Probably the most convenient device for storing things is the dressing room. After all, it's really great when all the details of the wardrobe are in one place and you can immediately assess how well the newly selected set is combined, and not run from room to room - take, try on, see. Moreover, you can make a dressing room in a very small area: the minimum is 1.5-2 square meters. Even in a small apartment it is possible to fence such a space. Moreover, it has been noticed that it is more convenient to use them if you have assembled a dressing room with your own hands. It's simple: no one knows your habits better than you and will not be able to arrange things in the right order. So, let's start creating a dressing room on our own.

Dressing room sizes

Our realities are such that most people live in small apartments, where every centimeter counts. Therefore, size issues often play a decisive role. The smallest dressing room can have an area of ​​1.2 - 1.5 square meters. meters. It is a rectangle with sides 1.5 * 1 meter or so. Also, a small dressing room can be angular - this option is even more spacious than a rectangular one of the same area: with an equal area, the length of the sides along which shelves can be placed and storage systems will be greater.

The smallest dressing rooms: 1.5 by 2.5 m and 2 by 2 m

Rectangular mini-dressing room with one-sided placement of things should have a width of at least 1.2 m, with two-sided - at least 1.5 m. The depth should be such that it was possible to "enter" there. This is how wardrobes, in the main, differ from sliding wardrobes, and also the ability to install any doors.

Ventilation and lighting

Even in mini-dressing rooms, and even more so in large ones, ventilation is necessary: ​​in a closed room, a musty smell quickly appears, which no perfume will mask. Therefore, even when planning, find a way to make ventilation in the dressing room.

The principle of its structure is no different: in the upper part of any of the walls, preferably further from the door, an exhaust hole is made, where the fan is inserted. The inflow is provided either in the gap under the doors or in special inlets located just above the floor level. They are covered with decorative grilles. The outlet of the ventilation duct should be in the general ventilation system, you can take it out into the street or under the roof of a private house with plastic boxes. Air exchange organized in this way effectively maintains the normal state of things.

The principles of organizing the ventilation of the dressing room through the bathroom

When choosing a fan, you should pay special attention to the noise level. Since walk-in closets are often made in or close to bedrooms, noise should be kept to a minimum. It can be controlled with the help of automation or switched on / off by conventional or.

The lighting should be bright. Firstly, it is necessary to quickly find things, and secondly, dressing rooms are often used as fitting rooms in order to immediately see how the chosen things are combined. In this case, the mirror is usually placed on the door or mirrored doors are made. In this case, the light should be directed not only to the shelves and storage systems, but also to the fitting area.

You can use any type of lamp, but it makes sense to make them turn on from motion sensors. We opened the doors - the lamps went on, there was no movement, they turned off. There is also an option for swing doors, there are lamps with buttons that light up when the door is opened and turn off when they are closed.

Where to do

Even in small apartments there are "appendicitis" which cannot be used normally. It is in such a place that you can make a dressing room.

Another popular option is a pantry. In this case, everything is generally simple. You remove all unnecessary things, change the doors and install the appropriate filling: racks, racks, baskets, shelves.

If there is nothing like this in the apartment, part of the room is fenced off - the end or corner - you need to look at the layout. The corner dressing room is good in that it allows you to use the most difficult areas to equip, namely the corners. Especially if there are closely spaced doors in two adjacent walls. This zone is considered "dead": you cannot put anything there except for a small corner shelf: everything will interfere. Roughly the same option - two windows or a window and a door.

If the area turns out to be too small, it is possible to increase it slightly by making the wall not even, but with the middle extended slightly. The area of ​​the room will not greatly decrease from this, but things can fit much more.

They also make them on the loggia - by making part of the glazing opaque or by building a wall. Only here you can't do without insulation - it's unpleasant to put on cold things in winter.

The second option is suitable for wide loggias. In them, shelving can be placed along a long wall.

In the corridor or hallway, a corner or "appendicitis" is also fenced off, if the layout allows. Here everyone can decide only in place: is there a place for this or not.

