It is always nice to realize that the house is in perfect order and every thing is in its place. This is especially true of the dressing area, room or closet, where it is often quite difficult to place clothes, shoes and accessories for each family member.
Today we will talk not so much about specific cases of improper organization of the dressing room, but we will talk about the general rules for placing everything you need within the closet or a separate area for storing clothes.
The main mistakes in arranging wardrobes
You probably know the feeling of frustration when a lot of time is spent looking for the right thing, or there is no place in the main wardrobe for the necessary everyday little things. Such situations happen when the space of a closet or dressing room is arranged with errors, without taking into account the installation of mandatory and secondary compartments, or simply due to ignorance of elementary rules.
Error - not enough light
The installation of lighting fixtures should take place even before the installation of the wardrobe structure (shelves, rods, drawers), because without them it will not be easy for you to find things in the twilight of the morning or evening.
Light should be used around the perimeter of the dressing room so that the appliances (if there are several) illuminate each main compartment.
For example:
- A lamp over a shoe rack.
- Lamp above the compartment with hangers.
- Lamp over cabinet with drawers.

Error - illiterate use of space
When the owners have a separate wardrobe area at their disposal, you can’t use it on a whim, that is, thoughtlessly and intuitively, because you can miss the opportunity to place things so that there is enough space for an off-season wardrobe, winter shoes or bedding.
The dressing room must be well thought out, and the design of the cabinets should provide for the presence of sections of different sizes and purposes: for outerwear, for festive things, for shoes, for accessories, for trousers, for linen and other things.
Below is a diagram of an approximate organization of the dressing room, with which you can agree or at least compare the existing arrangement of things in your room.

When ordering a dressing room design, you should clarify the presence of upper compartments for storing winter clothes, hats, bedspreads and other things that you do not use often. Remember, the dressing room will become more functional and spacious if it is installed along the wall from the floor to the ceiling.

Mistake - lack of order
Most often, the inability to find a specific item and place a new purchase is due to a simple mess and a wardrobe glut with stale sweaters, dresses and trousers that "we will wear when ..."
Do not deceive yourself that the thing will serve in the future, because if we do not wear something for more than two years, we most likely will never wear it. Is it necessary to occupy space with something that went out of fashion (worn out, faded, does not fit) a few seasons ago, when there is a need to place new relevant and good things.
Take the time and carefully go through your wardrobe, weeding out the excess, then the closet will be transformed, and there will be a place to distribute things, for example, by purpose, colors, style or belonging to the season.

There should be a lot of compartments with hangers
Very often you can notice that even in a spacious closet or dressing room there are not enough sections for things that need to be stored in a straightened form, that is, on trempels. As a result, it takes a long time to re-ironing shirts, blouses and dresses made of fine fabrics.

Remember: there should be three times fewer shelves and drawers in the dressing room than sections with rods and hangers - this will help extend the life of things and maintain their presentable appearance.

Organize a shoe department
Any footwear, be it men's shoes, women's pumps, or summer flip flops, should not be accidentally squeezed between things, or criminally folded into a container in a shapeless pile. Shoes and boots from this are easily and irrevocably deformed, losing their original appearance.
Therefore, in order for the shoes to please with their appearance for a long time, special shelves should be equipped in the dressing room, or a slim cabinet should be placed. To store children's shoes, you can hang a holder with pockets on a wall, door or cabinet door - unusual and compact.

Use containers and additional rods
The niches formed between the wardrobe sections should not remain empty - you can put neat containers in them, closed or transparent, in which it is convenient to store bedspreads, rubber boots or high winter shoes.
Outside the dressing room or outside the closet, for example, in a niche or wall, install a bar - hang your evening clothes, evening dresses and jackets on it.

Free access to things
When equipping a dressing room, it is important to know that its shelves should not be too deep, ideally, 30-35 cm deep will be enough. So, all things, on trempels or stacked in piles, will remain in sight, and it will be easy for you to find the right one.
It is also recommended to use transparent mesh containers and semi-matte plastic boxes, through the walls of which the colors of sweaters and T-shirts will be visible. In addition, we advise you not to clutter up the lower space of the dressing room or closet, but move things to the upper shelves so that you can come close to the shelves.

