Rules for a good dressing room

If the house or apartment has an unused corner of sufficient area, it is quite possible to make a full-fledged dressing room in it. A pantry or an attic is perfect for this role, it is enough to install a partition and equip the shelves. Any dressing room must obey the following rules.

The size is not less than 1 * 1.5 m. In a narrower dressing room, it will not be possible to install shelves or it will be impossible to enter it, which will significantly reduce functionality.
To make the room comfortable, you should take care of installing a mirror. This will make it easier and faster to put together a successful outfit every day.
You need to take care of ventilation. If the natural is not enough, it is worth installing a forced one. Otherwise, the musty smell will haunt you constantly.
If there is no window in the corner in which it was decided to make a dressing room, sufficient lighting must also be provided.
The most successful door to the dressing room is the compartment. She will not eat up an already limited space. In addition, due to its peculiarities, it will provide an influx of fresh air. And it is easier to decorate such a door than a swing door.
It is imperative to plan the internal structure in advance. This will take into account all the features and preferences of the owner of the new dressing room.

Planning

A walk-in closet is a closet that you can enter. It is from this rule that it is worth starting from if it is decided to make it yourself. First of all, you need to draw a plan for the future storage corner, taking into account preferences and some rules. The correct interior design of the dressing room will save a lot of space. What rules should be considered when planning a new wardrobe or wardrobe?

The height of the compartment for thick outerwear is from 150 cm.
Compartment for light outerwear - from 100 cm.
The height of the shoe shelves is the height of the most voluminous box + 10 cm.
The height of the shelves for the main things is selected individually, but usually no higher than 40-45 cm. It is extremely difficult to store trousers and sweaters neatly on higher shelves. Better to make more shelves.
The width of each compartment, of course, the larger the better, but the approximate stock can also be calculated by inspecting your clothing stocks.
You should not make shelves without a minimum margin in height and width. Free space is required for ventilation.
Better to opt for quantity. It is more convenient to store a thing folded in several units. Tall stacks will inevitably shift, creating a mess.
Some items, such as socks and underwear, are easier to store in drawers or baskets with good ventilation.
For frequently used wardrobe items, the shelves should be at chest level or slightly lower.
The removable shelves have proven themselves superb. Their installation will allow you to change the design of the wardrobe without global alterations.

Before you start making a dressing room with your own hands, you need to approve the final plan. This will allow you to accurately calculate the material consumption and avoid rework.

Material and finish

A good material for assembling a dressing room is chipboard.

For the dressing room, you can use any furniture materials. Natural wood, chipboard and laminate are perfect. These materials absorb moisture and return it to the environment as conditions change. Wood and its derivatives are easy to work with, reliable and durable. But care must be taken to ensure proper and sufficient processing so that the new cabinet does not ruin things.

You can also use drywall, but it must be borne in mind that it is quite heavy and the shelf from it will bend under its own weight. This building material can be used for partitions, because the reliability of the walls of the dressing room does not play a decisive role. In addition, drywall will absorb excess moisture, thereby ensuring the safety of things.

For the interior decoration of the dressing room, you can use the same materials as for decorating the room. If the updated wardrobe and bedroom are designed in the same style, it will emphasize the taste of the owners. Wardrobes, painted in bright colors or pasted over with wallpaper, look stylish and original. And a special chic is the dressing room, decorated with wood panels.

It is always worth remembering that the dressing room is an enclosed space and you must definitely take care of maintaining the correct humidity level.

Pouches containing moisture-absorbing material, such as silica gel, can help solve the problem.

How to make a dressing room so that things are stored in one place and you do not have to look for them in different rooms and wardrobes. Its installation does not require a large area, even in small apartments, if desired, there is a suitable place.

Plus a dressing room made by yourself - it will be made in the way that is convenient for you, it will cost much less, because the material in the house will go to work. Another positive side is that its presence will relieve you of unnecessary furniture in the apartment.

Where to start making

There are many ideas for equipping a dressing room. There are all kinds of systems, devices for storing things. Getting down to business, you should think about and plan the course of work in advance.

Layout and drawing

It is worth starting with determining the location, dimensions of the dressing room and a drawing of the plan, indicating the dimensions. A drawing is drawn on a reduced scale, planned systems, fixtures, and boxes are inserted. Systems should be distributed ergonomically without overloading the space.