Most of all, the dressing room is appropriate in the bedroom. There is simply an optimal place to store things: in the sense that it is more convenient to dress here. Therefore, for these purposes, part of the room is fenced off. In this case, this technology is necessary for a long time and has been worked out to the smallest detail. It won't take a lot of time even in the absence of experience: a maximum of two or three days for assembly and finishing.

If you make a partition from gypsum plasterboard or GVP according to all the rules, you will need double cladding, and this is "eaten" centimeters, or even meters of area. Therefore, most often they are sheathed only from the outside, but with two sheets with overlapping seams. When assembling the frame, do not forget to make reinforced racks for fastening the door. With single sheathing, naked profiles remain inside, but it is convenient to hang shelves-baskets for things on them. If you plan to do so, then take them with a thick wall: so that they normally hold the weight.

The partition can be made from or from a plate. This is an option for those who don't like messing around with putty. But you need to choose a lamination that will fit into the interior without any problems.

Doors for the dressing room

What is good about the do-it-yourself dressing room is that you can put any doors: sliding, like "coupe", accordion, ordinary swing, hinged on rollers. You can even get by with all the bases. This option is called a wardrobe rack, but then everything will have to be kept in perfect order: everything is in plain sight. The most budgetary option is blackout curtains or something like a Japanese curtain.

If the front wall turns out to be large, part of it can be stationary, part - occupied by doors. In this case, it is also possible to somehow use it on stationary walls. If desired, the doors can be made in full width, or consisting of fragments.

A variant of a dressing room in the attic: a side part with a low ceiling is occupied under it. Full width doors - easier to get to things

The design can be anything, as long as it fits into the look of the room. If desired, they can be made to match the walls so that it is not visible, but you can - bright and conspicuous.

Arrangement: filling and storage systems

If the area is limited, it makes no sense to make furniture made of wood, MDF or chipboard in the dressing room. They take away precious centimeters of the area, and even interfere with the movement of air. Another drawback: redoing something is problematic.

Furniture of the "standard" type takes up too much space

Recently, the general trend is the installation of lightweight metal storage systems. They are modular and assembled on special racks. The racks can be attached in two ways - to the walls or to the ceiling and floor: different manufacturers make different systems. And already on these racks they hang everything that is necessary.

The posts can have notches along their entire length, which makes it possible to install any element at any height. These are the most mobile systems that can be easily and easily modified - simply by hanging from one row of notches-hooks to another, arbitrarily changing the height of the shelves and baskets, and other elements.

There are rectangular posts with grooves cut on both sides. In these grooves, the necessary accessories are attached to the clamps.

Please note that there are different shelves and drawers - made of wood or wood materials, metal - chrome-plated or painted. They can be retractable, they can be put one on top of another or on shelves.

All of these systems are sold: racks and a list of different accessories. But they are produced mainly in European countries, because the price "bites". An economical version of equipment for a dressing room can be made independently from a round chrome-plated furniture pipe and various fasteners to it. It turns out that this furniture is not as mobile as we would like, but it costs significantly less.

Appliances for placing clothes

In addition to standard and not-so-standard drawers-shelves, there are interesting special options. For example - skirt women or trousers. Special guides on which the cross bars are fixed, sometimes there are clips on them. They allow you to hang your skirts / trousers straight and not be afraid that they will fall. It is convenient if such a hanger slides out, allowing you to inspect all the contents.

One of the options for filling the dressing room is a bracket for skirts or trousers

This device can be replaced by a simpler one, but much cheaper - a hanger with crossbars located one under the other. It is not so convenient, but it allows you to organize your clothes just as well.

There is a retractable design for ties, only it, as a rule, is oriented in a different way and extends in length, although not everyone likes this system, but rather folded into the drawer cells to taste.

There are several ways to place the hangers. The simplest is pipes, more economical (in terms of use of space, but not in terms of money) - tie-like retractable brackets.

Another device is a garment pantograph. This is also a pipe, but it can go down. A kind of lift for clothes. Such a device allows you to use the space right up to the ceiling, and without sacrificing your comfort. It can be attached both to the side walls (the more common option) and to the wall. A handle bar is attached in the middle of the pipe, pulling which you lower it to a horizontal position. The carrying capacity of such devices is usually small (up to 18 kilograms), therefore they are used for light - in terms of weight - clothing.

