Plan of a 3-room apartment. Dimensions of rooms in the apartment. Choosing an interior style

Many apartments cannot boast of a convenient arrangement of rooms. Sometimes there are cases that no design tricks or renovations, for example, visual expansion of the usable area with the help of mirrors, can be compared with the demolition of walls. That is why many come to the conclusion that a 3-room apartment redesigned in Khrushchev, the location of which is not always good, therefore needs some changes, which will make it more cozy and comfortable.

The standard buildings built during the Khrushchev era have stood for more than half a century and will last for the same amount of time. If the building is overhauled, its service life will increase. Khrushchev buildings were erected as temporary housing with a low level of comfort, so such an apartment undergoes redevelopment quite often. The main unifying features of Khrushchev buildings:

• very low ceilings;
• small areas of residential and non-residential areas;
• combined bathrooms;
• walk-through rooms;
• poor heat and sound insulation.

The big advantage is that the internal partitions in the house are not load-bearing, and this greatly simplifies the process of redevelopment and repairs. In a brick house there are load-bearing structures that rest on internal and external inter-apartment walls.

Typical layout of a three-room apartment

There are several layout options for 3-room apartments in Khrushchev:

• two of the three rooms are very small, as if one of the rooms was divided into two;
• 2 large adjacent rooms and one small separate room;
• living quarters are scattered on both sides of the house;
• There is an option when all rooms are completely isolated from each other.

Often one of the three rooms has a storage room. This is where it is best to arrange a bedroom, as the closet can be turned into a small dressing room. This way you can unload the room and solve the problem of organizing space. One of the rooms is often designed as a living room, where the whole family can gather and receive guests. If there are children, then the third room turns into a children's room.

Necessary documentation for changing the layout

The redevelopment of a three-room Khrushchev house consists of several stages. First of all, an apartment project is created, which is ordered to specialists. This solution will avoid problems at the next stage, when the project will have to be approved by the relevant authorities. The choice of scheme for approval will depend on how complex the repair is:

• according to the sketch;
• according to the sketch, taking into account changes in capital structures;
• according to the project.

You will need to collect a package of documents; if the alteration is carried out according to a sketch, then it will also be reflected on paper. The three-room apartment is distinguished by the fact that it has a storage room, a built-in wardrobe with a mezzanine. So, before you start working on getting a comfortable, spacious, very convenient home for living, you need to get a plan for the modified project, certified by a licensed project by the relevant organization.

Typical and non-standard options for changing space

It will not be possible to actually change the dimensions of the apartment, but you can increase the space using non-standard solutions. There are two principles for reorganizing space:

• combine all the rooms, get a studio apartment, with specific zoning;
• partial combination of premises: kitchen with living room, bathroom with hallway, balcony with bedroom and so on.

Traditionally, in such a house the kitchen is cramped, so those who have such an apartment have a natural desire to combine it with some room and expand it. A typical kitchen is a room of 6 square meters, rectangular or square in shape.

The most advantageous option is to combine the kitchen space with the living room. The old doorway is being sealed. The bathroom is expanding due to the previous passage to the kitchen. This project is truly considered one of the most successful. After all, there is also an adjacent zone between the two rooms, which can be used as a small dining room.

To zone the space, if necessary, removable sliding partitions are used. Corner 3-room apartments are attractive due to the presence of an additional window, which makes it possible to divide one large room into two with a separate window in each of them.

Remodeling the bathroom and isolating adjacent rooms

Dismantling the bathroom will help change the situation if you install a functional shower stall and a washing machine in its place, which takes up free space in the kitchen. You can increase the space by combining one of the rooms with a balcony. If this does not disturb the façade of the building, there will be no problems with approval by the BTI. You can move household appliances from the kitchen to the balcony or arrange a cozy corner for tea drinking or an office there. Before this, the balcony is insulated and repairs are made.

Adjoining rooms are a disaster, even in photos they look terrible. They cause inconvenience, especially when several people live in the apartment. By sacrificing the area of ​​one of the rooms, you can solve this problem in an original way. A small narrow corridor extends to the end of the apartment. As a result, on both sides of the long hallway there are doors to the kitchen, bathroom and rooms are isolated.

