Dressing room in a small bedroom

Sooner or later, everyone has a moment when so much clothing and shoes accumulate that they begin to fill all the cabinets, bedside tables in the house and are generally stored anywhere. In this situation, there is a desire to put it all in one place. This is where special dressing rooms will come to the rescue. But what if the apartment is small and there is not enough space in the bedroom. If you really want to, you can organize a dressing room even in the smallest room and immediately solve all the problems associated with organizing clothes and shoes in the house. Thus adding a little free space.

How to fit a dressing room in a small bedroom

If you decide to make a dressing room in your bedroom, first decide on its shape. For small rooms, two design options are relevant. These are linear and angular. In order to understand which one to choose, you need to take into account the proportions of the length and width of the room where the dressing room will be located.

Bedroom design with corner dressing room

If the bedroom has a shape close to square, a corner dressing room will come in handy here. To correctly design the design and shape, let’s consider what corner wardrobe rooms are:

• Square. A medium-sized option, good if there is very little space.
• Triangular. Simple in execution, but small in capacity. There are only two walls for cabinets and shelves with things.
• L-shaped. Occupies space along two walls. Very roomy, but difficult to implement.

Having examined the room and decided which option is best suited in your case, you can think about purchasing the necessary shelves, cabinets, mirrors and other things. It is advisable to decorate the room in the style of a bedroom. Doors, walls and the interior need to be thought out so that it does not stand out from the general style.

Bedroom interior with linear dressing room

This type of dressing room is built along one of the walls. It is very simple to make, but it will not be convenient in every bedroom. For a linear dressing room, an oblong room is better suited, where this extension will be installed along the far wall. You need to stylize it, as in the case of the corner one, in the same way as the bedroom.

Which dressing room is best for a small bedroom?

In a small bedroom, the simplest and best option would be a linear dressing room, with a U-shaped arrangement of shelves and cabinets. This will allow you to make the most of the space occupied by it. But it’s not possible to install one in every room. The problem may arise with the location of windows, doors and the shape of the room. In this case, there remains the possibility of choosing a corner design.

How to make a dressing room in the bedroom

After careful planning, you can begin purchasing everything you need. Cabinets, shelves, hangers, and other attributes of this extension can be found in a furniture store. There shouldn't be any problems installing them.

How to turn one room into two

The first stage of creating a dressing room is the construction of its walls. There are several solutions to this problem:

• Use cloth. The easiest and fastest way. Curtains made of thick material, such as corduroy or brocade, will create a private atmosphere inside.
• Sliding partitions. Sliding doors made of frosted plastic or glass are what you need to conveniently divide a room.
• Drywall. An easy-to-process material designed for creating partitions in the house.

When planning this structure, choose the method of dividing the room that will fit most harmoniously into the interior.

REFERENCE! A dressing room made without doors will not spoil the design of the bedroom, especially if the interior furnishings (cabinets, shelves) are matched to the color of the furniture in the room.

Zoning the dressing room

A carefully thought-out interior design will make the room not only beautiful, but also comfortable and functional. To do this, you need to correctly distribute the internal zones, which are usually divided into:

• Bottom. This is the most convenient place to keep your shoes. Having shelves in this area will allow you to store and easily find all your shoes, sandals, sneakers, etc.
• Average. For the most frequently used items. In this area it is best to place shelves or cabinets for folded clothes and rods for the rest.
• Upper. It is advisable to divide it into two zones, the lower of which will be used for storing hats, scarves and the like.And the top one is for rarely used things.

By properly designing these zones, you can organize things as much as possible and make finding what you need quick and convenient.

Arranging a dressing room

After planning, you can begin arrangement. You can easily find everything you need in furniture stores. Also, in this case, you should never forget about two important details - lighting and ventilation:

• Lighting. One light source here is most likely not enough. You need to make sure that all shelves and cabinets are well lit. For this, several spotlights in different corners are best suited.
• Ventilation. Don't neglect it. Without good enough air circulation, mold can grow on clothes.

Shelves, rods and cabinets must be installed according to the previously allocated zones.

IMPORTANT! Set aside space for various household items. After all, they will end up in the dressing room anyway, sooner or later. A small dedicated section for things like a vacuum cleaner, ironing board, etc. will be very useful.

How to think through the design of a dressing room in the bedroom

It is advisable to make the design so that it is in harmony with the bedroom. If possible, make the doors the same color as the entrance to the room. If plasterboard is chosen as the material for the partition, think about covering it with the same wallpaper as in the room.

Interior design is also important. Choose a shade of interior shelves and cabinets that matches the furniture in the room. This will highlight the style and make your dressing room a source of pride.

How to make a wardrobe in a small bedroom

The design of wardrobes is ideal for small bedrooms; space savings with their use will be greatest. Stores offer a large selection of ready-made solutions. But if you have time and desire, you can do it yourself. This will allow you to achieve the most effective result and get a unique item.

Wardrobe design

The first stage in creating something is design. This matter requires complete seriousness and responsibility. First you need to decide on the location of the future cabinet. A blank wall is best suited for this.

Having chosen a place, we begin to think through a system of shelves, pull-out cabinets and other things. Here you need to be guided by the rule: we store frequently used things in the middle, those that are less frequently used are at the bottom, and the rest at the top. Having thought everything through carefully, display it in a drawing on paper.

Step-by-step implementation of a wardrobe in the bedroom

After you have prepared the drawings, you need to decide what material will be used. The most popular today is chipboard. It is also necessary to provide and purchase all the necessary fittings (fasteners, screws, door awnings, guides for pull-out shelves and compartments). The further plan of action is as follows:

1. We go to the furniture store with the drawings. Many of them offer a cutting service. We order the necessary parts for the future wardrobe. You also need to order the service of edging the edges of chipboard.
2. If the store doesn’t offer this, you’ll have to do it yourself. For cutting you need to use a circular saw.
3. Using a drill and a screwdriver, we connect all the structural elements with Euroscrews.
4. We attach rods for things, guides for drawers and shelves according to previously made drawings.
5. We screw the cabinet doors onto the canopies.
6. We install the structure in place.

This process is very long and complex. Without a tool and the skills to use it, it is unlikely that you will be able to do anything. In most cases, it is easier to order a wardrobe of the required sizes from professionals.

How to best arrange a wardrobe in a small bedroom

The choice of location for the wardrobe depends entirely on the decor in the bedroom. In this case, you need to pay attention to doors and windows, length and width. A free corner near a window or door can be a great place for a corner option, and a blank wall for a linear one.

The decision to install a wardrobe in the room will undoubtedly be very correct. It would seem that this is a waste of free space, but in fact everything is exactly the opposite. Once all the clothes in the house have their own place, the need for many bedside tables and wardrobes will disappear.