Furniture pantograph - for light (by weight) clothing

Shoe storage systems

Often there are problems with storing shoes: for some, there are dozens of pairs of them, so it is just right for them to arrange separate dressing rooms. But among the standard sets of equipment there are some interesting ones for storing shoes.

Let's start with the retractable system. It is in IKEA. Pins with shoe modules mounted on a movable frame. Convenient and compact.

There are mini-chests of drawers that do not take up almost space, but are hung on the walls, there are hanging organizers that can be easily placed on a horizontal pipe.

These are mini dressers on the wall

In general, there are many interesting ideas for shoes that allow you to place them compactly and at the same time conveniently. Some are in the fog gallery.

Such "swivel" drawers are very convenient not only for shoes, but also for small things and linen. The way to store boots is on hangers with clothespins.

There are very inexpensive options. For example, a seasonal one that is currently in use can be stored on a mesh with reversible hooks or wire shelves. You've probably seen similar ones in stores. This is a mesh or perforated panel on which hooks / shelves are hung. Convenient: you can move it under any type of shoe, make more or less distance.

Economy option for storing shoes - mesh with hooks and shelves

Hanging such a grid is not a problem - even on the wall, even on the side of a cabinet or door. Hooks and shelves simply cling to the bars. This option is ideal when you are short of money and space. If you like the idea but need something more presentable, make or find a perforated metal shield on the frame. Hooks are also inserted into it "with a bang".

Modification - hook shield

In general, when arranging a dressing room and a limited budget, it is worth looking for storage systems not in furniture stores - on-line or off-line. Better take a look at sites that sell shop equipment. There are many interesting gadgets that save space: shops also try to display the maximum amount of goods on the minimum area. For example, these are the shoe racks.

If you attach wheels to the first, you get an excellent pull-out system. The price for such equipment is much less than for similar equipment, but which is sold in furniture.

Making a dressing room project

As you can see, there are a lot of ideas for equipment and storage systems. But so that it does not turn out that the purchased excellent thing simply does not become in your wardrobe, you need to draw a plan on which you indicate all the dimensions and sizes. It is drawn on a scale, then mark on it those parts that must be required. They are drawn on the same scale. If everything "fits", armed with dimensions (you have them, or you can measure in the figure and, using the scale, calculate the real values), you can go to the store to choose systems.

There is another approach. Find out the dimensions of the fixtures and systems you like (mounting dimensions), cut them out to scale from cardboard or thick paper and try to combine everything. If you succeed, great, you can buy. No - look for other options. As a result of your efforts, you should get approximately the same layout as in the photo.

To make it convenient to use the equipment and get things, you must maintain the following distances:

• minimum distance from shelf to shelf:
  • when storing things - 30 cm;
  • when storing shoes (without hairpins) - 20 cm;
• shirts, jackets, jackets - 120 cm;
• pants:
  • folded in half - 100 cm;
  • in length - 140 cm;
• compartment for outerwear - coat - 160-180 cm;
• for dresses - 150-180 cm.

At the very top, we set aside space for clothes of a different season or rarely used things. Often there is a place for a vacuum cleaner below, and a built-in ironing board is made in one of the cabinets.

For those who like to work with their hands, there are several dimensional schemes so that you can equip the dressing room with your own hands (at least partially).

Having arranged a separate room for clothes, you will forever decide where to store them. A plasterboard wardrobe is the best option in terms of price and quality. This article will be useful to those who need a drywall dressing room that can be made by hand. She will guide you through all the stages of creating a dressing room, from concept to finishing.

The secret of order in a two-room apartment is that it has three rooms :-)

Ideas for a drywall dressing room

In the beginning, we looked at what solutions there are in general, and provided some ideas for inspiration. Then the work plan is summarized, from the project to the rough finish. The following are sections detailing each stage of the work. To create a dressing room with your own hands from drywall, you will need some power tool skills. If you have - feel free to get to work.