When planning, it is necessary to take into account the distance between the shelves:

for storing things - at least 30 cm;
for shoes (without heels) - 20 cm;
for shirts, jackets, jackets - 120 cm;
trousers - from 100 - 140 cm;
dresses - 150 - 180 cm;
coat - 180 cm.

From above, it is more practical to make shelves for things that are not often used. And below, a place for a vacuum cleaner is recommended.

The dressing room is not done in a walk-through room; it is better to place it between the bedroom and the bathroom.

Filling

With a limited area, it is not recommended to make furniture from wood, MDF, chipboard in the dressing room. This material will reduce a small area. Metal storage systems are popular today, they are lightweight, modular. Installed on special racks mounted on the wall, floor, ceiling. The racks are equipped with many notches, with the help of which the height of the shelves is quickly adjusted. Shelves are made of wood, metal, plastic. Shelves are of a pull-out type.

These storage systems are sold but expensive. It is more economical to do it yourself, from a chrome-plated furniture pipe.

There are many options for arranging dressing rooms: bars for trousers, skirts, all kinds of shoe racks, drawers for little things. They are retractable - convenient and functional

Material selection

Suitable for manufacturing:

Wood (chipboard) is a common material, capable of withstanding the load of things, absorbing moisture, and economical.
Plastic - plastic panels of different sizes are used.
Metal - aluminum is more commonly used, it is lightweight and durable. The structure is well ventilated. At a cost - more expensive than chipboard.
Glass - contributes to the visual expansion of the space. Suitable for high-tech, modern style.

Finishing is done from any material: wallpaper, glass wallpaper, ceramic tiles.

When finishing, you should take into account the location of additional lamps for the shelves, having made holes in advance. The built-in mirror in the door looks original

How to make a dressing room: open and closed type

When choosing a type, you should take into account all the nuances: location and rational use of the area.

Open view

Open dressing room - a structure for storing things, not fenced off by a partition from the living space. She should correspond to the general style of the room. Recommended for use when there is a shortage of free space in small apartments.

Plus the open design - everything is at hand. Minus - clothes are gathering dust, they should be placed carefully so as not to spoil the appearance of the room

Closed view

The closed dressing room is fenced off from the room by a wall and has doors. It provides order in the room, since the contents of the cabinet are hidden.
Closed dressing room with a large area, has a well-thought-out organization of the storage system.

A closed wardrobe is convenient, allows you to try on and take care of clothes right in the dressing room. The arrangement requires a lot of space, which is not possible in ordinary apartments.

DIY dressing room example

The first step is to note the height and width of the shelves, rolling doors in the niche of the future wardrobe. In our case, the depth of the niche is 1.4 m, taking into account the protruding box

The box is necessary for hiding pipes and installing a water meter. Do not forget to leave space between the shelves, because titanium will be present in the dressing room. In the same place, between the shelves, we have provided a place for an outlet.

We bought a 5 × 5 bar to solve the rolling door placement issue. Reason: the ceiling height is 275 cm, but the stretch ceiling takes another 10 cm;
At the top and bottom, we will install aluminum rails for door mobility;

In the Leroy Merlin hypermarket, where we bought, there is a service for cutting shelves using a large machine. Having previously measured the length and width, having estimated everything on paper, we ordered shelves with a width of 30 cm and 60 cm. The service is very convenient, because shelves ready for installation will be brought to your home. You will have to work with a hacksaw only if the corners are uneven;

Do not forget about the additions for finishing the cabinet on top, which we buy in wenga colors. The width of the extension is 10 cm. To attach the hangers, we purchase two round metal holders. We check again: the distance between the shelves is 40 cm, we fix the small corners 5 cm from the edge of the board. We place large corners immediately below them, so that later we can attach the end guide to the floor and wall (it will have to withstand a heavy load);
We fix two large corners in width, and in height - 4. For this stage of work we will take care of buying a level;
We recommend using the long level. In order to install the end guide without problems, it is necessary to screw the corners on the floor in advance. Do not forget to measure the distance with the level on the wall. Then we proceed to the installation;
We originally planned to create a dressing room, although the box is made of drywall. Previously, they missed aluminum guides inside, which are attached with corners;
Correct the length of the aluminum guide using a metal hacksaw. On the right side of the wardrobe there is a sliding door that can slide to the side, and on the left there is a large shelf 60-2.70. Internal shelves are fixed to the latter;
We repeat that the top is trimmed with a 10 cm wenge-colored finish;

