The dressing room is an integral part of any apartment or house.

However, in small one-room apartments there is often not enough space for a separate dressing room.

However, with the right approach, you can organize a functional wardrobe space even in a limited area, says Yulia Tychino .

First, you need to decide on a place for the dressing room. It is best to use a niche, a corner of the room or the space near the front door.

This will allow you to use the available space economically. Another option is to fence off part of the room with a partition.

The main thing is that the allocated space is spacious enough and convenient to use.

Next, you need to think about the wardrobe equipment. Instead of classic cabinets, it is better to use modular systems - racks, shelves, hangers. They can be combined based on the available space.

The best option is an open storage system without doors. This saves space and creates a feeling of spaciousness.

When choosing equipment for a dressing room in a one-room apartment, you should give preference to functional solutions. Drawers, shelves and baskets of different sizes, rotating and pull-out hangers are well suited. They will allow you to use every centimeter of space as efficiently as possible.

Sorting things correctly will help optimize storage. You should divide your wardrobe into zones by season, type of clothing or frequency of use. Wall shelves, baskets, and drawers in a chest of drawers are suitable for small accessories. Shoes are best stored on special racks or in folding boxes.

Don't forget about the design. To visually expand the space, use mirrors, light colors, and inserted glass shelves. Decorative elements, textiles, and banners will create coziness and give the dressing room a stylish look.

The main thing is to think through everything down to the smallest detail and choose the best solutions for a specific layout. Then even in a one-room apartment you can create a stylish functional dressing room.

When creating a dressing room in a one-room apartment, it is important to use every centimeter of space. Here are some useful tips to help you do this:

  • Install a modular storage system that can be customized for a specific room. Combine open and closed modules, use folding and transformable structures.
  • Zone the space by type of items and frequency of use. Place seasonal clothes away from the entrance, and the most frequently used items within reach.
  • Make the most of vertical space. Install shelves and racks all the way to the ceiling, use the upper sections of cabinets.
  • Use multi-level structures – shelves, racks, drawers of different heights. This will allow you to place more things in a limited space.
  • Use folding, collapsible and transformable mechanisms – pull-out hangers, folding chairs, folding tables.
  • Use multifunctional items – drawers with dividers, shelves with built-in hangers, laundry baskets.


Following these simple recommendations, you can easily place everything you need and create a convenient wardrobe even in the limited space of a one-room apartment. The main thing is to show a little creativity and effectively use every free centimeter.