But first, you need to come up with your dressing room. The first question is where it will be located. The dressing room can be equipped with:

• in the bedroom,
• in the hall,
• in the living room.

Drywall wardrobe in the bedroom can replace not only a wardrobe for you. It is quite possible to store bed linen, a vacuum cleaner and an ironing board in it. But this is unlikely to be a comfortable place for shoes, a backpack or downhill skis.

It may be better to separate a part of the hall or corridor for the dressing room. The main thing is that the dimensions are at least 1.2 meters wide and 2 meters long. The wardrobe differs from the closet in that you can enter it. There should be space inside to take a couple of steps and turn around. The filling - shelves and rods - is located around the perimeter.

Drywall is very easy to use. It allows you to carry out almost any idea. A plasterboard partition for a dressing room can be either rectangular or located at any angle, or even round.

The door can be:

• swing;
• sliding (compartment);
• door-book, or "accordion";
• A curtain instead of a door.

The filling can be from ready-made sets. The stores sell metal shelving systems specifically for dressing rooms. Wooden shelving from Ikea may also work well. Shelves can be made of laminated chipboard, as in conventional wardrobes, or even natural wood.

Finally, the filling can be made from the same drywall. This is not the easiest option, but the location, size of the shelves and their appearance will be exactly what you need. Built-in lamps can be made in drywall shelves.

All shelves in the dressing room are made of plasterboard

What is the filling of the dressing room:

• shelves,
• hanger bars,
• hooks,
• baskets (including sliding ones),
• shoe racks or shoe racks,
• drawers,
• sections with doors,
• makeup table
• or just a mirror.

In very confined spaces, it is best to avoid drawers and doors. Think about what kind of content you really need. Try not to chase the unusual, let convenience and functionality be in the foreground.

Work plan for creating a masterpiece

From the next section, a detailed description of how to make a drywall dressing room with your own hands will begin. And this one will be a short guide. Peek at it like a cheat sheet as you work.

1. Project... The future dressing room must be drawn. It doesn't matter how good or bad you draw; the main thing is to clearly understand the location of all components and their sizes.

1. Markup... The drawing must be carefully transferred to the walls, floor and ceiling. Working with drywall always starts with accurate markings.
2. Frame and electrical... We are building the "skeleton" of the future dressing room, stretching the wires.
3. Drywall... We sheathe the frame with plasterboard. The dressing room takes on its final shape.
4. Finishing... It remains to putty drywall. After that, it will be possible to arrange a dressing room according to your taste.

Project

Measure the room or place in which the dressing room will be located. Sketch the plan, apply all dimensions. Start creating your dressing room right on this plan.

The interior space is usually divided into vertical modules. Each such module can consist of shelves from top to bottom, or contain rods for shoulders (sometimes the rods are placed in two levels), or, most often, one rod and shelves at the bottom and top.

What dimensions should the filling elements be? Measure the shelves in the closet and start from these numbers. The convenient depth of the shelves is 40-50 cm, the height is 30-40 cm. It is possible to provide for storage of things in baskets - then the dimensions of the shelves should correspond to them.

Adjustable shelf system

It is inconvenient to use shelves that are 15 cm taller than your height. Often one solid shelf is made at the top for seasonal storage.

The height of the bar for short items of clothing - jackets, shirts, jackets - 90 cm, for long - coats, dresses - 1.3 m. A floor-length dress for a height of 170 cm will take one and a half meters in height. You also need to leave space above the bar - the more, the more convenient it is to use.

Laminated chipboard filling. Barbells in several levels for clothes of different lengths

After assembling the guide profile, install the stands. Just in case, cut them a few millimeters shorter.

Corner dressing room made of plasterboard - partition frame

The frequency of the racks is 60 cm, based on the most common dimensions of the drywall sheet: 1.2 m wide and 2.5 m long. Drywall sheets are usually installed vertically. Each sheet must be attached with self-tapping screws along the entire perimeter and along the longitudinal center line.