Don't forget underwear and accessories
I'm sure most of you keep all sorts of small wardrobe items in your closet, such as belts, scarves, gloves, jewelry, socks, and underwear. But is it convenient to place all these things we need in the dressing room? Often, they are randomly placed between the main wardrobe items, which is quite puzzling when you need to quickly create an image for a day or evening.
Drawers with compartments for linen, ties or belts will help organize the storage of accessories; also, we recommend attaching several hooks or a special scarf holder to the wall or closet door, but for large and small bags it is better to take a separate stationary shelf.

A separate room, which in some cases can be made in the form of a niche in the wall in the apartment, is called a dressing room. Layout with dimensions, layout tips and options for ready-made layouts are presented in this material. In this article, you will learn the following:
- what are the purposes of dressing rooms and what tasks in design they solve;
- how to choose the right layout and what types of them are;
- tips for home improvement and options for ready-made layouts.
The purpose of the dressing room in the apartment
A very convenient and rational solution is to have a dressing room in the apartment, but so far some people consider this an overkill. Many simply do not know how much usable space can be saved, because in this room you can store all your shoes and clothes, as well as other things. Everything will be in one place, so you can find what you need easily and quickly.
For husband and wife In each individual case, the layout of storage areas, the presence of several tiers, the layout of the dressing room and its dimensions are determined separately, depending on the size of the space allotted for it and the wishes of the apartment owners. Even in a small room you can find a place for a dressing room, with it you can give up cabinets, bedside tables, various shelves and get additional free space.
The presence of a dressing room solves the following tasks:
- frees up free space in the apartment;
- the ability to store clothes, shoes, hats and other things in one place;
- you can store household appliances: hair dryer, iron, curling iron and others;
- in a large room you can make a fitting room.
Dressing room - layout with dimensions and optimal layout
Storage area - a set of shelves, coat hangers and drawers that are located along the wall and various things are stored on them. Depending on the height of the room, it can be one, two, three-tiered, etc. layout, that is, shelves and hangers are located on one or more floors.
1-tier layout
In this case, there is only one bar, on which hangers with clothes are hung. It is located at a height of 1.7-2 m from the floor. But this option is inconvenient, since it does not allow you to store a large amount of clothes and is used very rarely.
One tier 2-tier layout
Such a dressing room (layout with dimensions below) can be of two types: both tiers are designed to store clothes, but they must be the same height, while the upper tier is at a height of 2.2-2.4 m, and the lower one is very close to the ground and the clothes will reach the floor. This is an inconvenient solution, so it is more rational to make the lower tier at a height of 0.5 m from the floor and store shoes in it, and the second tier at a height of 2 m, and clothes on a coat hanger will be stored on it.
For two tiers In rich and large apartments, duct ventilation is almost always installed to take air from the street, clean it and supply it to the room, it is located under the ceiling and takes up a lot of space. Usually it is installed in a separate room in the center of the apartment, and the rest of the space, which is about 2.1 m high, is occupied by a two-tier dressing room.
3-tier layout
This option is considered the most convenient. It consists of three tiers: the bottom one is for storing shoes, the second is for clothes, and the third is for hats, scarves, etc. If we talk about dimensions, then the height of 50 cm is optimal for the lower tier. The clothes rail is located at a height of 2 m, and an additional shelf is installed at a height of 2.1 m.
three tiers 4-tier layout
This option assumes that shoes will be stored on the first tier, then two tiers for clothes and an upper shelf for hats, scarves, etc. are installed. This arrangement is only suitable for short clothes, the upper bar is located at a height of 2.2-2.4 m, and the shelf is at a height of 2.3-2.5 m, so it will be inconvenient to use them.
4 tiers The depth of the shoe shelf should be 30-45 cm, since it is stored in one row and is located perpendicular to the wall, it is irrational to make a larger size, the depth of the middle tier and the upper shelf should be 60 cm.
Comparative table of advantages and disadvantages of all types of tiering
| Wardrobe tier type | Advantages | Flaws |
|---|---|---|
| single tier | ● simplicity | ● irrational use of free space |
| Bunk | ● more rational use of free space; ● two options can be made: top and bottom clothes, top clothes - bottom shoes; ● allows you to install a duct ventilation system | ● the first option allows you to store only clothes, it will be inconvenient to use the second tier |
| Three-tiered | ● convenient location; ● saving free space; ● allows you to store shoes, things, hats at the same time | ● sufficient room height is required |
| Four-tier | ● the ability to store a large number of clothes; ● entertainment, usually used in stores. | ● the room must have a large height; ● getting shoes from under the bottom row of clothes is inconvenient; ● The second tier and the shelf are located at a high height, so it is inconvenient to use them. |
Tips on how to properly arrange a dressing room with your own hands
In order to make the most of the entire area of the dressing room, the layout with dimensions should take into account what things you are going to have and in what quantity. Only after that you can proceed to planning the size and number of shelves, niches and drawers.
In the apartment For the convenience of keeping things, there are several storage systems:
- the cellular system looks like a rail, which is fixed on the wall, boxes, shelves and other elements are installed on it. This is very convenient, since the elements can be interchanged and supplemented. If necessary, such a system can be expanded or dismantled;
- if you want to make a unique dressing room design, then install mesh systems finished with wood. They are just as functional, but look more beautiful;
- a more budget option is a mesh structure finished with chipboard. Drawers and shelves made of chipboard are practical, convenient and inexpensive.
As a rule, they install rods, shelves, boxes, baskets and other elements that allow you to store both things and shoes. Also very popular is the presence of drawers.
Important: A retractable bar (pantograph) allows you to lower and raise things, you can hide up everything that is used only in a certain season. This is very convenient, but the cost of such a device is high.
In addition to functionality, it is worth paying attention to the appearance of the elements used. Beautiful and practical baskets, shelves finished with fabric, wood - such elements can be both stationary and sliding.
In red When creating shelving, provide for the possibility of moving them so that you can change the height of the shelves. There are special shelves for storing shoes, which are called "shoe racks". For belts, ties and trousers, special hangers must be installed.
If you have a large dressing room, you can save not only shoes and clothes, but also other items, for example, household appliances, for which a separate place is provided.

