What girl doesn’t dream of more spacious storage for clothes and shoes. But it is not always possible to resolve these issues without losing precious square meters of usable space. Even if there is enough space, a walk-in closet is a very difficult project. It is possible to arrange such a room with your own hands - let's see how to organize everything.
Pros of a dressing room
Most small apartments use a closet to store clothes, and many private homes also have one. But separate, even small room, allocated for such tasks, is much better.
A dressing room is very convenient and economical. In a separate room in the bedroom, hallway or another room, you can fit significantly more clothes than in the largest closet, and everything that is stored there will always be at hand and in sight. No more rushing between the closet and bedside tables.
The dressing room will fit all your things: underwear, outerwear, bags, shoes and various accessories.
Another plus is that the wardrobe will allow you to remove bulky wardrobes from the apartment. This will facilitate the visual perception of space - only light furniture will remain. As a result, the whole room will only benefit from this; you can install a soft corner or other desired furniture in the living room in the place that was previously occupied by a closet. In the hallway you can remove hanging clothes from sight.
Arranging a wardrobe system with your own hands is also an opportunity to save money. It’s enough to sit down and calculate what will be more profitable: buy several cabinets, drawers for storing things, shelves to equip the space in the wardrobe, or spend money on a massive wardrobe, two or three chests of drawers and several cabinets.
A separate spacious room for clothes is multifunctional. Pillows, unnecessary blankets, and mattresses are placed here. There are always several shelves for a photo album and boxes with various little things. You can also store an ironing board here, and if the room is large, you can even arrange a laundry room.
In what cases is it not advisable to make a dressing room?
A separate room for storing outerwear, linen and shoes, and various small items is a necessary thing even for a small apartment. It’s another matter when the apartment is one-room – this is the economy segment. There is no place to steal precious space, and there is no storage room in such apartments. In this case, it is not advisable to build a wardrobe. In any other cases this functional room It will only be a plus.
A dressing room can be arranged even in a small niche Materials
The modern construction market offers a lot of different materials that can be used to build a dressing room in an apartment. Drywall, wood, metal, and plastic are widely used. You can work with any materials yourself, the main thing is to purchase them in the right quantity. When finishing, glass wallpaper, tiles, and paint are used as desired. The choice of suitable material depends on the chosen scheme and layout of the dressing room, as well as the characteristics of the room in the apartment.
Drywall dressing room
It must be borne in mind that drywall is a material not intended for making furniture. It's still finishing construction material for leveling walls, ceilings, dry screeds for lightly loaded floors. And a wardrobe is something like furniture; drywall here will be too heavy and fragile.
Furniture solutions made from plasterboard are based on a frame that has a rather complex structure.
After the system is assembled, you will need to carefully engage in finishing work. To arrange a utility room, and the wardrobe is a kind of utility room, the labor intensity and total cost of the project along with construction work too high, and the capacity is reduced, since a durable plasterboard shelf will be at least 5 cm thick.
However for dressing room It is important to have a mass of blind cavities that are lined with vapor-permeable materials. Humidity will be regulated, and gypsum plaster will prevent sudden changes in the microclimate in the apartment. But neither clothes, nor shoes, nor any other things like this.
In the video: creating a dressing room from plasterboard.
Wooden wardrobe
There is no guarantee that clothes in the dressing room will be wet. Excess moisture will lead to mustiness. A wardrobe made of wood will allow you to remove excess moisture– even painted wood has pores, it is able to pick up excess moisture vapor from the air.
Laminate has all the benefits of wood, but does not have the porosity. However, laminate has such advantages as an affordable price, high strength and moisture resistance. There is just one more nuance - unlike wood, laminate is not able to breathe, and for a dressing room this is very, very important.
Laminate is a good substitute for wood, but you can use chipboard and laminated chipboard; you can often find wardrobes made of plywood.
How to make a comfortable dressing room yourself: step-by-step instructions
It’s not difficult to start building your own wardrobe space. There are a lot of interesting projects. It is important to choose the right the required diagram regarding the layout of the room. It is also necessary to have skills in working with wood or drywall. It is better to do the work step by step - detailed step-by-step instructions will help any home craftsman.