Inside the wardrobe, but already on the left side, there is a place at the bottom for boots and other shoes. A lot of shelves are installed here, a socket is removed. We left a place for titanium. To the left is a niche 25.5 cm deep. During installation, we used shelves with a length of 30 cm to accommodate more boxes;

Dressing room type

Arrangement of a dressing room is an important point, it is worth considering the installation location, and based on this, choose the type of model.

Angular

An excellent option if there is a free corner in the room. A corner cabinet is more practical than a straight one. It can accommodate: shelves, drawers, rods.

Corner cabinet zoning is carried out in different ways. Decorate the corner with plasterboard and make doors, hinged or sliding. It is possible to fence off the corner with doors, like a compartment

Linear

Linear - similar to a large wardrobe. It is mounted along the wall, on which there are no window and door openings. It is fenced off from the room in several ways:

plasterboard wall with sliding doors;
sliding doors on the whole wall;
cornice on the ceiling with a curtain.

Linear model with open shelving, looks great in a loft-style room. The main thing is to successfully choose the material and color scheme of the cabinet for the overall interior.

U-shaped

U-shaped - ideal for a long room. There is a bed on one side, a dressing room on the other. It can be in the form of cabinets or as a full-fledged room.

Having fenced off the space, you should think over the lighting, divide it into 4 zones: for outerwear, shoes, short clothes and for trying on

Parallel

This type, designers advise to use in wide, long corridors. Consists of two closets facing each other.

Parallel dressing room can be closed, in the form of cabinets or open, with shelves and shelves

Dressing room dimensions

The dimensions of the dressing room are determined taking into account its location and use. Ideally, it should have a place to store clothes and an area to change clothes.
The optimal size is calculated individually, it is necessary to take into account:

size, location, shape of the room;
presence of a niche;
location of windows and doors.

Measurements must be made accurately so that no difficulties arise during the installation process.
The width is different, it is calculated as follows:

if the cabinet is on one wall, the width is its depth, plus the width of the doors;
in the absence of doors, but the presence of drawers, width - two depths;
when placing two cabinets opposite each other, the width is two cabinet depths, plus two door widths and a passage.

A prerequisite to the size - the doors should open freely and not interfere with the unhindered entry into the room. If the dressing room is narrow, you should not make large wardrobes.

Ventilation and lighting for the dressing room

In the dressing room, ventilation is imperative, as odors will appear in a closed space. It should be planned in advance. There are two types:

Natural - air enters from below and exits from above. To arrange ventilation, it is necessary to make holes in the cabinet, below and above, for air movement. This method does not always give a full-fledged result.
Forced - means the installation of a fan in the hole. Better, put a forced draft - will provide a suitable atmosphere for storing things.

An exhaust hole is made on the opposite side from the inlet. Great if the exhaust vent goes out into the ventilation

The dimensions of the holes must be determined in accordance with the area of the dressing room.
A wardrobe is not a closet, but a room with shelves and drawers. Good lighting is essential to quickly find the item you are looking for. Better multi-zone:

on the ceiling - general lighting;
to illuminate the shelves - additional swivel lamps.

The ideal solution is to install a motion detector to turn on the lights. It is economical and convenient. And the lighting of the shelves looks beautiful and stylish

Wardrobe doors

When making a wardrobe with your own hands, it is important to choose the right doors. The comfort and convenience of using the premises depends on the well-chosen model. Common types are:

Swinging arms are practical, but they require space. Protect from sunlight, dust, with a high degree of sound insulation. In terms of cost, they are the most affordable.
Accordion - the doors are compact, folded like a screen. The design is fragile and consists of many slats.
Coupes are popular, the movement of the doors is carried out along the cabinet, no additional space is required.
Roto door is a non-standard solution. Suitable for loft, high-tech style. The door is installed on a special mechanism, it allows it to rotate around its axis and open in any direction. Free space is required for installation.
Pencil case - the doors are hidden in the wall, no extra space is required. Convenient for small apartments. But the installation of such a structure is difficult, without experience, it is difficult to do it yourself.

