small kitchen. It is quite possible to decorate the column with your own hands - using a stencil will greatly facilitate your task.

Some models of speakers are not much different from cabinets, pencil cases, which allows you not to hide them

  • Paint the appliance. If you could not find a model that suits your design, or its price seemed excessive to you, you can simply paint the device you have. Most often, the unit is tinted to match the color kitchen furniture, apron or wall decoration. Please note that during operation, the geyser will heat up, so for its coloring it is necessary to choose a heat-resistant paint.

Painting the unit to match the color of the walls is one of the most budget options camouflage equipment

Place between cabinets

This is one of the most effective tricks that will help you harmoniously fit the column into the overall interior. The column can be located both between two cabinets, and be the final element of the top row of the headset. There are two main points to consider before proceeding with the column installation.

To have constant access to the device, it can be placed between two upper cabinets

  • Select main element. It is necessary to decide which element will be the leading one - a column or hanging cabinets from a headset. If you first of all purchased a kitchen set, then the size of the gas column must be selected for the cabinets already available, or vice versa. It would be best to draw up a Khrushchev kitchen design with a gas water heater in advance, in which all the nuances will be taken into account.

If you purchased the headset before the column, then its dimensions should be selected from the dimensions of the main furniture

  • Take care of fire safety. At least three centimeters of free space must remain on each side of the gas column. This is necessary for natural ventilation. Failure to comply with this point is a direct violation of fire safety rules.

There must be a free space of at least 3 cm on the sides of the gas unit

  • Pick up materials. All nearby planes must be made of non-combustible materials. Since the speaker heats up during operation, it can cause overheating, charring, and fire in objects in close proximity. It is not necessary to make fireproof cabinets - it is quite enough to simply protect the surface that comes into contact with the column with a sheet of non-combustible material.
