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.
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.
Plasterboard ceiling
There are several types of such ceiling coverings, given the size of the room, you can use virtually any type:
- Single level
- Two-level
- Three-level
A single-level coating is the simplest, it is even and allows the installation of any lighting fixtures. With its help you can easily hide small unevenness in the ceiling, chips and cracks.
In conjunction with a single-level ceiling, spotlights located along the perimeter of the ceiling are often used. They are able to sufficiently illuminate a room without taking up too much space.
A two-level ceiling covering allows you to create beautiful compositions on the ceiling. In addition, due to this type of ceiling covering, it is possible to advantageously carry out zoning in the room. Due to differences in ceiling level, you can advantageously indicate the transition to another zone.
In addition, neon lighting is usually placed in the folds of a two-level ceiling. This is one of the best options, very compact and beautiful. In addition, you can install a backlight with the ability to switch colors. Very convenient, especially when you need to create a certain atmosphere in the room.
The three-level ceiling is the most complex, and at the same time the most spectacular. With its help, you can create complex shapes on the ceiling, inside of which you can place full-fledged, point lighting sources. This approach will completely illuminate the room.
Along the perimeter of the figures, you can place a secondary lighting source in the form of a backlight. It can be used as a night light or a less bright light when needed.
A plasterboard ceiling is much easier to install; just a couple of people, a small amount of free time, and a minimal set of tools are enough for a complete, professional installation of the ceiling covering.
In addition, the material can be additionally painted or covered with other materials, depending on the preferences of the owner. The most economical and convenient option for decorating a ceiling for a bedroom.
In the combined version, a suspended ceiling is used as the main covering, while additional, decorative elements are created from plasterboard. The photo shows a real bedroom design of 13 square meters. It can be seen that this approach is used quite often.
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.
Minimalism
One of the most popular styles of our time. It is relevant not only within a limited space, but also in large rooms.

Minimalism is popular not only among young people, but also among older people. It found a response in virtually all types of rooms of different sizes, and everywhere established itself as one of the most optimal.
It allows you to easily use the features of the layout, turning advantages into disadvantages.
Loft style bedroom with dressing room
This style values freedom and unlimited space. Zoning is not welcome in it, and it is usually used to decorate studios. There are also no partitions in the wardrobes, which makes this option suitable for people who want to save money. To create a dressing room you will need a minimum of furniture and financial investment.
Since the storage system is open, zoning can be done using color or lighting. The inside wall can be whitewashed, aged, or cleaned down to the brick. To create a certain atmosphere in the loft style, metal elements are used, and communications, for example, pipes, are specially put on display. Therefore, metal racks or rods attached to the walls or ceiling are perfect for filling the interior of the dressing room. You can place additional drawers, shelves and hangers on them, which it is also advisable to choose metal ones.
Wooden elements are allowed. The decor can be creative mirrors and glass inserts. To store shoes, you can use this original idea using a ladder:
Triangle
The most suitable solution for small rooms. From above, the structure looks like a right triangle, where the adjacent walls of the bedroom are legs, and the outer fence of the dressing room is the hypotenuse.
Cabinets, shelves, niches for shoes and hangers are located on the walls of the room, and a large mirror or bookshelves are mounted on the fence (on the side of the living 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.
Multi-room apartment
In a house with several rooms, you can recreate a bedroom of 16 square meters. m. in design with a double bed. In addition to the bed itself, you need to think about other components.
People have a full-fledged place where they don’t need to think about options for saving every square meter. A common idea is to provide the bedroom with equipped functionality. Place a work table in the layout plan, which is part of the office, hang shelves with books, and also attach cabinets.
- A room made in the shape of a square means placing a place to sleep away from the doorway. An angle of 90 degrees is maintained relative to the largest wall. The room will be transformed due to the appearance of proportionality. The areas where a few places remain are furnished with everything necessary.
- The crib is also placed in the center if the room is square in shape. The length from the window to the door is taken into account. Furniture should be placed so that the bed is located near the window.
Get rid of clutter in the interior of a 16 sq.m. bedroom. m. will be helped by widespread zoning. Whether it's a bedroom or a living room of 16 sq. m. or one room for relaxation, it is important to take the measures necessary in the layout. Buy screens or highlight the divisions with color. Lots of options to suit every budget and skill level.
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.
TV
Many people place a TV or projector in the bedroom. This is not dictated by fashion or stylistic decisions. Everything is at your discretion. In order to combine quality - size - price, it is worth purchasing a soundbar.
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.
Interior decoration
Before drawing up a bedroom project with a wardrobe, consider in detail all the nuances of the interior. The main qualities of the interior furnishings are convenience and functionality.
Of course, some changes can be made to the interior later, after the structure has been in use for some time. Experience of use will tell you what needs to be changed: add cabinets, remove unnecessary shelves, etc.
But this can be avoided by carefully considering everything at the preliminary stage. As a visual example, use a closet, chest of drawers, or other furniture that you have used before. This will make it easier to imagine the required number of niches, shelves, and rods for hangers.
Simple recommendations will help you create a convenient ergonomic layout:
- the minimum wardrobe area is 2 m², otherwise its operation will be extremely inconvenient;
- in a compartment, high under the ceiling or in a poorly accessible place, they store things that are used less often than others;
- It is better to keep small toiletries in drawers or boxes;
- At the planning stage, allocate space for storing ties, belts and scarves. For these purposes, you can purchase special accessories;
- It would not be superfluous to equip the structure with a folding ladder to facilitate access to the upper shelves;
- transparent lids of cabinets and drawers make it easier to find the right thing;
- shoes are stored downstairs, preferably in separate boxes.
With the right approach, even in a small area you can create a completely functional and spacious room for clothes and shoes.
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.
Decor, selection of textiles, curtains
Decor in bedroom design plays no less important role than furniture or color scheme. Since the center of the bedroom is the bed, its decoration should be given special importance. Choose with passion a blanket for her, as well as pillows that should match the style. An original option is to choose textiles for the bed to match the color of the wallpaper. Use LED strips to create a floating bed. Behind it you can display a large picture or use modern photo wallpaper.
Remember that each item placed in the bedroom carries a special message and affects the overall interior of the bedroom. Don't arrange accessories thoughtlessly. For example, painted vases will not look good in a loft room, and paintings in the pop art style are not suitable for classics. An accessory that you want to highlight visually is better accentuated with lighting.
Curtains are another important element of textiles that determine how your bedroom will look. However, in this case, curtains should play another role - to reliably protect from the sun when you need it. Therefore, it is better to choose curtains of thick textures that completely cover the windows. And their color should also be combined with the shade of the finish.
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.
Air conditioner
The issue of placing an air conditioner in the bedroom always causes controversy. Since experts consider it almost the main element of the interior, they suggest placing it directly at the head of the bed. But designers are not so loyal. They prefer to hide such devices. And the best place for its location is considered to be the space above the door or in the openings for laying electrics.
But be that as it may, the final word remains with the customer. And only he decides where the air conditioner will be located. And no matter how much designers and installers argue, they are unanimous on one thing - the air conditioner should not blow on a sleeping person. Consequently, the equipment is never installed opposite the bed, in order to avoid diseases.
