Design of a dressing room in your house

The number of items of clothing in the house is directly related to the well-being of people. In olden times clothes were a luxury, so it was carefully worn and carefully stored to pass on to future generations.

In the modern world from old clothes, if it certainly does not represent any value, without regrets get rid. But here’s an ill luck, there’s not much of it in everyday life, so you need to decide where to store them. Since mezzanines and cabinets with the task in hand can no longer cope, it is ideally necessary to allocate a special room for these purposes. The design of the dressing room should be as practical as possible. Here everything should be thought out and stipulated. Let’s try to imagine together how the wardrobe of a modern fashionista should look.

Wardrobe space

Storage of things on the shelves of closed mezzanines in a folded form has a very negative effect on their condition – they crumple, lose shape, turn yellow, so equipping a modern wardrobe house is an urgent necessity. In new buildings for this is equipped with a small, windowless, but necessarily isolated room, equipped with an interior door.

In the cottages, the dressing room is also included in the project, sometimes there may be several such rooms. But what do the owners of apartments, where such a luxury place is not provided? First of all, you need to think over the design of the future dressing room, and then decide what room you are willing to sacrifice for its arrangement. If you live in a private house, then “settle” their belongings in the smallest and least popular room, taking them one of the guest bedrooms or a guest bathroom. Such a decision will be quite rational, because the appearance of the dressing room will be marked by getting rid of the massive cabinets that “devoured” the space, which means that the premises will become more spacious.

There is a place for such a room and in most of the city’s apartments, even such modest squares as “Khrushchev”. True, there may be a need to make an easy redevelopment in them or to attract a part of the room space for this, but believe me, the sheepskin is guaranteed to be worth the candle. Look around in your apartment – maybe there are empty corners or niches in it. To create a repository of things, it will be enough 3-4 m², However, in the absence of them for the design of the dressing room may well be enough and two.

In large rooms, wardrobe compartments can be created by cutting off a corner of one of the corners. In a spacious bedroom, it is better to make such a compartment even, so in this case the partition should be installed in the width of the room, stepping back a meter from the capital wall, and pushing the head of the bed to it.

Probably everyone knows about this fact, but it’s impossible to say about it again: the wardrobe equipment in the bedroom or next to it is the most popular combination in the interior.

Practical Americans equip mini-dressing rooms in all the bedrooms in the house and this is in addition to the fact that they always have one large, with a magnificent design, a dressing room located at the main bedroom.

For the equipment of such a premise in a nursery, it is better to order a two-tier sleeping block. Then under a high-placed bed there will be enough space for a dressing room, in which the child will not only be able to choose without problems how to change clothes, but even make it inside of her. This option is simply ideal for rooms with high ceilings, because it will allow to fill the furniture with its extensive space.

How to plan a dressing room

In standard situations the arrangement of the dressing room begins with its division into zones. Required are:

1. The upper zone;
2. The middle zone;
3. Lower zone;
4. Storage area for hats.

Things are sorted by zones depending on the frequency of their use. The first zone is a substitute for mezzanines, because it is not less than 190 centimeters. Put here those things that are only seasonal, that is, several times a year. All that is stored in this plane, you can not get it without a ladder, so be careful when selecting things.

In the design of the middle zone of the dressing room intended for the storage of everyday clothes and linen, there is a robe for outer clothing, hangers for trousers, ties and belts, a place for an ironing board and something else of the necessary elements. Shelves for storage of linen are also equipped here.

the main condition for creating an interior wardrobe – light colors and a simple form of cabinets

The lower zone is divided into two parts. Under the cassette trays for shoes, usually measuring 35×35 cm, drawers are equipped, which also contain rarely used things.

The headgear compartment is located slightly above the mid-level bar. Each cell should occupy space not less than 25x18cm.

Design of the dressing room: finishing details

Before you begin the design of the dressing room, you need to decide on its style and color scheme.

It is necessary to take into account the peculiarity of its location: whether the room will remain isolated or is built into a friend’s room.

In the first case, you can stay on any stylistic decision, but in the latter, the dressing room will necessarily be arranged in a single scale with the main room.