Wardrobe layouts and their optimal sizes
The first step is to draw up a layout with dimensions. Dressing rooms can be one-sided, in which case the storage area is located on one side of the aisle, l-shaped, two-sided, three-sided and four-sided.
Advice: Do not forget that the purpose of creating a dressing room is to save as much free space as possible in the room and at the same time make it convenient to store things.
View from above There are the following types of plans:
- unilateral;
- L-shaped;
- with two sides;
- tripartite;
- 4-sided.
Unilateral
The length of this room can be any, it all depends on the size of the room. The optimal width is 1.35 m, while 10 cm is necessary for flanging the doorway, if a 60 cm door is used, then it needs 70 cm of width. It remains 55 cm, but when installing the door, they will increase by 5 cm and get 60 cm for a niche, shelves for shoes and hats.
If there is little free space and there is no wall next to the door, then the flanging can be reduced, and when cutting the casing inside, it can be completely removed. In this case, the door is located close to the wall, but the width of the dressing room is reduced to 1.25 cm.
One side 
Plan Often people choose the indicated layout and simply shorten the room by 1.4 meters, while installing a wall, but this is not rational. In this case, you can simply put the cabinet, while you will not need to take 70 cm of width in order to organize an approach to it. This option can be chosen when another cabinet can be placed from the side of the room, but it can be implemented with a room length of at least 5 m, and this is very rare.
This option is usually used in apartments with a free layout, as it allows you to adjust their shape.
Important: The maximum width of a single-sided dressing room layout is 1.45 m, if it is 1.5 m, then it is already possible to make shelves 0.3 m deep on the other side of the aisle.
L-shaped
This option is used if there are problem areas in the room, when shelving cannot be made along parallel walls. In this case, the racks are made so that their back wall is turned towards the living area, which makes it possible not to create a partition. Then the entrance is left open or hidden behind a curtain or mobile screen.
G-shaped 
Plan If there is a blank wall, it is better to make not classic shelving, but loft shelving. Such a dressing room is usually made in a separate room and combines a place to store things and, for example, an office or another room, in which case the shelves are made from floor to ceiling and they are closed.
2-sided
If you have the opportunity to allocate 1.75 m of the width of the room, then in this case you can make a double-sided dressing room. The minimum passage width is 0.55 m, for two storage areas you will need 0.6 m, that is, 1.2 m. If, with a one-sided layout, the door usually opens inward, here, for ease of use, it opens outward. If it is not possible to make a door that opens outward, then they make it open inward, since safety is more important than comfort.
On two sides 
Plan 3-sided
In this case, the minimum width of this room is 2 m. Its layout implies the mandatory overlapping of racks, otherwise you will have unused corners and the space is used irrationally. In order for you to be able to get things in the corners, you will have to move the clothes on the hangers. The length of such a dressing room should be at least 0.8 m.
On three walls 
Plan Important: If mostly right-handed people live in your house, then the overlap is done counterclockwise, first they make the right side, it overlaps with the middle one, and only then the left one.
4-sided
The minimum width here should be 2.6 m if the auxiliary area is located to the left of the door, and 2.8 m if it is located to the right. If the width of the dressing room is large, as in the layout with dimensions below, then you can make a three- or four-row layout when the racks are installed in parallel.
on four sides Important: Choosing the right wardrobe layout will allow you to rationally use the space allocated for its creation.
Comparative table of advantages and disadvantages of different wardrobe layouts
| Layout option | Advantages | Flaws |
|---|---|---|
| One-sided | ● takes up little space; ● ease of creation; ● the ability to rationally use space in open-plan rooms | ● things are only on one side, so you won't be able to place a lot of them |
| L-shaped | ● can be installed in rooms with problem areas | ● little space; ● if there is an open entrance, it does not look very aesthetically pleasing |
| double sided | ● convenient layout; ● the ability to store many things | ● if it is not possible to make a door that opens outwards, then when opening inward, it will block free access to things |
| tripartite | ● the ability to rationally use the allocated space; ● can store many things | ● the presence of overlapping racks, creates inconvenience when getting clothes that are in the corners |
| Quadrilateral | ● the ability to rationally use all the space in the room; ● can store many things | ● the need for a large free space |