Accordingly, the middle of the first pillar should be exactly 60 cm from the wall. The middle of the next one is 60 cm from the middle of the previous one. After inserting the stand into the guide profiles, align it and fix it with a notch or short metal screws. According to the technology, the cutter needs to make two punctures on each side, diagonally.

Next, you need to make jumpers for attaching the transverse edges of the gypsum plasterboard. It is important to arrange the sheets so that their joints do not intersect with a cross. Therefore, the middle of the first two lintels will be at a height of 2.5 meters from the floor, and the next ones - 2.5 meters from the ceiling. You may have other sheet sizes; the main thing is to mount them randomly.

The lintels can be made from a guide rail - it is easier to attach to the uprights.

One way to attach a jumper to a rack

The doorway must be reinforced. To do this, insert wooden blocks into the profiles that form the opening, and secure them with self-tapping screws through the metal.

After finishing the partition frame, sew it up from the inside with drywall (this work is described in the next section). But before doing this, make sure you have installed all the necessary jumpers. Additional jumpers will be needed in those places where the shelves will be adjacent to the partition, and in the places where the rods are attached.

Plasterboard shelf frame

The filling of the dressing room conventionally consists of vertical and horizontal elements - partitions and shelves. Make all the partitions first, then all the shelves.

The frame of each element is a rectangular frame made of a guide profile, if necessary, filled with jumpers with a certain pitch. These frames should be attached on three sides to walls, floor, ceiling and other adjacent elements.

The principle of creating drywall shelves

Make sure that the front profile is straight: horizontally in the partitions and vertically in the shelves.

Assemble the frames of the vertical partitions first. Install jumpers at the attachment points of the shelves and cover the side planes with drywall. Fasten the shelves with self-tapping screws to the lintels through the drywall. Even if the shelves themselves are not made of drywall, it is better to fix them in the same way.

The frames of the shelves should be reinforced with jumpers from the rack-mount profile with a pitch of 40 cm. Of course, in shelves 50-60 cm long, it is better to make a jumper in the middle than 40 cm from the edge. Sheathed with plasterboard, these shelves will withstand a solid load.

Route the wires before the frame is sheathed. Be sure to thread them into the corrugated tube, do not skimp on safety.

Sheathing with GVL sheets

Plasterboard sheets are screwed to the profiles with drywall screws (black, with frequent thread pitch). Along the edge of the self-tapping screws go every 15-20 cm, in the middle - every 20-25 cm. From the longitudinal edges of the whole sheet, 10-15 mm should be retreated, from the transverse edges - at least 15 mm. And at least 5 cm should be retreating from the corners.

Rough planer, or rough rasp

The cut edges (including the factory ends of the whole sheet) need to be chamfered. Cut them at an angle or use a special plane to cut them. It's easier to do this before you screw the sheet.

Start sheathing the dressing room partition from the inside, from the wall. Place the whole sheet upright. All edges must lie on the profiles. If any part of the edge has nothing to attach to, add a jumper or post.

Fasten the sheet not only along the edges, but also to all the profiles that are under it. Tighten the screws carefully, slightly sinking the cap.

The hat should push through the paper, but not tear it

After securing the first sheet, cover the remaining space above it with a piece. To cut a piece, you will need a sharp-edged knife, such as a wallpaper or a clerical knife. Cut the paper in a straight line (use a rule or post profile as a ruler). Break the drywall along the notch, then cut the back of the paper.

Every girl, woman dreams of a fashionable dressing room in the apartment. This design is becoming popular. This is very convenient, even to some extent beneficial, because things will be in place, and the room will become more spacious, since additional cabinets and other pieces of furniture are no longer needed for things.

There you can place clothes that you are using now and those that are not yet time to wear. In addition to clothes, they store various accessories and shoes, as well as an iron and an ironing board. All dresses, blouses and other things will be in one place, where you can change clothes. Dressing room will not take up much space

Dressing room can save space in the bedroom

How to build a drywall dressing room with your own hands

If you are the owner of a small apartment, there is no reason to refuse a dressing room. It will help you save a lot of space. Be sure to adhere to the rules, the result of the work done will delight you. A dressing room is a small room that should fit into the overall environment, become an integral part of the room. Think carefully about where the door will be located to ensure optimal access to things.

