Mobile modification systems are equipped with notches along the entire length. This allows each element to be moved independently of the other. Can be moved from row to row. The height of the shelves and the width between them are adjustable. To fasten components, racks with a straight section are selected. Grooves are cut on both sides.

Proper design organizes the space, creating maximum functionality and comfortable storage.

Making a dressing room project

Making your own dressing room requires advance training in the intricacies of the work. It is recommended to watch the training video or study the necessary literature. This will eliminate errors during the manufacturing process.

The first step is to create a dressing room project. The circuit implements the subsequent execution of actions. How to make a dressing room in the hallway with your own hands, important points sketch formation:

First, a drawing of the compartment is created;
The data is transferred to paper or to a special program on a PC. Without sufficient experience and skills, difficulties often arise;
The dimensions of racks and shelves are formed. A depth not exceeding fifty centimeters is taken into account.
If difficulties arise in the selection, the finished drawing is taken as a basis.
The presence of doors, sizes and configurations are determined: standard, swing, sliding types.
Reliable fasteners for all elements are thought out.

The completed project contains necessary calculations and a visual visualization of the dressing room. Additionally, an estimate of the required material is drawn up.

Materials

To make the structure you will need some tools and materials for the work. The list is compiled based on the information from the compiled project:

The frame is created from guides and rack profiles. It is important to consider the thickness of the partitions. Thick ones take up a lot of space, limiting space;
The partitions are covered with plasterboard up to fifteen millimeters. It is advisable to choose moisture-resistant varieties;
The frame is filled with soundproofing materials, for example, mineral wool;
For finishing work: putty, mesh that strengthens the putty layer, finishing in the form of wallpaper, paint or wall panels;
Lighting devices, sockets, switches, wires for electrical wiring;
Accessories for storage systems, doors and other possible elements;
Shelves, racks, mirrors, other filling elements. When choosing, they rely on the layout, individual wishes and financial capabilities.

Work plan

Self-production of a plasterboard dressing room is easy to implement if all steps are carried out sequentially.

Installation of the structure:

Apply markings to the walls using a building level;
Make holes for the dowels according to the markings;
Secure the profile with screws;
Mount the ventral posts into the guides, taking into account a distance of sixty centimeters;
Assemble the structure;
If available in wardrobe doors strengthen the structure with special jumpers.

The resulting device must have a strong foundation. Avoid deflections, distortions, and instability.

Rack

The wardrobe rack is able to embody all the ideas of the owners. Increases capacity, functionality and appeal. Made from affordable and easy-to-process materials. Sequence of stages:

Apply markings to the walls and floor;
Install the guides, taking into account the formation of a groove for attaching the racks;
Carry out the cladding based on your overall style and preferences.

Pencil case

Narrow cabinets are used to store clothes and small items. The pencil case can be equipped with retractable side hangers. The stages of creating a pencil case do not cause difficulties or problems:

Selection of necessary materials. Pay attention to the special side rollers;
Assembling the hanger and securing the rollers;
Fixation of the rear and upper walls;
Hanger location;
Side panel assembly.

Finishing

The type of dressing room is decided at the first stage when drawing up a sketch. If the finishing is done on plasterboard sheathing, you can fix the decorative elements. Finishing sequence:

Fixing plasterboard sheets to the frame;
Putty with the prevention of cracks due to self-adhesive tape;
Applying a second layer;
Primer with protection against excessive moisture;
Painting or paneling.

Ventilation and lighting

The dressing room often does not have windows. There is no flow of fresh air and natural light. Worth considering proper ventilation and installation of lighting fixtures:

Construction of partitions and doors with technological gaps;
Hole in the wall above the baseboard level;
For private houses, ventilation holes are made directly in the floors.

For optimal lighting Several lamps are needed, taking into account the features of the dressing room. One or more lamps on the ceiling, LED lighting in the volumetric compartments of the structure, mirror lighting.

An example of lighting in a dressing room without windows.

Quality materials will extend the service life.

Video: DIY dressing room

A separate room, which in some cases can be made in the form of a niche in the wall in an apartment, is called a dressing room. Layouts with dimensions, layout tips and options for ready-made layouts are presented in this material. In this article you will learn the following:

what are the purposes of dressing rooms and what design problems do they solve;
how to choose the right layout and what types there are;
tips for home improvement and options for ready-made layouts.

In a country house

Purpose of a dressing room in an apartment

A very convenient and rational solution is to have a dressing room in the apartment, but for now some people consider this overkill. Many people simply don’t know how much useful space they can save, because in this room you can store all your shoes and clothes, as well as other things. Everything will be in one place, so you can find what you need easily and quickly.

For husband and wife

In every individual case the layout of storage areas, the presence of several tiers, the layout of the dressing room and its dimensions are determined separately, depending on the size of the space allocated for it and the wishes of the apartment owners. Even in small room you can find a place for a dressing room, with it you can do away with cabinets, bedside tables, various shelves and get additional free space.

Having a dressing room solves the following problems:

frees up free space in the apartment;
the ability to store clothes, shoes, hats and other things in one place;
you can store household appliances: hair dryer, iron, curling iron and others;
in a large room you can make a fitting room.