Ventilation in the dressing room without a window
For the normal preservation of things in the dressing room, it is necessary to make ventilation. It provides air from the outside and organizes its discharge through the exhaust ducts.
with ventilation Usually there are no windows in this room, so it is necessary to make an exhaust duct. Air enters the dressing room indirectly, that is, from rooms located nearby. So that he could get inside this room, gaps are made in the doors. In the absence of an exhaust duct, the dressing room will not only have an unpleasant smell, but also increased moisture, which will create prerequisites for the development of fungus and mold.
There are several options for organizing ventilation in a dressing room without a window:
- during the creation of the room, it is necessary to make an exhaust duct, then the air enters from neighboring rooms through the gaps between the doors;
- if one of the walls borders on the street, fresh air can be obtained through wall valves, with which the air flow is regulated;
- wall valves are used to receive air, and a flow valve is used to remove it, it is installed at the top of the wall, opposite the supply valve.
Advice: To organize forced ventilation, a separate exhaust duct is made in the dressing room, in which an exhaust fan can be installed.
What can be a large and expensive dressing room?
To store beautiful and elite things, there should be a large and expensive dressing room. The layout with dimensions should imply greater functionality and practicality of this room.
All elements of this room should be combined in style, material of manufacture, color and texture. Typically, high-end furniture is made from natural materials, it can be wood, but often it can be replaced with high-quality MDF boards.
In the house All hinged drawers and doors must have closers, which facilitates their use. In addition, there is always a mirror in the elite dressing room. It has sockets for turning on a hair dryer, curling iron or other household appliances. Having good lighting is a must, because it is not only a place to store things, but also a fitting room and a place where they change clothes. Not only room lighting is organized, but also separate lighting of shelves and drawers, using built-in lamps.
Variants of ready-made layouts for the dressing room
When choosing the layout of the dressing room, after you decide on its dimensions, you need to decide what their placement will be and think through all the details in detail. Even in a small room, the size of which is no more than two square meters, you can equip a spacious and comfortable dressing room.
Important: In order to make it convenient and comfortable for you to use the dressing room, high-quality lighting must be organized in it, not only on the ceiling or walls, but also in niches and drawers.
Regardless of the size of this room, ventilation must be done in it, otherwise there will be an unpleasant smell and humidity may increase.
Dressing room - layout with dimensions 2x2
Even in the layout of a small dressing room with dimensions of 2x2, each family member must be allocated a separate storage space to avoid confusion. What is rarely used is placed in the far corners; buy covers for storing suits and dresses. Even if there is a window and natural light, you still need to provide artificial light, since you will use this room not only during the day. It is better to install not a switch, but a motion sensor, then in the dark you will not have to look for where the light turns on.
area of 2 sq m Even in such a small room, you can fit all the clothes that you have at home. One of the layout options is to install a cabinet with shelves in the center, and rods for hangers with clothes are installed on both sides.
If the size of the room is small, then shelves can be placed under the ceiling, on which various things will lie. For greater practicality of such a dressing room, on the one hand it is recommended to place many small shelves, and on the opposite wall a cabinet with drawers.
Dressing room layout 3 sq m
This is the most common size of dressing rooms that can be arranged in most of our apartments. In this case, shelves of different sizes, drawers, hangers, rods, which can be both stationary and retractable, are used for storing things. It is convenient when there are niches for small clothes.
For three squares 
If the room is 3 m 2 in size, then it is recommended to use a hanger bar built into the shelf. This will save space, as you will place clothes on the shelf, and store things on hangers on the bar. You can also equip the wardrobe with drawers and regular shelves. And a niche for hangers with clothes is done on the side.
Dressing room layout 4 sq m
With a room size of 4 m 2, besides the fact that things will be stored in it, there is already enough free space to organize a changing place in the center. In addition, in such a dressing room you can separately put a cabinet for storing shoes.
For four squares 
Although the 4 m 2 room is not very large, it can store many different clothes, shoes and other things. When choosing the layout of such a dressing room, you must immediately decide what kind of things you will save in it and, depending on this, make more shelves for small clothes or more hangers for suit dresses.
A dressing room in an apartment is a great convenience, but, unfortunately, desires do not always coincide with our capabilities. In some apartments, a dressing room is provided for by the project, in others, you will have to allocate a usable area for it and think about how to arrange a dressing room so that it is as comfortable and presentable as possible.
The optimal size of the dressing room
So, let's decide where in your apartment there will be a dressing room and how to correctly determine its size. What are the criteria for doing this? As you know, the dressing room is designed not only for storing things, but also so that at any time these things can be put on. And this means that, firstly, a large amount of clothes should hang on the shoulders, and secondly, a significant part of it should be in sight.
In the classic dressing room are stored:
- casual wear,
- seasonal clothing,
- Underwear,
- socks,
- shoes,
- bags,
- handkerchiefs,
- accessories and jewelry.
In general, all things used for daily wear. In addition, large household items and household appliances, such as a vacuum cleaner, ironing board, and so on, often find their place in the dressing room, which is located in the apartment.
The area of the dressing room should ideally be 10–12 m 2 for each person living in the apartment, and a large number of open shelves should be a feature of its arrangement. Agree, not everyone can afford such wardrobes. Not only is this the area of a standard living room, but they also need to be cleaned frequently, which takes a lot of time. Owners with good income usually entrust this work to a housekeeper.
It is clear that in an ordinary apartment the dressing room will be much smaller. But, nevertheless, let's decide on the size. It would be nice to allocate at least 3–5 m 2 for the dressing room and leave a small space free so that you can change clothes comfortably. It is desirable to make a fairly spacious entrance to the dressing room. Its width should be at least 1 m. It is best to choose a compartment for doors in order to save space in both the dressing room and the adjoining room.
It is important to make the main elements of the dressing room such that those who will use it feel comfortable:
- a shelf for shoes should be an average of 40 cm deep and 50 cm from the floor level;
- a clothes rail is installed on average at a height of 170–190 cm;
- an additional shelf is located at a height of +10 cm from the height of the bar.
The height of the bar and the top shelf may vary depending on the height of the person.
For the convenience of using a shelf for shoes, it is necessary to place shoes in one row perpendicular to the wall.
It is desirable that ventilation be present in the dressing room.
Knowledgeable people advise choosing built-in furniture in the dressing room, and not free-standing cabinets. The advantage of such furniture is that dust does not accumulate in the gaps between the cabinets, and the structure itself can be securely fixed to the wall.

