Small kitchen: 6 square meters
Kitchens in Khrushchevs are not very large. This circumstance forces many to puzzle over how to fit in a tiny room a fairly large refrigerator, a full-fledged stove with an oven, storage systems, a sink and everything else that is necessary for cooking and washing dishes. We found a vivid example of how to do this at the lowest cost, while visually expanding the space and making it functional.
