In Khrushchev-era buildings, the walls are extremely crooked, and the corners do not justify their name at all, since in fact they are round. It is clear that adequate renovation of a bathroom in a Khrushchev-era building should be budget-friendly and you need to save on some things. And I will tell you what you can save on, but it is not plaster.
plus have bumps and hollows. In other rooms this may not be so bad, but in the bathroom we finish the walls with tiles, put a bathtub against them. Crooked walls are simply impossible to tile normally, and a bathtub installed with gaps will destroy the entire appearance.
In those days, the issue of the curvature of the walls and the placement of the bathtub was solved with such a wretched plinth. For modern design, this is unacceptable.
The bathroom is small and plastering won't cost much, but it will reduce the area a little. There's no other choice. We align all the walls and take measurements again.
By the way, many people think that the smallest bathtubs are cast iron. In fact, they are acrylic. Read about standard bathtub sizes and which bathtub to choose.
2. No gaps
The bathroom is a place for hygienic procedures and at the linkedin data level, cleanliness and neatness in it are already perceived as beauty. Objects will be located very close and our task is to make the interior as monolithic as possible. An example of a bathroom from Korea, where apartments are very small and bathrooms are even smaller than in Khrushchev-era buildings:
At a minimum, cover the bathtub with tiles, hang a cabinet and choose a sink mounted on the countertop (since the countertop can be ordered exactly to size). For ease of cleaning and unloading the sink, it is better to attach the toothbrush holder to the wall. In general, try to ensure that nothing is just standing in plain sight.
Since most bathrooms in Khrushchev-era buildings are combined with a toilet, it is absolutely necessary to choose a wall-hung toilet with installation to implement a modern design. If the renovation is very budget-friendly, look for promotional options, they are almost always available. Even the cheapest wall-hung toilet is better than any floor-standing one.