Ways to organize space in the dressing room
The placement of cabinets in the dressing room can be one-sided, two-sided and three-sided.
A one-sided layout is preferred in very small walk-in closets where the closet is placed along the longest wall.
The location on two sides is convenient with a corner dressing room or in a medium-sized dressing room.
And, finally, the owners of large dressing rooms can afford wardrobes near three walls. Of course, this option will allow you to accommodate a much larger number of things, but it is not suitable for everyone.
In ordinary apartments, spacious dressing rooms are not provided and there is most often nowhere to organize them, which means that you will have to find places to store things and organize single-tier, two-tier or more storage, depending on the height of the ceilings.
Single-tier dressing room - is an ordinary hanger bar, at a height of about 1.5–1.7 meters from the floor. In fact, this is a slightly more spacious closet. But such an arrangement of a dressing room is unprofitable.
The two-tier layout is much more convenient. It comes in two versions. The first option is when two tiers are occupied by clothes. The first tier is for long clothes, the second - for short ones. The second option is much more interesting and practical. Shoes are stored on the lower tier, and clothes are on the upper tier. The upper rod is at a height of 2 m, which is very convenient to use, the lower one is 1 m.
One of the most convenient layouts is the three-tier layout. Bottom tier for shoes, middle tier for clothes, extra space on top.