The accordion doors look beautiful. They transform the room, adding some zest to the interior.

The material for the manufacture of doors is different:

Wood looks aesthetically pleasing and is an environmentally friendly material. But a wooden door is heavy and expensive.
Glass or mirror is popular today. Doors decorated with stained glass will decorate the room, make it bigger.
Plastic is lightweight and cheap. Plastic doors are less durable and less attractive.

To make the door to the dressing room look stylish, it should be decorated with sandblasted mirror inserts or embossed glass elements.

The door looks original and unusual, giving the apartment a modern, fashionable look. But not suitable for the classic style

Arrangement: filling and storage systems

For the practical use of the dressing room, you should properly equip it, choose acceptable options for storage systems. You should not come up with complex, intricate designs.

Garment placement system

There are different designs for storing things, the main ones are.

Storage systems	Hull	Modular design, consists of sections with walls: side, bottom, top. It is located close to the wall and is fixed into a single complex. Made of chipboard.
	Wireframe	Model made of metal studs attached to walls, floor and ceiling. On it are installed: rods, hooks, holders. Installation is simple, it is possible to move elements and good ventilation of things.
	Panel complex	These are decorative panels fixed to the wall, modular storage elements are attached to them. The system has no side divisions, no floor or ceiling. The cost of the complex is not cheap.
	Mesh	The model is universal. A horizontal rail bolted to the wall to which the slats are mounted. Brackets, shelves, hangers are installed on them.

There are accessories for skirts, trousers and tie hangers, and clips on them allow you to secure the item. Very convenient if the hanger slides out

Shoe storage system

There is always a lot of shoes in the house, it is important to organize a system for storing them, compact and convenient. The ideal solution is to arrange shoes on shelves or in special cabinets. It is good if there is a compartment of the appropriate size for each type of shoe. And when using pull-out shelves, space is saved.

If space permits, it is worth equipping a full-fledged built-in storage system for shoes. It has special shoe sections - it is convenient to use, the shoes do not get dusty. Shoe racks are produced in different sizes and have different installation methods, so it is easy to choose for any dressing room.

The original design for shoes - looks like pins with modules on a retractable frame. Compact and convenient system

Racks

Shelving - construction, consists of racks and attached open shelves. Usually metal. Access to things stored on the shelves is free. Their main advantage is modularity. They exist in different sizes and the number of shelves.

Where to make a dressing room

Not every apartment has a place for a full dressing room; you have to equip it in the most suitable premises.

Dressing room in the hallway

It is convenient to make a dressing room in the hallway, you can not clutter up the rooms with large wardrobes. The dressing room in the hallway implies the storage of outerwear, but with the space allowed, you can equip the storage for all things. A good option is a built-in wardrobe, finished to match the walls of the hallway itself. A mirror is an indispensable detail; you cannot do without it in the hallway.
You can do:

Closed - a large wardrobe, often with compartment-type doors.
Open - racks, shelves, hooks for clothes. The option requires adherence to order, since all things are in sight, but takes up less space.
Combined - consists of closed cabinets and open shelves. Conveniently, things that are not often used are tucked away in a closed part.

A walk-in closet should be installed along a large wall. If the area is small, ideally - corner, from floor to ceiling

Arrangement of a dressing room in the bedroom

The bedroom is the most suitable room for a wardrobe. The models are different - with a large area, it is possible to make an entire dressing room. If the bedroom does not allow, then it is better to use:

open shelves and mobile hangers decorated with decorative drawers;
a small built-in drywall wardrobe;
partitions made of mirror or glass, which will visually enlarge the room.

The dressing room in the bedroom, fenced off by a screen or curtain on the curtain, looks good. This storage system is convenient in a small room

Dressing room design from the pantry

Making a closet in the closet is a good solution, especially for small apartments. It is simple to do it - you need to remove everything unnecessary, trim it in light colors (this will increase the space), replace the doors (better as a compartment) and fill with: racks, racks, shelves.
Since the pantries are small, you should equip them with mirrors, thereby making them larger.

