Placing a dressing room in your apartment is a good solution if you want to save your apartment from bulky closets. The creation of such a room will help you make your home more comfortable, and store your chic wardrobe neatly and carefully, which will allow things to serve you for a long time.

Rational use of apartment space, which is most efficiently achievable when building a dressing room, will allow you to place more things in the interior that can emphasize the originality of your apartment.


What distinguishes a dressing room from an ordinary wardrobe? The fact that without exception, all the space in it is used to store your things. You can place it in any of the rooms: bedroom, hallway, nursery.

The dressing room will look great in the corner of the room. There you can close it with a flat door, or mount a radius dressing room, closed with a semicircular sash.






Your choice is the corner wardrobe
The corner option for placing a dressing room is very attractive. The minimum area for creating such a specialized room for storing clothes is 3 meters squared.

Despite the small minimum space, the dressing room located on it will be very spacious.


It will become much more efficient for storing clothes than a simple wardrobe. Convenience to the use of the dressing room will be provided by modern devices designed for storing things, for example: a pantograph.
When calculating the dimensions, keep in mind that the smallest depth of the corner wardrobe in the open state is 55 cm. With the doors closed, it will take 60 cm.


If you decide to order a corner dressing room or make it yourself from drywall, then we will give some tips regarding the design of the dressing room and its interior. In addition, we will consider what can be built from the inside into the space of the dressing room, as well as how it will be most correct to store things.

What's the best way to plan?
When planning a dressing room, we advise you to visually divide it into two zones. In the first, let there be boxes and shelves for clothes, in the other part - special fasteners for hangers.
When creating an entrance to the dressing room, it is best to use sliding doors. You can use the same doors as the wardrobe for the entire width of the dressing room.


Also, accordion-shaped doors would be a good option. For door decoration, wall murals are effectively suitable, which can be selected with various images of city landscapes or with views of nature.

When decorating doors, you can combine wall murals with mirrors or place a mirror on the entire door. Do not forget that when choosing this option, you must constantly take care of the glass and keep the mirrors clean.






To do without doors, it is worth finding wardrobe space in the bedroom. Cover the structure with a screen. Keep in mind that a dressing room located in a bedroom can look good and open.
If you are planning to create a small dressing room, we recommend that you abandon the doors. Refusal to install them will save additional space in an already small room.

If there is not enough space
One of the main advantages of small corner walk-in closets is that they can be placed where there is no room for a simple closet or wardrobe.
When planning to install a corner dressing room, think carefully: how to use the space as efficiently as possible? To cope with this task, racks, shelves, drawers and hanger supports must be correctly placed in it.


Order is your best friend
We advise you to think over the nuances listed above in order to achieve order in clothes and you could easily and unnecessarily find the things you need. The correct approach to breading, believe me, will not let your dressing room turn into a cluttered closet.

When designing a dressing room, think first of all: in which places you will place certain things. Divide the room into several parts: for long clothes, such as coats, dresses and jackets, make a special section, the height of which will be at least one and a half meters.






For short clothes, and these are jackets and sweaters, make a section about a meter high. Consider shelves that allow you to keep your clothes neatly folded.
Let such shelves be from 30 to 50 cm high, about 50 cm deep and about the same width. It will not be superfluous to create a special compartment for small things, for example, for ties, socks and similar accessories.

Set aside an area for outdoor shoes as well. Leave some space where you can change without any problems by swapping out your evening outfit for sports equipment. For example, place a special mount where you can hang hangers above your height or at its level.
For sweatshirts and windbreakers, place similar structures one above the other to fit as much clothing as possible. Design the trouser compartment with a height of about 125 centimeters.


Storing things correctly - it couldn't be easier
In a children's room, try height-adjustable hanger structures. This will allow you to adapt these devices to your child's height.
We advise you to take into account the general principle of storing things, namely, it is better to store outerwear and underwear separately. Consider shelves that are not in contact with each other for these purposes.

Place shoes and jackets at the very beginning of the dressing room, where you can also place hats, hats and gloves. Put your underwear further into the back of the room.
We advise you to store it about 90 cm from the floor, and it is better not to place various accessories higher than 1 meter above the floor level. The high placement of the boxes will make you inconvenient to use.


Try to store men's and women's clothing in different parts of the dressing room. Create special shelves for shoes. Let their width be up to one meter.
If you've created a large corner walk-in closet, you can put a chair in there and set aside a special place where you can change clothes.
Use transparent boxes and it will be easier for you to find the clothes you want. Place a vacuum cleaner, steamer, and other household utensils on the floor where there is space.






Which style should you choose?
Thinking in what style it is better to build a dressing room, pay attention to the Loft. This style implies the use of metal racks when installing, between which shelves and accessories for hangers will be placed. Thanks to this design, you can absolutely freely set any shelf height.
One of the advantages of a loft-style dressing room is its affordable cost. It is also easy to install - it can be easily attached to walls of any quality, and it is just as simple to disassemble the structure if necessary.

Someone considers metal and rough factory design solutions not very attractive. A small number of elements in such a dressing room may confuse: it will not allow you to search for various options with an abundance of shelves and unusual niches and frames. Another option, if you don't like the loft, is boiserie panels.
Shelves, dressers and hanger holders are attached to these panels. When using such wardrobes, make sure that the walls in the room where you want to install the structure are strong enough.

In this case, this is important, since the stress on the walls will be considerable. When using such a dressing room, you get shelves between which there are no boundaries and divisions into compartments. If you wish, you can make a row of shelves the length of the entire wall. Such a structure is kept suspended by mounting to a wall or using special racks.
If the room in which the dressing room should appear is small, then it is better to refuse such a dressing room design option. This is due to the fact that a lot of space will be needed, and this option requires an impressive gap from the wall to the frame.

A few secrets
Try to install cabinet furniture into the finished structure. In order for everything to be installed firmly enough, it is advisable to fasten all parts of the structure to each other. The disadvantage of such a dressing room is that to install the frame in the room where the dressing room should be located, you need a lot of space.

One of the possible manufacturing versions is to create a structure from profiles and drywall sheets. In this case, mount the base, give it the required shape, sheathe it with drywall. When building such a structure, remember that the back wall is not at all necessary in it.

When choosing a material for construction, pay attention to the condition in which it is, read the rules for using the material. If your apartment does not have enough space for a dressing room, or after reading the article, after weighing all the pros and cons, decide not to build it, then you can just get by with the good old corner wardrobe with sliding doors.

Light and fresh air are our best friends
It doesn't matter which design you choose - do not forget to think over the light and the possibility of ventilation. If the room lacks fresh air, then your clothes can get a not very pleasant scent. In the worst case, a fungus can start in the dressing room.
When choosing lighting, pay attention to spotlights for the ceiling or electric clothespins with clips that can be attached to any structure located in the dressing room. It will be a big plus if your dressing room has natural light - a window.


When decorating a dressing room, refrain from using fabric materials. Apply a variety of wallpapers, tiles, or easy-to-clean plastic panels. In the color scheme, stick to gentle and light tones - it is better to choose a suitable outfit against their background. You can lay a variety of materials on the floor, for example, tiles, linoleum, use carpets that are pleasant to the touch.