Wardrobe storage facilities
The walk-in closet has several storage areas.
|
Things that are rarely used are placed in drawers installed in cellular shelves. |
|
For storage of linen it is convenient to use drawers with internal division. |
|
It is convenient to store things in mesh retractable baskets. To find out what lies there, you do not need to look into each. |
|
They also use special shelves for storing shoes, the so-called shoe racks. With this placement of shoes, the dressing room looks neater, however, twice as much will fit on ordinary shoe shelves. |
|
Trousers are used to place trousers. They also look presentable, however, they do not save space. |
To optimize space, you can use vacuum bags to store various things. Any thing folded into such a bag, with the help of pumping air out of it, decreases in size, and folds at the bottom of the dressing room.
Wardrobe room from the pantry
Sometimes, of all the options, the organization of a dressing room in the pantry is the most preferable. In this case, the old pantry must be cleaned of everything, we throw away the rubbish, leaving only the walls. We make repairs with our own hands, then we order shelves according to the size up to the ceiling, hang a mirror and put the floor in order. The most important thing is ventilation! Lots of furnishing options. Even such a small dressing room can be arranged comfortably.

Arrangement of a dressing room in the bedroom
The dressing room in the bedroom is ideal. But according to all classical laws, it must be separated by a wall or partition, which reduces square meters. If you do not refer to building codes, then the wall can not be installed. Just order modular designs from floor to ceiling. Baskets, drawers and other accessories that come with wardrobes can be kept open. The bedroom is that closed place where unauthorized persons are not allowed to enter, so you can always hide literally everything here.
You can place a dressing room in a niche, if there is one, or along the wall, separating this part with a compartment door, you can also divide the bedroom with a beautiful curtain. The design of the dressing room can be varied, it all depends on the area of \u200b\u200byour bedroom:
- The corner dressing room looks original, the entrances to which are located on both sides.
- If it is small, then put a mini-dressing room, where the most necessary things will be located and nothing more!
- Dressing room doors can be made mirror smooth, with a sandblasted pattern, stained glass. Here, of course, design is important. It should be in harmony with the design of the bedroom.
- In a spacious dressing room, place a full-length mirror, and a dressing table will not hurt, where you can put yourself in order in the morning, getting ready for work, while, for example, your spouse is sleeping.
Choose bright lighting. With the advent of new technologies in our lives, the choice of all kinds of lamps is simply huge.

