The wardrobe room is the dream of any woman, but far from every fair woman dares to make her a reality. And this is not surprising, because not every apartment and even a house has a separate room for clothes. However, to bring this idea to life, it is not necessary to have large apartments - you can build a dressing room in your own bedroom.
It will allow you to store both seasonal items and those that are temporarily unnecessary. However, they will not wrinkle and at any time will be available for use, which can not be said about a storage location such as mezzanines. The intricacies of organizing a dressing room in a bedroom will be discussed later in the article.

- Even if, after the construction of the dressing room, the bedroom space decreases, then it will not cease to be cozy. Here you can pick up a set of clothes in a calm and relaxed atmosphere, having thought it through to the smallest detail.
- Eliminates the need for the owner to look for things in different cabinets - they are in one place.
- The most necessary items of clothing are located near the bed, which is very convenient - undressing, you can immediately go to bed.
- If the dressing room, combined with the bedroom, has enough space, then in it you can hide other useful items needed to restore beauty. For example, an ironing board with an iron, hair styling accessories and more. However, if desired, other household items, such as a vacuum cleaner, will also hide there.
- It has many shelves for shoes, where you can most conveniently arrange shoes - by season or even by color.

Kinds
Room designers offer different models of wardrobes that can perfectly fit into the decor of the bedroom. Popular solutions are the built-in wardrobe, which is an integral part of the room., a system fenced off from the main room of the bedroom by compartment doors, a niche in the wall made of drywall, closed by means of various types of doors or simply by curtains. We will talk about these and other options in more detail.
Cupboard
Wardrobe can be just a huge closet with many shelves, compartments and rods - this option is a classic. The size and design of such an interior item can be any, it all depends on the taste preferences of the customer and his capabilities.
If the design will reach the ceiling, then the upper shelves can be allocated 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 this idea may also vary. If you install transparent doors, the room will retain its spaciousness, it will seem as big and bright, the shutters can be made of ordinary or frosted glass. Sliding mirrored doors for a dressing room, accordion doors look very impressive. In general, any type of sliding door would be preferable to swing doors, as they save space.
Corner
It can be L-shaped, which allows you to save a lot of space not only 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 right angles. - in this way forms a "mini-room" in the room.
Typically, the walls of such structures are preferred to be made of translucent materials that transmit at least a little light. Glass semicircular models also look spectacular, which noticeably transform any room, making it more modern.
Open
The layout of the dressing room may not require doors, for this, simply fence off part of the bedroom behind the bed with a modern shelf, put a wardrobe, mirrors, shelves there. There is also a gypsum board partition, and it can start at one of the walls and not reach the other, so that there is room for entry, and can assume two passes at both walls - then its main part will be in the middle.
It is desirable that its width is not too large and does not conceal precious centimeters of living space.
Mobile
An even more economical option in the space panel is a mobile hanger. The single-tier bar for the coat hanger is located at a height of about 1.5-1.7 meters from the floor. A two-tier boom arrangement is preferable in terms of space saving - on one bar, located 2 meters from the floor, hang long things, on the second one meter from the floor - short.
Near 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 screen. Of course, this option will give you a little space for clothes and even more so for shoes - for seasonal items, you will still need a closet.
Location methods
We suggest studying the issue of placing a dressing room in the bedroom in more detail. So, a place to store things can be located:
- in the area of any blank wall where there are no other interior elements;
- in a bedroom with a large area, you can fence off a corner, thus obtaining a dressing room of an unusual shape - triangular;
- along the long wall with the window, the dressing room will be no less appropriate, then a dressing table can be placed in it, since it is better to do makeup while being 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 is to install a bed in the center of it, and a dressing room - behind the head, while the cabinet 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 on both sides at once;
- An interesting option, popular in new-type apartments - to use a 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 - it should also have other windows.
Selection recommendations
With these tips, you can successfully place your dressing room in the bedroom, Having received not only functional, but also a beautiful room, which will become the highlight of your apartment.
- Before embarking on the realization of your design idea, think about the approximate number of things you have and which ones are most often found in your arsenal. Some of them need shelves only, others are more comfortable hanging on hangers, on rods, and others are preferably stored in drawers or even open baskets. So, trousers fit more compactly if they hang on hangers, but cashmere, on the contrary, is folded.
- Find the best place for your future wardrobe. Preferred places for the dressing room in the bedroom are the area behind the head of the bed and the wall to 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 there is enough free space near the shelves with things and shoes 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 even 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 object in a "secret corner" and not show it to anyone, but someone likes to turn any element of the decor into an art object - then the dressing room will not be an exception. You can design it in bright colors, with thematic drawings in a trendy pin-up style, inscriptions and other catchy details.
- Separately, it is worth noting the external decor of the dressing room in the bedroom. Those who do not like the monotonous colors and overly strict style of the atmosphere can show imagination and give their wardrobe a truly exclusive look.
If it is formed by means of a drywall partition without a door, then you can paste the resulting walls with wallpaper to your liking or paint them. Inside, your creative fuse can no longer be restrained by anything, because this is your personal space, and it can look like anything. The main thing is that in this environment you would like to come up with new images and transform. In order not to get confused with the assortment of things, cover the drawers with clippings from magazines that indicate the contents: there are sweaters, shoes and so on.
There are many options for decorating the dressing room. If the size allows, 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 famous around the world, can decorate it.
Be sure to keep order in your little "universe" so that it does not wallow in chaos. If you fold everything strictly in their places, then the process of changing clothes will be not only faster, but also more pleasant. If you are fortunate enough to have so many storage systems for clothes, it’s a sin not to use them with maximum efficiency.
Lighting options
Carefully consider lighting your wardrobe corner. Nobody likes to scour the search for the right thing in the dark, and even more so when it comes to a place specially equipped for clothes. 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 clearly see yourself in the mirror. Unlike the cabinet in the dressing room, you can mount good bright lamps that will help you navigate well.
If you do not have the opportunity to conduct additional wires for the fixtures, then do not flood the floor with extension cords - there are modern light sources that do not require a network connection. It can be LED strip or small wall flashlights.
Interesting examples
A popular solution is to have a dressing room behind the head of the bed in the center of the room. In this case, a small partition departs directly from the bed, unobtrusively zoning the room.
Ideally, if your bedroom allowed you to separate so much space under the dressing room, that things can be arranged in two rows opposite each other. Booms, shelves and storage systems will allow you to create the perfect world of things, where each of them has its own place.
By 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 effort whenever you need to change clothes. The option is good for small apartments.
So, separating the corner of the room with a straight wall, you can get a triangular wardrobe of interesting design. It is not just functional and saves space - this solution looks very aesthetically pleasing.
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 version, they complement the pastel range of the overall interior of the room and perfectly hide the wardrobe.
