The main areas of the wardrobe are the high section for outerwear with a bar at a height of at least one and a half meters, a meter section for short clothes, a section for shoes and upper shelves for hats and clothes that you will put away in the off-season. For example, in a dressing room of 4 sq.m in the bedroom, as in the photo, this will be enough.
Photos of dressing rooms - small, 4 square meters. meters When planning how the dressing room will be equipped, focus on its owner. For girls it is necessary to provide a place where they can look in the mirror, but for men it is more important to quickly find everything they need, so you should additionally think about the practicality of the storage sections.

In fact, there are a lot of ideas for designing such areas, so before starting work, look at at least a few layout options.
Corner option
Corner wardrobes are perfect for small spaces. They will find use in rooms with an area of about 20 square meters, since it will be enough to allocate up to 4 square meters for storing things.
Taking into account the characteristics of the room, prepare sketches of dressing rooms. Such sections can have different shapes:
Depending on the model you choose, you can install different equipment inside. But if you are planning a small corner dressing room, choose simplified models.
Pass-through wardrobe
Sometimes it becomes necessary to organize a storage area in a walk-through room. In this case, the racks are installed so as not to block the passage into next room or zone. For example, this situation is typical for modern apartments, where the bedroom and bathroom are located next to each other.
What is important to consider when organizing space in this way? First of all, correctly plan the placement of shelves and other sections. They should not interfere, but it is important to maintain their capacity. The second point is the doors. Standard doors that open away or towards you take up a lot of space. Perhaps a door option similar to sliding wardrobes will suit you better.
It is convenient when adjacent rooms are located along the same axis, and not diagonally to each other. In this case, you can place the shelving in such a way as not to impede movement and ensure a harmonious appearance of the entire area.

Attention! You should not make a wardrobe in the attic if maximum height in this room does not reach two meters.
It is important that when visiting such a wardrobe you can calmly stand at your full height. If you have enough space, you can begin planning this area. In areas with low ceilings, place shelves for shoes, in higher areas - storage sections and hangers.

When decorating a wardrobe that is located in a bedroom or another room, choosing a design will not be difficult. The color of the materials used should be in harmony with the interior of the room. It is desirable that all furniture elements, including the dressing room, have a similar texture or even belong to the same collection.
The doors of such a wardrobe can be decorated with transparent or frosted glass, mirrors, moldings or carvings. The design method depends on the style of the room: for more modern design You can even choose photo panels based on plastic.
The design of a separate type of dressing room, as a rule, requires good lighting, since there are no windows in such rooms. Therefore, it is better to decorate the walls in light color(this could be paint or wallpaper).
The color of the facades itself may be different, depending on your preferences and the area of such a room, but it is better if it is also a light and easy-to-read palette.

A pantograph is a type of rod that has a mechanism for descending to a convenient level. Good for a small dressing room, where it is not possible to allocate the upper shelves under the mezzanine, but you have to use the entire height of the room for rods.
2. Retractable trouser hangers. Must be present in a functional dressing room and occupy a height of at least 60 cm.
3. Boxes. Some of the dressing room modules must be protected from dust. Drawers store underwear and bed linen, accessories, and jewelry. Flat boxes storage of small items should be equipped with dividers to avoid chaos from belts, socks and jewelry.
The drawers can extend to 3/4 depth and to the full depth, and are equipped with closers and one-touch opening mechanisms. Of course, every additional function requires capital investment, but adds ease of use.
4. Shelves. Can be stationary or retractable. The width of the shelf is at least 30-40 cm. Under the ceiling of the dressing room, you can plan wider shelves - 45-60 cm - under the mezzanine. Suitcases, boxes of seasonal items, rarely used equipment and clothing will be stored here.

Baskets can be equipped with a retractable mechanism, or they can be completely simple plastic and stand on shelves - a great way to save on expensive retractable elements.
Before you put another pair of shoes or bag in a box, be sure to label what's inside. Better yet, take a photo of the contents and put a sticker on the end of the box. In moments of urgent preparation for an important event, you will be endlessly grateful to yourself for your organization.