Making a dressing room on the loggia
The loggia serves as an additional area in the apartment, so arranging a dressing room on it is a great idea! It is necessary to carry out preparatory work before installing a dressing room:
- it is necessary to insulate the loggia;
- level the floor
- make electrical wiring.
When these works are completed, you should start buying or making your own narrow wardrobe. Spare parts and accessories can be bought in specialized stores when making the cabinet yourself. You can install a mirror on the cabinet door. Under the window, place a cabinet with drawers, shelves or baskets, and also place a special britcher.
Loggias in new houses are large, you can put a lot here. If you don’t want to use special wardrobe equipment, you can get by with little: metal hangers, horizontal bars, shoe racks, a rug, a mirror - that’s all you need.
You yourself must choose the option that suits you. Lighting on the loggia can be done using halogen bulbs, LED and decorative fiber optic lamps - there are many options, it all depends on the design. Vases, flowers, paintings, glass tinting, you can even connect the loggia with the living room and install a beautiful arch with flowers and shelves.
This is how you can arrange a dressing room in the apartment. We hope that from the proposed options, you will choose something suitable. See a selection of photographs that can serve as a source of new ideas.
Photo of dressing rooms
Proper placement of things allows you to always have an outfit ironed and ready to wear at hand. The disadvantage of classic cabinets is their small size. Not a lot of things fit in such a small space, so the necessary wardrobe items are very often placed on the back of a chair, on a sofa, or in any other available places.
But such storage is completely wrong. In addition to the fact that the space looks cluttered, the things themselves also crumple, get lost and simply interfere with others. Salvation from such inconvenience is the construction of a good dressing room. This is the most practical and functional option, which allows you to save both the space of the room and the attractive appearance of things.
Peculiarities
If you live in a private house, then it will be much easier for you to allocate space for a dressing room. But it is also quite possible for the inhabitants of small modern apartments to find a place to store clothes.
The time and effort spent is definitely worth it, because by building a dressing room, you get a lot of benefits. First of all, it can store not only clothes, but also shoes and accessories. So all the things to create stylish images will always be at your fingertips.
In the dressing room, you can place things as you like. To do this, you just need to equip it in the right way - supplement it with a variety of shelves, hooks and coasters. Thus, all your belongings will be visible and in good condition.
The dressing room is also good because it can be placed in any available space of your apartment. This is good, since many girls give up on the idea of having a dressing room simply because they live in a small apartment or studio apartment. But in fact, placing a dressing room in such a room is no more difficult than in an ordinary apartment or country house.
In addition, very often in new buildings there is already a built-in dressing room. Therefore, when buying or renting a new apartment, you can get a place to store your belongings as a bonus.

There are two main types of wardrobes that can be placed in your apartment: closed and open. Each of these types has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, everyone chooses for himself what suits him best.
An open dressing room is a kind of niche in the wall where all the necessary things are placed. It is not separated from the main space of the room by any doors or partitions. In this case, stylish things also become part of your interior.
In the case of an open wardrobe, all your things are always at hand. In addition, it allows you to make the room visually larger. This is very good for small apartments.
But this type of wardrobe also has significant drawbacks. The main one is that things need to be constantly stored in perfect order, because they are in front of your eyes. In addition, things in such a dressing room can absorb odors, especially if you live in a studio.
Closed wardrobes are separated from the main space of the room by a door or partition. This solves the problem that all your things are constantly in sight. In addition, the dressing room, even the smallest one, looks like another full-fledged room.
Where to locate
An important role is played by where the dressing room is located.
On the loggia
If you have the opportunity, it is best to place a dressing room on the loggia. Thus, it will not constantly fall into the eyes.
At the entrance
A more common option is dressing rooms, which are located at the entrance to the apartment. Such a dressing room is good because it is convenient to store outerwear in it, because it is always at hand just before going out.

