When organizing a room, it is necessary to take into account the number of people who will use the room; each family member should have his own zone. And the fittings for the dressing room need to be completed based on the number of zones in the room, each family member needs a clothes hanger, a shoe rack and a place for accessories.
The options for completing the dressing room primarily depend on the dimensions of the room.
You can assemble the storage system yourself: the bar for the dressing room is made of scrap materials, the shelves are made of plywood or chipboard. But this is a rather laborious process, and manufacturers of components for the wardrobe system offer options that will save you from independent creativity and equip the room as much as possible efficiently.
Types of wardrobe accessories:
- Cabinet units, consisting of modular wardrobes, are often complemented by glass panels. Convenient to use, but designed for rooms over 5 sq. m.

For convenience, these systems are combined with each other, bringing several different elements together.
The choice of furniture in the dressing room
When installing the necessary furniture, you need to take into account the area of the room. A full-wall wardrobe is well suited for a large room, which will provide the necessary hangers and shelves. In a small room, it is better to do with mesh storage systems and an open hanger for the dressing room, when all things are in direct access.
In a dressing room of a modest size, it is advisable to order built-in furniture for specific sizes
Types of storage systems needed in a room:
- Clothing storage system. If the space of the room allows, then the closet is the best choice. Taking into account individual needs, the furniture will have to be made to order, where, according to the customer's sketch, the required number of shelves, drawers and compartments for a bar with clothes will be present. Cabinets are made open. But if doors are planned, then choose sliding options with glass or mirrored doors. Pay attention to modular furniture, it is compact and has several installation options.
The more people will use the wardrobe, the more compartments with rods for hangers will be needed.
- Shoe rack in the dressing room. Depending on the number of shoes, pull-out shelves in the right amount are the best choice. So all the shoes will be directly accessible. Drawers under the bar are suitable for storing seasonal shoes, and you will need to change shoes for the season on the shelves.
Instead of a special shoe rack for storing shoes, you can use cheaper open shelves.
- Storage system for trousers. A pull-out compartment with trouser bars fits in a small corner where things hang conveniently without having to look for them on the shelves and iron them before putting them on.

- Storage of underwear. Baskets that fit on shelves or slide out of the closet will do. Laundry baskets are available in stainless steel, aluminum or plastic. When storing things in baskets with natural ventilation, they will not lie stale and will be fresh before dressing.
The most convenient are baskets with guides that allow you to fully see the contents when fully extended
The storage system is arranged based on the needs of the family and the individual preferences of the owner. It is advisable to organize a space that is convenient for all family members.
Individual needs should be taken into account when sizing sections. For example, high compartments for dresses will be appropriate in a women's dressing room.
In the men's wardrobe, sections for storing suits are provided.
When designing a children's dressing room, it is important to take into account the height of the child.
Options for arranging a dressing room
When arranging small rooms, the main thing is to correctly position the rods, at least two according to the seasons. It is better to store winter and demi-season clothes in closed wardrobes with mirrored sliding doors, which will help you to see yourself when dressing. Shelves and lattice baskets for small items are located on both sides of the bar.
The photo shows a modern dressing room, in which most of the furniture is equipped with closed facades.
It is convenient to store shoes on the lower tier in drawers or shelves. Also, this place is equipped for storing household appliances.
It is advisable to equip a place for a retractable or folding ironing board with a place for an iron, it will be convenient to put things in order and lay them out on shelves.
For an ironing board, you need to consider the location of the outlet, taking into account safety rules
If all cabinets in the room are open, leave a free wall for a large mirror and space for a small bench or ottoman for changing shoes.
There may be several mirrors in the dressing room, but at least one of them must be full-length
If it is impossible to install a mirror in the dressing room, it can be installed at the exit from the room.
The location of the dressing room at the entrance is a convenient storage of clothes, which will always be available before leaving the room
A large room provides more opportunities: built-in furniture is installed on two walls, and one from the walls are equipped with mirrored surfaces under the area for changing clothes, ironing, a chair is placed for changing shoes.
Necessary fittings for a dressing room
When organizing a room, you need to pay attention to the quality and material of manufacture of fittings for the dressing room. Supports, holders, clamps, attachment points and rods must be made of metal. When buying modular structures, pay attention to the presence of hangers, a bar and roller door opening systems, metal components will last longer.
When choosing accessories for a dressing room, do not save. It is important to remember that quality components cannot be too cheap.
Types of wardrobe accessories:
- Drawers and shelves in the dressing room. Equipped with swivel mechanisms, roller guides and door closers for convenience.
Drawers are traditionally located on the lower tier, and the shelves are just above and under the ceiling.
- Hangers bars. They are equipped with lifts for lifting clothes to the ceiling, with the help of a bar or cable, the structure can be easily lowered and raised. Elevators are often supplemented with door closers.
In shallow cabinets, I use pull-out rods, which make it possible to use the available space as efficiently as possible.
- Wardrobe accessories. In the form of hangers, trouser holders and tie hangers, it is better to choose metal.
It is convenient to store small items in drawers, divided by partitions into small compartments
Pay attention to the material of manufacture of the fittings. Aluminum and stainless steel are used in the moving parts of the structure; rollers for sliding doors are made of plastic. Composite materials of an alloy of zinc, aluminum and copper are used to make visible accessories for wardrobe in the form of handles, clips and locks. This alloy does not corrode and looks elegant in combination with any furniture.
Creating lighting in the dressing room
The lighting in the clothing room plays an important role, it is difficult to find the right thing or evaluate your outfit in the dark. Lighting devices should be chosen with imitation of daylight, which should not be too bright and glaring, and clothes should look natural, like under street lighting.
The lighter the furniture and decoration in the dressing room, the easier it will be to organize high-quality lighting in it.
You can hang a beautiful chandelier in a large room, and spotlights with a soft spectrum are suitable for a small room. It is desirable that the lighting be local, for each zone separately. Spotlights fulfill this function perfectly, they can be installed over mirrors, shelves and drawers.
In a room with a low ceiling, it is better to use built-in or surface-mounted luminaires.
Pay attention to the luminaires on the brackets that slide out in the right direction and, if necessary, illuminate the desired area.
It is necessary to equip the dressing area by the mirror with separate lighting devices; several spotlights on the ceiling and wall sconces will do.

Pull-out shoe racks and drawers for small items can be illuminated with LED strip, which, in combination with overhead lighting, will provide enough light to select the desired item.
LED backlighting will be the most optimal solution both in terms of safety and energy saving
Give up halogen appliances and ordinary bulbs, they quickly heat up and there is a possibility of fire, especially if the appliances are located at a short distance from clothing.
With the proper distribution of the necessary accessories, shelves and cabinets, the room will delight in order in things.