Dressing room in Khrushchev instead of pantry

Khrushchev is a small apartment with a standard layout. The only plus is the presence of a pantry, it is easy to convert it into a dressing room on your own. Depending on the size, you can make from it:

built-in wardrobe - a niche already exists, it remains to put doors and install shelves, hangers;
equip with a complete system for storing things - dividing into zones and filling with functional systems.

It is important to think over the arrangement of furniture and shelving. For rational use - spaces should be used from ceiling to floor

In the attic

Plus the attic dressing room - saving living space, the ability to collect things in one room, making it easy to find them. In such a room, there is room for all types of clothing and for a fitting room.

The layout should be done based on the shape of the attic. If the attic is sloped, then the dressing room should be placed along the lowest or highest wall. Rational use of the attic is obtained with a corner dressing room.

Attic dressing room - an ideal solution, trying on in front of a mirror, choosing the right set of clothes in a comfortable environment

It is possible to organize a convenient storage for things almost everywhere. It is not difficult to make your own dressing room, having fenced off part of the room with doors, chipboard leaves, drywall. But this method is not acceptable in standard apartments, but niches are often found in them - an almost finished dressing room, the main thing is to equip it correctly.

It is easier for the owner of private houses, if space permits, you can give an entire room for a dressing room, an attic room is especially suitable. Experts recommend zoning the space.

The plus of a do-it-yourself dressing room is the ability to design it for yourself, providing for the zones and elements that you need. In addition, the opportunity to show your design skills, to make a one-of-a-kind dressing room.

The appearance of the dressing room located in the room must correspond to the general style, otherwise the interior of the entire room will suffer

Layout of the dressing room

The main desire to create a room for things is the inability to fit them in an ordinary closet. Because of this, clothes are found throughout the living space, and there is a need for a specially designated place, making the house cozy and tidy. If you are planning to create a dressing room interior design in an apartment or house, then this article is for you.

Walk-in closet

Having carefully examined the apartment or house, we determine the placement of the dressing rooms, the design and the project, looking at the existing photos and choosing our own layout. There are often three types of layouts:

A place in the corner of the room will visually round it and make it seem like it looks larger in size. This innovation will bring creativity and personality to the home. Such a choice is relevant and is used by many people so as not to occupy the space of the entire room.
If the room is too narrow, then a dressing room with the shape of the letter "P" is created from this position. One edge of the room or dead end is used.
In the case of a wide and spacious area, one wall can be distinguished along the entire length. Racks and racks are placed in one line, creating a cozy and unusual atmosphere in the room.

Small dressing rooms design projects and photos

The small footage of apartments significantly affects the mood of its owners. However, even in small apartments, an area can be distinguished for fulfilling an old dream.

To organize small dressing rooms you need it in the bedroom, for this, projects are drawn up, and many existing photos with similar designs are analyzed. If the dimensions do not allow you to accommodate several meters of the dressing room, then you can consider the pantry, they are available in almost every apartment where old obscene items are stored. Also use the corner or edge of a narrow space in the dead end of the room.

The allotted place is equipped with the ability to maneuver, nothing should interfere with the deployment near the shelves and racks. Arrange the wardrobe taking into account the ventilation and dryness of the room so that the clothes are not damaged. At the same time, the presence of a mirror is mandatory, because the time for choosing a suitable outfit is reduced, without departing from all types of clothing available.

Dressing room interior design in a spacious apartment

The design of the dressing room is much easier to do in spacious rooms, but there are also nuances. It is necessary to take into account the style, the correct selection of colors and the necessary components.

The dressing room needs to be created in large sizes so that you can move freely around it and try on outfits. It is important to make an ottoman or a small armchair in the middle of the room so that it is convenient to arrange a fitting.

Dressing room interior design should look impressive and alluring, because for a woman this is a particularly important criterion. Here, the beautiful half of humanity gets satisfaction from various clothes and shoes, and considers this corner to be their happiness and relaxation.