Now it’s time to decide how to trim the entrance to this particular room. With an isolated wardrobe everything is simple – there is the same interior door as the rest of the rooms, but the entrance to the built-in can be anything. Here you are allowed to use:

1. Sliding door;
2. Door “accordion”;
3. Rotating door;
4. Door-shutters;
5. The transparent door.

One of the sides of the door can be made a mirror. It is more practical to do this from the inside, because in this case it is not necessary to cut out the space under the mirror on the wall in the design of an already small dressing room.

Small chest of drawers in the interior of the dressing room

To equip the dressing room in the bedroom or some other room is easy. It does not require grandiose repairs. Separate the place for it with a light partition. The easiest way to do this is to use plasterboard, the outer surface of which should be decorated with the same materials as the other walls of the room. But if you crave originality, then erect a stained glass partition or use its mobile version. The sliding partitions are popular now, which today are ordered from manufacturers of sliding-door wardrobes. Too expensive? By and large, the design of the wardrobe room of this type can generally be dispensed with without doors. Entrance to the premises may be hidden behind a picturesque textile drapery.

For interior decoration of an isolated storage space, a wide variety of materials are used, the only requirement for them is a washable surface. It is not welcome in the decor such a cloakroom cloth finish, because it attracts dust and absorbs moisture well. It is better to stop at

1. Plastic, wooden or MDF panels;
2. Wall-papers;
3. PVC film;
4. Ceramic tiles;
5. Washable paint.

PVC paneling in the dressing room

Given that the dressing room is not a room where all those who come to the house have access, you have an excellent chance to experiment with its decor without fear of failure. Try to hide the walls behind the laminate, tighten them in eko-skin, peel off the pebbles on the grid – in general, manifest a fantasy.

For the design of the floors in the dressing room you can use any material except the carpet, because it also like all other fabrics “likes” to collect dust.

Another important aspect in the arrangement of the dressing room is its lighting. Since the room is devoid of windows, a light bulb hanging under the ceiling can not cope with the task. Light in the dressing room is needed in order to be able to iron well, to examine stains on clothes, and just to inspect your image in a mirror. Good lighting reduces the likelihood of a mistake in combining clothing.

Central lighting supplemented by spotlights in the dressing room

Additional illumination can be organized by fixtures-clothespins, which can be placed on any elements of the wardrobe system, and built-in ceiling models.

“Filling” dressing rooms

A special role in small dressing rooms is assigned to furniture. Its task is to help locate and qualitatively store a variety of clothing items in more than a compact area, so in an environment only the most functional elements should be used. Ideally, you need to buy a special system for the design of the dressing room, consisting of all sorts of shelving (open, closed, with containers), mini-chests, rails, wall panels with shelves, hooks,. Such systems are made of different materials, so you can easily choose a suitable for your interior variation. For classics, for example, it is better to choose systems containing wooden elements.

Very interesting are such designs for hi-tech style. The system consists entirely of metal. It does not have facades and integral partitions, so the interior is light, and the room acquires additional bulk. Brilliant bars literally flush space, moving to the ceiling and pushing the walls apart. On these rods the rest of the “stuffing” is fixed: baskets, containers, trays. These elements often have a network structure, which allows the things stored in them to “breathe”.

In the design of a full dressing room, you can use standard furniture designed for storing things: racks, wardrobes, chests of drawers. In order not to weight the space, it is enough to balance the use of closed and open lockers and shelves.

Of course, buying a special furniture is not necessary. You can equip a room with something that is already at hand. A pair of cabinets left from the old wall will do. Remove the facades from them, make the rear panels mirrored and this will immediately relieve the situation. No “free” cabinets – you can decorate the interior of the dressing room and without them. Simply fix on the opposite walls by a metal tube and the arms for the shoulders will be ready. Under them there will be room for plastic chests of drawers with mesh drawers.

Be sure to hang a mirror in the room with a backlight and put the pouf. You will always have the opportunity to put yourself in order and comfortably change their shoes.

Wardrobe “little things”

In the room for storing clothes, it is necessary to ensure good air circulation. Since there are no windows in it, the ozone generator should appear in the design of the dressing room. It is better if it is a model that provides air aromatization. This option does not suit you? Then just lay on the shelves and containers filled with fragrant herbs tissue bags.

There should be in the dressing room and a small cute box containing everything you need for sewing. It should be placed in a conspicuous place, and not only because it serves as decorating the decor. Quick access to threads and needles will allow you not to be nervous if a button is suddenly torn off on the suit chosen by you.
