If you know how to make a dressing room from plasterboard with your own hands, then you can easily create in your apartment a new convenient room for storing things and free rooms from everything superfluous.
Make a wardrobe in the bedroom, many dream, and with the help of drywall it is quite possible to carry out in any apartment.
It is not difficult to work with this material, so even a person with little experience in repair and finishing works can make a dressing room from him.
Photo of the stages of creation will help you not to get confused, to follow all steps correctly and to get as a result a beautiful and comfortable dressing room.
Dressing device
Before you begin to create a dressing room, you need to determine the place where it will be located, as well as the size of the future structure, which, in turn, depends on the functions that the building will perform.
The main function of the cloakroom is to store and organize things and clothes.
In addition, such a structure will help you make the other premises of the apartment more free: to release the corridor from the outer clothing, to take unnecessary things from the bedroom, etc.

With the help of a dressing room, you can save a lot of space by abandoning large closets in other rooms, as now you can store clothes in one place.
Finally, the dressing room, made by yourself, can become an ornament in the bedroom or other room where you decide to put it.
The bedroom is not the only convenient place for a dressing room. Moreover, in some apartments it is small and physically can not accommodate such a structure.
If your apartment is a dead end corridor, then the wardrobe can be located here.
Thus, you rationally use the empty space of the corridor, without taking away the square meters in the living rooms.
The presence of niches in the house is another great opportunity for placing a dressing room. However, you need to take into account that the depth will be exactly like a niche.
And if it is not too deep, then it is better to refuse this option.
Another interesting option is to equip the dressing room on the balcony or loggia.
The downside of this idea is that its implementation will require a lot of money from you: the balcony will need to be insulated and quality finishes should be insulated from moisture.
However, if you do it all yourself, it will not be so expensive, and the layout of the dressing room on the balcony will save you a living space.
One of the most common and convenient options for accommodating storage space is a living room. Most dressing rooms are done in the bedroom, simply enclosing part of the space.
The minus of the method is obvious - the loss of living space. However, if the room is not too small, then the dressing room will fit organically, considering that the drywall products are rather compact and occupy a minimum of space.
See how dressing rooms look in the bedroom and other places of the apartment, you can on the photo in the section.

View as many options as possible so that you have ideas about the layout of your design, taking into account the most rational use of space.
To make a quality dressing room, you need a plan, which will reflect all the internal modules and lockers for storing clothes, so that the structure is convenient to use.
The standard dressing room includes several mandatory elements. First of all, it is a crossbeam equipped with tremps, on which hang outer clothing.
You will also need a section at the bottom where shoes will stand. It may be a shelf, or small boxes.
Top of the structure is usually made a place for storing headgear, and on the sides are placed shelves on which will lie the casual clothes.
It's a good idea to make several boxes where you can store underwear, socks and other trifles.
If the whole family uses the dressing room, you need to take this into account and make it more spacious and functional.
Stages of work
After the approximate plan is ready( you can make a dressing room such as in the photo that you liked, but do not come up yourself), you need to prepare the materials and tools that will be needed in the work.
You will need:
- gypsum board;
- metal profiles;
- level;
- minvata( if isolation is needed);
- self-tapping screws
- screwdriver;
- dowels;
- rotary hammer;
- knife;
- putty;
- spatula;
- primer mixture.
In the plan you need to make the dimensions of the future design to make the marking of the walls in accordance with them.
A competent drawing will be necessary for you in the work, so if you have never done the drawings before, refer to the one who has experience, or find the ready version.
If the dimensions are incorrect, then the design does not work either.
In accordance with the drawing, the main components of the structure should be marked with a pencil on the walls. To make it more convenient to put profiles, markup can be done with the help of adhesive tape.
After marking it is necessary to fix the carrier bar on the wall( do it better with dowels), and then check the correctness of its location by the level.
Vertical profiles are inserted into the slots of the bar - later on, the shelves, the crossbar and other parts of the dressing room will be fixed.
Shelves on the brackets are fixed in the construction with the help of screws and a screwdriver. Next, a bar is set up for the tremps, on which the hooks will be placed.
Drywall should be cut according to the dimensions of the drawing into sheets of the correct shape and size. To do this, use a knife.
The finished material must be secured from inside the frame with a screwdriver. You need to do this carefully, becauseDrywall is quite fragile. Use the photo with the steps of the works to make everything right.
If you decide to make insulation, then you need to lay out the mineral wool from the outside of the frame before you begin the lining of the structure.
The layer will make the dressing room warmer and quieter, which is important if you build it on the balcony. But in the bedroom, thermal insulation is optional.
Among other things, in the dressing room you need to hold a light to use it was convenient. Laying the wiring is not harder than assembling the structure itself, and you can easily handle it with your own hands.
In the absence of experience, use the video with the work stages.
Of course, fine, if the wall, which is adjacent to the dressing room, already has an outlet. In this case, you will only need to choose the type of lighting and buy fixtures.
But if there is no socket, it can be done. In this case, you can resort to the services of an electrician and make in the cloakroom dot lighting on the ceiling or upper shelves.
This is the best option for the dressing room, becauseyou can save space as much as possible. Yes, and this looks very stylish.
You can make a rosette yourself, if you have the appropriate experience.
The last step is to frame the plasterboard frame from the outside, fixing the sheets of material on the metal profiles.
If you decide not to carry out lighting, and there are no wires inside the structure, then instead of plating, you can simply paint the dressing room or cover with the same wallpaper as in the bedroom or the room where it is located.

The dressing room can be insulated with a door - it is better to choose a sliding structure. To visually increase the space in the bedroom, you can equip the door with glass.
There is also a simpler and cheaper option - just hang up the entrance with a cloth.
After the creation of the gypsum plasterboard, the dressing room needs finishing. It is necessary to cover the entire surface with putty and primer, paying special attention to joints and seams.
As a final finish, the dressing room can be sewn with a tree, wallpapered or painted.
Best of all, of course, looks like a wooden cover - this will look equally good in the bedroom, corridor or on the balcony. But you can use other options.
In addition to cladding, you can think of any additional decorative finishing: for example, glass, painting, images, etc.

It is best that the dressing room "merge" with the space of the room - so it visually will take up less space, and also organically fit into the space of the room.
You can decorate the dressing room not only from the outside, but also from the inside: paint shelves, or paste, using the technique of decoupage.
Do it all yourself, and you will get a completely professional dressing room at a bargain price.
