Design features
In recent years, the presence of a separate dressing room in a private house will not surprise anyone. This is a great way to provide your clothing with rational storage, characterized by a huge list of advantages. Among them, high functionality, comfort, durability and so on. But what if the apartment has a meager area and there is no way to organize a spacious dressing room here? In such a situation, a mini dressing room in the bedroom will be an excellent solution.Photo of such structures in the interior allows you to understand how attractive it may look.
As practice shows, a mini dressing room distinguishes the following features:
- comfort, practicality - provide a person with a quick search for clothes or shoes;
- high level of mobility - if desired, the system can be moved to another room without additional difficulties or dirty work;
- easy and quick installation, dismantling - you can assemble and disassemble the structure in a matter of time and without special equipment;
- minimum size, compactness - these qualities allow you to install a similar design even in a tiny bedroom, living room or even a corridor;
- concise design, the ability to fit into the interior of any style.
Kinds
The dressing room in the small bedroom is divided into two types, depending on the presence or absence of doors. Each of the structures has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Open
Open dressing rooms are not equipped with doors, so they are great for small rooms. They look quite unusual, because all the things stored here remain visible. However, such designs make it possible to provide clothes on hangers with optimal wound conditions. Also note that in the case of an open type design, it takes less time to search for a particular thing, because all the clothes remain in sight. It is especially good to divide the open wardrobe into the female and male zones if a married couple lives in the apartment. Then the level of comfort of the system will increase several times.
The mirror for such a dressing room must be selected on the counter, as there is no suitable place for its fastening. It is better to prefer a model on wheels, if necessary, with ease, move it from place to place.
The original solution is a mini version of aluminum profiles, nets and painted drywall partitions. These are concise models that look incredibly modern, cost mere pennies and can be installed with your own hands.
Closed
If the volume of the wardrobe is really huge, and you need to fit all things in a small space, it is better to organize a closed wardrobe. Under such conditions, you can not be afraid of the untidy look of the bedroom, and the door itself at the entrance can be used as an original design accent of the entire interior.
A closed dressing room in a bedroom can have standard blind doors, carved partition doors, sliding doors or even a completely translucent screen, a light curtain. Here a lot depends on the preferences of the owner of the apartment and his ideas about the comfort and beauty of the dressing room.But experienced interior designers will tell you that blind doors are the best option for a small space, because from the back you can hang a large mirror. Trying on outfits, both a woman and a man will look at him. And there is simply no room for a separate rack with a mirror over a few square meters of a mini-sized dressing room.
Where to place
Wardrobe in the bedroom is a classic option, because when waking up, a person needs to get dressed, and before going to bed - to change into home clothes. If the bedroom is elongated, you can install a mini dressing room with doors at the end of the room. This will allow not only to adjust the proportions and shape of the room, bringing comfort and beauty into it, but also to allocate space for your clothes and shoes. Also, an excellent solution would be to install such a design in an existing niche in the bedroom.
The dressing room in the hallway can be quite convenient to use, if the room is spacious. And often the layout of apartments in high-rise buildings for some reason does not differ in rationality. There is often a niche either in the corridor itself, or unreasonably large, or has a blind spot. Such flaws with a smart approach can be converted into dignity by equipping a small wardrobe in a niche. At the same time, the design doors should be selected mirrored. This will visually expand the narrow space and make it more comfortable.
An interesting solution is to organize a mini dressing room on a glazed and insulated loggia. In many skyscrapers, this room has a fairly decent size - from 2 to 4 square meters, which is enough to install a small dressing room. Many readers will protest against such an idea, motivating their point of view with a huge amount of sunlight on the loggia in the summer. Do not worry about the quality and color of clothing, if you previously arrange blackout curtains on the window. And the things themselves on hangers should be placed along the walls on both sides of the window.
If we are talking about a private house, and not about an apartment, then you can mount a small dressing room in the attic. Often the attic is not suitable for arranging a full living room, and for the dressing room just right. The beveled part can be covered with a stretch ceiling, or you can leave it without finishing. It all depends on the preferences of the owners of the house. The only condition is the proper insulation of the attic.
It is also convenient to arrange a mini-sized dressing room under the stairs to the second floor of a two-story country cottage.
Layout methods
The determining factor in the planning is the size of the dressing room. The larger the room, the more diverse storage systems you can install here. For the minimum size of the dressing room, the flight of the designer’s imagination is significantly limited.Also, a small dressing room can be angular - this option is even more spacious than a rectangular one with a similar area: with an equal area, the length of the sides along which you can arrange shelves and storage systems will be larger.
The wardrobe in the bedroom can have a rectangular, square, triangular shape. Let us further describe the features of the layout of such a space.
| Design form | Space Planning Method |
| Rectangle | The reality is that for small-sized apartments of Khrushchev, often, you can organize only the most compact dressing room. It will have an area of 1.3-1.5 sq m and a rectangle with sides of approximately 1.5 to 1 m. Pipes with long clothes, shirts on hangers are placed on the sides of the rectangle, shoe racks are mounted on the bottom, mezzanines on the top for bags or pastel. Drawers with linen placed at the level of human hands. To install a rack with a mirror on such a small area will not work, so it is hung on the door. |
| Triangle | In addition to the small area, the uncomfortable shape of the dressing room is also added. Such a dressing room has only two walls as “workers”. Shelves, drawers, pipes with hangers are mounted on them. One wall (the one with the door) remains unused for storage systems, but is quite suitable for a large mirror. |
What can be filled
An equipped dressing room with your own hands can become a real advantage of the bedroom. Note that it may be difficult to apply a variety of storage systems with different functions and sizes to a limited space. Therefore, experts recommend following certain rules when filling it:
- closed and open surfaces should be correlated in relation to each other in a ratio of 1: 1, then in general the design will look friendly, neat;
- wardrobe doors can be made standard, swinging out. However, in this case, when open, they will require quite a lot of free space. It is better to prefer the accordion or sliding doors, despite the more complex technology of their installation;
- shelves and hangers should be mounted at the entire height of the wall, which will allow placing the maximum number of things, shoes, accessories in the dressing room;
- it is better to prefer lightweight metal storage systems of a modular type. They are affordable and quickly mounted on site with their own hands;
- drawers are made of lightweight chipboard or MDF and are intended for storage of hosiery, underwear. But for storing large towels, pastel linen or a blanket, it is better to prefer open shelves;
- for long dresses or women's coats, it is worth installing a pipe with hangers. It is installed at a height of at least 1.4 m from the floor. If the pipe is intended to store men's coats or raincoats, then mount it no lower than 1.6 cm from the floor;
- use new storage systems: unique skirts, scissors, spinning shelves or hooks for shoes and the like.