Boots with high soft tops are stored hanging to maintain their shape (leave sections 40-60 cm high for such pairs). Unused seasonal shoes are on the mezzanine, everyday pairs are closer to the floor.
7. Hangers for ties, scarves, belts, umbrellas. They can be retractable (similar to trouser hangers), hanging (located on a rod) or circular - in the corner of the dressing room. Hooks and clips attached to the wall or door serve the same purpose.
8. Spacious sections for storing ironing boards, dryers, irons, vacuum cleaners, buckets and others household supplies. It is better to hide such often unsightly devices behind cabinet doors. We want the dressing room to be not only comfortable, but also beautiful!
9. Mirrors. Ideally, there should be several of them: one full-length - on the cabinet door, on the wall, or a mobile, free-standing one. At least one small one - so that you can look at yourself from the side and behind.
10. If space allows, you can place a convenient pouf or armchair, dressing table or console.
1. Special attention give . The best option – Spotlights, giving bright diffused light.

2. It is advisable to provide in the dressing room ventilation. Air circulation will provide protection from unpleasant odors and reliable safety of things. Ventilation is especially important in rooms equipped with washing machines and clothes dryers.
3. Start planning your closet from high sections for long clothes. The remaining elements (shelves, drawers, pull-out modules) are distributed according to the residual principle.
4. Depth stationary shelves should not be more than 100 cm. It is better to make deep shelves retractable, because The arm length of an adult is usually no more than 80 cm.
5. Drawers and shelves should not be made wider than 90 cm due to possible sagging under heavy things and for good operation of retractable mechanisms.
6. The same goes for rods more than 100-120 cm long. Provide support for them so that one day the entire structure does not collapse under the weight of heavy winter clothing.
7. On aisles between shelves you should leave at least 60 cm. If the dressing room is equipped with sliding mechanisms, add another 50 cm of free space for convenient use of all modules.

- Built-in. The most popular option because it is highly compact. There is no space between the ceiling and the floor, no gaps between the corners. Its only drawback is that it is unlikely to be dismantled when moving/
Dimensions
First you need to decide on the width of the future dressing room. If you want to use a longitudinal rod, the width must be at least 65 cm - this is the width of hangers. If you wear large clothes, you may need wider hangers. If there is not a lot of space, you can make the hangers at the ends, but the minimum size of the dressing room itself should still be at least 35-40 cm, otherwise you will not be able to place your shoes.
To figure out the minimum length of a dressing room, you need to add together the length of all the cabinets and other furniture that you plan to place under one wall.
The minimum cubic capacity of the dressing room should be 2 square meters. m - 3 sq. m, but if you prefer a U-shaped layout, this option will be cramped for you, but for a corner dressing room this is an excellent option. remember, that we're talking about O standard room, if you want to arrange a wardrobe in the attic with a sloping ceiling, you will need twice as much space.
In general, a comfortable, even small dressing room, should start from 4 square meters. m. Ideally, if you can allocate so much space, then you can place not only clothes inside, but also find a place for compact furniture and household appliances.
Design
Since standard dressing rooms are focused on large sizes, there are not many ideas for arranging small dressing rooms. However, with due ingenuity, you can find interesting options.
The simplest and quick way arrangement for a very small room - a mobile hanger that will serve as a dressing room. You can place shoes under the hanger and hang handbags on the sides. This is a good option for those who have few things.
Can also be stored in dressing room clothes seasonally, that is, hang up those that you are currently wearing, and hide those that are currently irrelevant in a small closet or chest of drawers.

- If the apartment has a niche, you can use it to place a built-in dressing room. The passage can be closed using curtains or sliding doors.

