The choice of lighting
Living room in Khrushchev, as a rule, has a low ceiling. Because of this feature of the room in the Khrushchev should be illuminated correctly. It is unacceptable to use in the interior of massive lighting fixtures, especially chandeliers, which are located in the center of the room. Stylish design in Khrushchev can be created using dimmed lighting around the perimeter of the room. Along the perimeter of the ceiling, you can set the spot lighting or create the illusion of space with the help of wall and floor lamps in certain areas of the living room. It is especially important to illuminate the zones in the passage rooms, this gives their design a mystery and unique charm.
Tip: Lamps must be installed in such a way that they emit stray light. Directional lighting can be used to create special zones, for example, an additional lamp can be installed to read from the chair.
For walk-through rooms, you must use a bright floor covering that will reflect the light from the upper lights. Examples of the correct placement of accents in the interior can be viewed in the photo.

We place accents in room design
The design of the room in the Khrushchev can not blindly follow fashion trends. Multi-level ceilings and massive decorative structures are unlikely to harmoniously fit into the general interior of the hall in Khrushchev.


When designing, preference is given to small, but bright and stylish accessories that harmoniously complement the interior. It should be noted that an excessive amount of small decor will visually split up the living room space. The design of the living room should contain only 2-3 not too massive objects that have a common color scheme. These can be decorative pillows, vases, paintings or photos.
You can decorate the window openings with the help of curtains made of light and light fabric or Japanese curtains panels.
