- 50 options for the design and layout of the dressing room in the apartment:
The dressing room is equipped in a separate room, niche or closet. And from the main room is separated by a partition.
In a small room for all-season things, you can store a variety of clothes, shoes, ready-made accessories for trying on and choosing a harmonious combination.
There are basic designs:
- Wireframe;
- Panel;
- Modular;
- Mesh.
Wireframe
Most often, such a construction is a "symbiosis" of wood and metal components. This is a great opportunity to make the most of the available floor-to-ceiling space. The back wall is not provided, and thanks to this, the structure becomes light.
Multifunctional furniture is placed according to the principles of ergonomics, which allows the dressing room to fit into even the smallest apartment.
The sturdy light metal frame is complemented by wooden drawers and shelves. The number of such elements is chosen arbitrarily. The model can also be made two-tier, if necessary. A frame wardrobe is often used as a partition when zoning a space. There is only one drawback - the absence of limiters (walls). Even a stack of neatly folded items can fall.
In a small room, any items of clothing that were previously stored in wardrobes and dressers are successfully placed.
Panel
It is an open wardrobe system. There is a decorative panel that is attached to the wall. Ceiling, floor and side walls are missing. This design will hide imperfections or irregularities in the wall. It is possible to place the dressing room anywhere. Decorative strips are made in different styles, which allows you to install the structure in any interior.
Thanks to the compact arrangement, the presence of convenient shelves along the walls and hangers, you can immediately pick up matching items.
As an option: this model is easy to make on your own. The panels are fixed to the wall surface, and the facades are screwed in random order with self-tapping screws.
Thanks to the open shelving, you can see all the elements at the same time.
Modular
Modular complexes are, as they say, classics of the genre. These are full-fledged elements of furniture, each has walls, "floor" and "ceiling". Individual modules are placed along the wall in random order, connected with fastening ties. Most often, such structures are made of chipboard.
Build a dressing room with your own hands on a project is much cheaper than buying several dressers and sliding wardrobes.
Modular kits have a number of undeniable advantages:
- Affordable price;
- Rich color palette;
- The ability to create your own unique design;
- Blocks are added or removed at the request of the owner of the apartment;
- All actions with individual modules are performed independently, without the involvement of specialists.
The wardrobe will fit perfectly into the overall design of the room if you choose the right place for it.
The disadvantages of modular systems include the inability to use them in luxurious interiors, they are suitable exclusively for modern design - minimalism, hi-tech, loft.
The design of the dressing room should be light and aesthetic.
With the help of modules, they also create convenient shelving: lighter and more compact options for storage systems.
Mesh
It is a suspended structure. A bar is attached to the wall in a horizontal position, and vertical guides are attached to it. Holes are made in the guides for fastening shelves and nets. This perforation makes the system mobile. Depending on the needs, individual storage spaces are easily increased, or, conversely, made smaller.
Things are always in sight, which allows you to quickly plan your look.
The mesh construction makes it easy to find the things you need and provides ventilation. This is especially important when there are things that you do not use all the time.
The main advantages of such systems:
- Airiness of design;
- Compactness;
- Excellent overview of the contents of the "shelves";
- Clothes do not have a "stale" smell, as they are well ventilated.
A small pantry can be easily turned into a functional, comfortable room by placing several shelves and hangers in it.
The only drawback, and then very relative, is that the components from different manufacturers do not fit together.
You can change the minimum width of the mesh dressing room using the guide on the vertical bar. And thanks to the shelves and runners, they create additional structural functionality - shelves and pull-out baskets.
For ease of use, wardrobes are filled with all kinds of devices for storing clothes and other necessary items.
Filling the dressing room
Even a dressing room, modest in size, will help to rid the room of clutter. The functionality of the dressing room is determined by its content. Several practical recommendations will help you to competently solve the issue with the arrangement:
- The number of drawers, shelves and racks is thought out in advance. The more carefully each part of the structure is thought out, the more functional the dressing room as a whole will be;
- Internal filling directly depends on the area of the complex itself. Shelves and racks are installed taking into account the gaps between them and the general proportions;
- Pay attention to the position of the hanger bar: on the one hand, it should be easy to reach reach, and on the other hand, it should not be located too low so that dresses or skirts touch floor;
- Do not be afraid to experiment, thanks to modern filling devices, original and practical storage systems for things and shoes are created.
If you decide to set aside an entire room for a wardrobe, you will have to take into account a few more nuances. First of all, provide a comfortable at least minimal walkway in the dressing room, because you will have to move through this space. Full-length mirrors, floor hangers and an ironing board provide maximum convenience.
Convenient filling will keep dresses and suits always ready for fitting.
Let's dwell on the description of storage systems for the dressing room.
Boxes
Most people prefer to use closed boxes, as they protect things from dust and other contaminants. For storing bed linen, volumetric boxes are used, and smaller options for the necessary little things. If desired, additional dividers are installed in the boxes, for even more convenience in placing the necessary items. Ideally, drawers should be pulled out to their full depth and ¾ size.
Drawers are often additionally equipped with door closers.
In order not to get confused in which drawer, what lies, models with transparent front panels are provided through which the contents are visible.
Shelves
These elements are retractable and fixed. The width, as a rule, does not exceed 30-40 cm. If the shelf is fixed, then the depth should be no more than 100 cm, otherwise it is very inconvenient to get something. If the design is retractable, choose the parameters that are suitable for you personally.
Maximum comfort can only be achieved by observing the principles of ergonomics.
Baskets and boxes
Most often, items intended for ironing are stored in baskets. This is very convenient, because the mountains of washed linen do not lie in plain sight and do not take up precious space. Baskets are made from wood, metal and even fabric.
The design, the purpose of which is to save space, should not take up a single extra centimeter.
If desired, and also provided that the size of the dressing room allows, such baskets are installed separately from the general complex and equipped with wheels for ease of movement.
Place for shoes
This part of the dressing room depends on the number of shoes, as well as on the size of the complex. If the dressing room is a whole room, then there will be more space for shoes. The simplest and most practical solution in this case is a shelving unit. Shelves are made of plastic, metal or wood. Many people make them with their own hands. Such a structure can either occupy an entire wall from floor to ceiling, or be located in a separate compartment.
You can immediately purchase suitable materials for decoration and decorative elements or create an original dressing room according to a special project.
Shelves are another way to store shoes conveniently and compactly. They are retractable or stationary. If, in your case, the dressing room is a spacious room, and many people live in the apartment, then it is advisable to equip a whole wardrobe for shoes. There will be a place not only for numerous shoes, sneakers and boots, but also for their care products.
The main criterion for choosing the size and location is the number of people who will use it.
A walk-in closet is a very convenient way to keep your clothes and shoes in one place. Such a complex ensures the safety of things, and also helps to quickly find what is needed, or assess what is missing. Unfortunately, not every apartment has the ability to assign a separate room for these purposes. But even in small apartments, you can equip a convenient structure with systems specially designed for storing certain things.
The construction of a stylish dressing room will significantly relieve the space of all rooms from bulky wardrobes, little-used things.