Capacity and versatility are important when planning a dressing room. In it, if the apartment is small, you can store an ironing board, dryer, vacuum cleaner. The question of the cost of construction is very relevant. Opportunities are different for everyone, and expenses should not undermine the family budget.

When creating a dressing room, follow the rules for organizing such a design.

The subtleties of designing a wardrobe: requirements for a room for a wardrobe

The minimum size of the dressing room should be 1x1.5 meters, but not less, with this size it is quite possible to accommodate the necessary. Ideally, if the area is larger, so that there is enough room for changing clothes, but if the room does not allow for a large dressing room, this is also a good option.

To prevent things from absorbing unpleasant odors, it is advisable to equip ventilation. The area where outerwear and dresses will be located should be 50 cm deep and 1.5 m high, for short items: 50 cm deep, 1 m high. An auxiliary storage area can be equipped on top.

It is advisable to make ventilation in the dressing room.

Interior options

When all the work on the construction of the structure is completed, you need to think about the inner content of the dressing room, how to place shelves, racks, brackets, additional boxes. The area for casual wear should be in an easily accessible place. The upper part of the dressing room is used as compartments for clothes on hangers. You can use a device that allows you to lower the sections.

If you want to store shoes in the same room, you will need lockers, preferably lockable. At the very top, you can place departments for things that you hardly use. If the area of ​​the dressing room allows, install a large mirror.

Shoes can be stored in the dressing room

It is important to think over everything correctly when organizing a dressing room in advance to determine the sectors for clothes, shoes, things and accessories, their location. This will make it easy to find what you need and helps to increase the life of the items stored there.

To properly organize the space in the dressing room, you can use the advice of experts

Plasterboard installation

How to make a drywall dressing room with your own hands? If you wish, you can independently make a dressing room, if you are familiar with the construction business, it will not be difficult for you, and for beginners it may not seem so difficult. Not everyone in the apartment has an extra room for equipping a dressing room, but you can build it from drywall in any part of the room.

Having prepared everything you need, get down to work. First you need to make a drawing, then transfer the dimensions to the walls. It is better to mark the places where the guides will be with masking tape.

If you are familiar with the construction business, it will not be difficult to make a dressing room yourself.

The markup is done, start assembling the frame. We fix the support bar with dowels to the wall so that it is level, we use the building level. We place vertical profiles in the grooves, they should be with brackets for hooks and shelves, and fix them. The distance between the profiles should be 60 cm. We mount the guides on the ceiling and on the floor. We place vertical posts in the grooves. We fix the crossbar and hooks with screws.

After the markings are applied, you can cut drywall

The next stage of work is cutting drywall sheets of the required size. Then we screw it onto the self-tapping screws inside the structure. We trim the gypsum board on the outside. We use mineral wool as insulation and place it inside the sheathing. A lamp is suitable as a lighting inside the dressing room, but if there is no outlet inside, then use an LED strip or spotlights. For this design, the most ideal option would be a sliding mirror door. This will visually expand the room, it will be lighter.

Now we process the sheets of gypsum board and seams with putty. Then we prime the surface. Let it dry well. Moving on to finishing, wallpapering, painting, you can sheathe it with wood or other material. It all depends on your taste and, of course, financial capabilities. The main thing is that the finish is in harmony with the overall interior. It is better to use calm colors inside the dressing room.

After installing the structure, you need to putty the seams

Tools and materials

Of the tools you will definitely need: a building level, a spatula, self-tapping screws, dowels (6x50 mm), a special knife for cutting gypsum boards, a screwdriver with nozzles, a perforator.

What materials are needed for work:

• drywall (the permissible thickness is 15 mm, since the structure will not be subjected to loads, and the humidity is within the normal range, it makes no sense to spend money for the auxiliary properties of the material),
• profile PS-2 5x5 cm, guide profile, mineral wool (for room isolation),
• putty,
• primer,
• Chipboard + fittings for drawers and shelves,
• mesh for sealing seams,
• door + accessories necessary for it,
• everything you need for finishing,
• wires,
• lamps,
• socket.