How to issue
In addition to the location of the dressing room, its design also plays an important role. In arranging a place to store clothes, it is important not only how it looks, but also how functional it is.
To fit all your things in the dressing room and so that they are always at your fingertips, organize the interior space in a way that is convenient for you.
First of all, use all the space in your dressing room. In addition to the crossbars, it will be rational to use shelves in the dressing room. If you have high ceilings, then this will be especially practical - racks and shelves can be located both below and above. On the top shelves it is very convenient to place all your seasonal items.
The presence of a dressing room in the house helps to free the living space from bulky furniture, optimizes life and allows you to quickly find the right thing. You can equip such a room by contacting professionals by ordering a ready-made storage system according to individual sizes. A less expensive and at the same time interesting solution is a do-it-yourself dressing room: drawings, diagrams and photos with useful tips for arranging will help make the process easy and fast.
For those who intend to assemble a wardrobe system with their own hands, it is necessary to pay attention not only to the size of the room itself, but also to the possibility of compact and rational internal filling. To achieve maximum accuracy, it is recommended to pre-develop drawings and diagrams of the future storage system. Ready-made design projects for wardrobe rooms with your own hands, photos and diagrams will become a good example when creating your own version.
The exclusivity of the corner layout lies in the fact that under the dressing room you can use places that are usually not involved in any way and are difficult to access. For example, it can be a corner, where doors or windows are located in the walls forming it at a small distance from the center of the corner. Such a space is usually empty, so taking this area under the corner dressing room is the most successful and practical option.
Depending on the area allotted for the dressing room, the corner space can be separated from the main room in several ways. If there is enough space, they arrange a plasterboard partition, and in the case of minimal dimensions, an open storage system project is suitable. Many people use a corner wardrobe in the hallway, which is a worthy alternative to a separate room. Photos of dressing rooms with your own hands will serve as a good example of creating a storage area.
Useful advice! When cutting off the corner for the dressing room, it is best to use drywall plates: this material is quite light, it is well cut and easy to install.

The scheme of the first option is a storage system compactly assembled along one wall. It is recommended to leave racks and shelves open, which will save space. The remaining space is used for moving around the dressing room, as well as under the fitting room.
In the second option, the location of the filling is planned along two walls. The main advantage of such a filling is compactness with maximum capacity. However, it is worth considering that you can simply enter such a dressing room, but you will not be able to use it as a fitting room. This filling method is suitable for families of several people, where the main task is to fit the things of each of the household as much as possible. For filling, storage systems with a set of corner components are used, which provide good ergonomics for a small space.
Corner wardrobes in the hallway can be fenced off with swing doors, accordion doors or light sliding partitions, however, it is worth considering the features of the hallway. If the room is rather modest, the swing option is absolutely not appropriate. Radius sliding systems look spectacular, the content of which is selected in unison with the overall interior.
Arrangement of a dressing room in the bedroom
Photos of do-it-yourself wardrobe systems, equipped in the bedroom, indicate that this is one of the most common and convenient options. The feasibility of creating a dressing room on the territory of the bedroom can be determined by calculating the area of \u200b\u200bthe sleeping area. If the size of the bedroom significantly exceeds this parameter, you can safely proceed to the independent construction of the dressing room.
There are several schemes for organizing the internal space in the dressing room. This can be a linear storage system design, the arrangement of modules in the form of the letter "U" or "L", as well as the parallel placement of racks and shelves. The most optimal version is a U-shaped dressing room. This layout contributes to the maximum filling of the room and at the same time allows you to leave room for movement around it. As a rule, for U-shaped dressing rooms you need enough footage, however, they can also be accommodated in modest areas.
Useful advice!An interesting idea is to arrange a dressing room in the bedroom behind the head of the bed: it is separated by a light stationary partition or sliding systems.
For small bedrooms, where it is not possible to isolate 1.5 - 2 m from the room, they are limited to a wardrobe in the bedroom. Such furniture is compact, it does not take up much space and has a thoughtful filling. Ways to fill wardrobes can be found in the catalogs of sites that sell and manufacture furniture. Ready-made sets of storage systems with a narrow specialization for clothes, shoes and accessories are distinguished by unsurpassed ergonomics.
If the layout is such that the dressing room is a walk-through, the parallel arrangement of storage systems is the best fit. Do-it-yourself drawings of racks and shelves in the dressing room indicate that with this method of filling, movement around the room is not difficult, and the storage system can accommodate everything you need. The most convenient combination is the bedroom-dressing room-shower room. But there may be other options.

- middle compartment - used primarily for storing frequently used items. Rods, pantographs, as well as retractable shelves for storing small toilet items are equipped here. Depending on the length of things, the height of the middle zone varies from 140 to 170 cm. Approximately 100 cm is allocated to the compartments for storing shirts and jackets. Knitwear is conveniently stored in baskets and boxes mounted on shelves;
