If there is little space in the apartment, you may need to combine a dressing room and a bedroom in one room. This is not a problem, because with proper design, the dressing room can even be turned into a separate room! The main thing in this matter is to make the correct measurements and clearly think through the zoning system. Partitions can be doors, screens, curtains, and even the furniture itself, or you can even limit yourself to visual differentiation, using different textures of wallpaper, for example.
Advantages of a bedroom layout with a dressing room
The interior of the bedroom should be calm and peaceful, because this is the place where we come to relax and unwind. The abundance of objects and their disorderly arrangement can be annoying and stressful, which is why dressing rooms were invented. They will help you neatly organize all the necessary things and have a lot of advantages:
- You can fit clothes of any size, from summer to oversized winter jackets, as well as other items, such as bed linen, pillows, etc.
- In some dressing rooms you can even change clothes.
- They have a significant advantage over cabinet furniture - low price.
- If you place a dressing room in a niche, you will be able to save useful space in the room.
In addition, a properly selected dressing room can become the highlight of the room, harmoniously fitting into the style of the interior. This is a very comfortable and convenient storage system that frees you from large closets and many chests of drawers.
Lighting
As a rule, there are no windows in dressing rooms built into the bedroom. Lighting fixtures installed in the bedroom are not able to provide a sufficient level of illumination for the shelves inside. Therefore, you should definitely take care of the presence of additional lamps and lamps.
It is preferable to install several point devices to ensure uniform distribution of the light flux. No less relevant are LED strips installed along the perimeter of the ceiling surface.
Attention! For comfortable lighting, choose lamps whose glow is as close as possible to the natural spectrum.
Zoning a bedroom with a dressing room
Before you rush to the store for everything you need, you need to make a clear plan for placing a dressing room in the room. When designing, it is important not to disturb the geometry of the bedroom, otherwise it will become uncomfortable, and the arrangement of furniture will look ridiculous. You also need to ensure that every meter of space is put to good use.
There are many more options for installing a dressing room than it seems at first glance:
- in the pantry;
- in a niche or corner;
- between the window and the door;
- on the balcony;
- at the end of the wall.
You are very lucky if the room has access to the loggia. It will be a great place to place a dressing room, and the space in the bedroom will remain free. But if there are no adjacent extensions, you will have to look for a place in the room itself. There are many ways of arrangement, but the most popular and simplest is linear. The dressing room is located along the wall, and its width, as a rule, is no more than 1.5 m.
In a small bedroom, you can install a mini-dressing room, separated from the main room by partitions. Their role can be played by plasterboard partitions, sliding glass doors, screens or curtains that match the interior design.
A common method of arranging a dressing room is a wardrobe built into a niche. It saves space remarkably and “dissolves” into the wall, sometimes becoming completely invisible. It can be hidden using mirrors, frosted sliding doors or a false wall. This method is especially in demand in the minimalist style, when it is necessary to relieve the situation as much as possible.
Another option for modest-sized rooms is a corner wardrobe. If there are few things, just a meter of depth will be enough. Usually it is located in the corner from the front door. It is recommended to leave 80-90 cm of free space between the racks so that you can move freely inside. For small bedrooms, it is better to give preference to open wardrobes, because partitions make the room smaller and more cramped.
Now you can find a storage system for every taste and budget, and many design solutions will help you find a room design to your liking. To get some inspiration, let's look at various ideas for combining a bedroom and a dressing room.
Walls
A universal solution is wallpaper. You can always choose the appropriate option for a specific stylistic design. If loft is preferred, you can pay attention to decorative plaster. Wooden panels are also often used.
Attention! When choosing wallpaper, you should give preference to waterproof models. They can be easily cleaned of dust.
Interior solutions for a bedroom with a dressing room
In any case, the dressing room will take up quite a lot of space. In order not to disturb the proportions of the room with an oversized design, it is necessary to choose the right size and design. When choosing an interior solution, focus not only on the appearance, but also on the appropriateness of an option of this size for your room.
Corner placement of a bedroom with a dressing room
The best solution for a small bedroom where it is not possible to organize a full-fledged linear dressing room. For corner placement you will need no more than 3-4 sq.m. There are many variations in the location of the structure, the main criterion being the features of the room’s layout. Let's take a closer look at each option.
- In the shape of a trapezoid. In this case, partitions, most often made of plasterboard, are placed in the shape of a trapezoid. It is suitable for spacious rooms; in a narrow and long bedroom, a trapezoidal dressing room will look difficult, as it turns out to be quite spacious.
- In the shape of a triangle. A classic option suitable for any room interior. All you need is a plasterboard partition and a sliding door. To make it a little larger, you can choose a semicircular door. Some people think that such doors break faster, but this is not the case. If high-quality materials were used in production, they will last you no less than regular ones.