Step No. 1 – Planning (diagrams and drawings with dimensions)
Developing the first part of the project will not be difficult and will not take much time. Now there are ready-made drawings and diagrams that only need to be adapted to a specific situation. There are interesting ideas for a small room, which is very important for many.
There are several popular schemes:
- Corner;
- Linear;
- L and U-shaped schemes;
- Parallel structures.
When looking at the drawings, pay attention to the dimensions. The design is developed based on how large the area is. Rooms with an area of 4 m2 are considered the most comfortable and standard. It is this kind of room that will perform its original functions of storing things.
Corner dressing room
At the first stage we do the project - planning is very important. The corner design allows you to move away from the optimal size of 4 square meters and use less space. Even a size of 1.5x1.5 m will be sufficient for such a design.
- it is easy to work with even at home;
- no debris remains after installation work;
- the overlap will provide minimal load on the surface;
- Plasterboard partitions are easy to finish.
You can place drawers and shelves different ways, but it is much more convenient to distribute them from both walls in the resulting room. If you use only one wall, it will be irrational. Interior arrangement It’s better to design using open shelves - racks will make it easier to access clothes and also free up space. The door is chosen taking into account the limited space.
Linear design
This arrangement is convenient to use near walls. It’s easy to build such a room at home, but it’s most relevant in the bedroom. There are no beveled corners - this will facilitate the process of arranging furniture. It is easy to distribute internal elements in such rooms. You can arrange retractable hangers for clothing items. One movement of the hand is enough, and the necessary clothes will be in sight.
During the design process, you need to take into account that the optimal depth of the dressing room is 1.5 m. However, partitions inside will narrow the space - you should not install them. If the housing area allows, then narrow rooms will not be comfortable, and there will be little free space.
L- and U-shaped design
An L-shaped layout is when the dressing room is part of the room. The peculiarity is that it is not necessary to make a partition here. The instructions recommend using only racks open type, since the issue of saving precious space, as well as the issue of ergonomics, is very acute. The same instructions provide for the almost complete absence of any partitions in the design.
If you look at the sketch, you can clearly see that the method is very economical - to make the partition you need to purchase additional materials.
They also use designs with the letter P. They are good only for large and spacious rooms, but they allow you to place a lot of clothes and rationally fill the space.
What are the benefits of U-shaped walk-in closets:
- are highly practical and very interesting in terms of design;
- due to the unusual design, you can emphasize the interior;
- you can get optimal storage for clothes and more;
- Such schemes require a large number of different boxes for small items, gloves, and accessories.
If you choose the right color scheme, you will get a very simple, functional and visually attractive dressing room. Due to the presence of functional elements, it will be very comfortable to use.
Parallel type
Designing and arranging a dressing room according to this scheme is the simplest solution. This is a popular example, often used at home by ordinary craftsmen. More often this design can be found in the hallway and storage rooms. To implement the design, it is necessary to organize only a few partitions. Separated furniture sets are also used.
This scheme is good if you arrange it in a passage room, but not in the corridor. If the room is deaf, you should choose a different project.
Step No. 2 – Installation work
Let's see how to make a dressing room. Required option selected, design work completed, location selected. All that remains is to implement the design in metal and drywall. Plywood is also suitable, you can make a structure from laminated chipboard.
Step-by-step instructions for installation work:
1. First we make markings according to the drawings and diagram.
2. A frame is assembled from a profile on which the entire structure will be attached. In these works the main thing is accuracy. Profiles should be fastened as securely as possible - they will withstand high loads.
3. When the frame is ready, you can cover it with sheets of plasterboard, plywood or chipboard on both sides. As a result, a niche is formed, into which the electrical wiring and lighting system are then hidden.
4. In the case of drywall, all the resulting seams are carefully taped with a special tape and then puttied.

Step No. 3 – Finishing the dressing room
When the structure is ready, you can proceed to finishing work. There are several ways: finishing with plastic panels, regular painting or wallpaper. The last option is the simplest.
Wallpaper
Wallpaper is, of course, not the best solution, but one of the budget ones. You should first prepare the walls: clean them from dust and dirt, if necessary, fill up uneven areas and joints (in the case of drywall). The gluing technology is no different from the usual one. Wallpaper can be chosen to suit personal taste.
