Every day, a person's wardrobe is only increasing, which means that the need for a new place to store things is growing. The main problem is that not always space allows you to set aside a corner for many cabinets. Therefore, it becomes necessary to create a separate room for clothing. Thanks to such a corner, you can organize things, put things in order as soon as possible and forget once and for all about bulky furniture.
Walk-in closets are usually visually similar to large wardrobes, the only difference being additional space that can accommodate chairs, mirrors, paintings and memorabilia to cheer up. Even the most unremarkable parts of the apartment, for example, the closets, can be turned into chic dressing rooms with the proper creativity.
Features of the
Regardless of the size of the dressing room, there are a number of items that must be in it. These include racks or closets, shelves for hats and shoes, and a chest of drawers for storing linen. Additionally, you may need drawers and shelves, a pouf, a mirror, and, if necessary, an ironing board and an iron. It doesn't matter if you hired a designer or did the project yourself. In the latter case, you only need imagination, a little skill and materials necessary for construction work.
In the absence of a professional hand in the construction of space for things, it is important to think over how you can make the most of the available space. It is advisable to use the entire area, down to the last centimeter.
To turn a cramped closet into a spacious dressing room, you need to remove objects already in it from the room, including various nails and hooks that are in the wall. After the dismantling work, additional square centimeters, or even meters, will certainly appear.
Before you refine the corner for storing things, it is better to carry out cosmetic repairs. In some cases, it is enough just to glue the wallpaper or paint the walls. Also note that only a few walls may be needed for the dressing room, as most of the space will be occupied by shelving. If the size of the room is small, then in some cases it will be better to place the objects first, and then paint the remaining parts. A non-standard option may be the option with photo wallpaper.
Please note that carpet is not suitable for dressing room flooring because it will collect a lot of dust. It is recommended to use linoleum for these purposes, it will create comfort and warmth.
In such a room, soft lighting is chosen, it is important that it is light here at any time of the day. Dressing rooms usually do not have windows; daylight can only enter through an open door. One light bulb will not be enough, it is better to take care of a large number of light elements in advance.
Another important condition for arranging storage space is the availability of high-quality ventilation. The fact is that over time, a certain mustiness may appear in the air, so the room must be ventilated.
Everyone chooses the style for the dressing room independently. Here personal preferences play a big role, what is pleasant to this or that person. The room may even have only one ironing board and several shelves. If the room is large, then you can organize the space in such a way that there is a corner for relaxation. This is especially true for female representatives who are often tired of household chores and just need a place for privacy.
The dressing room can also be decorated to your liking, for example, put a dressing table or an ordinary soft chair in the middle of the room. A popular option is using a pear-shaped armchair - this will give the interior a little carelessness.
Varieties
The minimum area that is needed to create a dressing room is two square meters. In this case, it is enough to competently think over the placement of objects and design.
If the storage space is large, then a modular system, mobile partitions are included in the layout, a prerequisite is compliance with their general style.
An experienced designer first of all pays attention to what area is at his disposal. The correct drawing up of the drawing and the possibility of realizing the imagination in planning and arrangement depends on this factor.
In order to create a small dressing room, the best option would be to use four square meters. It is in a room with such an area that it will be comfortable and convenient to place all your clothes. If the available space is smaller, then this is also not a problem, you just end up with fewer shelves and racks.
Sometimes, for the appearance of a corner for a wardrobe, they sacrifice a part of the living room or a closet in the corridor. Triangle zoning makes it possible to use space as efficiently as possible. An interesting option can also be a narrow room, for example, you can divide the room using a plasterboard partition.
Corner
The key to success when planning a corner dressing room is to measure the required footage. The big advantage of such a space is its compactness. For planning such a place for things, sometimes even about one and a half square meters is enough.
The project is unique in that it is enough to cut off the required space from the total footage of the room with a special partition. The footage is minimal - but the benefit is maximum.
When creating a partition, experts pay attention to such a building material as drywall, since during the installation process there is practically no debris left, which then needs to be taken out of the room, and there is almost no dust.
There are only two schemes for arranging furniture inside. In the first version, all cabinets and shelves are lined up along the wall. In the second version, the objects are lined up opposite each other, that is, on both sides of the room. It is advisable to use the second system, since this saves square meters.
As another way to organize the space, you can use a spiral bridge between the shelves. When creating a design project for a dressing room, the corners are smoothed in this way, and the space visually increases.
Professional designers recommend making open racks. This is a great way to save space.
In order for the entrance to the dressing room to be wide, it is better to use a door in the form of an accordion. The sliding mechanism makes it possible to completely open the space reserved for storing clothes, and also serves as an interesting element that connects this room with the living room. This design solution gives comfort and coziness, makes the process of choosing things for the day more enjoyable.
Built-in
One example of a built-in wardrobe is the linear type. This storage space is built along the wall. This is a fairly convenient and compact option. Thanks to the way the headset is arranged, a significant part of the space is saved.
The project of a linear dressing room is not so much a separate room as a separate niche in the apartment. The whole world of clothing sometimes hides behind the most ordinary accordion. An additional advantage is that such a door opens easily, which means that you can always get quick access to things.
The most popular element of a linear wardrobe is pull-out hangers. With the help of light movements, a jacket or dress becomes available in the blink of an eye.
The minimum depth of such a structure is about one and a half meters. What the width of the future storage space will be depends solely on the footage of the room. If there is a sufficient amount of space, then you should not use it to the maximum for various niches and shelves; it is also better to avoid all sorts of partitions. Please note that the linear dressing room is unlikely to find additional storage space for household appliances and an ironing board.