Dressing room - layout with dimensions and optimal layout

Storage area - a set of shelves, hangers and drawers that are located along the wall and various things are stored on them. Depending on the height of the room, it can be one, two, three-tier, etc. layout, that is, shelves and hangers are arranged in one or more floors.

1-tier layout

In this case, there is only one bar on which hangers with clothes are hung. It is located at a height of 1.7-2 m from the floor. But this option is inconvenient, since it does not allow storing a large number of clothes and is used very rarely.

One tier

2-tier layout

Such a dressing room (layout with dimensions below) can be of two types: both tiers are intended for storing clothes, but they must be the same height, while upper tier at a height of 2.2-2.4 m, and the lower one is very close to the ground, and the clothes will reach the floor. This is an inconvenient solution, so it is more rational to make the lower tier at a height of 0.5 m from the floor and store shoes in it, and the second tier at a height of 2 m, and clothes on hangers will be stored on it.

Two tiers

In the rich and large apartments Duct ventilation is almost always installed to take air from the street, clean it and supply it to the room; it is located under the ceiling and takes up quite a lot of space. Usually it is installed in a separate room in the center of the apartment, and the rest of the space, the height of which is about 2.1 m, is occupied by a two-tier dressing room.

3-tier layout

This option is considered the most convenient. It consists of three tiers: the bottom one is for storing shoes, the second one is for clothes, and the third one stores hats, scarves, etc. If we talk about sizes, the optimal height for the lower tier is 50 cm. The clothes rail is located at a height of 2 m, and an additional shelf is installed at a height of 2.1 m.

Three tiers

4-tier layout

This option assumes that shoes will be stored on the first tier, then two tiers for clothes and an upper shelf for hats, scarves, etc. are installed. This arrangement is only suitable for short clothes, the top rod is located at a height of 2.2-2.4 m, and the shelf is at a height of 2.3-2.5 m, so it will be inconvenient to use them.

4 tiers

The depth of the shelf for shoes should be 30-45 cm, since it is stored in one row and is located perpendicular to the wall, it is irrational to make it larger; the depth of the middle tier and the top shelf should be 60 cm.

Comparative table of advantages and disadvantages of all types of tiers

Wardrobe tiered type	Advantages	Flaws
Single-tier	● simplicity	● irrational use of free space
Bunk	● more rational use of free space; ● you can make two options: top and bottom clothes, top clothes - bottom shoes; ● allows you to install a duct ventilation system	● the first option allows you to store only clothes; using the second tier will be inconvenient
Three-tier	● convenient location; ● saving free space; ● allows you to store shoes, clothes, hats at the same time	● there must be sufficient room height
Quadruple	● the ability to store a large amount of clothing; ● entertainment, usually used in stores.	● the room must have a large height; ● it is inconvenient to remove shoes from under the bottom row of clothes; ● the second tier and shelf are located at a high height, so they are inconvenient to use.

Tips on how to properly arrange a dressing room with your own hands

In order to make the most efficient use of the entire area of the dressing room, the layout with dimensions should take into account what things you are going to have and in what quantities. Only after this can you proceed to planning the size and number of shelves, niches and drawers.

In the apartment

For the convenience of storing things, there are several storage systems:

The cellular system looks like a rail that is fixed to the wall; drawers, shelves and other elements are installed on it. This is very convenient, since elements can be swapped and supplemented. If the need arises, such a system can be expanded or dismantled;
if you want to create a unique dressing room design, then install mesh systems trimmed with wood. They are just as functional, but look more beautiful;
a more budget-friendly option is a mesh structure trimmed with chipboard. Drawers and shelves made of Practical chipboard, convenient and inexpensive.

As a rule, rods, shelves, drawers, baskets and other elements are installed that allow you to store both things and shoes. Also very popular is the presence of drawers.

Important: A retractable rod (pantograph) allows you to lower and raise things; you can hide up everything that is used only in a certain season. This is very convenient, but the cost of such a device is high.

In addition to functionality, it is worth paying attention to the appearance of the elements used. Beautiful and practical baskets, shelves trimmed with fabric, wood - such elements can be either stationary or sliding.

In red

When creating shelving, provide for the possibility of moving it so that you can change the height of the shelves. There are special shelves for storing shoes, which are called “shoe racks”. For belts, ties and trousers, you need to install special hangers.

If you have a large dressing room, you can store not only shoes and clothes in it, but also other items, for example, household appliances, for which a separate place is provided.

Wardrobe layouts and their optimal sizes

The first step is to draw up a layout with dimensions. Dressing rooms can be one-sided, in which case the storage area is on one side of the passage, L-shaped, two-sided, three-sided and four-sided.

Advice: Don't forget that the purpose of creating a dressing room is to save as much free space as possible in the room and at the same time make it convenient to store things.

View from above

The following types of layouts are distinguished:

one-sided;
L-shaped;
with two sides;
tripartite;
4-sided.

