Types of built-in furniture
The following types of built-in wardrobes are produced:
- Wardrobes.
- Wardrobes.
- Wardrobe cabinets.
You need to understand that a wardrobe in the bedroom is an excellent solution!
The most effective cabinets for a walk-in closet are the built-in type, since with the same occupied space they have greater capacity than cabinets of other designs.
Required tools and materials
Dressing room partitions can be made of different materials. Most often, plasterboard or wood boards such as chipboard, plywood, etc. are used. If this option is implemented, then to assemble the frame you will need a metal profile or wooden blocks. Self-tapping screws are used as fasteners. The finished partition is puttied, smoothing out traces of fastenings, then painted or wallpaper is pasted.
The filling can be purchased. This is the case with mesh and tubular systems. You can assemble cabinet furniture with your own hands. To do this, they order chipboard cutting according to their measurements or recut parts from disassembled old cabinets or tables. In the latter case, after final assembly, new racks and shelves are painted to make the structure look aesthetically pleasing.
If a closed system is being installed, doors will also be needed. They can be anything: swing, accordion or compartment. The last option is chosen most often. Before making sliding doors to the dressing room, special attention should be paid to the quality of the fittings. It is important to select the rollers and guides according to the weight of the canvas and install them correctly. Otherwise they will not be able to work normally.

Wardrobes
This type of cabinet is characterized by several internal compartments and storage methods - closed, open or partially open. The design of the doors of such wardrobes for clothes can be hinged or sliding.
The cabinet doors are equipped from the inside with various devices for storing accessories (belts, ties, etc.).
If there is no storage room
In this case, experts recommend installing a dressing room in one of the bedrooms. The design of a wardrobe in this version should be very laconic. A wardrobe or built-in frame-type wardrobe can be placed along one of the long walls of the room. Often the place for a large closet is in the hallway.
Wardrobes
A distinctive feature of the wardrobe is the presence of only sliding doors.
Mirrors, often built into the sliding doors of such cabinets, are always directed in one direction, which is more convenient to use than mirrors in swing doors.
Comfortable and roomy
In the hallway or a specially formed space for a dressing room, it is worth installing a corner cabinet. This is the most spacious option. In addition, it can be partially closed with compartment doors, which significantly saves usable space.
Additionally, the façade of the structure should be decorated with mirrors. Such a cabinet can be divided into areas for storing things with different purposes and equipped with niches, drawers, shelves, and equipped with baskets and organizers.
Partially built-in wardrobes
This design is used if there is a niche in the room. In this case, part of the body is assembled from elements of standard furniture.
In some cases, built-in furniture does not require back and side walls. If they are mounted to the side and ceiling panels of the building, they can become deformed due to insufficiently smooth surfaces.
How to organize a dressing room in a small bedroom
There are several recommendations for organizing a functional dressing room in a small bedroom:
- If a storage room is adjacent to the bedroom, it can be converted into a dressing room.
- It is important to carefully work out the layout of the dressing room and choose the “stuffing” depending on the number of things.
- The facade of the dressing room should look light, so its doors can be made of glass or fabric, in the form of blinds, or have perforations if they are wooden - this will ensure good ventilation inside the closet.
- In a small room decorated in a minimalist style, if the dressing room is located opposite the window, the doors can be made completely mirrored - this will make the room lighter and airier.
- You can use boxes, baskets, and organizers as storage modules - this will allow you to fit more things.

Glass
The facades of the built-in glass cabinets visually increase the space. In addition, with decorative interior lighting in such cabinets, the room becomes like the set of a science fiction film. Fits harmoniously into the design of modern and high-tech styles.

Frosted translucent glass, in addition to the decorative effect, makes the contents of the cabinet inaccessible to view.
However, such frosted lakomat glass makes it easier to find things in the closet, thereby saving the life of retractable devices due to their less intensive use.
Order when everything is in place
Experts recommend using small storage rooms in apartments for wardrobe equipment. As a rule, in such rooms there are shelves for storing utensils and everything necessary for the household.
However, it is advisable to remove such structures and make room for full placement of things on hangers, boxes of shoes on the floor. You can make a small shelf in the back of the pantry to put on it a supply of wet and dry wipes, shower accessories, tablecloths, and vacuum cleaner bags.
By the way, it is also advisable to store the vacuum cleaner itself in such a room.