When choosing shelving, focus on the open type, thanks to which you can increase the space. The depth of the room can be increased with simple cabinets with doors, but only if the apartment has a long wall.
The L-shaped layout is another type of built-in wardrobe rooms. Such a project has its own differences and specificity. The most important thing is that there is no need to organize partitions, the object becomes part of the room, smoothly fits into it. Shelves help to visually increase the space in the apartment.
A wardrobe in the shape of the letter P is a non-standard option for managing space. One of the most common beliefs is that this kind of storage space is only suitable for large houses. But this is a deep misconception. It is worth considering that the project may have a slight touch of futurism, but despite this, the layout will be very ergonomic.
The headset in such a room acts as a monolith. The shelves are not just placed on the sides, but there are special sections in the room, closed drawers and hangers.
The designer is always faced with a difficult task, it is necessary to use the allotted square meters as efficiently as possible. Another element that needs to be worked out is the lighting level. Since the footage is limited, the sun's rays with a high degree of probability will not fall.
The U-shaped dressing room acts as a separate room with complete separation from the room for receiving guests. Such a layout will be appropriate only if there is a long room in the house or apartment, part of which can be taken away for organizing a wardrobe.
In order for the space to be used as efficiently as possible, you just need to make some changes. These include increasing the width of the top shelves, which will free up space for storing travel bags or even toy boxes.
Combined
A parallel dressing room is the simplest and most functional option for using space. For its construction, you will need a headset and a partition. The organization of the premises in this particular version is ideal for the passage of the apartment and the living room. If there is a desire to place storage space in a remote room, then it is better to abandon the idea and think about other possibilities.
One of the most important points that must be taken into account is how far from one wall to another. The minimum length is about one and a half meters, since it will be difficult to move from one part of the room to another. It is important to remember that the minimum distance between the shelves is eighty centimeters.
End hangers help make optimal use of space. This is a very convenient and compact option. It is also customary to install traditional cabinets that have pull-out panels. An ordinary dressing table and pull-out panels can be appropriate objects.
Projects by area
To get a cozy and comfortable room in an apartment, you should take into account a number of nuances. And here there is no dependence on whether the dressing room will be located in the hallway, in the bedroom, in the corridor, on the balcony or even in the attic.
Be sure to start construction work with the choice of furniture. One of the best options is to simply order a set already prepared in advance, for example, with elements of "Provence". The complex can be installed independently or with the help of specialists.
Cabinet furniture can also be assembled from separate modules, where the advantage will be the ability to independently choose the design and functionality of the future storage space.
One of the most important criteria for whether a future dressing room will be functional is how the lighting functions in it. It is recommended to avoid vial lamps as they will give dim light. The ideal solution is to use spot lighting. Do not forget that the issue of ventilation is a priority, especially if the structure is not part of a common open space. If a storage rack in a private house is made from a pantry, then the most common hood or air conditioner is easily installed.
1 sq. m
Storage space for 1 sq. meter can be organized exclusively using shelving. Such a mini-dressing room is located both in the living room and in the usual corridor. A distinctive feature of such an object is ease of installation and compactness.
On such a small part of the space from the apartment or room, only a few shelves will be located, where, for example, sweaters, T-shirts, pants, pajamas will be stored. Shelves for linen are additionally equipped.
2 sq. m

3 sq. m
For 3 sq. meters will fit a spacious and complete wardrobe. You can choose both closed and open type. It all depends on the layout of the living space, variations in the arrangement of furniture, interior doors.
Such an area can be separated with a small partition or a separate accordion door. Additionally, a dressing table will fit in the mini-room for things.
4 sq. m
On such an area, you can give free rein to imagination. This is a real private room. It is best to visually separate it from other areas in the apartment, since many things will most likely be placed there.
Consider in detail how the objects will be located, which racks and shelves will be used and in what order. For 4 sq. meters easily fit a huge chair and a mirror.
5 sq. m
5 sq. m is already a real paradise for a woman who is obsessed with shopping. There is a place here not only for storing everyday things, but even for a wedding dress and workwear. There is no need to worry about where to put household appliances such as a vacuum cleaner or iron, or where to place a dozen shoe boxes.
You can also think about how to divide the dressing room into women's, men's and children's sections. This would make it much easier to find the right clothes and sort them.
6 sq. m
In such an area, you can really give free rein to imagination. Large storage space is only possible in private houses or duplex apartments.
About how to properly organize square meters, it is better to ask a specialist or make modular furniture to order. The design of the room can differ significantly from the house as a whole and, most likely, the room will be closed by a door.
Modern ideas and interesting solutions in the interior
It is quite simple to organize a dressing room in an apartment with your own hands. To do this, you need to have basic design skills and understand how to properly assemble modules or individual racks.
Despite the fact that the place for storing things according to accepted standards should correspond to the general style of an apartment or house, sometimes such standards can be violated. Modern ideas include non-standard solutions using lighting and furniture placement. Especially bold steps can be taken if the room is fenced off with a partition or door.
The most interesting decisions concern, first of all, how to correctly dispose of square meters. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the distances and their functional purpose in the room between objects.
In order to visually enlarge the wardrobe, you can experiment with the color scheme of the walls and, in general, with the arrangement of furniture. Pay also attention to how zoning is done correctly and built-in wardrobes are attached.