Dressing room in the bedroom

A visually convenient and attractive option for placing a dressing room is a bedroom. It is possible to divide the types of construction of structures into several points:

The sleeping area is allocated and closed with a plasterboard sheet, thus dividing the room into two parts. Lighting and ventilation are carried out in advance. After that, racks, rods and boxes are installed according to the taste of the owner of the apartment.
A cabinet is inserted into the previously selected wall. It should contain specially equipped components capable of storing clothes in a vertical and horizontal position.
An open dressing room is created without partitions. It does not constrict the visual space and allows you to move freely and without obstacles.
A screen made of soft canvas is used, creating coziness and comfortable movement.

It is easier to equip a room for clothes and accessories in an elongated bedroom. But if it is not possible to use a lot of space, then a built-in wardrobe is the best choice.

Cloakroom in the closet

Without occupying separate rooms and keeping the footage of the living space, they choose to design a dressing room in the pantry. You don't need a lot of space for this, 1.5-2 square meters is enough. This room can accommodate small quantities of hangers and ordinary boxes. But even the optimal dressing room will save the owners from problems with the presence of clutter and placement of things.

Putting a closet or other furniture in the pantry will not work, so you can build ordinary rods at an acceptable height from the ceiling, and arrange neat shelves. From the correct planning of the space, the efficiency of the dressing room will improve. Lattices are installed under the shoes in the closet, they make it possible to place the necessary things in a row.

After removing unnecessary trash from the place where the dressing room will be located, creating the correct design plan, and choosing a style, you can start decorating it.

To begin with, it is necessary to carry out ventilation capable of passing air into an enclosed space. Things should be in a well-ventilated place, otherwise they will quickly become unusable. You also need to pay attention to the lighting equipment, because daylight will not penetrate into the dressing room, so it is better to think about bright lighting in advance.

Walls

It is necessary to start finishing the dressing room from the walls. Remove old plaster using special tools. Get rid of the wallpaper, as they will not be needed in the future according to the plan. The walls need to be leveled with new materials. If left in the old position, it is likely that the racks and shelves will not be placed evenly.

Plasterboard can be used to accurately level the walls, as well as PVC panels. With this choice, a corner of the corresponding color is used to connect the ceiling and walls.

Floor

Having previously finished work with the walls, you need to carefully consider the finish of the floor, since a person will be on it for a long time and choose clothes, which means that the floor must be covered with a pleasant and comfortable material. In this case, linoleum or laminate is used, in accordance with the quality and price.

Ceiling

Having dealt with the walls, the ceiling is made to match it. If PVC panels were used, then it is necessary to cover the upper part of the room with them, so as not to deviate from the style and color of the room. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the color of the furniture and the components of the dressing room.

With a high ceiling, you can use gypsum cardboard to make the room level and tidy.

Having carefully planned the compartments for the clothes of all family members, you can go to dressing rooms, design projects and its components on Photo... They use barbells. They are needed to accommodate the length of the garment. Having correctly estimated the height of your outfits, you need to calculate how many rods to install, and at what height they will be. To save space, pantographs are used. They release the barbell to the required level. Thus, dresses, trousers and long outerwear will be at an acceptable height and will not wrinkle.

The organization of the boxes is carried out independently, and they are arranged according to the type of linen. In the future, this convenient thing can also be used for accessories (belts, ties, scarves). A large number of dividers in a drawer will determine its functional feature and will help to more conveniently place various items.

Shelves and racks are suitable for keeping things in sequence, but they are expensive.

Ordinary baskets and boxes can replace cabinets for accessories. They are made to match the style of the entire dressing room and are used for clothing that does not belong to the current season.

For shoes, a special place is designed where it will not undergo modifications and deformations. Special care and the creation of a separate module will allow you to keep your shoes for many seasons. The convenient location of the mirror is also taken into account so that you can see yourself at full height and in good lighting.

The issue of storing multiple items is usually one of the most important for many families. The modern outlook on life involves a fairly extensive set of clothes for each of the family members. Clothes are also supplemented with household items, which also require storage space. In this situation, it is already difficult to do with ordinary cabinets. The solution to the problem is to set up a separate room in the apartment - a pantry, or, as it is now fashionable to call it, a dressing room that can accommodate sets of seasonal clothes for all family members.

Capacious storage in a small area

The convenience of the dressing room is undeniable. But the solution to the issue of building a dressing room is complicated by the fact that the lifestyle has changed, more items of clothing have appeared in the wardrobe of a modern person, and the area of the dwelling has not increased.