Unilateral

The length of this room can be any, it all depends on the size of the room. The optimal width is 1.35 m, with 10 cm needed for edging the doorway; if a 60 cm door is used, then it needs 70 cm width. There remains 55 cm, but when installing the door they will increase by 5 cm and you will get 60 cm for a niche, shelves for shoes and hats.

If there is little free space and there is no wall next to the door, then the flanging can be reduced, and when the trim inside is cut, it can be completely removed. In this case, the door is located close to the wall, but the width of the dressing room is reduced to 1.25 cm.

One side

Plan

Often people choose the specified layout and simply shorten the room by 1.4 meters and install a wall, but this is irrational. In this case, you can simply install a cabinet, and you will not need to take away 70 cm of width in order to organize an approach to it. This option can be chosen in the case where another cabinet can be placed on the side of the room, but it can be implemented if the length of the room is at least 5 m, and this is very rare.

This option is usually used in apartments with an open plan, as it allows you to adjust their shape.

Important: The maximum width of a one-sided wardrobe layout option is 1.45 m; if it is 1.5 m, then it is already possible to make shelves 0.3 m deep on the other side of the aisle.

L-shaped

This option is used if there are problem areas in the room, when it is impossible to make shelving along parallel walls. In this case, the racks are made so that they back wall was turned towards the living area, which avoids creating a partition. Then the entrance is left open or hidden behind a curtain or mobile screen.

L-shaped

Plan

If you have a blank wall, it is better to make “loft” shelving rather than classic shelving. Such a dressing room is usually made in a separate room and combines storage space and, for example, an office or another room; in this case, the shelves are made from floor to ceiling and they are closed.

2-sided

If you have the opportunity to allocate 1.75 m of room width, then in this case you can make a double-sided dressing room. The minimum width of the passage is 0.55 m; for two storage areas you will need 0.6 m each, that is, 1.2 m. If with a one-sided layout the door usually opens inward, here, for ease of use, it opens outward. If it is not possible to make a door that opens outward, then make it open inward, since safety is more important than comfort.

On both sides

Plan

3-way

In this case, the minimum width of this room is 2 m. Its layout requires obligatory overlapping of the racks, otherwise you will have unused corners and the space is used irrationally. In order for you to be able to reach things in the corners, you will have to move the clothes on the hangers. The length of such a dressing room must be at least 0.8 m.

On three walls

Plan

Important: If you have mostly right-handed people living in your house, then do the overlap counterclockwise, first do right side, it overlaps with the middle one, and only then with the left one.

4-way

The minimum width here should be 2.6 m if the auxiliary area is located to the left of the door, and 2.8 m if it is located to the right. If the width of the dressing room is large, as in the layout with the dimensions below, then you can make a three- or four-row layout when the racks are installed in parallel.

Four sides

Important: The correct choice of dressing room layout will allow you to rationally use the space allocated for its creation.

Comparative table of advantages and disadvantages of different wardrobe layouts

Layout option	Advantages	Flaws
One-sided	● takes up little space; ● ease of creation; ● the ability to rationally use space in open-plan rooms	● things are only on one side, so you won’t be able to place a lot of them
L-shaped	● can be installed in rooms with problem areas	● little space; ● if there is an open entrance, it does not look very aesthetically pleasing
Double sided	● convenient layout; ● ability to store a lot of things	● if it is not possible to make a door that opens outward, then when opened inward, it will block free access to things
Tripartite	● the ability to rationally use the allocated space; ● you can store a lot of things	● the presence of overlapping racks creates inconvenience when getting clothes located in the corners
Quadruple	● the ability to rationally use all the space in the room; ● you can store a lot of things	● the need for large free space

Ventilation in a dressing room without a window

To properly store things in the dressing room, it is necessary to provide ventilation. It ensures the supply of air from outside and organizes its removal through exhaust ducts.

With ventilation

Usually there are no windows in this room, so it is necessary to exhaust duct. Air enters the dressing room indirectly, that is, from adjacent rooms. So that he can get inside this room, there are gaps in the doors. In the absence of an exhaust duct, the dressing room will not only have an unpleasant odor, but also increased moisture, which will create the preconditions for the development of fungus and mold.

There are several options for organizing ventilation in a dressing room without a window:

when creating a room, you need to make an exhaust duct, then air comes inside from neighboring rooms through the gaps between the doors;
if one of the walls borders the street, fresh air can be obtained through wall valves, with the help of which the air flow is regulated;
Wall valves are used to receive air, and a transfer valve is used to remove it; it is installed at the top of the wall, opposite the supply valve.

Advice: To organize forced ventilation, a separate exhaust duct is made in the dressing room, into which an exhaust fan can be installed.

What can a large and expensive dressing room look like?

To store beautiful and luxury items, there must be a large and expensive dressing room. The layout and dimensions should imply greater functionality and practicality of the room.

All elements of this room must be combined in style, material, color and texture. Typically, luxury furniture is made from natural materials, this can be wood, but can often be replaced with high quality MDF boards.

In the house

All hinged drawers and doors must have closers, which makes them easier to use. In addition, an elite dressing room must have a mirror. It has sockets for turning on a hair dryer, curling iron or other household appliances. Having good lighting is prerequisite, because this is not only a place to store things, but also a fitting room and a place where they change clothes. Not only room lighting is organized, but also separate lighting of shelves and drawers, using built-in lamps.

