Do-it-yourself dressing room: drawings, diagrams and photos of functional systems. Dressing room: types, location, arrangement of shelves How to make a dressing room with your own hands

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 relatively most of living space for “household needs” is a rather 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 “thrift” 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 your wardrobe has one super long evening dress, you should not adjust the height of the bar only 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 racks, and it will also become clear which hangers and hangers are needed additional accessories.

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 neatly and neatly on them. 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 of 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. The approximate dimensions of a pair 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.

"Useful tips" from the furniture brand Komandor

"Wardrobe room: content, location, organization of space", website "Your Designer"

A wardrobe is an integral part of any apartment or private house. No matter how small the home, people will always find a place for a chest of drawers or its older brother. After all, this is the most important place for storing not only clothes, but also various items (home accounting, boxes with equipment, shoes, and so on). Today you can not only buy a ready-made wardrobe, but also order furniture according to individual parameters. We invite you to find out how you can make a wardrobe with your own hands.

Dressing room or closet?

Many people, when they hear the word “wardrobe,” imagine a room filled with racks and hangers of clothes and shoes. In fact, it could even be a furnished niche. By the way, it can also be done in the place where you plan to put a regular cabinet. The wardrobe you end up with will be much more spacious and roomy. And visually it will not “eat up” precious space. In other words, a regular wardrobe can serve as a dressing room.

The process of creating a wardrobe with your own hands is not quick. It consists of the following stages:

choice of location;
measuring dimensions;
creation of layout and drawings;
selection and procurement of materials;
wardrobe assembly.

Storage System Features

Have you noticed that when you open the door of an ordinary cabinet, some kind of aroma emanates from there? This happens because conventional wardrobes do not provide ventilation. In a modern wardrobe, an air ventilation system is a prerequisite for wardrobe design. No need for complex and intricate systems. It's enough to be natural ventilation. And then there will be no smell of mustiness or other ambers. Ventilation can be achieved by indenting the doors from the top border of the cabinet, creating special slots, or creating a small ventilation hole.

You also need to think about lighting. If the wardrobe you made with your own hands is shallow, then you can do without light. But if the dressing room is wider than a regular wardrobe, then for convenience you need to conduct wiring for at least one spotlight.

Ventilation and lighting are important. But the main point is the organization of the storage system. The dress can be made of one of the following types:

rack;
wardrobe corner;
pencil case;
niche.

Storage designs differ for each type. In some places, hanging clothes can only be stored on retractable rods; in others, the usual ones are provided. The dressing room may have drawers or shelves. All this depends not only on desires, but also on the capabilities of the room and the size of the structure itself.

Materials

When making a wardrobe with your own hands, you choose what materials you will use. By the way, you can save money at this point. After all, even what you already have at home can be used.

The best material for the base of the structure is wooden sheets (chipboards). They are able to withstand the entire load of the structure, and also have a number of useful properties. Among them are the absorption of moisture and its gradual release.

If you need dock doors, it is better to buy new material. For the internal filling, chipboard sheets that you have on hand are suitable (for example, from an old one. By the way, many stores offer a free service for cutting the material. Therefore, you can cut the wood on the spot, and all that remains is to assemble the structure at home.

What will the dressing room be like - dimensions of the structure

The size of the smallest dressing room is from 1.2 to 1.5 square meters. meters. That is, it is a rectangle, one side of which is 1.2 or 1.5 meters, and the other is 1 meter. By the way, there is one trick that will allow you to fit more things into a small dressing room. Just make it angular rather than rectangular. Most often, with a width of 1 meter, customers choose a cabinet length from 2 to 2.5 meters. Such a wardrobe will fit a lot of things, and it will take up almost the same area as a three-door wardrobe.

In addition to the dimensions, you need to know other parameters of the cabinet:

The height of the outerwear compartment varies from 100-150 cm from the floor to the level of the bar. Plus you need to add another 10 cm from the bar to the top crossbar.
The height of shoe and hat shelves is from 10 cm.
Linen shelves are usually made from 250 to 450 mm in height.

The depth of the wardrobe is from 65 to 100 cm. As a rule, this is enough for the hangers to be arranged functionally and the doors to close properly.

