How to arrange a dressing room in a two-room apartment: mistakes that deprive you of coziness
A dressing room is a necessary element in a modern apartment.
This is especially true for small apartments, where every square meter counts. How to optimally organize a dressing room in a two-room apartment?
First, you need to decide on a location. It is best to arrange a dressing room in a small room or in the hallway, says Yulia Tychino .
You can also allocate a part of the living room for it, fencing off the desired area with a partition. In this case, one of the walls should be completely occupied by built-in cabinets.
It is better to choose modular cabinets so that you can vary their quantity and location.
They should have as many different shelves, drawers and hangers as possible. It is desirable that the cabinets reach the ceiling, since the upper space is often not used.
In addition to the cabinets, you can install a chest of drawers or several open shelves. They are needed to store seasonal items and shoes.
The dressing room may also contain a small rack for clothes during fitting.
When planning a dressing room, it is important to provide for convenient zoning. Divide the space into zones by types of clothing and shoes.
Outerwear, coats, and jackets should be stored separately from light summer clothing.
The best place for them is in the hallway or at the entrance to the dressing room. It is also better to leave shelves or drawers for hats, scarves, and gloves there.
For blouses, shirts, dresses, hangers and short hangers are suitable, which can be placed on the doors of cabinets or on the wall. Trousers, skirts, sundresses are best folded on shelves or in drawers.
A separate area should be made for underwear, socks, tights. It is best to store them in a chest of drawers or in the lower drawers. There can also be a place for bed linen.
In the shoe area, use wall racks or shelves to keep each pair in plain sight. Shoes and boots are best placed on lower shelves.
For small accessories - belts, scarves, etc. - you will need hooks on the wall or doors.
The lighting should be as bright as possible. Install LED lamps around the perimeter and above the mirror. This way, the dressing room will always be light and cozy.
In addition to lighting, there are several other important areas that need to be arranged in the dressing room.
Be sure to install a large mirror, preferably full-length. It can be stationary or sliding, sliding out of the closet.
There should be enough space in front of the mirror to try on clothes.
It is good to make a zone for clothes care next to the mirror. Hang a stand for hair dryers and irons, shelves for various accessories.
Here you can also put a table where you can store clothes brushes, needles and threads for minor repairs.
It is very convenient to equip a place for storing bags, cosmetic bags and accessories. Hooks, shelves, special racks are suitable for this. Arrange everything by type and size - this will make it easier to select the necessary accessories for clothes.
Don't forget about a comfortable bench or ottoman so you can put on your shoes comfortably.
You can also place a small cabinet in the dressing room to store household chemicals used for clothing care.
The main thing is to think through the arrangement of all zones so that they are as functional and convenient as possible for daily use. A well-planned wardrobe will save a lot of time and create order in your closet!