Options for ready-made layouts for a dressing room

When choosing the layout of a dressing room, after you have decided on its dimensions, you need to decide what their placement will be and think through all the details in detail. Even in a small room, the size of which is no more than two square meters, you can equip a spacious and comfortable dressing room.

Important: In order for you to use the dressing room conveniently and comfortably, it must have high-quality lighting not only on the ceiling or walls, but also in niches and drawers.

Regardless of the size of this room, ventilation must be provided in it, otherwise there will be an unpleasant odor and humidity may increase.

Dressing room - layout with dimensions 2x2

Even in the layout of a small dressing room with dimensions of 2x2, each family member should be allocated a separate place to store things to avoid confusion. Things that are rarely used are placed in the far corners; buy covers for storing suits and dresses. Even if there is a window and natural light, you still need to provide artificial light, since you will use this room not only during the day. It is better to install not a switch, but a motion sensor, then in the dark you will not have to look for where the light turns on.

area 2 sq m

Even in such a small space you can fit all the clothes you have at home. One of the layout options is to install a closet with shelves in the center, and rods for hanging clothes with clothes on both sides.

If the room is small, then you can place shelves under the ceiling on which various things will lie. For greater practicality of such a dressing room, it is recommended to place many small shelves on one side, and a cabinet with drawers on the opposite wall.

Layout of a dressing room 3 sq m

This is the most common size dressing rooms, which can be equipped in most of our apartments. In this case, shelves of different sizes, drawers, and hanger rods, which can be either stationary or retractable, are used to store things. Convenient when there are niches for small clothes.

For three squares

If the room is 3 m2 in size, then it is recommended to use a hanger rod built into the shelf. This will save space, since you will place clothes on the shelf and store things on hangers on the bar. You can also equip the closet with drawers and regular shelves. A niche for hangers with clothes is made on the side.

Layout of a dressing room 4 sq m

With a room size of 4 m2, in addition to the fact that things will be stored in it, there is already enough free space to organize a place for changing clothes in the center. In addition, in such a dressing room you can separately place a cabinet for storing shoes.

Four square

Although a room measuring 4 m2 is not very large, you can store a lot of different clothes, shoes and other things in it. When choosing the layout of such a dressing room, you must immediately decide what kind of things you will save in it and, depending on this, make more shelves for small clothes or more hangers for suit dresses.

The problem of storing personal belongings occupies a very important place in the organization of living space. Traditionally, cabinets are used for this purpose, but much more convenient solution could be arranging a dressing room. And it’s not at all necessary to put it under clothes large room- any corner with an area of 2 sq.m. will do. Rational design of the dressing room will provide effective application every free area, allowing you to forget about bulky cabinets, chests of drawers and mezzanines.

Dressing room in the bedroom

In houses and apartments where a separate dressing room was not initially provided, it is easiest to arrange it in the bedroom, separating it with sliding sliding doors or any other wall. Even a high (to the ceiling) cabinet or rack with a passage can serve as a barrier.

A partition made of darkened matte glass with sandblasted patterns will look very modern. The advantages of this option are the environmental friendliness of the material, its ability to pass sunlight and minimum thickness.

Arrangement of a dressing room in the bedroom non-standard shape will allow you to balance the geometry of the room. Behind a screen it is easy to hide the excessive length of walls, the presence of niches or protrusions, using each feature of the architecture to its fullest potential.

Dressing room in the pantry

Even in very small apartments, where there is no question of a special room for clothes, at least 1-2 sq.m. sometimes reserved for storage. Often this space is ignored, but if desired, it can easily be turned into a convenient dressing room.

It is worth adding an ordinary 1x1 m niche with a mezzanine, narrow side shelves, lower drawers and metal rods, and it will become an excellent alternative to an expensive wardrobe, which would still have nowhere to put it.

Having a larger storage area opens up wide planning possibilities, but requires a thoughtful approach to the arrangement of storage systems. It is also very important to take care of sufficient ventilation of the room, protecting things from moisture, insects, animals and foreign odors.

Wardrobe room layout

Depending on the area, location of door and window openings, the number of things and the owners’ own preferences, the layout of the dressing room can be done different ways. Each of the presented options is characterized by certain features that make it suitable for a particular type of room.

Linear layout

It resembles a familiar wardrobe, with the only difference being that there are either no doors at all, or instead there is a floor-to-ceiling partition installed, and inside there is free space for moving along the shelves. This arrangement of the dressing room is ideal for installation in rectangular room along a blank wall or around a doorway.

Parallel layout

The optimal solution for elongated corridor-type rooms, with a window or a large mirror opposite the door. IN in this case shelves and hangers are located on opposite walls, thanks to which all things remain in sight, are easy to access, and the spaciousness of such a dressing room can only be envied.

The presence of a window opening solves the issue of ventilation and daylighting, so exactly parallel layout can be recommended when initially designing a dressing room in a drawing of an apartment or house.