In new buildings, the layout of an apartment may already initially have a place suitable for arranging a spacious storage facility, or even a separate room is provided. Old small apartments most often have a small storage room and a mezzanine. How to allocate space for a dressing room arrangement - consider the layout options in standard apartments.

apartment with storage room;

Small apartments in many cases have built-in storage rooms. Sometimes it is a small niche-wardrobe located in the corridor between two rooms, or quite spacious storage rooms for the entire width of the room. You will only have to dismantle outdated structures, replacing them with modern sliding doors. This will increase the storage space by moving the partition separating the closet to the side of the room - sliding doors do not require "dead" space to open the sash.

a room with an alcove;

Some apartments have an alcove - a rather large niche. This option is ideal for a dressing room.

separate part of the room;

If your bedroom looks like an elongated rectangle, you can separate part of the room with a partition, bringing the bedroom closer to a square shape. In order not to take up space, it is better to make the partition mobile, using sliding doors or curtains for this. Another option would be a triangular or trapezoidal wardrobe device, separating the corner in the room with sliding structures.

complete redevelopment of the apartment;

This option will allow you to form a completely new space for the apartment, highlighting the most suitable places for the location of living rooms and the arrangement of utility rooms during planning. But this approach requires significant financial investments, and changing the planning solution requires approval and permission.

Layout options for apartments with a dressing room arrangement can be different, they depend on the individual needs of the family and the available space of the apartment.

We take into account the needs, use the opportunities

Even if you have a spacious apartment at your disposal, you should not scatter centimeters: a well-thought-out storage layout and modern storage systems not only save space, but also offer functional solutions that are easy to use.

Advice. When arranging a dressing room, use modern ready-made storage systems: they allow the most efficient use of space.

The layout of the storage system elements depends on:

Opportunities... The choice of storage equipment depends on how many square meters you managed to allocate for storage systems in the dressing room and what shape the room turned out to be.
Needs... Everyday habits and sets of clothes are different for people: someone needs to store evening dresses with a train, someone's wardrobe consists of suits and a collection of ties, and the other tie has none, but needs to store sportswear and travel equipment.

When choosing a wardrobe layout and a storage system configuration, conduct an audit of your cabinets: evaluate how many and what type of hangers, shelves, and drawers you need. At the same time, you may find in the depths of the closet things that can be turned over to the Salvation Army.

Variants of dressing room arrangement schemes

The internal structure of the dressing room, as mentioned above, depends on how much space is available for the location of shelves and hangers, on the shape of the room and on what and in what quantities you are going to store. Consider several common options for planning solutions.

arrangement of shelves and hangers along one long wall. From the point of view of use, this is the best option: when you open the sliding doors, the entire inner space of the dressing room is in front of you and there is easy access to all the shelves and hangers.

The minimum width of the room is 1200 mm: 600 mm per passage, 600 mm per shelves.

Separate rooms for dressing rooms are available only in new buildings, and even then their area leaves much to be desired. There is no need to talk about old apartments at all. Therefore, the first step is to find free or underutilized space.

Most often this is a niche in the wall or a storage room. In this case, it will be enough to equip the storage system inside and close the opening with a door or at least a curtain.

If there are no such places in the apartment or their area is too small, you will have to "bite off" part of the living room. There are several options here:

a place along one of the blank walls - the space is delimited by a screen or curtain;
the corner at the junction of two walls - the dressing room is separated by a plasterboard partition;
the space behind the bed - a false wall is being erected at the head of the same gypsum board.

Ideally, the entrance to the dressing room should be from the bedroom. If the living space is very modest, the storage place can be equipped in the hallway, corridor or even on the loggia, provided that it is combined with the room and.

The next step is to clean and prepare all surfaces for further work. Free up the selected space completely: take out things, remove shelves, hangers and hooks.

If the walls are in poor condition, clean them of old plaster and wallpaper, then. Remove the old floor and tidy up the base. Do not rush with the topcoat, you will need it later.

3. Decide on the shape

It is important to choose the right configuration for the rational use of the available space. Depending on the number and location of storage areas, there are several types of dressing rooms.