Knowing these parameters, you can easily understand what size cabinet you need and what the project will look like.

Wardrobe layout

Any dressing room should consist of at least two compartments - for hanging clothes and for folded ones. That is, one will have a hanging bar, and the other will have shelves and/or drawers.

As for the penultimate element, it is best to buy special iron shelves for dressing rooms. They have the appearance of a lattice, thanks to which the clothes will be well ventilated. But if you are an adherent of the vertical method of storing things, then it is better to focus on the classic version of shelves - made of chipboard.

You can also buy boxes ready-made in a store or have them assembled. But they are easy enough to make yourself. To create them you will need sheets of chipboard and plywood, which will go to the bottom. The cut can be ordered at the same place where you buy the material. It’s convenient when the drawers slide out on rollers. Therefore, do not forget to buy this mechanism.

Additional internal elements

Today it is quite easy to make a wardrobe with your own hands, because everything can be bought separately, including additional accessories for storing various things.

There are the following accessories for organizing and storing clothes and other wardrobe items:

Horizontal skirts and pants: have the form of transverse slats, which are attached to special guides. Sometimes they also have clips. You can easily hang skirts and trousers on these slats. Things will hang straight. The system extends forward, making it easy to hang and remove clothes.
Vertical hangers for skirts and trousers: they look like a hanger with several crossbars located one below the other. This system is characterized by a lower price and a compact placement method.
Horizontal and vertical tie rack. The principle is similar to trousers and skirts. Only the tie hangers are much narrower.
Pull-out brackets for hangers with clothes. This is a more expensive alternative to conventional barbells. Ideal option when you have a narrow dressing room. The dimensions of this bracket are small, but thanks to the retractable system you can place large number stuff deep into the closet.
a bar that has the ability to move down. Great option to make two levels of hangers. This way you can use the space of the closet to the very top, and when you get things out, you don’t have to go behind a stool or ladder. This storage system is equipped with a special handle, by pulling which you can lower the bar. True, the pantograph has a weight limit - up to 18 kilograms.
Various storage systems for shoes. These can be special mini-dressers, hanging organizers, hooks and hangers with clothespins for boots, a mesh with hooks, and so on. You can find an option to suit any budget and any size wardrobe.

Doors

A sliding wardrobe takes up less space than a wardrobe with doors. And it's not about the size of the wardrobe. It’s just that such a cabinet can be placed even in the narrowest place, you will still have access to its contents. After all, for sliding doors there is no need for space to open, as is the case with sashes. Therefore, this option of closing and opening the wardrobe is especially appropriate in corridors, hallways and small bedrooms.

There is also a wide range of cabinet designs to choose from when using sliding doors. You can choose a mirror surface, thereby using a trick to visually expand the space, or order photo printing on the doors, or come up with any other design method. It all depends on your fantasies, wishes and financial capabilities.

Drop-down doors also have their advantages. One of them is that you can make shutter doors. Then the question of ventilation will disappear.

Creating a Project

What the design of a dressing room will look like depends on many factors: the size of the space allocated for the closet, design features, and storage system options.

So, first, decide on the place where you will put the wardrobe. The drawings of the future project directly depend on whether the cabinet will be placed under the wall, or whether it will be made in an existing niche, whether additional walls and a top cover are needed or not, and so on.

When the place is chosen, decide on the following question: what kind of doors there will be. The doors can open or move apart along special guides. If the doors open, then they need additional space. The same goes for drawers.

Once you've sketched out your ideal wardrobe, move on to creating a working sketch. It is necessary to clearly calculate the depth and height of the cabinet, as well as the height of each compartment and drawer. This can be done based on the recommended parameters mentioned above.

Decide on the layout of your wardrobe. Calculate how many drawers, shelves, shoe compartments, the size of the rod and other accessories you need for your needs (we have already read above about what additional storage compartments there are). Also try to imagine where you would be most comfortable using certain storage systems. For example, it is better for you to place drawers in the left corner, and a bar for placing outerwear and suits on the right.

Tip: when drawing up a drawing of your dressing room, use ready-made plans that were developed by professionals. Sometimes it's easier to tweak a few things than to draw everything from scratch.

