In one of the best films about love and fashion "Sex and the City", it was suggested that a small wardrobe room is a good enough reason to get a divorce.

For residents of the Soviet space to allocate a whole room as a dressing room was not typical, because before people were happy about a separate corner behind a screen in a communal apartment and every square meter was on the account. But today the situation with living space in the post-Soviet space is not so deplorable, and therefore apartments and houses are beginning to absorb the comfortable and useful achievements of the Western world. In particular - the tradition of arranging a separate dressing room.

A dressing room is a storage room for clothes and shoes. Its main advantages are as follows:

• Things are always in order.
• Plenty of storage space.
• All things are in sight (do not have to search through the cabinet in search of something).
• Clothes and shoes are hidden from prying eyes.
• It takes a little (in comparison with the closed wardrobe) space.
• For organization, you can use unused space (for example, in the house under the stairs).
• Perfectly masked all the flaws of the walls (irregularities, roughness, ugly projections).

The wardrobe room is a real paradise not only for women, but also for men.

Types of wardrobe rooms

Wardrobe rooms are of two main types:

• Open
• Closed

Consider each of the types in more detail.

Open dressing room

Open dressing room предполагает, что пространство для хранения вещей не отделяется перегородками или дверьми, а является продолжением интерьера.

The advantages of an open dressing room:

• All things in sight and at hand
• Conveniently equip in small apartments
• The space of the room visually remains spacious.

Disadvantages of an open dressing room:

• All things in sight, including your guests.
• Things need to be kept in perfect order to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the room.

Closed wardrobe room

Closed wardrobe room is located in a separate room or niche, which is fenced off by a screen or compartment doors.

Advantages of a closed dressing room:

• The total space of the apartment is not littered with things, clothes, clothes, accessories.
• If there is no opportunity or time to restore order - none of the guests will notice because of the doors.
• In a large and spacious dressing room you can allocate storage space for absolutely all family members, no matter how huge it is.
• A lot of storage space, which can be arranged as ergonomically as possible.
• Trying on clothes, putting them in order, ironing, can be gathered at any time of the day, without disturbing the household (which is especially important if there is a small child in the house).

If you equip a large mirror or dressing table in the dressing room, the dressing room will serve not only as a storage place, but as a full-fledged dressing room.

Disadvantages of a closed dressing room:

• Location is required.
• Additional lighting required
• The living room, which has a closed walk-in closet, becomes less visually and functionally.

Wardrobe layout

Although the dressing room is a strictly personal space and how to organize it is up to you and only you, but there are several basic layouts of wardrobe systems:

• Corner
• Linear
• U-shaped
• Parallel

Corner

Suitable for any type of room, most often open. For its organization, it is convenient to use open shelving or open shelves, as well as so-called cellular baskets (for example, from Ikea), which are suitable for storing medium-sized things (T-shirts, sweaters).

The corner layout of the dressing room is convenient to use if it settles not for one, but for two people. In this case, the dressing room can be divided into two parts along the corner, but at the same time it will be, firstly, compact enough, and, secondly, both owners of things will be able to dress practically without interfering with each other.

Linear

This is the easiest way to organize a wardrobe system. Such a dressing room can be both open and closed (in this case, it would rather resemble a huge wardrobe in the entire wall). To organize such a dressing room is enough to allocate one wall under it.

From the point of view of space saving, the most economical way to organize a linear dressing room is this: select the lower part of the wall (approximately 2/5) to accommodate dressers with drawers and open shelves for shoes, and leave the upper for hangers.

U-shaped

This version of the dressing room layout is suitable for an open dressing room in a niche or a closed dressing room in a separate room. In such a room for storage, you can use a variety of pieces of furniture, including pryvuchnitsy, tievnitsy and other.

For the U-shaped dressing room, wherever it is located, additional lighting is needed, because otherwise you simply cannot find anything in the dark.