Which one works best will depend on the space available. In this case, the more important parameter is the width of the room, the length can be any.

One-sided dressing room

The most modest option. The shelves are located along one of the side walls. You need at least 1.35 m wide: 60 cm for the storage area, 70 cm for the doorway and 10 cm for the door trim. If you cut it, then you can fit in 1.2 m.

A special case of a one-sided configuration is an L-shaped dressing room. With sufficient length, it is easy to expand the shelves by adding additional shelves opposite the door.

Double sided dressing room

To install shelving along both side walls, you need at least 1.5 m. In this case, 60 cm will be occupied by the main storage area, 30 cm by an auxiliary storage area with shallow shelves, and another 60 cm will remain for passage. With a width of 1.75 m, you can already fit two full racks with a depth of 60 cm with a minimum passage of 55 cm between them.

If there is 2 m width, then in addition to the two side storage areas of 60 cm each, one more is added - the central one, 80 cm.For easy access to clothes, rods for hangers are installed in the corners and positioned with an overlap from right to left so that you can move close things to the side and get to the hidden ones.

If you are planning this, be sure to calculate the required dimensions so that everything will fit.

5. Choose a storage system

Shelves, holders and other filling of the dressing room can have a different design. Basically, there are three varieties: case, modular and tubular. Each has its own characteristics.

Hull

In this system, shelves, side racks, drawers and everything except hanger bars are made of laminated chipboard. The parts are interconnected by confirmations and can be hung on the wall or just stand on the floor. Strong, reliable, quite budget. It is realistic to assemble it yourself if you calculate the dimensions and order a sawing service in the store.

Modular

A more modern and expensive option. It is made up of individual modules, which are suspended from the wall rail with hooks. Mesh shelves and baskets, if desired, can be rearranged at any time, arranging for changing needs. The design is very easy to assemble, scalable and has an attractive, "airy" look.

Tubular

The simplest and most budgetary system of all. It is built from thin-walled furniture pipes that can be attached to walls, ceilings and floors and interconnected using special fittings. Shelves are made of chipboard or plywood. The system is easy to assemble by yourself with a minimum set of tools.

Even in the smallest dressing room, a light source is indispensable. Ideally, there should even be two of them: the ceiling version and the lighting above the shelves.

For installation upstairs, it is better to choose built-in spotlights so as not to steal the height of the room and not to touch the chandelier with your hands when changing clothes. For shelves, it is most convenient to use LED strips. If desired, you can install lamps with a sensor, which will turn on from motion or when doors are opened.

In a windowless room with a lot of clothes, the air will stagnate and things may have a musty smell. To avoid this, ventilation must be installed in the dressing room.

The easiest way is to install jalousie doors through which air exchange will take place. More complicated and correct is the installation of an exhaust fan, which is connected to the central one. It starts on a timer or when the lighting is turned on. Air inflow is carried out through the same blinds in the door or the grill in its lower part.

If there is no way to do either one or the other, just leave the door at least slightly ajar for air to enter.

If the dressing room is equipped not in a specially designated room, but in a living room, to divide the space, it is necessary to create partitions that will serve as walls.

The easiest way to do them is from the gypsum board. For this, a frame is assembled from metal profiles, which is then sheathed with sheets of drywall. If you plan to fasten the storage system to the walls, then at the installation stage, you should reinforce the frame with mortgages from a wooden bar in the right places.

After assembly, the walls are leveled with a thin layer of putty, and then painted or. The design, as a rule, is chosen monochromatic in light colors so that things are clearly distinguishable against the background of the walls.

The floor of the dressing room can be the same as in the room, or different. Laminate is suitable as a covering. When the ceiling, walls and floor are ready, you can start forming shelves, racks and other filling of the dressing room. The previously purchased and cut parts must be laid out in the next room, and then gradually assembled on site according to the instructions or a previously created drawing.

By and large, you can do without a door to the dressing room, but it is better to close the opening anyway - it will be more aesthetically pleasing and will save things from dust.

The simplest option is a thick fabric curtain or screen. More difficult and correct is the installation of an interior door. It should be the same as in other rooms, so as not to stand out from the overall design. The only exceptions are special louvered doors for dressing rooms.