Design and implementation with specific examples

Dressing room plays important role, but still remains a utility room. Therefore, the main principle when creating a wardrobe design is to make sure it is not noticeable. This implies the peculiarities of choosing a place for a cabinet, and its appearance.

As a rule, the dressing room project is developed at the beginning of the renovation, and its design - at the very end. When the style of the entire room is already clear, the main palette has been determined, and so on.

As for the features of the appearance of the dressing room, which depend on the location of its implementation, let’s look at specific examples below.

Wardrobe from a pantry or any other niche

A DIY dressing room from the pantry is the simplest option you can come up with. The question of location and size goes aside. All that remains to be considered is the ventilation and lighting system, as well as the configuration option. It also turns out to save a lot on materials - the cabinet box is already there, and it is very durable, you only need to buy wood for the shelves and additional accessories for organizing storage, and also make doors.

Such a wardrobe can be created not only in the pantry, but also on a glazed loggia or in a glazed loggia. The principle of operation in these places is the same as when arranging a dressing room in a pantry.

Wardrobe corner

This option will be a little more expensive than the first, but will be more optimal. After all, most often pantries are located in the hallway, and it is not always convenient to make a dressing room there. Therefore, it is better to assemble a wardrobe corner in the bedroom. True, if the sleeping room is less than 16 square meters, then there is practically no space left for such a cabinet.

An embodiment of the wardrobe corner can be seen in the photo above. As you can see, storage compartments are placed on the walls in the corner of the room, and the doors are fixed on the sides. To create such a dressing room, a minimum of auxiliary materials are used.

Wardrobe-pencil case

A pencil case is a narrow and tall cabinet. It takes up quite little space, so it is suitable for small rooms. An example of the implementation of such a wardrobe could be placing the wardrobe on the sides of the bed (instead of

The internal contents of the wardrobe-pencil case are slightly different. No, the compartment with shelves and drawers remains the same. But to store outerwear, blouses, trousers, skirts, dresses and other things that are best stored hanging, you will have to buy a retractable rod.

By the way, the doors here will be wide open, since there is no room for sliding ones. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a place for their opening.

Rack

Wardrobe rack is a classic design option for cabinets. The most materials are used to create it, since it is necessary to make the side walls - the basis of the wardrobe. But with the equipment and internal filling, the situation here is much simpler. You can even save some money. For example, make only compartments for shelves and a regular bar, and abandon other accessories and structures.

It is worth noting that when creating a wardrobe-rack, all the profiles and guides to which all the filling of the wardrobe is attached are attached to the wall. Therefore, it should be made of concrete or brick, and not plasterboard. Since the load on the profiles and guide is very large. Drywall simply won't do the job.

As for the external design, shelving wardrobes are usually made with sliding doors. And, as stated above, they can be ordered of absolutely any type. Therefore, such wardrobes fit perfectly into any room without attracting much attention.

In order not to put clothes and personal items in narrow closets on small shelves, you should think about designing your own dressing room. After all, sometimes it’s not immediately possible to find the right item of clothing; you have to search for a long time and waste time. A dressing room does not have to be large; sometimes a small closet or pantry is enough.

What is a dressing room for?

It is very simple to make a dressing room with your own hands according to drawings and diagrams with photos; you can place it in any corner of the apartment. What is its advantage:

All things are neatly folded or hanging in one place.
You can immediately match your outfit with an accessory in the form of a bag, tie or headdress.
The opportunity to make any fantasy come true.
Light weight structures for creating shelves and partitions in the dressing room.
The ability to make the most of the resulting space.

Clothes do not wrinkle or wear out.
The ability to arrange clothes by color, season or style.
Inside you can store shoes, household items, such as an iron, ironing board, bed linen, baby or Christmas decorations etc.

Varieties

If you have a spacious apartment, you can afford to build a large dressing room. You can install a clothes dryer, lighting, and even hang a mirror inside. However, even in small room(even 2 sq. m. and 5 sq. m.) all this is possible, you just need to plan it correctly.