Plastic housing
Modern technologies make it possible to create plastic panels of any color, size and texture. The use of such materials in the interior allows you to achieve impressive results.
When making wardrobes made of plastic to order, any image or photograph can be printed on the facade.
Design selection
Regardless of the type of construction, both the dressing room and the closet are quite large in size, so when choosing their design you should strive for a visual lightening of the structure. Solid doors would be appropriate for spacious rooms.
There are several design techniques that will help create a design that is easier to perceive:
- To create perspective, mirror facades or colored glass inserts are used.
- Facades with a glossy shine, matched to the wall material, decorated with enamel or plastic, visually make massive parts lighter.
- You can make the facade an accent detail in the bedroom interior by decorating it with a pattern using the technology of applying sandblasting a pattern to a mirror surface.
- The doors, made using several materials, look original.
- The color of the facades to match the walls makes the massive structure less noticeable in the interior.
- The functionality of the dressing room can be expanded by equipping it with shelves for books on the outside.
- Sliding glass partitions will be appropriate in many modern styles.

Internal arrangement of cabinets
In most cases, a necessary condition for the convenience of using a cabinet is to divide its internal space into compartments and cells using partitions.
User preferences in these matters do not always coincide, but there are rules that should be followed.
Choosing a location
It is recommended to choose a place to place a dressing room in the bedroom at the stage of developing a planning solution. First of all, you need to choose the optimal location for the bed - the main item in the bedroom. The rest of the furnishings are selected based on the remaining free space.
Bedroom project with a dressing room at the head of the bed
If the room is elongated and narrow, then you can even out the proportions of the room by dividing the space into two rooms using a partition.
If the room is square, then the built-in furniture can be placed on the wall where the head of the bed is located and, if necessary, placed on the adjacent wall.
Options for organizing a dressing room in a narrow rectangular room and in a small square bedroom
The easiest way to organize a built-in dressing room is to install a plasterboard partition perpendicular to the door to form a niche with a depth of 40 to 90 cm. You can install a regular cabinet cabinet in the same way. The method of opening the doors is chosen depending on the availability of free space in front of the cabinet - if it is more than 60 cm, then traditional hinged doors can be installed. Otherwise, use a sliding opening system, “book”, “accordion” doors or thick textiles.
Organization of a dressing room in a spacious room
In a small bedroom, the dressing room is organized using maximally open structures with a metal frame. There must be order on the shelves, otherwise the room will be perceived as untidy.

Free or combined dressing room layout
If the room in which the cabinet or storage shelves will be placed has a non-standard shape, with projections and niches, it is worth considering the use of combined layout techniques. Here everything is selected individually, and before ordering furniture it is carefully measured and verified.
Initially, it is worth planning in which part certain things and shoes will be placed, so that the dressing room turns out to be practical and spacious.Internal cabinet areas
The lower area is traditionally used for storing shoes, and rarely for other purposes. Its height allows you to easily place winter women's shoes in this compartment. There are often additional compartments and shelves, and the entire shoe compartment is closed with separate doors.
The middle zone, up to 170 cm high, is intended for storing wearable clothing, including underwear. There is a built-in rod for hanging hangers.
There are often pull-out drawers and shelves. Drawers with transparent walls allow you to quickly navigate the closet and find the item you need.
The top compartment of the closet is most often used to store hats, caps and other headwear. For ease of use, the depth of the upper compartment should not be significant.
Selection of internal equipment
The internal content of the dressing room, even if it is a traditional cabinet cabinet, deserves special attention - the functionality and spaciousness of the structure depend on it. The main elements that you will need to think about when placing them include the following.
Table 2. Filling the dressing room
| Name | Description |
Barbell | It is a crossbar on which hangers are hung. For short clothes (jackets, shirts) the bar is placed at a height of 1.4 m, for long clothes (dress, raincoat) the bar is placed at a height of 1.7 m. The angular spiral version is compact. |
| Hung | Can be used as an alternative to barbells. It has a large capacity, but requires a lot of free space. |
| Pantograph | A closet lift allows you to place clothes rails at the entire height of the structure and easily remove them. |
| Shelves | They can be solid or perforated. The second option ensures air circulation. The width of the shelves ranges from 40 to 60 cm. |
Trouser | Can be used to store trousers and skirts. |
| Drawers | Used for storing small laundry and things that are susceptible to dust. |
Shoe maker | Used for storing shoes. |
Note! The optimal dimensions of a dressing room in depth are at least 1.5 - 2 m. For a small room, it is better to choose a compact but spacious wardrobe.
Best location
Determining the location of the future wardrobe depends on the configuration of the apartment and the recommendations of the designers.
The preferred locations have always been the bedroom and hallway. If there is a niche, the dressing room should be located there.
It should be taken into account that hinged cabinet doors have an undeniable advantage - when they are opened, the entire contents of the cabinet are available for viewing.
A corner wardrobe is more convenient in tight spaces, and for an elongated hallway, a sliding wardrobe built into a narrow part of the room is preferable.
A corner wardrobe with louvered doors will look great in the bedroom. If you have sufficient space, it makes sense to install built-in wardrobes in both the bedroom and hallway.
Wearable clothing, shoes and sports equipment should be stored in the hallway, and underwear and bed linen, suits and shirts should be stored in the bedroom.
Stages of self-organization of a dressing room
We will analyze step by step how to plan and make a dressing room yourself.
Planning
This is a very important stage at which a detailed plan for the future storage system is built. It is important to correctly determine the type and location of the filling. To avoid mistakes, we suggest you follow a few simple steps.
- We determine how many people will use the wardrobe. Ideally, each user should have their own zone.
- We determine what should be stored indoors. In addition to shoes and clothing, this can be bed and table linen, home textiles, travel bags, sports or household equipment.
- We sort things. We find out what will be stored on the shelves and what will be hung. Based on this, we determine the number of rods and shelves or baskets. Be sure to make an increase “in reserve”, because over time the number of things changes.
- Determine the height of the rods for long clothes. To do this, we measure the longest models.
- We draw up a sketch of the filling of the wardrobe. At the same time, we take into account the tier. We use the middle tier for clothes that are often used. We lift seasonal items, travel bags, equipment, and home textiles to the upper tier. Shoes are often stored on the lower tier. Knowing the number of shelves and rods, we build a rough plan.
- We supplement the approximate diagram with dimensions. For clarity, we cut out models of cabinets and shelves from paper exactly to scale and place them on the plan. We move, selecting the optimal placement. We make a list of the necessary equipment and add it to the plan.
The scheme obtained in this way is further refined. If possible, you should create private areas for all wardrobe users. It would be good if there was room for a large mirror, pouf or bench.