Wall decoration

Redevelopment of a 3-room Khrushchev or other apartment always means moving or demolishing walls, which must not only be legalized, but also done carefully and efficiently. Demolition of load-bearing and non-load-bearing structures is a very important process that should be entrusted to specialists. Dismantling a brick wall dividing the kitchen with a corridor or living room is justified only when there is a critical lack of space.

Often it is enough to punch an opening and gracefully decorate it. Thus, the space of the kitchen and living room will visually expand, which can be seen in the photo. However, if the apartment is in a building from the 90 series, this wall is load-bearing, so it is impossible to obtain permission to weaken it.

Small tricks:

• The effect of distance from the walls is given by light, cold shades and small patterns. They will bring the wall closer, make the room visually smaller with dark, rich and warm colors, large patterns;
• Wallpaper with horizontal stripes will “pull apart” the walls.

Choosing a floor covering

The flooring should be given special attention. Often, the initial floors in Khrushchev apartments are made of wooden boards, the service life of which does not exceed 20-30 years. That is why during major repairs and redevelopment it is impossible to do without removing the wooden covering and screed. This is especially true for those rooms where laminate or linoleum is planned to be laid. In rooms where it is planned to use tiles as a floor covering, leveling the surface is not necessary.

The best choice of flooring for a 3-room apartment is tiles. In the case where the combination of three rooms results in a studio, there is a need for zoning. As you can see in the photo, a multi-level floor with a different coating looks original. The walls are painted in different colors, the result is a spacious, stylishly decorated, convenient and comfortable apartment. The walls of the non-working space are decorated using decorative plaster.

Ceiling

The main rule for ceiling design is no volumetric lighting fixtures, but the presence of local lighting from several sources will come in handy. A low ceiling will rise if you use light glossy stretching or mirrors. A plasterboard ceiling of several levels will make the room visually taller. A light ceiling, walls and floor will give the room a feeling of weightlessness, lightness and additional space.

When choosing tension or plasterboard structures, you should think carefully, since during installation they steal several centimeters. Therefore, for rooms with low ceilings it is better to avoid such options. Here, wallpaper and paint would be more appropriate for finishing the ceiling surface, which, if chosen correctly, can expand the space and visually raise the ceiling.

Choosing an interior style

Each style has specific space requirements. For a small apartment, minimalism would be a suitable option. Massive decoration of antique and classical styles is inappropriate here. An elegant, compact, contrasting interior, decorated in a minimalist style, will make it possible to use the space as efficiently as possible.

Main features of minimalism:

• light shade - the main background color (white, ivory, sand, beige);
• simplicity in design and tightness;
• division of space into functional zones;
• masking of lighting fixtures;
• maximum natural light.

Minimalism is not such a boring style, if you look at photos and design projects, you can be convinced of this. This apartment is equipped with multifunctional transformable furniture. Wall cabinets, compact bedside tables and extendable tables are welcome. It is better to give preference to vertically oriented furniture rather than voluminous cabinets. For a kitchen, floor-to-ceiling cabinets are ideal. Glass and mirror elements will add air. It is better to place furniture in the corners, freeing up the center of the room as much as possible. Examples of correct furniture arrangement can be seen in the selection of photos.

It is best to start this article by recognizing the fact that not every redevelopment can be agreed upon, and there are many reasons for this. There are activities that are strictly prohibited by housing legislation, and therefore it is simply impossible to “pull” them through the approval procedure.

In addition, there are a number of restrictions and standards - construction, sanitary and others, which are regulated by SNiPs (building codes and regulations, as they were called before) and SP (codes of rules, as they are called now) and other documents.

These restrictions include recommendations on the minimum area of ​​residential premises, which should interest us in the context of coordinating a redevelopment project. After all, only a correctly developed project can be approved, and for this the designer must be familiar with the norms and rules. By the way, for this purpose there are SRO design approvals.

Minimum apartment area

First, let's go through the standards for the minimum area of ​​the apartments themselves, which are currently used in the construction of apartment buildings. For a one-room apartment it will be 28 meters, for a two-room apartment - 44, for a three-room apartment - 56, for a four-room apartment - 70, for a five-room apartment - 84 and, finally, for a six-room “estate” - 103 square meters.

In our practice, we encountered quite different living quarters. However, most often we have to deal with apartments with the number of living rooms from one to three, and we will focus on them.

It is worth noting that the minimum area and number of rooms in an apartment depends on the climatic region in which the building is located. For example, Moscow and the Moscow region belong to climatic region II.