The advantage of a small room will be the ability to easily and quickly find any thing, because everything is always at hand. Cleaning is also not difficult, it will be quick and easy. Creating a home dressing room with your own hands is shown in the video below.

What types of dressing rooms are there:

Angular. Here you use the space of the room with maximum rationality and save a lot of space. To create this design, it will be sufficient to allocate a small space of up to 2 square meters. m in the corner of the room and carefully consider the location of the partitions. The material used is drywall, it is lightweight and leaves almost no dirt after installation. In this case, it is better to make the shelves open for economical use of space.
Linear. Such a dressing room, created with your own hands according to drawings and diagrams with photos, is most often installed along one wall and resembles an ordinary niche in appearance. To organize the entrance, you can use a screen or an accordion door. In this case, it is also recommended to do without partitions, as well as install retractable hangers, which will make access to clothes easier and more convenient.
Parallel. This type of wardrobe is installed along both walls parallel to each other. Most best option– these are walk-through rooms; you can use one partition for zoning. The desired width of the room is from 1.6 meters, this is necessary for free movement in the room. It is recommended to place racks with things at a distance of 80 cm from each other (opposite). For interior decoration, you can use end hangers, retractable structures, and chandeliers and floor lamps for lighting.
L-shaped. Such a dressing room can become an extension of the room, so it is not always necessary to use partitions.
U-shaped. This is a whole dressing room where you can fit anything you want. Here you can place closed cabinets or drawers, shelving, and separately installed sections. The area of the room can be filled in different ways using design techniques. The ideal room for such a dressing room should be elongated and slightly narrowed. Here you can equip a mezzanine using wide upper shelves or drawers where you can store rarely used items, travel bags and sports equipment.
Wardrobe-storage room. Such a dressing room, equipped with your own hands in a small room, is shown in the photo below. A closet can make a great place to store U-shaped items. In this case, the entrance area can be decorated with a screen, a sliding partition, or doors can be installed.
Bedroom zoning. This storage system is the most successful idea for organizing a dressing room. If your bedroom is large, you can easily create a U-shaped design and make the most of the space. Sometimes one room is made into two using a partition, then from the bedroom you can immediately get into your personal storage and quickly choose a casual outfit. Interesting solution Installing a dressing room at the head of the bed is considered. In this case, the space can be zoned with a screen or simply install a wardrobe.

Proper organization of lighting and ventilation systems

Most often, there is no window in the dressing room, and therefore no natural light. Therefore it is necessary to install additional sources artificial light, giving preference to the warm spectrum.

Types of dressing room lighting:

How to properly make a dressing room with your own hands at home, using photos and drawings, is shown in the video below.

The ventilation and ventilation system should also be well organized and thought out in the dressing room:

Rules for organizing storage of things, basic provisions

The storage of clothes and shoes, accessories and jewelry must be thought out taking into account individual capabilities and needs. There is no point in thinking about a young couple planning frequent moves. A set of cabinets may be enough. Difficulties arise when allocating a separate room is simply impossible.

To find a suitable cabinet, after compiling a list of personal requirements, you can find a specialized store on the Internet. This article examines in detail the creative process of implementing unique projects using serial components.

Below are the basic rules and important nuances that must be taken into account for a quality organization:

You can install a dressing room with your own hands in a separate room, or allocate a part of the passage, room, etc. for this purpose.
The corresponding volume must be used to the maximum extent possible. The structures are installed from floor to ceiling.
It is necessary to leave passages sufficient for convenient use.
For each type of item, suitable storage spaces are created, taking into account size, weight, and storage requirements.
Provide conditions suitable for fitting: free space, .
Visible parts are created with improved aesthetic characteristics.

For your information! The cost is assessed taking into account the initial investment, the expected service life, the cost of installing furniture components, construction and finishing work.

Preparation of design documentation for a dressing room: layout with dimensions, drawings

This figure shows the dimensions of the dressing room and the parameters of individual elements. The author of the project was able to organize storage spaces in the corners. He installed hanger rails at different heights to accommodate long coats and short jackets. Even without a thorough study of the market, it is clear that such a structure can be assembled from standard boxes and other inexpensive standard components.