Ceiling
Here you can use plasterboard systems, pvc panels, lining - you can do whatever you want. But you shouldn’t complicate the ceiling design too much. It is enough for the ceiling to hide the wiring and lamps. It would be enough. The ceiling can be painted or wallpapered.
Doors
It is best to design the structure in such a way as to use sliding doors. Not only are they functional, but they can also add flair to a design. Even children can use such a door - it’s so easy. Installing sliding systems is also very simple.
A corner dressing room requires a slightly different approach. Here you need an appropriate door - a radius or accordion door.
Step No. 4 – Lighting and ventilation
This point should be given special attention. There should be enough lighting. If there daylight, then this is good, but it is better to organize additional ones - these can be any lighting. The number of lamps is determined by the size of the room. So, in a small dressing room, only two light sources are enough.
It would also be useful to illuminate the linen drawers internally using LED strips.
It is very important to choose the right ventilation system for the dressing room. It allows you to automatically ventilate the room and guarantees protection from unpleasant odors and dust. It is better to choose special ventilation solutions.
If you don’t want to buy an expensive option, then you can get by by installing a fan. It will also need an inlet hole. Power is calculated using the following formula - the volume of the room is multiplied by 1.5. This will be the final performance.
Step No. 5 – Arrangement: filling and storage systems
It is necessary not only to assemble the structure and install light there; the internal content is much more important. It also needs to be designed. The ergonomics and functionality of the dressing room depend on the correct filling.
Shelves
It is better to make the shelves retractable and place them so that there is 35-40 cm between them. The depth is made more than 40 cm. Wide shelves make it convenient to stack clothes. In cases with long shelves, one or more additional supports are required.
Shelving
When choosing the location of the shelving in the room, do not forget that they store linen, as well as various small items. You need to immediately think about what will be stored on open shelves. This is a practical solution, so they should be made in different sizes. It is important to identify the needs and you can confidently act.
Hangers
The filling of the dressing room should be modern. Innovation comes to the rescue. There are special hangers for trousers and skirts; clothes are fixed on them very gently, and there are no wrinkled marks left. The hangers themselves pull out from the niche. They have different sizes, which is very convenient.
You can also purchase a convenient device – a hanger organizer. The device is used to organize things.
You can install a pantograph - this is a kind of elevator. It will allow you to use the dressing room space right up to the ceiling and there will be no damage to comfort. The elevator is attached to the crossbars on the sides and to the rear wall. The only drawback is that it can only be used with light clothing.
Shoe storage systems
You'll have to buy a special module. It is a compact retractable system. There are also hanging organizers and stands. Specific solution selected based on their needs and room size.
Using sliding doors in the bedroom, the dressing room is separated from the rest of the area. The door facade must be made in such a way that it fits into the design. But such ideas are only relevant for spacious rooms. Look how it looks in the photo.
In one of the cottages, the attic was used as a dressing room. The walls are high enough to accommodate hangers for coats, fur coats, and jackets. Shoes and accessories are stored in narrow spaces. But this is true for a private home.
If there is a staircase at home, there is always free space under it. Here you can arrange a dressing room - it will be hidden from view and will not hide the space. It's perfect. You can assemble special retractable structures and a body made of wood and plywood, which will be hidden in the space under the stairs.
Take a look at what the dressing room looks like in the photo. Although the staircase is at an angle, this did not prevent us from using the space.
Agree, it’s quite convenient when all things are placed in one place. There is no need to run around the apartment looking for individual items; everything can be seen and tried on in one place. You can arrange it even in a small area. A rationally arranged dressing room with your own hands (drawings, diagrams and photos will be presented below) will serve you well for many years.
Our comfort depends on a properly organized storage system. Agree, when every thing is in its place, it is easy to find. The main rule is space and convenience. But in small apartments this is difficult to achieve. They come to the rescue modern technologies, thanks to which modern ones are reduced in size, miniature flash drives have replaced books. All this frees up additional space.
Before you plan a permanent storage system, you need to sort your things. Items that we have not used for a long time can be disposed of or sold, and for the rest we can choose the optimal dressing room.
Storage rules divide things into two rotations.
- Hot– items of daily or frequent use. It's not just clothes. This includes boxes of shoes. The size of the storage area depends on their dimensions;
- cold These are items of seasonal or rare use. For example, travel bags, household items.
