Wardrobe room: types, location, arrangement of shelves

When it comes to storage in the apartment, the best solution is a dressing room. It, as a rule, does not take up much space, which is important for small-sized apartments, but at the same time allows you to conveniently contain clothes and shoes in the same area, which saves space at the same time. You can order it from professionals, but then you have to come to terms with the fact that you do not quite get what you expect: the end result rarely meets all the wishes of customers. But to do it with your own hands will be much easier - just a little effort.

Proper dressing room

With a properly planned dressing room, you can free an apartment from bulky wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside tables

First of all, it is necessary to determine the place. A small space of up to one and a half square meters is enough for a dressing room. But where this place will be located is up to the owners. As an option, it can be a bedroom, a corner between the walls, a balcony or a loggia, an attic - or a storage room, the presence of which is already provided for by the apartment’s layout.

All things in one dressing room.

When all things are collected in the same area, less time is spent on finding the right clothes.

Types of dressing room

Depending on the location, there are several types of dressing rooms.

  • Corner

Corner dressing room located at the junction of two walls. Effective in terms of ergonomics, the overall design of the apartment, visually smooths the sharpness of straight lines. To separate part of the corner room from the rest of the room it is better to use drywall, it is easily amenable to non-professionals and will help save money. For filling the corner dressing room is used L-shaped shelf layout system. The optimal location is the bedroom.

Corner cupboard

The corner cabinet is always more practical than the direct one and allows you to use a large free angle.

  • U-shaped

This option is suitable for owners of the “pencil box” bedroom - an oblong narrow room. U-shaped system visually equalizes the space, making it more harmonious. Separate the desired part from the bedroom will help wall, wardrobe, or screen. The location of the shelves on three walls at once will significantly save space.

  • Parallel

It is located in walk-through rooms, as a rule, these are narrow long corridors. The parallel dressing room consists of two closets, located opposite each other. Cabinets must be covered with a mirrored wall, sliding doors or a screen. Such an arrangement is especially convenient for storing street clothes and shoes.

Material and tools

To separate the dressing room is better to use sheets of drywall. It is lightweight, flexible, plastic, elastic. Hygroscopicity will not allow air to stagnate, so you can not be afraid of unpleasant odors. The flexibility of drywall allows you to embody additional interesting ideas: cascades, arches, small niches. When working with gypsum plasterboard, a minimum of debris, so cleaning for many hours can be eliminated. With the subsequent decoration, he has no equal, but it is not worth attaching shelves to it - it can not withstand the weight.

Plasterboard partition

To fence off the wall, it is enough to have the following tools:

  • metal profile 50-100 mm;
  • gypsum plasterboard;
  • primer;
  • insulation;
  • putty;
  • mounting details;
  • screwdriver.

Creating a dressing room

  2. Glue a double-sided adhesive tape on the profile to fit snugly to the plane.
  3. Attach the runways to the floor.

    Floor profiles

    Along the perimeter of the future walls we install Mon-profiles on the floor and on the ceiling.

  4. Attach vertical guides to the walls so that both profiles are connected. Vertical elements can be mounted directly on the wall or on special hangers.

    Install vertical edges of the future construction of PS-profiles

  5. Mount the doorway. Racks are also made of metal profile, which is fixed in the upper and lower guides with self-tapping screws.
  6. For vertically fixed profiles, set the transverse, which determines the height of the doorway. The horizontal bar should be fastened for rigidity with the top rail.
  7. In 600 mm increments, add the remaining vertical elements.
    Horizontal stiffeners

    Then install the horizontal stiffeners of the PN profiles.

Filling the dressing room

To date, the global market offers the most diverse fillings for a dressing room: from budget Chinese organizers for things to world-famous furniture brands. However, taking into account the average area of ​​a city apartment, it is better to forget about furniture, because it threatens to fill the space where every inch is counted. The best organization is open shelves, drawers, hangers.

You can combine them together in three different types of designs.

  • Cabinet. The hull structure uses wood panels. This type of construction is characterized by the presence of angular elements and rigid fixation.

  • Loft. A good option for large areas. It has an abundance of metal parts. Boxes with baskets for things can be used from any material.

Each type of construction should fall under the general rule: under the bars with hangers you need to allocate three times more space than under the shelves.

Shelves for dressing room do it yourself.

However, the option with purchased shelves may not be suitable for those whose dressing room differs in an irregular shape - or those who want to create their own unique, unique design. In this case, you can make shelves for your own dressing room. In addition, the manufacture of homemade shelves will cost less than the purchase of high-grade wardrobes for clothes.

When choosing a place, remember that there are three zones in the dressing room: the lower one (up to 0.6 m), the middle one (from 0.6 to 1.9 m), the upper one (1.9 m and above). Consider the dimensions of the shelf, based on the total area of ​​the room. Prepare tools: grinder, jigsaw (hand saw), screwdriver (screwdrivers), electric drill, self-tapping screws or wood screws, wood varnish, paintbrush, square, hand mill.

During the work remember that each detail needs to be processed by a grinder. It is necessary to work in gloves, they will protect hands from wounds and will allow not to mess a tree.

Dressing room design

What you need to remember when decorating a dressing room?

  1. Shine. The main rule of lighting is that the light should be as close to natural as possible, especially if there is no window in the dressing room. The most convenient lighting option is the ceiling one. For a small dressing room you need to install spotlights or LED strip. For a large chandelier fits, and for the corner wardrobe - lamps with clothespins. Ceiling lighting can be combined with lighting sconces, floor lamps.As an option - lamps with a built-in motion sensor or lamps as a decorative element.
  2. Ventilation. To prevent things from dampening, to prevent mold growth, it is necessary to ventilate. To the dressing room without a window you need to lead the exhaust channel, installing a fan at its entrance. It will provide the necessary flow of air masses.
  3. Mirror. One of the main attributes of the dressing room is a mirror. For a dressing room it is optimal to choose a full-length mirror to see your own image completely. The mirror can be hung on the wall or embedded in the closet door for clothes, which will significantly save space. In addition to the main function, the mirror adds a dressing room light, helps to visually increase the space.
  4. Furniture. If space allows, in the dressing room should put a small table, ottoman or easy chair. They are not only décor elements, but also carry functional load. It is important that the pieces of furniture are not bulky, but fit well into the decor of the room.
  5. Accessories. Small decorative accessories will bring brightness, make it more elegant, aesthetically appealing. A small carpet in the center, glass vases with flowers or decorative stones, or air statuettes will add extra gloss.

Dressing room design should not be independent. It must be done in the same style as the design of the entire apartment. To do this, you can choose the same color scheme or common, connecting all the elements of the interior room.
