How to arrange a dressing room - planning and design of a dressing room (+ photos)

A dressing room in an apartment is a great convenience, but, unfortunately, desires do not always coincide with our capabilities. In some apartments the dressing room is provided for by the project, in others it will have to allocate useful space and think how to arrange the dressing room so that it is as comfortable and presentable as possible.

The optimal size of the dressing room

So let's define where your apartment will have a dressing room and how to correctly determine its dimensions. What are the criteria to do this? As you know, the dressing room is designed not only for storing things, but also so that at any moment these things can be put on. And this means that, firstly, a large amount of clothing should hang on hangers, and secondly, a significant part of it should be visible.

This is what can be stored in the dressing room

In the classic dressing room are stored:

• casual wear,
• seasonal clothes,
• underwear,
• socks,
• shoes,
• bags,
• handkerchiefs,
• accessories and jewelery.

In general, all things used in daily wear. In addition, in the dressing room, which is located in the apartment, often find their place large household supplies and household appliances, such as a vacuum cleaner, ironing board and so on.

The area of ​​the dressing room should ideally be 10-12 m ² for each person living in the apartment, and a large number of open shelves should be a feature of its arrangement. Agree, such dressing rooms can not afford all. Not only is it an area of ​​a standard living room, it is also often necessary to do cleaning in them, which takes a lot of time. Owners with good incomes usually entrust this work to a housekeeper.

A small wardrobe

It is clear that in a regular apartment the wardrobe room will be much smaller. But, nevertheless, let's decide on the size. It would be nice to allocate ² for the dressing room at least 3-5 meters and leave a small space free so that you can change your clothes comfortably. It is advisable to make a fairly spacious entrance to the dressing room. Its width should be at least 1 m. Doors are best to choose a coupe to save space and a dressing room, and an adjoining room.

Sizes of compartments and storage boxes

It is important that the main elements of the dressing room are made so that it will be used, it was comfortable:

• a shoe rack should be on average 40 cm deep and 50 cm from the floor level;
• the clothes bar should be set at an average height of 170-190 cm;
• additional shelf is located at a height of +10 cm from the height of the location of the rod.

Another example of the layout of the dressing room

The height of the bar and upper shelf may vary depending on human growth.

For ease of use, the shoe rack must be positioned in one row perpendicular to the wall.

It is desirable that there is ventilation in the dressing room.

Knowledgeable people are advised to choose built-in furniture in the walk-in closet, rather than stand-alone wardrobes. The advantage of such furniture is that dust does not accumulate in the gaps between the cabinets, and the design itself can be securely fastened to the wall.

If you find it difficult to calculate all the necessary parameters and determine with the wardrobe system, then invite a designer who will make the project according to your wishes.

Methods of organizing space in the dressing room

The placement of cabinets in the dressing room can be one-sided, two-sided and three-sided.

Wardrobe with one wall

One-sided layout is preferred in very small walk-in closets where the cabinet is located along the most long wall.

A dressing room occupying two walls

The arrangement on two sides is convenient for the corner dressing room or in the dressing room medium sizes.

Spacious walk-in closet with three walls

And finally, the three walls of the cupboards the owners can afford large dressing rooms. Of course, this option will allow to accommodate a much larger number of things, but it is not suitable for everyone.

In ordinary apartments, spacious walk-in closets are not provided and there is often no place to organize them, which means you have to find places to store things and organize single-tier, two-tier and more storage, depending on the height of the ceilings.

A single-tier walk-in closet is an ordinary bar for hangers, at a height of about 1.5-1.7 meters from the floor. In fact, it is a little more spacious wardrobe. But this arrangement wardrobe unprofitable.

For storing short items on the hangers it is convenient to place two rods one above the other

The two-tier layout is much more convenient . She comes in two versions. The first option is when two tiers are occupied with clothes. The first tier is designed for long clothes, the second - for short. The second option is much more interesting and practical. Shoes are stored on the lower tier, and clothing is on the top. The upper bar is at a height of 2 m, which is very convenient to use, the lower one is 1 m.

One of the most convenient layouts is considered to be a three-tier layout. Lower tier for shoes, medium for clothes, on top of the extra space.