Minimum premises areas

According to SP 54.13330.2016, for a one-room apartment there are special requirements for the number of square meters in a living room - 14. Whereas in two or more room dwellings the bar is raised higher - up to 16 for a common room. The bedroom size for all apartments must be at least eight square meters.

For the kitchen, the minimum values ​​are 8 square meters and, if we are talking about zoning the room, 6 meters for the kitchen area in the dining room. In apartments it is allowed to install kitchens and kitchen niches with an area of ​​at least 5 square meters. m.

Other standards apply to attic rooms: for example, kitchens and bedrooms must be at least seven square meters.

Please note that in this case we are talking about the size of premises in apartments provided under a social tenancy agreement. For apartments that are owned, a separate set of rules indicating the minimum area of ​​premises has not been adopted, so options are possible here.

In addition to the area, the living room must meet other parameters. One of them is insolation (natural light). In other words, in accordance with current regulations, the sun should look into the living room. In principle, no one will forbid you to use a room of 8 square meters without a source of natural light as a bedroom, but in the documents for the apartment it will be listed as an auxiliary room.

We should also talk about the height of the premises. In the climate zone to which Moscow belongs, the minimum distance from the flooring to the ceiling in the living room and kitchen must be at least two and a half meters, while mezzanines, corridors and other non-residential premises must have a height of at least 210 centimeters. In attic rooms the height may be slightly lower.

If you are just planning or have already remodeled your apartment, you can always contact our consultants by phone with your questions. If necessary, we can develop a project with a technical report and carry out the entire redevelopment approval process. Our contacts - .

Increasingly, modern young families are planning not to stop with one child. Therefore, when purchasing their home, they ask designers to include several bedrooms in the plan of a new apartment, hoping to later convert them into additional children’s rooms.

A competent redevelopment of a 3-room apartment made it possible to find free square meters for a spacious kitchen-living room.

Information about the apartment: 3-room apartment with an area of ​​100 sq. m. on the 15th floor of a 15-storey building in the residential complex "Yubileiny Kvartal".

Apartment owners: young family of 3 people.

Customer wishes: functional, light interior with bright color accents.

The verified redevelopment of a 3-room apartment made it possible to place on an area of ​​100 sq. m. three bedrooms and a spacious guest area. By cutting down the size of the adjacent bedroom, the designers carved out space for two different functional areas, a kitchen and a living room, built on the same area. There is even room left for a work corner. Using a glass partition, the design of which echoes the mirrored doors of the utility cabinet in which the washing machine is installed, the improvised office was separated from the rest of the living room space.

Since there was not enough space in the living room to install a storage system in the TV area, it was decided to recess the shelving in the wall adjacent to the bedroom, obtaining the necessary depth for the cabinets. And thanks to this, a niche for a bed appeared in the bedroom.

Designers Ekaterina Andzhin and Olga Goman also managed to rationally furnish the hallway space. For example, the closet in the hallway has access from both the hallway and the corridor.

According to the wishes of the clients, the designers designed the interior in a modern style interspersed with classical elements.

The hallway area was separated from the corridor leading to the rooms. Thanks to this, it was possible to carve out space for cabinets and isolate the “dirty area”.

The floor in the hallway is made of natural stone, its colors are duplicated in the color scheme of the corridor.

How to rationally use a limited number of square meters? Designer Svetlana Krasnova took a risk and arranged a children's room in the kitchen, and moved the kitchen into a spacious corridor.

Increasing the number of rooms is often not a whim of homeowners, but a vital necessity. For example, the birth of a child requires the allocation of a separate room for the full growth and development of the baby.

This project is a wonderful demonstration of laconic modern style. The light finish serves as an excellent backdrop for modern furniture pieces.

What interior is most appropriate in an apartment with panoramic glazing? Designer Elena Tsybyrnak believes that the interior should be combined with the view outside the window.

Few of our compatriots today can boast that the housing area completely satisfies them. Even people who are lucky enough to buy or inherit spacious three-room Moscow apartments often think that a lot of things could be optimized. For example, the kitchen may be too small, the corridor too long and dark, and in general it would not hurt to get another room that could be allocated for an office or an additional children's room.