2. Lighting
The room must have a light source, preferably more than one. For overhead lighting, choose built-in spotlights or a flat chandelier. It will not interfere when changing clothes. It is optimal to select lamps with a warm shade that is as close as possible to natural light. They distort colors the least, which is very important when choosing an outfit. You can highlight the mirror area, shelves and interior parts of cabinets.
LED strips or flat lamps are also installed here. A good solution would be to install a sensor that will turn on the lighting when the door is opened. We need to consider the need to install an outlet. You may need more than one. Especially if the room is large and has an ironing corner.

3. Ventilation
A tightly closed room must be ventilated. Otherwise, the clothes will become saturated with a musty smell. The best, but most difficult option is to install forced ventilation. To do this, a ventilation hole is installed in the upper part of the wall, which is connected to the general ventilation system. An exhaust fan is installed in the hole. Its operation is programmed by a timer or the device starts when the lights are turned on.
To bring in fresh air, you can also install a special ventilation grille in the door leaf. If it is not possible to install forced ventilation, install unsealed doors, for example, folding doors or blinds. A ventilation grille in a swing door leaf will also help. This will ensure natural air exchange. If this is not possible, you will have to periodically leave the doors open for ventilation.
Partition installation and finishing
Installation of the partition wall begins with the installation of the frame. It is assembled from a metal profile or a wooden block. The finished structure is sheathed with gypsum board sheets or any other suitable material. Joints and dents from fasteners are sealed with putty, seams and corners are reinforced with sickle. The dried putty is cleaned off. Now the base is ready for finishing. This could be painting, in which case it is better to apply an additional layer of putty, or wallpapering.
The inside of the wardrobe also needs finishing. They are finishing the ceiling and installing lamps. Then the covering is laid on the floor. It can be the same as in the whole house, or any other. The walls are painted or wallpapered. If the surfaces are uneven, it is advisable to level them before finishing. Otherwise, difficulties may arise when installing the filling. Doors are installed last, if provided for by the project.

Storage system installation
The filling assembly is carried out in a fully finished room. It is easier to assemble systems purchased in a store. They always come with detailed instructions that must be followed exactly. It is a little more difficult to install a filling designed independently. A pre-made diagram will help. The cut parts are laid out in the next room and gradually assembled on site. They start with one of the walls, then move on to the next ones. After the base is ready, the retractable and hanging blocks are put in place.