However, there is not enough data for a full-fledged project:

Absent entrance group. Meanwhile, the usual one will be expensive. The relevant parts need to be carefully thought out.
Information about finishing must be added to the documentation. Here, for example, the back walls of the furniture are not provided. Therefore, the side planes of the room must be covered with a layer of washable or other non-staining material that is resistant to mechanical stress.
There is no artificial scheme. When equipped with an ironing board, a 220V power supply will be required.

The project should be considered in its entirety so as not to miss truly important nuances. Once a photo of a suitable do-it-yourself dressing room has been found, drawings and diagrams can be entrusted to professionals to prepare. They know the range of components well. They have specialized software for creating three-dimensional layouts that are convenient for carefully examining objects from different angles. Of course, the corresponding services are provided free of charge only when purchasing components from the appropriate store.

A well-prepared project should have the following components:

A drawing of a structure installed in a specific location in an apartment (house).
List with sizes, prices and other parameters of individual parts.
Data on electrical wiring, general construction and finishing works.

At a certain point, all this no longer fits into a traditional wardrobe. A logical question arises: isn’t it necessary? Layout with dimensions, types of wardrobes, lighting features and many other nuances are in this material.

What kind of dressing room can be installed with your own hands: drawings and diagrams, photos of typical designs

For preparation, a preliminary study of well-established engineering solutions will be useful. Please note that the dressing room in can be supplemented with a structure similar in purpose in,. It is permissible to use various combinations and create unique modifications taking into account the architectural features of a particular property.

Corner dressing rooms in the hallway

It should be noted that at the entrance to a residential property, increased attention should be paid to the appearance of the interior. The sliding door system has the necessary functionality and aesthetic characteristics. To avoid loading wet things into a closed volume, it is recommended to install it nearby. To remove moisture, use carefully so as not to dry out genuine leather shoes.

The last project is suitable for equipping a relatively small hallway. By removing the partition, the passage and free space are increased. It will be useful for trying on. To simplify this mandatory procedure, the door is often installed with overhead lighting.

Linear type of dressing rooms and cabinets

Such solutions are used when equipping niches, for installing several functional parts between columns. If necessary, the facade is covered with sliding doors.

Parallel type

The same solution is used in wide aisles. To create the impression of greater volume, use light colors for decoration. In rooms without windows, they are especially carefully designed.

DIY built-in wardrobe parts can be perfectly combined with architectural elements. With accurate calculation and high-quality installation, it will visually level the flat surfaces of the room. Typical furniture, with right angles on the contrary, highlights the slightest irregularities.

L-shaped

The picture shows an example with a protruding column that had to be covered with panels. In the standard version, the recess is used for its intended purpose. Since access to the far part is difficult, rarely used items are placed there

U-shaped

Please note that there are no wide gaps. Unlike standard cabinets, here architectural parts are used as separate walls. A do-it-yourself dressing room can be precisely built into a room of complex shape. During operation, displacement is excluded. It is permissible to use significant loads (with the correct calculation of supports and shelves).

For objectivity, it is necessary to note the disadvantages of built-in structures:

They are designed for stationary use in a specific location. Dismantling and transferring to another facility is difficult or completely impractical.
The ideal connection of all components and the room is achieved by experienced specialists. Creating a high-quality dressing room with your own hands will cause certain difficulties.
Fixing structural elements spoils the walls in the room. This point is not too important, since stationary long-term operation is assumed.

Dressing room in the bedroom

Using such a layout, you can study the design from different points, check the width of the passages, and make sure there are no obstacles when the doors are open.

Such solutions are quite suitable for a private room. This option offers the following advantages:

quick search for things;
free access;
good ventilation;
affordable cost of components;
easy installation.

For your information! Such parts, unlike built-in furniture, can be moved around the room and transferred to other places without unnecessary difficulties.

This project does not provide for construction or special finishing work at all.

Construction of a dressing room from a storage room in a Khrushchev building

Below are comments that will be useful when clarifying the design parameters for a small dressing room:

The top shelf (1) may not be needed if boxes are to be placed on the bottom shelf.
This support (2) must be designed to withstand future loads. If things weigh a lot, it is necessary to install reinforced cantilever fastening elements.
To lift heavy objects to great heights (3), you can use a microlift, but this will complicate the design.
It's easier and cheaper to use a stepladder. It, skis, fishing rods, and other long objects are placed in a special wide slot (4).
The dimensions of this place (5) are established taking into account the dimensions of certain equipment.