Functional layout of a 3-room apartment

Well, you can just sit, regret and sometimes complain to friends and acquaintances that the apartment does not satisfy you for a number of reasons. Or you can just try to do something. And in this case, redevelopment of a three-room apartment is the only way to turn a standard room into the home of your dreams.

Of course, before you start drawing drawings yourself or resorting to the help of specialists, you should decide what you want to get as a result.

Expand the kitchen? Change the appearance of the corridor? Get an extra bedroom that could be allocated to a growing child or elderly parents who decide to move in with you? Think carefully about whether you need to start renovating your apartment at all? After all, once you start, you won’t be able to quit halfway. And the work can last for many weeks and even months; this will be a really difficult test for both your nerves and the family budget.

Once the decision is finally made, you can start making a plan. Of course, if you can afford it, then it is better to entrust the work to specialists. After all, redevelopment of an apartment is often accompanied by moving or even demolishing walls.

Only experienced specialists will be able to take into account all the nuances, ensuring that as a result you will receive completely safe and comfortable housing. They will take into account which walls in the apartment are load-bearing (which means they should be worked with only as a last resort), and which are self-supporting. The material from which the house is built will also be taken into account.

Of course, they have plans for various houses with all the characteristics: wall thickness, permanent loads, load-bearing structures, and so on. Therefore, they will be able to do all the work with the highest quality possible, regardless of what building your apartment is in - 83 series or 137 series.

Moving or demolishing main walls is a very important process. And it can be carried out only after obtaining permission from the relevant authorities.

This work is definitely best left to specialists. Yes, you will have to pay for their help. But as a result, the necessary documents will be collected in a matter of days. Otherwise, the process of collecting them may well drag on for several weeks or even months. Office employees will send you from one office to another, demanding more and more certificates and permits. Those who have undergone this procedure remember it only in nightmares.

You can choose the project that suits you:

1. Standard project. It has a relatively low price. But it cannot always fully satisfy the requirements of the apartment owner, since it was developed at the request of another customer.
2. A unique project. It will cost you quite a lot, but here you will be free in your fantasies. Your apartment can be transformed beyond recognition. A standard 3-room apartment in a five-story panel building can be turned into a luxury apartment that meets all your requirements.

Which option should I choose? Decide for yourself!

How to properly demolish a wall in an apartment.

Let's start from the kitchen

So, the diagrams are drawn and the plans are ready. You can start working. Most often in three-room apartments, the room allocated for the kitchen is subject to redevelopment. Indeed, it simply cannot meet the requirements of many people. But this is where you have to work diligently to prepare a delicious dinner for the whole family. And during dinner, especially if 5-6 people gather at the table, the kitchen becomes especially crowded. This means we need to expand the premises.

If the exit to the balcony is in the kitchen, as is usually the case in 121 series houses, you can consider yourself lucky. It is thanks to the balcony that you can significantly expand the kitchen.

Yes, you will have to glaze it with high quality, insulate it, install heating and dismantle the door with the window frame, connecting the balcony with the kitchen.

In addition, now it will not be so convenient to use the balcony, because it is quite difficult to reach the distant ropes when leaning out of the window. However, an additional 2-3 square meters to the kitchen area (the standard kitchen area is about 6-7 square meters) fully compensates for any costs and slight discomfort.

Now you have a fairly spacious room. The stove, refrigerator and cabinets can be moved to the balcony: there will be the main work area. But in the kitchen itself you can install a large table or even a kitchen sofa, because there will now be enough space for this.

By the way, if there was a wide, massive concrete window sill between the kitchen and the balcony, which is often found in 75 series houses, it does not always make sense to dismantle it. Dismantling is fraught with problems: this difficult task can take a whole day.

standard apartment layout in 75 series buildings

Removing construction waste and carefully leveling and masking the walls is an additional hassle. Therefore, many people make a very successful decision: they use the window sill as a kitchen table. You can install a small tabletop on it and decorate it accordingly, or you can simply cover it with washable wallpaper or oilcloth so that the new table looks harmonious in the interior of the room.

But it is worth considering that in most cases this wall is load-bearing. In some cases, for example, in large-panel nine-story buildings of the 90 series, you may not receive permission at all for any actions aimed at changing and weakening this wall. Therefore, you can only make a small cosmetic alteration of the premises to suit your needs; this is shown in more detail in the drawing.

minor redevelopment of a three-room apartment without significant changes in the location of the premises

It is enough to disrupt this structure, which carries a load of hundreds of tons, for the entire house to simply collapse. True, the higher the apartment is, the less the load on the wall will be.

