Some variants of the layout of the dressing room can accurately adjust the shape of other adjoining rooms.

Style Selection

Interior style should closely intertwine with the rooms in the immediate vicinity - bedroom, living room, etc. Materials are used every possible:

• plastic - for the manufacture of shelves, boxes, wall panels;
• gypsum board - the material of the partitions separating the dressing room from other rooms;
• wood, including cork - like facing the walls, the material of cabinets, racks, shelves;
• steel, aluminum - material of racks, rails, separate shelves;
• rattan, vine - wicker baskets for storing small items;
• paint, wallpaper - wall decoration material;
• glass - sliding doors of the wardrobe of individual styles are made of opaque or transparent.

Fabrics for covering walls, furniture, are rarely used, as they are able to collect dust, and in conditions of limited space it is not so easy to remove.

The most suitable styles for the wardrobe:

• buaseri - all available shelves are attached directly to the walls, without cluttering the interior with vertical posts;
• classic - shelves, cabinets, wooden frames, but solid, fully it looks only in large rooms;
• minimalism - bright, contrasting colors, clear simple forms, plastic panels;
• loft - shelves from MDF, fiberboard on the background of walls "under a brick";
• hi-tech - shiny chrome racks, shelves of glass;
• ethnic - stances stylized as bamboo stems, part of shelves - wicker from vines;
• Art Nouveau - universal, most often bright colors, without superfluous decor, it is possible to use plastic baskets, textile organizers;
• Provence - faded colors, romantic patterns, decoration "under the old days".

Rarely what kind of interior is kept strictly in one style, usually representing a concise mixture of two or three.

Color combinations

Colors are chosen suitable for the general style of adjacent rooms. It is important not to overload the interior with unnecessary details. The background is chosen mostly neutral, so as not to distort the real colors of the garments. In a very small room preferable:

• white;
• beige;
• cream-yellow;
• light-greenish;
• pale blue;
• silvery gray;
• creamy;
• wheat;
• pale golden;
• violet;
• light pink;
• pearl.

         

For a room of 6 square meters or more, especially with windows, dark, mostly cold, colors are allowed: dark gray, blue-brown, graphite black, olive. For rooms with windows to the north or completely without them, apply warm, light colors. If space is required to be visually made lower, the walls, closed cabinets are decorated with horizontal strips, and the height is increased easily with the help of vertical elements. When the room wants to be slightly expanded, a light unicum tile is placed on the floor diagonally across the room.

Lighting

Lighting предпочтительно точечное, светодиодное, галогенное, не обязательно яркое. Люстры, бра, торшеры будут занимать полезное пространство и без того тесной комнатки. Люминесцентные лампы потребляют малое количество электроэнергии, но выглядят они не слишком красиво. Плоский потолочный светильник может сочетаться с тонкой светодиодной лентой, пущенной по низу, середине стеллажей. A good idea will be the installation of a cloakroom near the window, but if its area is four or five meters, then the wall with the window can not be used to the full. In the corner room for clothes you can fix a table lamp on a clothespin, a pair of searchlights that turn as needed in any direction. The presence of large mirrors, white glossy planes, will create the impression of a large space filled with light. To visually change the shape of the room, various light techniques are also used:

• when you want to make the room less elongated, the upper part of the long walls is brightly highlighted;
• to make a square higher, highlight the perimeter of the ceiling, the upper parts of all four walls;
• if you want to visually expand the room, the walls at the bottom, the cabinets, the ceiling are highlighted.

 

If the wardrobe is equipped with a motion sensor, then the light there will light up when the doors are opened.

Men's dressing room is very different from women's more homogeneous content, the emphasis is on functionality - there is completely no extra. In the dressing room, where things are located for the whole family, you should create a certain zoning, separating at least children's clothing from an adult. If possible, each member of the family is allocated a separate space - if the area of ​​the dressing room is 3 or 4 meters, this is difficult, but possible.

Of the items of equipment for the dressing room are usually used:

• rods, pantographs - rods for dresses, raincoats are made in height up to 170-180 cm, depending on the length of the garments. For shorter clothes, the lower level is about 100 cm. Pantographs are hung under the ceiling, if necessary lowering;
• hangers for skirts, trousers - placed at a height of about 60 cm from the floor level;
• closed boxes - perfectly protected from dust penetration, some equipped with separators. They store small items of underwear, bedding, hosiery, costume jewelery;
• shelves - retractable, stationary. For small objects with a width of 30-40 cm, for large, rarely used objects - up to 60 cm, they are placed under the ceiling;
• baskets, boxes - can simply stand on the shelves or slide out. Suitable for economy-interior;
• shelves for shoes - open, closed, retractable, up to 60 cm high. Boots are stored in a suspended state;

When the chosen style of clothes does not mean long coats, dresses "on the floor", then one high bar-bar is replaced by two - from above and in the middle;
• airing this room is necessary - ventilation systems should be carefully thought out in advance, it will protect clothing from excessive humidity, which is especially important for the first floors, unpleasant odors, sometimes leaking from the kitchen;
• in a small dressing room you should not store extra items - skis, rollers, dumbbells and stuff. A large wall mirror is also difficult to place here - it is replaced with a mirror door;
• Modular storage system is the most convenient, compact. Small items of linen are stored in pull-out sections, on narrow shelves, on wider shelves - pastel clothes, knitwear. On special hooks hang neckties, belts, bags;
• the most used clothes are placed in the most visible place, so as not to seek for a long time. Those items that are only worn only occasionally are stored at the top, and to get them you need a folding ladder-ladder or a special step-stand;
• an ottoman for comfortable dressing-undressing is very useful even in such a tight space.

Large bulky items of furniture in the dressing room should not be placed, otherwise there will be no room left.