Requirements for individual parts of the structure

There is no need to make the floor in the dressing room with your own hands if there is supposed to be a full-fledged fitting area. Sharp heels will quickly damage something that is not strong enough flooring. It is better to choose an option that is more resistant to mechanical stress. You should not select too bright types of decorative finishes in order to minimize the distorting external influence. This approach will simplify the formation of a harmonious image during the selection of individual components of the outfit. The suitable surface should not be slippery. In some situations, installation of the system will be useful.

In the same way, taking into account functionality, convenience and future use, other components of the do-it-yourself dressing room project are chosen.

Features of the power frame

The supporting parts of the structure are made from different materials, with various types finishing. This table shows the distinctive parameters of popular options:

Material/Finish	Advantages	Flaws
Powder coated steel	High strength, variety of colors.	High dead weight, formation of rust streaks due to improper installation/operation in conditions of high humidity.
Nickel plated steel	Impeccable appearance.	Poor or complete inconsistency with classical design trends, high price.
Aluminum	Lightweight, resistant to corrosion processes.	Lower load capacity compared to steel.
Chipboard and fibreboard with veneer	Excellent aesthetic characteristics at a reasonable cost.	Some manufacturers use outdated technologies. Their products contain ingredients that are unsafe for health and worsen the indoor atmosphere.
Chipboard and fibreboard with lamination	Low price, magnificent appearance, resistance to changes in humidity and temperature.	“Cons” – as in the previous paragraph. The variety and high quality of designs is not provided in all products.
Natural wood	Unique aesthetic parameters.	Products made from natural wood are damaged by changes in temperature and humidity. They are more expensive than artificial analogues.
Polymers	Lightness, variety of colors and shapes, resistance to high humidity.	Limited strength.
Glass	Durability, ease of removal of dirt, impeccable appearance.	Good visibility of dust and minor defects. Fragility.

The definition with suitable details is determined by a complex of factors and a specific purpose. So, to ensure transparency, glass and plastic parts are installed in prominent places. Inside there are lattice structures.

Choosing doors for a dressing room

It's easiest if there's enough space. The use of a standard canvas with a swing system does not need to be considered in detail. Below are other engineering solutions with comments about the advantages, features and disadvantages.

Storage systems in the dressing room

Product	Depth/Width, cm	Notes
Built-in furniture	45-90/-	A design that is too deep is not necessary so as not to complicate access to distant areas.
	30-40/-	Separate places should be allocated for storing children's and adult shoes, boots with long tops.
Hangers	50-70/-	If the depth is shallow, unfold the hangers parallel to the door and install retractable structures.
Shelves for linen	40-65/80-100	Dimensions can be specified taking into account the parameters of the kits.

Hooks, rods, and shelves are inserted into such surfaces. If necessary, you can quickly change the location, remove unnecessary ones and add the necessary functional elements in the dressing room with your own hands.

They are rigidly attached to the wall with a fixed width distance. However, the shelves can be installed at different levels as needed. Any user can quickly perform the corresponding transformation without the use of additional fasteners.

Cantilever mounts (1) provide versatility and easy access. Floor-supported structures (2) are highly durable. They are designed for storing heavy items. Mobile modules (3) are equipped with wheels.

Design projects for dressing rooms, photos with comments

If a lot of things have accumulated in the apartment, and attempts to organize them lead nowhere, then you simply need a dressing room. The advantages of a dressing room are that it is hidden from view and unnoticeable, which means that an atmosphere of neatness is created in the apartment. A storage room will make it possible to remove even a bulky closet and put in its place, for example, large aquarium or create a pleasant corner for relaxation.

Designing a dressing room is not difficult. And the market building materials and other accessories is simply replete with offers for every taste and imagination.

Don't think that there should be a dressing room large room, this is wrong. The advantage of a large room is that you can put a dressing table there, hang mirrors and even install an ironing board with a clothes dryer.