Parallel

Put two wardrobe systems opposite each other - and voila! You already have a dressing room with a linear layout! If the systems duplicate each other completely or almost completely, you will get an excellent space for storing two people (for example, children). However, remember that for your own comfort, cabinets with hinged doors should be located at a distance from each other not less than the width of the door / length of the fully opened drawer, plus another fifty centimeters for you. Otherwise you will not be able to normally use the dressing room.

If a very large room is divided in the center of the dressing room with an entrance from two sides, you get three small and cozy rooms, one of which is a dressing room.

Where to equip a dressing room?

In a private house

In a private house, creating its design project, you can specifically provide a dressing room. It is best of all if she is in the immediate vicinity of the master bedroom or, if the family is large, in a place where any family member can easily get into it (without disturbing others!).

If a special room is not provided, then the dressing room can be placed:

• Under the stairs
• In the wide corridor
• Behind the bed
• In the attic

In the apartment

The likelihood that in your apartment (especially in Khrushchev) there is a separate dressing room even less than in a private house. Therefore, if the footage of the apartment is not enough, and the dressing room is very desirable, you should think about its location:

• In the pantry
• In a niche
• In the fenced part of the room

Dressing room decoration

Materials

Dressing room should be functional. As a rule, in the wardrobe systems, the modules are made of wood. A more budgetary option could be the implementation of cabinets and drawers of chipboard or MDF.

Swing doors can be made of Plexiglas. In this case, you will always see what is in a particular box.

Cell exhaust baskets are best to choose from plastic: it is light, unpretentious to care and has a nice appearance.

Holders for hangers are better to choose metal ones, they are reliable and their appearance will not deteriorate due to constant scratching by the hangers.

The wardrobe room of the small sizes is better to furnish with furniture of light shades.

Lighting

If in your dressing room there are no windows (and, accordingly, natural lighting), then you definitely need to carry there an electrician.

You can limit the upper chandelier, but it would be better to stop the local lighting above each module of the wardrobe system.

Another option that is relevant for open walk-in closets is to install a huge light panel behind the hangers that will illuminate your clothes from the inside (see photo below).

When you make the lighting in the dressing room, do not skimp on the lamps: only modern LED lamps will save your home from the ignition of clothing from overheating under the lamp!

General style

If your dressing room is of an open type and is a continuation of the interior of one of the rooms, then the choice of style is, in general, not worth it - the dressing room should be done in the same style as the main room.

If the dressing room is separated from the living room with a screen, doors, or even a separate space, then there is already room for a flight of fancy.

One of the charms of a separate dressing room is that it does not need to be shown to anyone. Therefore, you can equip it focusing on practicality and functionality, and not on fashion, pretentiousness and extravagant style to the delight of guests. That is why experts recommend making out a wardrobe room in the styles of loft, minimalism or classic. Although, of course, if the soul requires a decoration in the style of art deco or shebbi-chic - you and cards in your hands!

Filling for wardrobes and walk-in closets

For clothing placement

Dresses, blouses, jackets are convenient to store on hangers, therefore, in the dressing room there must be horizontal bars on which all this can be hung. They can be open or in cabinets.

Trousers can also be hanged on hangers, but it is more convenient to use a special breeder for this.

T-shirts, underwear, sweaters, socks are best kept in drawers.

For shoes and bags are perfect open bottom shelves.

Scarves, hats, gloves, hats are conveniently located in the upper part of the dressing room, on shelves with hinged doors or in cellular baskets.

Accessory can be equipped with special drawers with suitable supports. If you make a dresser for accessories to order, then such boxes should not be high, so that all accessories can be placed in one row.

Furniture

In the dressing room, whether it is closed or open, it is imperative to place a large mirror. This will facilitate your choice of clothes, because otherwise you will have to wear each set for fitting from room to room. Yes, and accessories with obovyu in front of the mirror will be much easier to pick up.

For comfort, experts recommend placing a pair of ottomans or a small bench in the dressing room.

Be sure to in the dressing room should be a horizontal surface on which to put something. This can be a table or a low chest of drawers that perform the role of the table.
