Design

Since standard dressing rooms are focused on large dimensions, there are not very many ideas for arranging small dressing rooms. However, with proper ingenuity, you can find interesting options.

The easiest and fastest way of arranging for a very small room is a mobile hanger, which will serve as a dressing room. Under the hanger you can knead the shoes, and hang the bags on the sides. This is a good option for those who have few things.

  • If the apartment has a niche, you can use it to house a built-in wardrobe. The passage can be closed with curtains or sliding doors.
  • If there is very little space, let it be open, but with lots of shelves, lockable drawers, hangers and shelving. To make everything look harmonious, install an ottoman or a small chair, hang a mirror.
  • Equipping a dressing room in a small bedroom, place it behind the headboard. Several brackets and shelves are suitable for placing clothes that are in constant wear.

Remember that the design of the dressing room should match the design of the room. In order not to overload the space, give preference to stylish minimalism.

Storage systems

You need to start by choosing the right storage system, which is divided into three types - metal frame, mesh and modular wooden.

Aluminum (metalframe) systems are very popular. They represent the frame of the profile, complete with a set of additional elements and various accessories. They are already ready - a few standard options from well-known manufacturers, and are made to order - according to individual drawings and the wishes of the customer.

In such a wardrobe system there are no doors, partitions and side walls. But the frame itself may have a different content - shelves, cargo, bars, baskets and much more.

The mesh system is necessarily attached to the wall, more precisely, the horizontal bar with vertical guides is fastened first. Directly on it are already fixed shelves, racks and mesh baskets.

Another popular option is a modular system. Its disadvantage is that it is made of wood or chipboard, so its size must be thought out in advance, because it will not work to change it. But it is durable, reliable, has a classic appearance and accommodates many things.

You can buy a ready-made modular system or make an order.

Ventilation and light

Properly selected light in the dressing room is very important, so the choice of lighting should be approached responsibly. Since there is so little space, it is worth refusing to mounted ceiling lights, which take up a lot of space and do not provide enough lighting. Give preference to spotlights that can be built into wardrobes - they will create excellent illumination.

Another good solution - the lamps in the floor, located on the line of furniture.

The organization of good ventilation is also important - it will allow to avoid the formation of moisture, mold and the appearance of insects that love warm and humid places. It is good if you equip a separate ventilation system, although this is quite an expensive pleasure that not everyone can afford.The budget option is an exhaust fan (such devices are often installed in bathrooms).

The most optimal solution is to install an air-conditioning system with an anti-bacterial filter. They will clear the air and remove any unpleasant odors, so clothes will always smell nice and fresh.

Interior design

Doors - an important element of a small dressing room, they do not take up much space. It is better to give preference to folding doors, which are the most compact. Another option - coupe doors that look very aesthetically pleasing. Their only drawback - they are extremely difficult to install.

Both options - quite expensive, if your budget is limited, instead of the door, you can use roller blinds, shutters or just a decorative partition.

One of the advantages of a dressing room in front of the closet is that the interior space is fully used, from ceiling to floor. The brackets are located at a height of about one and a half meters so that the clothes do not drag across the floor, but they can be easily reached. Under them are usually placed shelves for storing shoes. It can also be a low wide chest of drawers with lots of drawers.They can store not only shoes, but also clothes that do not correspond to the current season.

Top will be shelves on which you can keep blankets, blankets, bedding, suitcases and other voluminous things that are rarely in everyday life.

In a small dressing room, where there is no extra space to hang all the clothes on the hanger, you can install a multi-level shelving. It will allow you to place a maximum of things when folded, while the interior will look stylish and neat.

When planning the interior arrangement, do not forget about the closing drawers in which you can store gloves, hats, scarves, socks, underwear, and so on. Equipping a small dressing room, it is better to give preference not to sliding, and rolling out the boxes. Their advantage is that the things that they store are always visible, so finding one or the other is not difficult.

Of course, for linen it is better to install several closed boxes. To save space, it needs to be laid out vertically, twisted into small tubes. Use a special separator-organizer, which will keep all the laundry in order.

Hooks are also indispensable for arranging a small dressing room, since they occupy a minimum of space, because they are simply attached to the wall, and you can hang anything on them - from pajamas to a bag or outerwear. If your wardrobe has a lot of classic trousers with arrows, they require special storage. Install a special crossbar for them where they will keep their shape well.

It is advisable to purchase identical shoe boxes that will match the color of the dressing room in color.

In order not to open each box in search of the desired pair, they can be beautifully signed.

You can store different things - sunglasses, hair accessories and jewelry, can be in special covers, pockets, or place them on a special rack with lots of hooks and lockable glass doors.
