Cloakroom in the bedroom - why and why?
The issue of storage and placement of items of clothing, shoes and linen is often not only acute in small residential premises, but also in spacious country houses. However, in the second case, there is more room for allocating a whole room for these needs. Most often, dressing rooms are arranged in the bedroom or in the immediate vicinity of it. It is caused by a number of reasons. Firstly, the bedroom is a private space where we wake up, go to bed and change clothes every time.
Of course, while it is convenient to have at hand all the necessary and hotly loved items of clothing. Secondly, the arrangement of the dressing room in the bedroom allows you to change your image and do not disturb other family members who are busy with their own affairs, for example, in the living room. Thirdly, you do not have to ply in sleep pajamas across the entire area of the living quarters in search of your favorite shirt or business suit, belt or socks. All this will be not only at hand, but also put together in one place - within just a few square meters you can find everything you need.
Another undoubted advantage of placing a dressing room in the bedroom is a real opportunity to limit this room in free space. Even the smallest bedroom can be made cozy and comfortable, unlike the living room. In addition, the presence of a dressing room will save the interior of the room from such "heavy" items as a closet and a chest of drawers, and the center of the bedroom will be a bed. Ironing board, mirror, iron - all this can also "move" into the dressing room.
The layout of the dressing room in the bedroom
For the most complete understanding of which layout will be optimal for a dressing room located in or near the bedroom, you need to consider the most popular options for its arrangement. This is especially important because the layout largely determines the design of the dressing room. The first option - the dressing room is a separate small room adjacent to the bedroom. Characteristic of this solution for modern apartments in new buildings of European type or country houses.
Most often, the area of such a room exceeds 3-4 square meters.m and allows you to easily place all the necessary things. At the same time you have the opportunity to show off in front of a mirror, without fear of destroying everything around. For such cloakrooms, the U-shaped or parallel layout is optimal. Ideally, if the entrance to this room is equipped both in the bedroom and in the corridor. The area of the dressing room in the bedroom should not be less than 2 square meters.m for easy moving in it, placing and choosing clothes.
The second option is to equip the dressing room directly in the bedroom. In this case, you need to carefully assess the layout of the bedroom and, accordingly, the possibility of equipping the dressing room.
It can be placed in an existing niche or fenced space. Most often this wardrobe has an angular layout, and in the presence of a long wall - linear, when all the racks are placed along it one. Angular dressing room - one of the most common options for accommodation. This solution allows you to save room space and rationally use every centimeter of the new room. In this case, it is not recommended to fence off for the dressing room near the window.
Design of a dressing room in the bedroom
So, you decided where your wardrobe will be in the bedroom, now it's time to do her design, both external and internal. If it is a wardrobe, adjacent to the bedroom, then you are free to choose any style of design that you like. However, if the dressing room is placed directly in the bedroom, you will have to try and arrange it so that it becomes a harmonious element of the interior. So, if the main room is decorated in soft pastel colors without "weighting" items of furniture and accessories, then it is necessary to disguise the dressing room with the same finishing materials.
Let in your room there will be a small secret room - outwardly it will be only the fifth wall in the bedroom. The bed is usually set with a headboard to one of the walls of the corner dressing room. If you are a fan of experiments and are not afraid of bright colors in the bedroom - the realm of coziness and peace - then the dressing room can become an attractive accent in the interior. It is enough to paint it in color, contrasting with the basic finish.
Today, combinations of white and red, green and yellow, blue and orange are extremely relevant. As for the interior design of the dressing room, with a small area, all its walls will be occupied with shelves and shelves. This will save you unnecessary trouble. But for the floor is ideal for parquet board or laminate. They create a cozy atmosphere in this small room, comfort when walking on them barefoot and easy to care for - easy enough wet cleaning.
Pay special attention to the doors of the new premises. In the presence of free space as a protective structure can act and the usual swing door. Otherwise, it is recommended to look at the sliding structures or doors - "accordion".
If you want, you can limit yourself to ordinary screen or mobile decorative partition. Just remember that the partition, screen or door is a visible and integral piece of the interior, which should harmonize with it. So, if the bedroom is decorated in a classic style, choose a solid door for the cloakroom from solid wood.