U-shaped layout

Is one of the most convenient options when arranging large dressing rooms. To make it convenient to use the side walls, the central part must have a length of at least 1.5 m.

In such a room there is space for an ironing board, a chair (and sometimes even a small sofa) and a mirror, making it a comfortable fitting room.

Corner layout

Allows efficient use of space in rooms with limited area- bedrooms, hallways, children's rooms, attics. Placing storage systems at an angle of 90° makes it possible to store twice the volume of items compared to a conventional linear cabinet.

You can separate the dressing room using sliding doors- both standard and radius (semicircular). For high rooms, plasterboard or plywood partitions with a doorway are suitable, as well as various curtains and screens.

Arrangement of storage systems

Before furnishing the dressing room with furniture, it must be prepared taking into account all the requirements. Firstly, it must be a completely dry, ventilated room. It is not advisable to store clothes through the wall of the bathroom, kitchen or outer corner buildings, especially if it gets wet and is poorly lit by the sun. If there is no window, a ventilation opening with a fan, which will turn on automatically at specified intervals, will help organize the correct microclimate.

The second important criterion is insulation from foreign odors. To give things a pleasant aroma, you can put pillows or bags with dry herbs: lavender, mint, linden flowers. Essential oils plants will also protect clothes from moths and other insects, and to protect your favorite wardrobe items from attacks by pets, you should tightly close the bottom shelves and doors.

As for the storage systems themselves, you can either buy them already ready-made designs, or purchase components and do the installation yourself. The choice of wardrobes in furniture stores is quite wide: from luxurious cabinets made of varnished solid wood to products made of chipboard and simple plywood. The utilitarian purpose of the room does not set high criteria for the aesthetics of shelving and hangers, but the closest attention should be paid to the quality of fittings, moving elements and fastenings.

To ensure a convenient arrangement of things, it is necessary to consider the required number and sizes of certain compartments. For example, in a women's wardrobe, the height of the hangers should accommodate floor-length dresses, which is at least 1.6-1.8 m. The same height is recommended for outerwear. For jackets and shirts, 1.2 m will be enough. Optimal size shelves - 30-35 cm. The depth of the cabinets is calculated based on the width of the shoulders and can range from 50 to 70 cm.

The upper part of the dressing room is often left for storing seasonal items, suitcases, pillows and blankets. Above eye level, you can arrange shelves for hats, bags, umbrellas, and gloves. The middle areas are occupied by hangers and shelves, under them are chests of drawers with drawers for linen, and at the very bottom are nets and boxes with shoes. The latter is convenient to store in an inclined form, at an angle of 45-60°, as well as in rotating radius structures.

Proper wardrobe lighting will help make it easier to find what you need. For natural color rendering, it is advisable to choose neutral or warm white spectrum lamps In addition to the bright overhead light, spot LEDs that can be mounted into shelves will also help. Instead of ordinary lamps in the dressing room, small spotlights would be appropriate, the direction of which can be changed at your discretion.

Useful additions

In addition to storage systems in the form of shelves, drawers and hangers, a dressing room cannot do without other auxiliary items. What exactly is needed to comfortably and quickly put together an outfit for work, walking or going out?

Ironing board- when folded, no one will notice it, especially if you hide this useful item in a narrow niche between the sections of the wardrobe. Additionally, you need to install an outlet and find a place for the iron, while strictly observing fire safety rules.

Folding stepladder will be needed to get the right thing from the upper "floors". And if in a small dressing room an ordinary chair or stool can cope with this function, then for high rooms a light metal staircase will be indispensable.

Organizers for jewelry, hairpins, ties, belts and other jewelry will allow you to keep small details in sight, and they will always be at hand to add the final highlight to the finished ensemble.

Full length mirror- an integral attribute of a full-fledged dressing room. It can be installed in a free recess, making mirror door or attach it to the partition from the inside.

Side light sources should be located at a distance of 8-10 cm on both sides of the mirror, slightly below eye level, and another lamp should be located directly above the mirror. Thus, the person’s face and figure will be illuminated without the formation of shadows that distort the appearance.

Dressing room decoration

Although the dressing room is usually hidden from prying eyes, even it cannot be done without minimal finishing. Considering the purpose of this storage room, you can use the simplest materials. The main thing is that they do not accumulate dust and moisture, and also do not interfere with the free circulation of air.

Floor

The floor in the dressing room can be exactly the same as in the living room, bedroom or nursery. Wooden boards (including unpainted ones), parquet, laminate, and cork are suitable. You should avoid carpeting and rugs - they can become clogged with small fluff from woolen clothes, fur collars, pieces of thread, and just dust.

Walls

The only requirement for the walls in the dressing room is that they do not crumble, otherwise sand and cement or lime can stain things. Regular painting, inexpensive decorative plaster, paper wallpaper. The footage of this room is usually small, so it is advisable to choose a light color - white, yellowish or beige.

Ceiling

The ceiling does not play a big role in the design of the dressing room, so it can be left completely unfinished (especially if the rest of the design is made in the loft style). In classic versions, a flat, light surface would be appropriate - painting, wallpaper, hanging panels, stretch fabric, etc.