- In the shape of the letter "G". It is no less spacious than the two mentioned above. To form it, racks placed perpendicular to each other are used. The system can be open, which is preferable, because it will be more convenient to change clothes, or closed.
- Five-wall construction. It will be an ideal choice for a large family, because it is the most spacious option. However, it also requires more space than others. For such a dressing room you will need two additional walls, on which three interconnected partitions are installed. As a result, four walls are formed on which shelves are hung, and a mirror can be placed on the fifth.
Boiserie wardrobes in a bedroom with a dressing room
This type of dressing room is installed in the corridors. In order not to interfere with free movement, the racks are installed on both walls. Boiserie cabinets are especially often used in apartments where the bathroom is combined with the bedroom along a long corridor.
To hang walls, boiserie panels are used, which allow you to hang rods, drawers, shelves and other storage containers. To ensure ventilation, the panels are placed at a distance of 5 cm from the walls. They are placed only horizontally; there are no racks or partition walls.
Since all wardrobe elements are attached to panels, the walls maintain their integrity. This choice is especially suitable for you if the property is rented.
The advantages of boiserie wardrobes include excellent air circulation, sound and noise insulation, as well as the absence of walls, so clothes do not wrinkle during storage.
Wardrobe-compartment in the bedroom with dressing room
Traditional type of organization of things in the bedroom. Wardrobes of this type can be selected to suit any interior style; in addition, they are very spacious and allow you to store all the necessary things. Sliding doors are used to separate the shelving from the room.
Some models are a full-fledged room in which you can easily change clothes and, if desired, install additional chests of drawers and cabinets, for example, for storing bed linen. Despite this, the design is very compact and is suitable for a bedroom of any size.
If you properly distribute the space inside the dressing room, it will fit not only clothes, but also shoes, accessories and even ironing boards and household appliances.
A large selection of finishing materials will allow you to turn your dressing room into a real decoration of the room and diversify the interior.
Styles
The stylistic design of a bedroom with a dressing room can differ significantly. Each direction has its own characteristics, which must be taken into account when choosing finishing materials and furniture. This allows you to get a truly functional and cozy room. In some cases, elements from several directions are combined. However, in this case, you need to know when to stop, since instead of an original interior, you can end up with a tasteless room. Let us note the features of the most popular and sought-after stylistic trends used in the development of bedroom projects.
Loft
The urban loft trend is characterized by minimal decor and a fairly laconic design of the interior space. The dressing room is decorated using chrome-plated metal racks and wooden shelves. The latter can be attached directly to the wall.
To organize lighting, pendant lamps without lampshades and track lamps are actively used. They are positioned in such a way as to ensure a sufficient level of luminous flux in the right places.
Some people refuse the loft style because the dressing room seems uncomfortable. However, if you follow one direction when decorating the entire room, such a dressing room will harmoniously fit into the interior, and the bedroom will turn out to be cozy and functional.
High tech
This stylistic direction offers to allocate maximum space for living. Non-standard solutions are actively used to make a number of interior items invisible, but at the same time helping them cope with the task.
When placing accents, designers advise choosing pendant lamps with an original design or giving preference to wall sconces decorated with bright shades. A bright rug will also help attract attention.
Actively used:
- chrome spacers;
- tinted windows;
- hidden brackets.
The dressing room is usually closed. They try to ensure that its façade does not attract undue attention. The backlight is most often LED. Located around the entire perimeter of the room.
Classic
This option can be called universal. A bedroom with a dressing room in a classic style remains out of fashion for a long time. When developing a project, preference is given to neutral shades. High-quality expensive materials are used to decorate the bedroom.
Particular attention is paid to the functionality of the selected pieces of furniture. Often a pouf or even an armchair is placed in the dressing room.
Country
When decorating such a bedroom with a dressing room, natural materials are actively used. This allows you to demonstrate your closeness to nature and at the same time helps to create a convenient and comfortable interior. Most often used as finishing materials:
- paper wallpaper;
- tree;
- stone;
- linen.
Due to this, the room looks light, naturally comfortable. Preference is given to bedroom sets made from noble wood. They must have the correct shape. The use of unnecessary decor is avoided. The color scheme is very diverse. Green, blue, beige colors and other natural shades found in nature are relevant.
Attention! Bright colors are inappropriate in a bedroom with a country-style dressing room.
Pop Art
An ideal solution for those who love bright colors. This stylistic direction allows for the most daring combinations. You can decide on the most daring experiments. Considering that we are talking about a bedroom in which you need to relax, the main thing is not to overdo it. The interior should not be boring or hurt your eyes.
It is permissible to use a wide variety of materials. Thanks to them, the bedroom can truly become the room in which you want to spend a lot of time and get a good rest after a busy day.