Corner dressing room: drawings, diagrams and photos

The first step in creating a walk-in closet is planning. The corner format of the dressing room allows you to move away from the ideal of 4 m2 and use less space. Even a size one and a half by one and a half will look perfect in this arrangement. The peculiarity of such a dressing room is that the partition is installed in such a way that the corner of the room is cut off. The result is compactness. With minimal space, a full-fledged corner dressing room with the most useful functionality is organized.

Use drywall as partition material:

It is easy to use at home even for non-professionals.
After installation, there will be no debris left, and the ease of contraction allows you to dismantle it at any time if necessary.
This overlap puts minimal load on all surfaces.
Drywall is easy to decorate.

You can arrange drawers and shelves in different ways, but it would be preferable to distribute them along both walls of the dressing room. Using only one wall does not provide the most efficient room. When renovating, use special corner design elements.

An unusual look will make it possible to use a small space as usefully as possible.

The connecting element between the shelves in the form of a spiral will smooth out the corners, and therefore visually expand the space. And it won’t be a bad design highlight. It is better to give preference to open shelves rather than closed cabinets. This design will not only make it easier to access things, but also free up some space. Entrance door choose with limited space in mind. Preference should be given to an accordion door. Since it saves space for opening. You can open such a door with one movement; the door leaf will not interfere with you picking up things and trying them on.

Wardrobe room layouts: linear design

This location of the dressing room is convenient to use near the wall. It is very easy to arrange such a dressing room; there will be no sloping corners, which will make it easier to arrange furniture in the room. It is easy to distribute drawers and shelves in a room of this type. For example, install retractable clothes hangers. With one movement of your hand, all your clothes will appear to you.

In a linear type dressing room it is easy to distribute all the clothes, but such an arrangement is unlikely to allow you to comfortably install an ironing board or clothes dryer in a small area.

Design nuances:

The optimal depth is considered to be one and a half meters, but it is not worth narrowing the space with partitions.
If the size of the apartment allows it, then the narrow room will not be comfortable to use, and there will not be much free space in such a room.

If the size of the room allows, install regular cabinets with doors in the dressing room, but open shelving and shelves will save space.

L- and U-shaped design: drawings of dressing rooms with dimensions

The L-shaped layout makes it clear that the dressing room becomes part of the room. The specificity is that there is no need for partitions. As a rule, it is recommended to install only open shelving, since the issue of space ergonomics is acute. The scheme provides for the complete absence of partitions. And it turns out that such a layout is the most economical, because in order to erect a partition, material costs are required for materials. Another convenient option is the U-shaped layout. The opinion is that a dressing room of this shape is only relevant for a large room. Wrong.

You can make your hallway beautiful and modern yourself if you choose the right design. Look at the design options for hallways on our website:

This is easy to see from the drawings and diagrams:

This layout is highly practical and has a very interesting character.
The unusual nature of this layout can be emphasized with interesting interior details.
Equip your dressing room with a furniture set. You will receive the maximum necessary set of furniture for various forms of storage.
There are closed drawers here, for example for small items, gloves and other accessories.
Unscrew the shelves to store shoe boxes and, of course, hangers, for convenient placement of daily necessary items.

The color scheme of the room in light colors and its shape together create a very simple, comfortable and attractive dressing room. Use this layout in long and narrow rooms. Such a room turns out to be independent and separated from the rest of the space. Increasing the size of the upper shelves will increase the usable area. Expanding the upper shelves will allow you to place more things.

Dressing room drawing with dimensions: parallel type

Creating a parallel-plan wardrobe with your own hands is not difficult. A project of this form is very popular, because its implementation requires only partitions and a divided furniture set.

Adviсe:

Apply this layout in a walk-through room.
When you equip a dressing room in a remote room, it is better to plan it in a different form.
In order not to have problems moving from one wall to another, make the width at least one and a half meters. Thus, it turns out that the distance between the racks should be at least 80 cm. This distance will allow you not to experience discomfort when using the dressing room.

The most ergonomic option would be end hangers. This option will be the most practical and compact. Also, a set with drawers will fit successfully into such a dressing room.