Installing a separate wardrobe is much more practical than purchasing one. It is made to order, which allows for the most efficient use of all space with ideal filling. You can install a dressing room with your own hands according to ready-made drawings and diagrams. Photo selections on the Internet will help you make your choice.
DIY dressing room drawings, diagrams, photos
After determining the basic parameters, it is necessary to complete a drawing and layout diagram. It will help determine the location of all structures as accurately as possible. The main parameter when drawing up a plan is the area. It is she who determines the filling of the dressing room.
Minimum sizes should start from 4 sq.m. First you need to determine the installation location. You can allocate a separate room for this. However, not everyone has this opportunity. A small dressing room from a closet in small apartments is an ideal option.
To install a dressing room, it is enough to arrange it in any room. As a clear example, you can refer to ready-made solutions for dressing rooms in photo catalogs and choose your ideal dressing room option.
Corner dressing rooms in the hallway
As we determined, the placement will make the most efficient use of the corner of the room. It is enough to allocate an island of 2 square meters for the dressing room. Photos of interesting projects are posted in our catalog.
The partition can be done. This arrangement provides sufficient volume in a minimal area. Drywall is easy to use, the design is lightweight, and there is virtually no debris after installation.
Internal filling can be done in two ways.
- All structures are lined up along one wall surface;
- the filling is installed harmoniously along both walls. This is a more preferable location as the space is used more efficiently.
Designers offer several options for corner elements, with the help of which maximum ergonomics of a small space is ensured. The installation of a spiral lintel will help increase the space and smooth out the sharp corners of the dressing room.
Advice! It is better to leave shelves in storage systems open.
In the design of a dressing room in the hallway, it is necessary to provide an entrance with a maximum width. As an option, a device that will allow you to open as much as possible and combine the storage area with the common space in one motion.
Linear layout is a simple and accessible design. The structures are built along the wall surface. This arrangement is more like a niche. The entrance can be made using an accordion door, which can easily slide to the side, revealing a small world in front of you.
Using retractable hangers will allow you to bring your clothes closer with one movement of your hand. For a comfortable location, the dressing room is planned to be at least 1.5 m deep. It is better not to install partitions; they will take up useful space without adding any functionality.
For corner systems Racks are also used. Ready-made ideas for wardrobe room projects can be viewed in galleries on the Internet.
Parallel type
To create parallel placement, you only need to arrange and fill the room with furniture along parallel walls. However, not all premises are suitable for this type. For example, for walk-through rooms this is an ideal option. A completely different matter is a blind room, for which it would be more practical to place a U-shaped dressing room.
For a comfortable location, the parallel dressing room must have a width of at least 1.6 m, otherwise it will be very difficult to stay there. The racks should be located at a distance of at least 80 centimeters.
Filling can be done with end hangers and retractable panels.
L-shaped walk-in closets
This arrangement does not require partitions. It can be made an integral extension of the room. Systems in the form of shelving increase the area of the room.
Since the main cost of installing a storage system falls on the design of the partition, the L-shaped system allows you to significantly save money on the dressing room.
U-shaped wardrobes
The U-shaped system is suitable for both large and small spaces. This is a separate kingdom of the owners. You can install all the elements of dressing rooms in it: closed drawers, separate sections and shelving.
Arranging a U-shaped system allows the designer to show maximum creativity when filling the space. At the same time, the main task is to create a room with maximum space. For such a system, a narrow and long room is best suited.
To fill the dressing room, the upper shelves are made wider so that rarely used items can be placed there, such as travel bags or large boxes.
Dressing room in the bedroom
The installation of a dressing room is the most successful location of the storage system. If the area allows for the installation of one of the structures, you can safely begin to implement the project. Moreover, it is quite possible to do it yourself.
On large area A U-shaped design can be called ideal. It will unload the room as much as possible, while leaving enough space to move around.
An interesting solution would be to install a dressing room. Partitions can be made in the form of sliding structures or permanently.
If the bedroom area is very small, there is no need to be upset. He will come to the rescue. To place it you will need only about 1 meter of the width of the room. Properly selected filling will allow you to place all your household items in it.