Art Deco
The choice of those who appreciate luxury. You can achieve what you want with the help of individual elements. This could be a fairly compact chandelier with an exquisite design or unique figurines placed on a shelf. Original mirrors and thoughtful design of the bedroom set will help you achieve the desired result.
Rustic
A stylistic direction that owners of private houses will appreciate. When organizing a bedroom combined with a dressing room, natural materials are actively used here. Doors made of high-quality wood will help you achieve the desired result.
Color scheme and decor of a bedroom with a dressing room
When choosing a multifunctional, comfortable, high-quality and spacious dressing room, it is important not to forget that it should also fit into the overall design of the room. The system should look harmonious against the background of the rest of the furniture and complement it without drawing all the attention to itself. Ideally, you should get a single picture in which each element complements the other. Many people forget about an important nuance: pieces of furniture should be combined not only in color, but also in texture.
In order not to overload the space or reduce it visually, designers recommend decorating doors that act as partitions with mirrors, glass and patterns. When choosing decorative design, you should focus on the style of the bedroom. For example, wooden systems are appropriate in a classic interior, and plastic systems are appropriate in a high-tech interior. For a minimalist style, you need to choose plain and simple partitions, without additional decorations. They should blend in with the walls as much as possible. The color palette of facades should be muted and discreet.
An important point is proper interior lighting in the dressing room. She needs it no less than the rest of the room. In a bright space it will be much easier to find the thing you need. In addition, light also affects the perception of the outfit you choose. It is no coincidence that lighting in fitting rooms is selected especially carefully.
A creative solution is to divide the dressing room into several zones using multi-colored lamps. For example, with the help of light you can divide clothes into seasons: winter, summer and demi-season. Or separate the clothes of each family member. This will make using the dressing room much more convenient and comfortable, and you will not get confused when choosing clothes.
To illuminate the mirrors, special incandescent lamps with a power of at least 100 W are used. It is important to position the sources so that the light does not irritate the eye.
How to arrange a room?
When choosing decor for a 10 square meter bedroom, follow the rule: a bright room - bright accents, a bright room - discreet decorations. If the color scheme of your room is white, gray or beige, let your imagination run wild when purchasing bedspreads, curtains and other accessories.
The interior of a 10 sq. m bedroom should first of all be cozy. Textiles are responsible for this in the setting.
- Pillows set the tone, but too many of them can create problems. Firstly, before going to bed you won’t know where to put them. Secondly, refueling will take too much time. 2-4 decorative pillows are enough.
- A beautiful bedspread or blanket will protect the bed from dust and decorate the bedroom. The width of the correct bedspread should be 50-70 cm larger than the mattress. The gloss rule does not apply to fabric; it must be without shine.
- Volumetric multi-level curtains with lambrequins and fringe will overload a small room of 10 square meters. Opt for lightweight tulle or plain, elegant blackouts to block out light. If there is a table on the windowsill, fabric curtains are replaced with roller blinds or Roman blinds.

Another important aspect in decorating a small bedroom is lighting. It’s worth thinking through before starting renovations, taking into account all the options for spending time. A central ceiling chandelier or recessed spotlights for cleaning or getting ready for bed. Bedside table lamps, floor lamps or sconces - for reading and night activities. Spots directed at the closet will simplify the search for the right thing. A desk lamp on your desk is essential lighting for evening activities.
Paintings in the bedroom interior support the atmosphere and style. Hang them above the bed or place them on a shelf above it, or place them opposite.
Choose your indoor plants carefully: some of them absorb oxygen at night and can cause poor sleep. The best options for the bedroom are myrtle, gardenia, lavender, chlorophytum.

Dressing room in a small bedroom
Lack of space can create problems when planning your closet. Typically, in modest-sized bedrooms, the storage system is installed either along the wall or in the corner. Thus, the geometry of the room will not be destroyed, and it will look harmonious.
In small rooms, it is undesirable to use plain solid partitions; they will make an already small room even cramped. Glass railings are recommended. If you don’t want to completely open the interior space of the dressing room, you can use frosted glass or screens or loose curtains. This is a budget and stylish option, the main thing is to choose the right model.
Of course, the best option for a small bedroom would be an open storage system, but not all owners are happy with it. Stored items will collect dust more often than a closed walk-in closet, and if you have pets, there's a chance they could ruin your clothes.
Choosing flooring
For the floor in the bedroom you need to choose a high-quality, beautiful covering that will be pleasant to walk on barefoot. Even if your family can't afford to make expensive renovations, don't put linoleum on the floor. It looks cheap and quickly becomes unusable.
Brown and white narrow bedroom
Laminate or parquet will look impressive. The laminate can be chosen dark, light or natural wood. It does not require special care and lasts a very long time. Sometimes tiles are chosen for this room. But then the bedroom should have a “warm floor” system. If you don’t have one, consider having beautiful rugs next to the bed, closet, and sofa.
