A dressing room is the dream of every woman, but not every woman dares to make her a reality. And this is not surprising, because not every apartment and even a house can find a separate room for clothes. However, to translate this idea into reality, it is not necessary to have large apartments - a dressing room can be built in your own bedroom.
It will allow you to store both seasonal items and those that are temporarily not needed. At the same time, they will not be crushed and will be available for use at any time, which cannot be said about a storage place like a mezzanine. On the subtleties of the organization of a dressing room in the bedroom will be discussed later in the article.

Kinds
Room designers offer different models of dressing rooms that can perfectly fit into the bedroom decor. Popular solutions include a built-in wardrobe, which is an inseparable part of the room., system, fenced off from the main room of the bedroom by compartment doors, a niche in the wall of plasterboard, closed by means of doors of various types or simply curtains. We will tell about these and other options in more detail.
Cupboard
A dressing room can be just a huge closet with many shelves, compartments and rods - this option is a classic. The size and design of this piece of furniture can be any, it all depends on the taste preferences of the customer and its capabilities.
If the design reaches the ceiling itself, then the upper shelves can be distinguished for off-season things, and the lower ones - for actual ones.
Standard straight
This option is easy to implement in a large room. Separate part of the room with sliding doors, while the materials for the execution of this idea may also differ. If you install transparent doors, the room will retain its spaciousness, it will seem as big and light, the shutters can be from both ordinary and frosted glass. Sliding mirror doors for a dressing room, an accordion door look very impressive. In general, any type of sliding doors would be preferable to swing doors, as they save room space.
Corner
It can be L-shaped, which allows you to save a lot of space not just by using corners, but also by using the area under the windows, which often remains empty. Due to its unusual shape, your “island of style” will give the apartment a unique look. The most popular is another option, when the angle is separated by two walls at a right angle - thus formed a "mini-room" in the room.
Usually the walls of such structures are preferred to be made of translucent materials that allow at least some light to pass through. The glass semi-circular models that visibly transform any room, making it more modern, also look impressive.
Open
The layout of the dressing room may not involve doors, for this you simply fence off part of the bedroom behind the bed with a modern shelf, put a closet, mirrors, shelves there. There is also a plasterboard partition wall, and it can start at one of the walls and not reach the other, so that there is room for entry, and it can assume two passes at both walls - then its main part will fall on the middle.
It is desirable that its width was not too large and did not conceal precious centimeters of living space.
Mobile
An even more economical option in the pan space is a mobile hanger. The single-tier pole for hangers is located at a height of about 1.5–1.7 meters from the floor. The two-tier arrangement of the rods is preferable in terms of space saving - on one bar, located 2 meters from the floor, hang long things, on the second a meter from the floor - short ones.
Next to the bars there should be free space where you can change clothes, and you can separate this room from the rest of the bedroom with the help of a folding screen. Of course, this option will give you a bit of space for clothes and even more so for shoes - you will still need a closet for seasonal things.
Location methods
We propose to study the issue of placing a dressing room in the bedroom in more detail. So, a place to store things can be located:
- in the zone of any blank wall, where there are no other elements of the interior;
- in a bedroom with a large area, you can fence off the corner, thus obtaining a dressing room of an unusual shape - triangular;
- along the long wall with a window a dressing room will be no less appropriate, then a dressing table can be conveniently located in it, since makeup is best done at a natural light source;
- in a long rectangular room, you can put a bed near a large wall, and a dressing room next to it;
- if the room is large and has a relatively square shape, then an excellent option would be to place the bed in the center of it, and a dressing room behind the headboard, while the closet should have a depth of at least half a meter and leave at least 70 cm of free space;
- the walk-in closet is suitable for a large bedroom with a modern and unusual design, it is located in the middle of the room and is separated by partitions from two sides at once;
- An interesting option, popular in the apartments of the new layout, is to use the large loggia adjacent to the bedroom as a dressing room, but then it should not be the only source of natural light in the room - there should be other windows in it.