At first glance, it may seem that a dressing room is an unaffordable luxury by the standards of standard Russian apartments. In fact, losing precious meters by separating a relatively large part of the living space for “household needs” is quite a bold decision. However, this “product” of Western civilization appears in an increasing number of Russian apartments (it penetrates more and more into Russian homes) - and no wonder. No matter how paradoxical it may sound, a separate dressing room, even a small one, not only does not take away, but, on the contrary, saves space, allowing you to free up more space for living in the remaining rooms.

However, simply allocating space to store clothes is not enough. In this article we will talk about how to properly plan a dressing room, what nuances and details to take into account in order not only to use the space rationally, but also to use it as comfortably as possible.

Part one. Planning

Like all great things, organizing a walk-in closet must begin with planning and analysis.

Step 1. One person or several? We decide on the users of the dressing room - one person, spouses, the whole family or children. Ideally, each family member should have their own separate room (even if small), but, unfortunately, in most Russian apartments this is unrealistic. If the dressing room is used by 2-3 people, each should have their own “zone of influence”.

Step 2. We determine what exactly will be stored in the dressing room, what kind of things.
In the dressing room you can store both basic things, shoes, and blankets, pillows, suitcases, large bags, sports equipment, as well as jewelry. It all depends on the size of the room or the amount of space allocated for the dressing room.

Step 3. We sort things for storage: we divide them into those that are stored hanging and those that require shelves for storage. As a result we get A) how many hangers do you need? b) how many shelves do you need?

Important! Leave some stock! After all, the wardrobe is replenished, and with throwing away, taking into account the traditional Russian “frugality” and ingenuity in using unnecessary things, sometimes big problems arise :))

Step 4. We measure the most Long Dresses to understand which compartments to plan for long items. Again, a nuance - if you have one super-long evening dress in your wardrobe, you shouldn’t adjust the height of the bar just to it. Such an outfit can easily be stored thrown over the bar of a hanger (in a dress case, of course).

Step 5. Having the dimensions available (both of the room and what needs to be placed there) and knowing exactly the number of shelves, you can begin to draw a sketch of the dressing room. Alternatively, you can simply draw on paper what needs to be placed, on a scale of, say, 1:10, cut it out, and visually move it back and forth, thinking through the optimal combination.

Ease of use must also be taken into account. The tables below show how much space a person occupies in what positions and what height he can reach.

When planning a dressing room, also take into account the zoning rules (posted at the end of the article).

“At the end” you will have a clear, well-thought-out diagram, on the basis of which you can order cabinets and shelving, and it will also become clear what hangers and additional accessories are needed.

Part two. "CENTIMETTER"

Cabinet width

As for the width of the compartments for things stored on hangers: according to experts, the normal distance between hangers can be considered 5 centimeters, dense placement - 2 cm. When planning, please keep in mind that optimality is optimality, and no one has yet canceled ventilation. Even if you eat, you can be proud that you haven’t “wasted” a single centimeter; the price for such rationality will be an unpleasant musty smell in the dressing room (do you still remember the smells in grandma’s closets and chests?). In addition, clothes that are poorly ventilated are less durable.

The width of hangers is 34-51 centimeters. They are selected based on the size of your clothes. Considering the wide selection of this accessory (at least even in our online store), this is quite easy to provide (we have already told you)

The depth of the cabinet is from 50 to 60 centimeters. The European standard is 56 centimeters.

There are two types of items stored on hangers: long And short. For the former, a compartment of 1.5 meters is provided, for the latter – about 1 meter.

Trouser compartment – 120-130 cm

Some tips:

✔ The distance between the clothes rail and the top shelf should be at least 4-5 centimeters to make it convenient to remove clothes.

✔ It is better to store short items on two rods, one above the other, the optimal distance between them is 80-100 cm (the height of one short rod is approximately 100 cm)

✔ Shelves. The height of the shelves is 35-40 cm. According to furniture experts, it should be at least 32 cm.

✔ “Time-tested” shelf depth - 40 cm+

✔ If you make shelves 50-60 cm wide, 2 stacks of things will fit on them accurately and neatly. In our opinion, this is a very comfortable size. Long shelves (80 cm) must be “supported” from below with something so that they do not sag under the weight of the contents (provide a partition at the bottom).

✔ Storage boxes. The optimal width of drawers for storage is 40-70 cm, height is about 40. These dimensions provide optimal load on the retractable mechanism.

✔ Drawers and baskets should be placed at a distance of no higher than 110 cm, otherwise it will be inconvenient to use them. As a last resort - no higher than 140 cm (take into account height! The average height of a Russian is 160-180 cm.)

As for the length of stored clothing, it is individual in each specific case. Before planning a dressing room, of course, it is better to measure the jackets, skirts, trousers, blouses available...

Table of approximate clothing sizes by height

Part three. DRESSING ROOM EQUIPMENT

1. Bars and pantographs

The fundamental, so to speak, element of the dressing room. As mentioned above, planning this useful space always begins with choosing a place for long things, and for these purposes a high rod (165+) is used. For shirts, jackets, and blouses, shorter rods are needed, about 100 cm, and there are usually several of them.

