How to design a dressing room

Separate dressing room in the apartment for the last decades has become for many of pink dreams into ordinary reality. But not enough to allocate a separate room or part of it under the closet. Need ergonomic and maximally useful to be able to use the space.

The perfect dressing room

The interior designers have their professional opinion on what should be the ideal dressing room. First, the location of the premises. For men – near the office for women outside of the bedroom. It is desirable that the dressing room was a separate bathroom or hallway. It is very convenient, but unlikely option for the average person. Usually dressing in the apartment there is one and it is a fenced off part of a bedroom or hallway.

The second great requirement is to have Windows and a fairly large space. The Vedas dressing room is that room where you have to select outfits and get dressed and put on makeup and style the hair. Therefore, in the dressing room in addition to cabinets and shelves can be a dressing table and large mirror, good natural and artificial lighting. Enough space and lack of clutter of things and wardrobes. Designers believe that the area of a dressing room must be at least 6-8 sq. m. And this is just the bare minimum. In reality many people manage quite well to place a wardrobe and 3-5 sq. m.

In addition to these amenities in the dressing room assumes the existence of an Ironing Board and a small ladder in order to make it easy to reach top shelves and mezzanines.

So I see the perfect dressing area interior designers. In real life it is not always possible to meet these high standards. And the main task remains the most convenient and compact to accommodate in a small room with considerable wardrobe of the whole family.

The dressing room project

First draw a plan of the dressing room with accurate dimensions on paper. Second, determine for yourself what you want to store in the closet. Especially if its area is small. This will depend on the size, number and location of the cabinets, equipment. Calculate the distance between the shelves, so you do not end up in the trap of too tight space.

We carefully consider all sections of the wardrobe Department for shoes, shelves for sweaters and sweaters, dress section, and departments for storage of outerwear, mezzanine. Take the bottom shelf for shoes. On the upper shelves and the shelves can store extra blankets, pillows, suitcases. All the things you use once or twice a year. On one wall can accommodate all the clothes on store hangers. Short things (skirts, sweaters, shirts) can be placed in two tiers. On the other wall section for things that you keep folded.

Do not forget about the storage compartment appliances – clamshell (if any), clothes dryers, brushes, mops, buckets, vacuum cleaner, iron and Ironing Board.

Pay attention when drafting the details. You should carefully calculate the parameters of all the shelves and partitions. Because then you'll have to order individually, or choose a ready-made sections for the wardrobes in the shop, most suitable for your sizes.

Lighting is one of the most important moments in the project closet. After all, look in the shadows right thing is not interesting. So it's best to do multiple light sources - a bright main ceiling and the additional illumination of shelves with led or spot lighting.