Recommendations for selection
With these tips you can successfully place your dressing room in the bedroom, having received not only a functional, but also a beautiful room, which will be the highlight of your apartment.
- Before embarking on your design ideas in life, think about what the approximate amount of things you have, and which of them are most often found in your arsenal. Some of them need only shelves, others are more convenient to hang on hangers, on rods, and others are preferably stored in retractable drawers or even open baskets. So, pants fit more compactly if they hang on hangers, but cashmere, on the contrary, is folded.
- Find the best place for your future wardrobe. The preferred space for a dressing room in the bedroom is the area behind the head of the bed and the wall at the side of the entrance.
- The correct dimensions of the future structure must be determined in advance, and not in the process of implementing the idea. Calculate the parameters so that near the shelves with things and shoes there is enough free space to walk along them and choose things.
It is recommended to leave at least 70 cm of “air”, and if drawers are provided, then there should be more free space.
- When the calculations of the project are completed, you can proceed to the most pleasant and interesting stage - the choice of design. Someone wants to hide this interior in a “secret corner” and not to show it to anyone, but someone likes to turn any element of the furniture into an art object - then the dressing room will not be an exception. You can arrange it in bright colors, with thematic drawings in a fashionable style of pin-up, inscriptions and other striking details.
- We should also note the external decor of the dressing room in the bedroom. Who does not like monotonous colors and too strict style of the situation can show imagination and give their wardrobe a truly exclusive look.
If it is formed by means of a plasterboard partition without a door, then you can glue the resulting walls with wallpaper to your liking or paint them. Inside, your creative fuse can no longer be held back, because this is your personal space, and it can look like anything. The main thing is that in this situation you would like to invent new images and transform. In order not to be confused with the assortment of things, paste over the sliding wardrobes with clippings from magazines that will indicate the contents: here are sweaters, there are shoes, and so on.
Wardrobe decoration options are many. If the dimensions allow, then it can be decorated with vases with dried flowers or even fresh flowers, paintings, photographs that inspire you to create vivid images - for example, images of Paris or portraits of stylish women who have become world famous.
Be sure to keep order in your little “universe” so that it does not wallow in chaos. If you put everything strictly in their places, the process of changing clothes will not only be faster, but also more pleasant. If you're already lucky enough to have so many storage systems for clothes, it's a sin not to use them with maximum efficiency.
Lighting options
Think carefully about the lighting of your wardrobe corner. No one likes to scour in search of the necessary thing in the dark, and even more so when it comes to the place specially equipped for clothing. Ideally, you need to make additional wiring, which will make the lighting as comfortable as possible. If there is free space, place beautiful lamps that will be placed so that you can see yourself well in the mirror. Unlike the closet in the dressing room, you can install good bright lights that will help you navigate well.
If you do not have the opportunity to conduct additional wires for luminaires, then you should not fill the floor with extension cables - there are modern light sources that do not require connection to the network. These can be LED strips or small wall lanterns.
Interesting examples
A popular solution is to have a dressing room behind the headboard in the center of the room. In this case, a small partition moves directly from the bed, unobtrusively zoning the room.
Ideally, if your bedroom is allowed to separate so much space under the dressing room, that things can be arranged in two rows opposite each other. Weights, shelves and storage systems will allow you to create the perfect world of things, where each of them has its own place.
Arranging the walls of the dressing room in the form of a right angle (like a shower stall), you can achieve an excellent result. The main thing is that the doors are equipped with an easy sliding system, and you do not have to apply an effort every time you need to change clothes. Option well suited for small apartments.
So, by separating the corner of the room with a straight wall, you can get a triangular dressing room of interesting design. It is not just functional and saves space - this solution looks very aesthetic.
If you want the dressing room to be seen only by you, and this place has always remained hidden from prying eyes, use the curtain. In this embodiment, they complement the pastel range of the overall interior of the room and perfectly hide the wardrobe.