Internal filling
Storage systems
You need to start by choosing the right storage system, which are divided into three types - metal frame, mesh and modular wooden.
Aluminum (metal frame) systems are very popular. They are a frame made of a profile, which comes with a set of additional elements and various accessories. They come already ready - several standard options from famous manufacturers, and are produced to order - according to individual drawings and the wishes of the customer.
In such a wardrobe system there are no doors, partitions or side walls. But the frame itself can have different contents - shelves, cargo, rods, baskets and much more.
The mesh system must be attached to the wall; more precisely, a horizontal strip with vertical guides is first fixed. Shelves, racks and mesh baskets are already fixed directly on it.
Another popular option is a modular system. Its disadvantage is that it is made of wood or chipboard, so its size needs to be thought out in advance, since it cannot be changed. But it is durable, reliable, has a classic appearance and holds a lot of things.
You can buy ready-made modular system or made to order.
Ventilation and light
Properly selected light in the dressing room is very important, so choose lighting fixtures you need to act responsibly. Since there is already little space, it is worth abandoning hanging lampshades, which take up a lot of space and do not provide enough lighting. Give preference to spotlights that can be built into cabinets - they will create excellent illumination.
Another good decision– floor lamps located along the furniture line.
Organization of good ventilation is also important - it will avoid the formation of humidity, mold and the appearance of insects that love warm and humid places. It's good if you arrange a separate ventilation system However, this is a rather expensive pleasure that not everyone can afford. A budget option– exhaust fan (such devices are often installed in bathrooms).
The most optimal solution– installation of an air-conditioning system with an antibacterial filter. They will purify the air and remove any unpleasant odors, so your clothes will always smell nice and fresh.
Interior arrangement
Doors – important element small dressing room, they do not take up much space. It is better to give preference to folding accordion doors, which are the most compact. Another option is sliding doors, which look very aesthetically pleasing. Their only drawback is that they are extremely difficult to install.
Both options are quite expensive; if your budget is limited, you can use roller blinds, roller shutters or just a decorative partition.
One of the advantages of a dressing room over a closet is inner space fully usable, from ceiling to floor. The brackets are placed at a height of about one and a half meters so that clothes do not drag on the floor, but can be easily reached. Under them there are usually racks for storing shoes. It could also be low wide chest of drawers With big amount boxes. They can be used to store not only shoes, but also clothes that do not correspond to the current season.
On top there will be shelves on which you can keep blankets, blankets, bed linen, suitcases and other bulky items that are not often in everyday use.
In a small dressing room, where there is no extra space to hang all the clothes on hangers, you can install a multi-level rack. It will allow you to place a maximum of things when folded, while the interior will look stylish and neat.
Planning interior design, don’t forget about lockable drawers in which you can store gloves, hats, scarves, socks, underwear, etc. When arranging a small dressing room, it is better to give preference not to retractable drawers, but to roll-out ones.

Hooks are also indispensable when arranging a small dressing room, since they take up minimal space, because they are simply attached to the wall, and you can hang anything on them - from pajamas to a bag or outerwear. If you have a lot of classic trousers with arrows in your wardrobe, 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 color scheme dressing room.
So as not to open every box looking for the right pair, they can be beautifully signed.
You can store various small items - sunglasses, hair accessories and jewelry - in special pocket cases, or place them on a special rack with many hooks and closing glass doors.

Unfortunately, in an ordinary apartment there are not many options where you can place a dressing room.
In the pantry

Give preference to linear placement of furniture. Such a dressing room will resemble a closet, and you can choose required amount shelves, drawers, hooks and more.
Another good option is an L-shaped storage system, which works well for a narrow and long pantry. Thanks to convenient layout, you can also store an ironing board and a vacuum cleaner inside, and the clothes you need will be located on the far wall. The U-shaped layout is the most spacious, since the walls will be used minimally. However, it is only suitable for large closets where there is enough space.
In the hall
A dressing room in the hallway is very convenient, since everything you need will always be at hand before leaving the house. At the same time, the hall will always reign perfect order. Separately, you can allocate space for household items. equipment (mops, buckets, detergents and other things). You can also place meters and alarm control panels behind the doors to hide them from prying eyes.
Most often, small dressing rooms are made in the corresponding hallway, since the large one has room to walk around. Therefore, a built-in wardrobe is usually chosen as a dressing room, which copes with this task perfectly. Another good solution is to separate the free space in the corner and fence it off with partitions. This way you get a triangular or square shape. In this case, the partitions can be sliding, as in a wardrobe, or solid - from ceiling to floor, and the entrance opening will be located in the place you choose.
How to do it yourself?
As you already understand, you don’t have to build a dressing room from scratch; you can remake it from a cluttered closet, loggia or balcony. When equipping it, refuse cabinet furniture, which takes up a lot of space. Give preference to special modular designs that do not have extra walls, but have convenient mobile cabinets.