For narrow spaces, a corner dressing room in the bedroom is suitable. Photos of designs are selected according to the overall design.
For the checkpoint room will suit parallel storage system. You can make preliminary drawings and visualize the final design.
Construction of a storage room in a Khrushchev-era dressing room, layout with dimensions
Architects of the last century when designing districts mass development provided a small storage room in small apartments. Designers suggest converting it into a dressing room small size. This is the most successful option for arranging an entire room for storing things.
The placement of the storage room in the Khrushchev house was carried out with an entrance along the long side of the common room or an end entrance. Let's consider both options for reorganizing storage rooms.
Placing the entrance along the long side of the room
Before filling the pantry, the old arrangement should be dismantled. To increase the width of the pantry, you can move the wall structure deeper into the room.
You should know! For transfer load-bearing structures it is necessary to complete the project and coordinate it with the architecture of the area. Unauthorized redevelopment is not allowed!
A U-shaped or linear structure is placed on the enlarged area. A useful option would be to place a two-layer structure. Racks or shelves for open storage are attached to a long wall surface. In front of them is a hanging bar. In order to take things from the shelf, you just need to move them apart.
Placing the entrance at the end of the room
It is impossible to move structures with this placement. In this case, the choice of location system must be made based on the parameters of the pantry. If the width of the room is up to 1300 mm, you can arrange an L-shaped system. Open ones are installed on the narrow side. Along the long side there is a rack with hangers and drawers for storing shoes.
For narrower spaces great solution There will be a roll-out hanger. In the room on the end surface there are open shelves rarely for storage
used things. The hanger rolls out into the common room.
You can find an interesting option for creating a dressing room with your own hands from a closet in photo catalogs and master classes on the Internet.
Proper dressing room lighting
Good is important for the whole house and especially for the dressing room. It is advisable if the storage system is organized with a window. But, unfortunately, such placement is not always possible. Let's consider alternative lighting options to natural lighting. It is important to choose lamps with warm lighting.

This is interesting! Furniture in small dressing rooms can be made with glossy surfaces that will reflect radiation and create the illusion of volume.
Requirements for dressing room ventilation
The storage system requires sufficient ventilation. It’s good if there is a window in the dressing room. However, it is not always convenient to keep it open. You can leave the doors open. But, as practice shows, this is also not always convenient. In this case, the solution would be a natural or forced ventilation device. This work must be entrusted to specialists who will select equipment taking into account the area of the room.
It will not only properly get rid of unpleasant storage odors, but will also protect against the occurrence of fungus or mold.
Doors for dressing room
Doors to the dressing room must be selected based on the overall style of the room. The design must be comfortable and reliable, because it will be used several times a day. Manufacturers offer a wide range of products, the choice of which can lead to a dead end.
Each storage system has its own recommendations for choosing doors.
Swing
To install them, free space is required along the opening direction. According to fire safety rules, doors must open into the common room.
Sliding
This design is suitable for small rooms. They do not require additional space. Door leaves move freely along horizontal guides. The structures are quite easy to install with your own hands. Photos of wardrobe systems are posted in the catalog at the end of our review.
Designs in the form of a book or accordion
In the first case, one part of the mechanism is fixed to the box, while the second moves on rollers. The system is in the form of an accordion or consists of several canvases interconnected by loops.
Sliding doors
The blades move on rollers along guides. One canvas is enough for a storage room.
Pencil doors
This is the most complex system. The canvas is hidden in a plasterboard box or in a wall surface. Externally they look very beautiful and unusual.
Filling the dressing room
Manufacturers offer a wide range of fillings for cabinets and dressing rooms. After all, not only the comfortable search for the necessary items, but also the service life depends on the correct placement. Therefore, it is important to rationally approach the internal content of the storage system.
Clothing storage systems
The middle compartment is selected for clothes. For placement on hangers, it is necessary to provide a height of up to 100 cm for shirts and about 170 cm for dresses and outerwear. Placement can be on rods and pantographs.
Small items are placed on shelves or in drawers.
Shoe storage systems
A lower compartment with a height of no more than 80 cm is allocated. Additionally, you can install horizontal or slightly inclined shelves. It will be convenient to install retractable structures, the height of which should be at least 30 centimeters for summer shoes and at least 45 centimeters for winter ones.

