Making a dressing room on your own requires the advance preparation of various materials and tools used during this work. At this stage, you should use the information calculated, obtained as a result of design.

Necessarily prepared elements:

• rack and guide profiles, designed to create the skeleton of the future wall, and their thickness should not be significant, since the partitions that are significant in thickness take up too much space, which is not suitable for limited space;
• gypsum board used in the process of cladding partitions, and it is desirable that its thickness varies from 12 to 15 mm, and it is also recommended to use a moisture-resistant material;
• to increase soundproofing parameters, it is recommended to fill the frame space with some suitable material, and mineral wool is considered to be an excellent solution for these purposes;

Pencil case

Often in this room arrange a special pencil case. It is a narrow and long cabinet designed to store different clothes or other things not too big. Often, it is additionally equipped with a special hanger in the form of a frame that extends from the side. The number of shelves in such a pencil case can be different, but it is determined depending on the number of people living in residential real estate.

Finish

When learning how to make dressing rooms in rooms, you need to decide on the finishing materials. Drywall is most often chosen as a covering, and various objects and elements can be fixed on structures made from it. After creating the frame and fixing the cladding, puttying and wall decoration are carried out. To carry out the work correctly and competently, you must follow a certain sequence of actions:

• sheets of drywall are fixed to the made frames;
• if necessary, they are cut and bent in various ways;
• puttying of the structure using self-adhesive tape is carried out, and it prevents the occurrence of cracks;
• it is desirable to apply the material in two layers at once;
• a special reinforcing primer is applied, which reduces the absorption of the substrate, as well as increasing the adhesion of the paint;
• the surfaces of the resulting structure are painted, and it is also allowed to use other materials for cladding, for example, wall panels.

Thus, if you carefully study the structure of the dressing room with your own hands, this process will not take much time and will not require investing a significant amount of money. With independent work, it is possible to obtain a truly unique design, ideally suited for a particular room and its style.

Lighting and ventilation

Another important point is the creation of high-quality ventilation and lighting in the dressing room. Most often, it is a windowless room, so it is impossible to naturally renew the air and the flow of sunlight. Therefore, in the process of finishing this room features are taken into account:

• under the door of the dressing room there will certainly be left a sufficiently large gap through which fresh air will enter the room;
• in the process of building partitions, special technological gaps are sure to be left;
• small skylights may be created above the skirting boards in the walls;
• if the work is carried out in a private house, it is recommended to completely make a ventilation hole on the floor, covered by a strong and fine-mesh grille.

Lighting in a dark room should be of high quality and optimal. Therefore, it is advisable to use not only a common lamp mounted on the ceiling, but also additional lighting. To increase the comfort and speed of being on the shelves of different objects, it is recommended to attach LED backlighting, presented in the form of ribbons, to them.

Drawings and schemes

If you create a dressing room with your own hands, then you need drawings and diagrams, according to which the main work will be carried out. In these documents, the main points are certainly considered:

• room size;
• location of all elements contained here;
• the need, dimensions and other parameters of the doors are taken into account;
• calculation of finishing materials and fixtures;
• the use of various retractable structures;
• calculates all the costs necessary to obtain a full and comfortable room;
• thought out in advance the layout.

The drawing will certainly be created previously on paper, and when it is studied, it will be shown schematically how the room will look after the work done. If there is no experience with drawings, then you can use special programs.

Thus, the dressing room is a useful, multi-functional room designed to store various items, clothes. To understand how to make a dressing room with your own hands, it is recommended that you carefully study the training video in advance to take into account the numerous nuances and features of this work.
