Many residents of city apartments who dream of a dressing room believe that this is impossible in a small apartment. Say, and so not to turn around, and if you also allocate half a room for a dressing room, then there will be no place at all.
They are partly right: many city apartments are so poorly designed that they are cramped even if the area is quite large. But, on the other hand, if you calculate the area occupied by all wardrobes, dressers and drawers in your house, you will understand that this is just a small dressing room …
How to make a dressing room in an apartment
Ideally, a dressing room should be planned even before you move into the apartment and even before renovation. An experienced private interior designer will be able to help you arrange the dressing room in the best place and optimally organize the space inside. The main requirements in this case are as follows:
the dressing room should be large enough to accommodate everything that you plan to store in it;
access to the dressing room should not be blocked by doors or other furniture;
optimal design of internal shelves, corresponding to the number and nature of things that you will store here.
It may seem to many that the dressing room in the apartment is no different from the pantry, but this is not entirely true. In addition to the fact that things in the dressing room are more optimally organized, accessible, in the dressing room you can change clothes, put yourself in order.
Of course, not every resident of a small-sized city apartment decides to allocate a large space for a dressing room, but given that you can sell or throw away all the other closets in which you store clothes, shoes, accessories and other little things, then you can use the rest of the area more rationally.
Features of creating a dressing room
Since the dressing room is created primarily for storing shoes and clothes, create a storage system so that things
easy to get hold of;
did not crumple, did not gather dust.
Since things will be stored inside the dressing room on open shelves and hangers, you need to make sure that the doors to the dressing room do not allow dust to pass through. For small things, you can provide light and compact dressers in which it is easy to find the necessary accessory.
If your interior and the area of your apartment allow you to make the dressing room spacious enough, a good solution would be to place a mirror in it, in which you can see yourself in full growth. In addition, you can add another mirror – on the contrary, then you can see yourself simultaneously from all sides, which is very convenient.