Therefore, for redevelopment of an apartment on the 7th-9th floor, it is easiest to obtain permission. In other cases, you will have to seriously work hard.

In any case, if you demolish a load-bearing wall or simply make an interior window in it, you will have to compensate for the load-bearing capacity of the structure using a metal profile.

Typical apartment layouts are typical for a whole series of houses - a group of residential buildings that are completely or almost completely identical in design and arrangement of rooms. Also, such houses are built from the same materials.

Typical apartment layouts include “Brezhnevka”, “Khrushchevka”, “Stalinka”. Houses from these series are found in almost every locality in the country.

Dear readers! Our articles talk about typical ways to resolve legal issues, but each case is unique.

Stalinist houses are still expensive and prestigious. This is mainly due to their location: as a rule, “Stalin” buildings are located in the city center and in the areas closest to it. In addition, the cost of housing is also affected by the large total area, as well as high ceilings.

“Stalin buildings” are divided into two types depending on the building material used: cinder block and brick. Most brick houses were built during the early period, and cinder block houses began to appear at a time when developers had access to building panels and blocks. Brick buildings usually have better thermal insulation and a more attractive façade. Cinder block houses look less elegant and sometimes downright dull.

The construction of “Stalinka” buildings decreased significantly in 1956, when industrial mass housing construction began, which became the reason for the appearance of entire arrays of “Khrushchevka” buildings.

The main features of the “Stalinka” layout:

• High ceilings;
• Convenient layout of “Stalinka”;
• Massive walls.

In “Stalin” apartments there are usually three- and four-room apartments; options with two, as well as five or more rooms are much less common. One-room apartments are completely rare.

“Stalin buildings” can refer to ordinary or nomenklatura houses. Nomenklatura apartments were built specifically for elite residents. These houses have an excellent layout and spacious hallways. The apartments may also contain not only a children's room, but also an office, a library, and a maid's quarters. The kitchen in these “Stalin” apartments is large, the bathroom is separate. Usually there are 2-4 apartments on one floor. Row houses are simpler and more modest; the area of ​​apartments in them is smaller.

Typical layout of Khrushchev apartments

“Khrushchevka” refers to five-story buildings, the construction of which began in the period 1956-1964, during the reign of Khrushchev. In Moscow, these buildings were built until 1972, and in the region itself and in many other regions of the country - until the mid-1980s.

At first, Khrushchev houses were built of brick, but in the 60s, for economic reasons, panel housing construction began. Apartments in “Khrushchev” buildings have a small area of ​​rooms (for example, 6-9 m2 were allocated for a bedroom), and the area of ​​kitchens does not exceed 6 m2. The ceiling height has also decreased - to 2.5 meters.

The main disadvantages of the layout of Khrushchev apartments include:

• Poor thermal insulation (hot in summer and cold in winter);
• Combined bathroom;
• Lack of garbage chute, elevator, attic.

But these houses also have their advantages. This is, first of all, the low cost of apartments and a good territorial location - close to the metro, in areas with developed infrastructure.

Typical layout of Brezhnevka apartments

Typical "Brezhnevka" houses were built during Brezhnev's time - from 1964 to the beginning of the 80s.

Unlike the Khrushchev buildings, such houses had a larger number of floors and an increased area of ​​apartments. In the very first apartments there was often a “Khrushchev refrigerator”, which was a closet under the kitchen window. This solution was borrowed from the Khrushchev era. The bathroom was created separately. Subsequently, the layout changed slightly; some of the solutions are still used today.

Brezhnevkas are characterized by an improved layout. But this is true only in relation to “Khrushchev” buildings; as for “Stalin” buildings, they are more comfortable for living. In Brezhnevka houses, the ceilings are not too high, the kitchens are small (about 7-9 m2). The number of rooms varies from 1 to 5.

One of the varieties of “brezhnevka” apartments are hotel-type apartments. They are small, their total area is 12-18 square meters. Such apartments were intended for temporary stay, but then most of them were assigned on a permanent basis.

The Brezhnev houses have an elevator, a garbage chute, and the ceiling height is 2.65 meters.

Most buildings are poorly insulated and have recently undergone major renovations to improve energy efficiency.