- This is a bar with a special mechanism that allows it to be lowered to a convenient height. The pantograph is very convenient if you decide to use the entire wall for storing short items.

2. Pull-out trouser hangers

They should be approximately 60 cm high

3. Drawers

Used for storing underwear and bed linen, accessories and jewelry.
By stocking them and organizing the small things inside, you can avoid chaos and buy some of the time usually spent searching and cleaning. In addition, contemplating neat rows of laundry every morning will give you a sense of order for the whole day.

4. Shelves

They can be either stationary or retractable.

5. Boxes and baskets

In such an irreplaceable thing as, you can store anything you want. Magazines, albums, photographs, various small items, art and sewing supplies... Previously, the entire range of such packaging was limited to used shoe boxes made from bad cardboard. Now the boxes are produced in the most different sizes, colors and excellent quality; Thanks to the correct shape, you can fill any space with them so that not a single centimeter is lost.

Baskets, especially retractable cellular ones, are very convenient for storing bed linen and small items.

6. Shoe storage devices

Shoes, as you know, come with and without heels, open and closed, soft and molded, summer and winter (shoes and boots), as well as less common “special cases” in the form of ski boots, etc. And if there are no questions with the placement of rarely used or seasonal shoes (they will go to the mezzanine, soft ones - in, the rest - in boxes), then with everything else there are options.

To place shoes that you decide to store without boxes in the dressing room, you can do the following:

open shelves, both regular and inclined (suitable for shoes with flat soles),
special stands(keep high-heeled shoes),
special hooks for storing boots in a suspended state (to avoid creases in the top).

Before design begins, each pair is measured. Approximate dimensions pairs of boots are 25cm wide and 30-40cm long, but everything, of course, is individual and depends on the size of the shoe.

7. Hangers for ties, scarves, belts and umbrellas

There are retractable, circular (installed in the corner), hanging (in this case, accessories are stored on a bar, like regular clothes; there are the most different forms, sometimes quite interesting). Belts, scarves and umbrellas can also be placed on regular wall hooks.

8. Compartments for ironing board and dryer

9. Mirrors

If the dressing room is spacious and allows you to dress there, then a mirror in which you can see yourself in full length is a must. It’s good to have an additional, small one, so that you can evaluate your rear view.

This leads to an important sub-point: LIGHTING. Good lighting where you dress is just as necessary as a large mirror. If the lighting is only artificial, install several spotlights.

10. If possible, the dressing room is well equipped ottoman, a cabinet or at least a console.

Part four. Zoning

When planning a dressing room there are rules. Some are recommended by experts, while others (such as, for example, the width of the passage between cabinets) are dictated by reality and it is simply impossible not to comply with them.

Zoning rules

1. First we distribute long clothes. And then everything else. It is much easier to vary the combinations of small components than large ones.

2. The principle of distributing things: “as we carry, so we store”, i.e. We place shoes at the bottom and hats at the top.

3. What you wear should be visible: on rods or in the most accessible drawers (+/- 40 cm)

4. In the upper part (40-50 cm to the ceiling) mezzanines are usually arranged (where suitcases, seasonal items, blankets, etc. “will go to live”)

5. For pull-out elements (shelves, drawers, baskets) it is necessary to provide additional space (so that they have somewhere to pull out). As a rule, it is about 50 cm.

6. To make it convenient to move between cabinets and racks, the minimum recommended passage width is 60 centimeters. When planning, this “aspect” must be taken into account.

7. If more than one person will use the dressing room, then for each it is necessary to foresee and plan in advance their own “zone of influence” where they can place their things.

The text provides examples of storage system planning diagrams to give you a general idea of the sizes of the various sections. Each case is individual and you may end up with something completely different from the samples, but exactly suitable for you - and therefore the ideal dressing room.

The dressing room is ideal place for storing all things, but the arrangement of items in it requires the home owner not only to choose a certain design style, but also to correctly position the shelves. This will ensure convenient use of the room and speed of selection of things. In stores you can find many cabinets that may not always be suitable for a particular room.

Space for a dressing room

To make using a room more convenient, you must first determine more appropriate place. If it will be used by the whole family, then it is better to place it where it will be accessible to everyone. But most often such a room is located near the bedroom. When creating a dressing room, it is advisable to place it in such a place that access to it is not carried out through open spaces accessible to guests.

Important ! You should only think about creating such a room next to the bedroom if all the people spending the night in it get up at the same time. Otherwise, one of the household members will constantly disturb the other’s sleep.

Basic rules for planning a dressing room

To use the room more efficiently, you should listen to the following tips:

occupy all the space;
when placing men's and women's items, they must be stored separately;
outerwear should be hung closer to the exit;
if you arrange all things by color, then searching for them will be simplified;

for convenience, it is better to install an ottoman in the room and hang a mirror on the wall;
Pantograph elevators will make it easier to take things.

How to choose room filling elements

Before creating a wardrobe room, you need to draw up a plan in advance, which outlines the placement of cabinets and shelves. This will make the room more comfortable. It is worth paying attention to the various retractable designs. You also need to install:

drawers with compartments for storing ties,
shelves for shirts,
containers for things
mesh shelves for dressing room.