To make a woman happy, you need many different things, and a dressing room is an integral part of this list. It is worth trying and making the dream of many representatives of the fair sex come true, fulfilling one of their cherished desires.
Often, the standard layout of apartments does not provide for a separate room for storing clothes, so you will have to determine the location yourself. The total area of the home plays an important role here, but even with a small square footage, a dressing room can be properly accommodated.
If your home has utility room such as a closet, attic or storage room, this is an excellent option for a dressing room. True, provided that this room has an area of more than 2 sq.m. In this case, you only need to properly equip, hang a mirror, various shelves and arrange all kinds of interior accessories.
If one of the rooms in the apartment is large enough, you can occupy part of it by installing a special partition or modular system that will fit into the overall stylistic solution.
If at least one of these options is possible, then the dressing room project can be considered complete. In the future, all that remains is to decide on its complement. In this case there are two options:
- Buy now ready-made boxes, hangers and guides.
- Invite a craftsman to your home or make various shelves and drawers yourself according to your wishes. Of the materials, preference should be given to plasterboard and wood.
Room arrangement
In order for your wardrobe not only to fit well into the interior, but also to become as functional as possible, it is worth considering some nuances:
- The room must have an area of at least 1 * 1.5 m. This is the minimum area on which you can place various shelves, hangers and drawers with things.
- It is advisable that the dressing room have a place for changing clothes with a mirror. This is its main difference from a wardrobe.
- Here it is necessary to provide a ventilation system, otherwise all things will become saturated with a musty smell.
- It is necessary to store only items of clothing and shoes, as well as various accessories, without filling it with foreign objects.
These are the main rules that should be followed when planning a given room. It is worth zoning the room in advance on the drawing, taking into account all the dimensions.
Everyone determines the placement of things for themselves, based on their own sense of convenience and comfort. However, even at the stage of drawing up the drawing, it is worth taking into account all the existing windows, protrusions, etc. When dividing the dressing room into zones, you can start from certain rules:
- The place for outerwear and dresses should be planned in such a way that clothes can be placed freely. That is, the depth of the zone must be at least 0.5 m, and the height - 1.5 m. The width is determined based on the number of things.
- The area for short clothes - shirts, skirts, jackets, sweaters - should have dimensions of 50*100 cm. That is, the height of this space should allow additional zones to be placed underneath and above it.
It is more appropriate to allocate the next part for shoes. In it you can place both a special shoe rack and shoe boxes. That is, the height of this space will be limited to the area with shirts, and the depth should be no more than 30 cm. Above the shelf with blouses there will be the last area intended for storing hats and clothing care accessories.
Thus, the entire dressing room space will be divided into three zones.
When planning a future room, you need to remember the need to place a mirror (or even several), proper lighting, finishing materials, etc. color scheme all shelves, boxes and other places in which things will be stored.
Both built-in and wall lamps can be chosen as light sources for this room. However, when choosing the latter, you need to take care of additional lighting near the mirror. You can also choose LED lighting and place it along the top and bottom, which will not only make the room brighter, but also add coziness to it.
When choosing a finishing material for walls and ceilings, you can give preference to paint or wallpaper. It is worth considering that painted walls will maintain their impeccable appearance longer.
As for drawers and shelves, here too it is better to opt for painting, or you can simply varnish all surfaces, leaving the structure of the wood unchanged. If everything required places storages are purchased in the store, the question disappears by itself.
Thinking about how to create a dressing room, you can not only solve the issue of optimal placement of all your things, but also show your design talents when decorating it.
Advantages and functions
Having such a room will save you from the need to purchase various chests of drawers, cabinets and hangers, which will significantly save space, despite the fact that part of the room will be occupied by a dressing room.
Due to the fact that now each item is neatly laid or hung and does not come into contact with other things, the service life of the clothing will increase significantly.
If you have a large space, it will ideally accommodate bedding, travel bags, handicrafts and your dressing table(or additional floor hanger).
Thus, with very little effort and using a minimum of materials, you can create a dressing room yourself. It will help solve many issues regarding the storage of clothing items. At the same time, the saved space can be taken up by other functional pieces of furniture, and the procedure for selecting the ideal image will become much more enjoyable.
