Many people remember Soviet geysers. Someone in childhood went to visit his grandmother, who had such an attitude. And others did ask their parents to light a fire in the column so that they could take a bath. Over time, geysers improved. The control interface has improved, more automation has been installed in the device. But besides the columns, the style of the interior of the premises changed over time, which undoubtedly entailed the need to organically fit in gas equipment. This article will describe in detail the methods that allow, taking into account the outdated heating device, to transform the design of the kitchen with a geyser.
The design of a gas water heater can be attractive and functional.

This stage is the most important and most enjoyable. The effectiveness of repairing a kitchen from a design point of view will depend on its positive outcome.
Such a “design” spoils the appearance of the kitchen
The presence of a gas column determines a number of limiting factors:
Installation of pipes is possible without calling a wizard. To do this, it is necessary to shut off the gas supply with a valve standing at the entrance to the column and carry out the wall chasing with a special tool (which can be rented).
There are certain rules for placing a gas column
The most specific component of the kitchen design issue with the presence of a gas column is that for this device a separate exhaust duct is required in the general house ventilation. In this case, the exhaust duct above the gas stove will have to be combined with the column duct. Also, this factor makes it difficult to transfer the boiler to another place in the apartment.
The design of the chimney for a geyser depends on the type of equipment and location
In addition to the disadvantages regarding the decorative plan, and the complexity of the repair, the gas water heater can also serve the benefit of their owner.
In addition to the main advantage of the geyser, which is expressed by the constant presence of hot water in the apartment, there are some advantages with respect to the design of the kitchen.
The geyser can become an integral part of the kitchen set
An open speaker should be combined with the interior of the room
Of course, for small kitchens of old Khrushchev, the presence of a column creates a lot of inconvenience, so there is a need for a visual increase in the kitchen space of the apartment, and hidden installation of a heating device.
Of particular importance when choosing a kitchen style, the presence or absence of a column does not make. With a sufficient size of the room, the geyser is not tolerated. She is left in the same place. If the case of the device is white, then this will favorably affect the overall design of the kitchen with the column. It can be decorated with special stickers that will be combined with the overall style of the kitchen interior. This can be done by glueing all kinds of decorative stickers, the color scheme of which will coincide with the general stylistic solution, or the previously chosen accent color.

The design of a small kitchen with a French-style column in the town of Provence will look very nice. The white facades of the kitchen unit will blend perfectly with the column of the same color. Provence involves the use of accents of floral arrangements and still lifes. This should be considered when choosing a pattern on the front of a gas heater.
The column is successfully combined with a hood and a perfume
Loft style implies stylistic responses of the production sphere of human labor. Here, the geyser will harmoniously fit into the overall interior, if its body is remade for any technological device. There is no need for hidden installation of gas pipes and water supply. Their open placement, on the contrary, will play into the hands of Loft’s overall style idea.
Industrial style lovers need not worry about the visibility of utilities
In such styles, the column is used as an interior decoration.
A similar organization of design of a kitchen with a gas water heater is also possible in the Hi-Tech style. In this case, the device case is preferable to buy a silver color.
With flush mounted speakers, a country-style interior is perfect. A delicate color palette expressed in white, blue and peach tones will be relevant both for dimly lit kitchen space and for bright rooms. The gas column is closed by a cabinet, so the color of its body does not matter. Wall decoration can be either plain, calm wallpaper or textured: for example, repeating the shape and color of natural stone.
Small kitchen with country style gas water heater
In old Khrushchevs, very often the kitchen has a balcony, which can be a way out of the situation with the column with a small quadrature. By combining the two rooms, it is possible to create a full island kitchen. Additional light that will penetrate from the wide windows of the balcony will bring freshness and comfort to the kitchen.
A dining area can be arranged on the balcony.
In addition, it is worth considering the option of combining the kitchen and the living room. The result is a studio apartment that allows you to accommodate the required number of household appliances in the kitchen. Also, such a layout is one of the ways to increase a small home.
A small kitchen with a gas water heater is ideally Scandinavian style, with its mannered coldness.The constant tightness in the kitchen also affects the bodily sensations of people, and the use of a soothing white color of the interior will bring a note of peace. Facades of kitchen furniture, a ceiling, a floor, and also a dining table with chairs should be white. Naturally, all household appliances, a refrigerator with a column, are also required to be bright. The only exception is the floor covering, which is predominantly chosen in dark brown shades.
Having designed the walls and an apron in white, you simply “dissolve” the column in the interior
Perhaps this is one of the easiest and most effective ways to integrate the column into the interior of the kitchen
The use of accents of this style is allowed, but with some restrictions. This applies to intense and vibrant colors that are not used by the Scandinavian style. Instead, peppercorns add dark green, brown or yellow tones. Most often they are expressed by plants, fruits or artificial decorative elements.
Interior design of a kitchen with a geyser becomes possible with the use of any style, when the heating device is hidden by the space of the cabinet or in another place. The duct connecting the boiler to the hood is also hidden. If the kitchen set implies illumination above the working area, then the cornice, on which the fixtures are mounted, will perfectly cope with the camouflage task.
For concealed installation of equipment it is advisable to use a cabinet with a lattice facade
It is worth paying attention to the column located inside the cabinet. It is necessary to exclude the possibility of foreign objects getting into such a cabinet (accordingly, nothing can be stored there).
An interesting option for masking a column using a false hood
To make such a decorative casing is quite simple
A very convenient option for placing a gas column in the lower cabinets. This frees up additional space in the kitchen, and also removes pipes, which, even with their hidden installation, will be noticeable.
It is worth clarifying that not any type of gas column can be placed in a hidden way. The earliest models of such devices, which had just entered into circulation, implied manual control. This is expressed by the ignition system, which was manual (from a match) or mechanical (piezoelectric element). Both options involve human participation.
Some speaker models are similar to pencil cases, which allows you to not hide them
For free access, the equipment is placed between the hanging cabinets.
For better heat exchange, the cabinet should be without bottom and top panels
Modern heaters are equipped with an automatic ignition system, which, when the valve is opened, automatically ignites the gas. The location of such a column is possible in any way, even closed.
Geysers come in two types - automatic and semi-automatic
The angular placement of the kitchen unit is one of the most convenient. This is especially true in rooms that are relatively small in size. For a room with a gas water heater, this type of furniture arrangement is used very often, and saves space. In this case, the heating system itself should be on a shorter wall. This will bring additional convenience when several people are here at the same time, and also will not interfere with the cooking process.
The column in the corner of the kitchen, covered with hanging cabinets, will not be evident
In relation to the small kitchen space of Khrushchev, to reveal the general conceived style of interior design will have to use all the possibilities. Even the refrigerator, which is usually purchased in white, will need to be decorated with different elements.
Furniture for hidden placement of the column can be ordered
The presence of a gas column is not a sentence.With a proper and careful approach to design, taking into account all the nuances, as well as following the tips of this article, you can adequately decorate your small kitchen, and have a great time on it.