To reduce space, you can use a pull-out table with a mirror. For more rational use Many spaces use rotating columns with round shelves, as well as drawers on wheels. Frequently purchased metal shelves in the dressing room, which are a cheaper option than specialized cabinets.

Is it worth making shelves yourself?

Furniture stores offer many options for wardrobes, so almost everyone can choose one for their apartment. best product. But in some cases, the space of the room is not designed for standard furniture. In such a situation, it is best to create shelves for the dressing room yourself. To do this, just look at the options available in stores and create ones similar to them, only with different sizes.

You can also purchase prefabricated shelves for your dressing room. They are good because the size of the entire structure can be changed by removing or adding new elements.

Before arranging shelves in the dressing room, you should consider the advantages of making them yourself:

you can take into account the size of the room and create furniture that allows you to use all the available space;
placement of shelves taking into account the individuality of the owner;
possibility to combine various options retractable structures.

Which material to choose

First you need to think about what to make shelves for the dressing room from. Big choice construction products will satisfy every buyer's taste. The most practical are:

plywood;
tree;
drywall;
plastic;

Metal shelves are also often used in the dressing room.

Chipboards are in great demand in the construction market. Its design has a high degree of permissible load and is sold at a favorable price.

Important ! Before creating a shelf from this material, it is worth clarifying the subtleties of sawing the slabs. This requires special skills in working with tools and precise execution of instructions.

An excellent choice is wooden plank. Before purchasing a material, it is selected according to the following criteria:

type of wood - it is better to make shelves from pine or spruce;
type of material - boards can be planed or unplaned;
quality of products - you can choose second class wood;
surface cleanliness - only clean boards without visible damage are selected for shelves;
humidity - products must be well dried, which prevents their deformation in the future.

Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. The choice is made depending on preferences, funds and the overall style of the room.

Design

Before you make shelves in your dressing room with your own hands, you should think about their location. Structures are built not only in the shape of a rectangle. Corner space It is more rational to fill with round structures. This allows you to place things without adding depth to the shelves in the closet, makes it easier to access clothes and increases free space.

Important ! At least 80 cm must be allocated for the passage.

Shelves can be made stationary or retractable. This solution is convenient for the lower part of the dressing room. You can store both large items and various small items in them. They should be carefully placed over the entire surface. When the structure is pulled out, things will again appear in the same arrangement. This shelf successfully replaces baskets and drawers, which are represented by more expensive options.

For greater practicality retractable structures are made with shallow cells, which increases ease of use. It is worth remembering that the arrangement of shelves in the dressing room should be convenient for the apartment owner. If standard options are not suitable, they should be changed.

Dimensions of shelves in the dressing room

When creating wardrobe shelves with your own hands, you carefully calculate the parameters of each module. The normal height for the average level is 160 cm. This is the length of a standard dress. Top part wardrobe design should be at a distance of 7-10 cm from the ceiling. The size of the middle tier is subtracted from the height of the entire structure and the characteristics of the lower part are obtained. The depth of the middle segment is not made less than 50 cm. This is due to standard sizes hangers (45 cm).

When calculating the width of each module, it is necessary to take into account that a separate section for hangers, clothes and linen will be made for all family members. Standard width internal shelves are 40 cm. Mezzanines and sections with hangers are created with a standard width of 80 cm. The lower tier can be made arbitrary sizes. For example, a pair of men's shoes is 25 cm wide.

Important ! The deep depth of the shelves makes it difficult to access their contents. For clothing, the optimal parameter is 30-40 cm.

Shelf levels

There are only 3 zones in the dressing room:

lower,
average,
top.

The first should not be higher than 80 cm, the second is usually in the range from 60 to 190 cm. The upper zone must be located at a height of more than 1.9 m. This allows you to most effectively divide the space. Rarely used items are located on the shelves in the lower zone. This is where the drawers with linen are located. Also on this level there are shelves for storing shoes. The height of such a compartment in the dressing room should be more than 45 centimeters. This allows you to avoid twisting the tops of women's boots.

Before arranging the shelves, you need to make a list of rarely used items and place them at the bottom. At the same time, you should not fill all the shelves just because they are intended for something; you should create a dressing room only based on your needs.

The middle zone is intended for frequently used items and consists of rods with hangers, as well as shelves and drawers. Usually. Hangers with clothes are in the middle, and shelves are in the corners. This makes it easier to use all items. It is worth calculating the height of the rods in advance. Usually it is a maximum of 1.9 to the lower zone. If desired, you can install elevators, the cost of which is quite high.

When creating a dressing room, it is worth remembering that drawers should be located no higher than eye level. Otherwise, viewing all things will be problematic. It is worth paying attention to the space between the shelves. All items located in the dressing room must be well ventilated, which will prevent moths from appearing. The upper zone is intended for hats and things that are used somewhat less frequently than those in the middle.

When creating cabinets, it is enough to observe the approximate height of the shelves in the dressing room and the depth of each of them; their number and appearance depend only on the preferences of the owner.