Before starting work, you need to prepare all the necessary tools

Finishing a new dressing room

What style, what color scheme will be for the dressing room to decide for you, show your design skills. Here you need to take into account the type of dressing room, this is a separate room or it is located inside the room.

For finishing inside, choose materials that are suitable in style and suitable for wet cleaning. You should not use fabric as a decoration because of its property of absorbing moisture, attracting dust. Also, do not lay a rug. Materials suitable for interior decoration of the dressing room are PVC film, plastic panels, wood or MDF, washable paint. So rely on your taste and financial capabilities, do not be afraid to experiment.

For finishing the dressing room, use materials that do not absorb moisture and dust.

The flooring can be the same as in the room where the dressing room is located. You can use laminate, linoleum, parquet, it is better to refuse carpets. Ceiling decoration is not so important, leave it unchanged or use wallpaper, panels, stretch ceiling, or even just paint.

Any floor covering can be used

Convenient dressing room in a niche: are the efforts justified?

Often in old houses, or rather, in apartments, there is such a design in the layout as a niche. How can you use it? One of the options is to equip a dressing room with your own hands. It will perfectly fit into the interior and you will not have to allocate space for it in another room, especially if the area does not allow. A walk-in closet in a niche will allow you to avoid unnecessary expenses for its arrangement, and there is no need to buy a wardrobe that will take up this entire small area. Better to spend money on "loft" and "bowser" - these special designs have mobile pedestals, which will simplify the work. When choosing dressing room doors, be guided by where the niche is located so that they match the interior.

A wardrobe has always been an integral attribute of a bedroom (if, of course, its dimensions allow it). At all times, he looked different and had different sizes - from the most compact to the largest compartment with a full wall. Not so long ago, different types of redevelopment of houses and apartments have become common in our country, and the bedroom is no exception.

Replacing the wardrobe in the bedroom with a full dressing room, you can significantly save space not only in the bedroom, but also from part of the hallway and other rooms. The dressing room is a multifunctional room, a kind of pantry in which you can store a lot of things.

Namely:

• Clothes;
• Linen;
• Toilet accessories;
• Cosmetics;
• Shoes;
• Outerwear;
• Bags;
• Cosmetics, etc.

In many apartments, the area is not enough to store the same stocks of household chemicals and other household items, so often all this is placed in a dressing room.

Many people dream of such a small room, but not everyone can build it. With drywall, it is quite possible to do it yourself, having invested a minimum of costs.

So where do you start building a drywall dressing room in your bedroom?

Drafting a drywall dressing room

First of all, it is important to determine for yourself the dimensions of the future dressing room, its shape and filling. The choice of location and the next steps will depend on this. At the same time, one should not forget about the area of ​​the bedroom itself, so that in the end the dressing room does not take up most of the room. In shape, the dressing room can be square, triangular or rectangular, in the form of a huge closet all over the wall.

When drawing up a design project for a bedroom, it is important to choose the right place for the future dressing room.

In order to choose the right size of the dressing room, it is important to decide on its purpose. It can be used simply for storing things, like a wardrobe, or as a changing room.

How to choose the size of the dressing room:

• If the dressing room is planned only for storing things, the distance from the facade to the wall can vary from 0.5 to 1.2 m;
• In the case of a dressing room, its width should not be less than 1.5 m.

The most convenient option is a square-shaped dressing room. In it, everything is in quick access, and there is space for movement. This dressing room can be equipped with a mirror and a dressing table.

A drawing of all shelves, brackets and pull-out sections for storage must be drawn up in advance so that you can save on shelving and attach all this directly to the frame of the partition.

There is no specific algorithm for drawing up a plan for a dressing room: everyone plans a room in accordance with their needs and preferences. But before purchasing materials and starting installation, it is advisable to have a detailed drawing with dimensions and parameters. It will help you save money and avoid mistakes during construction.

Do-it-yourself drywall dressing room: tools and materials

To build a dressing room, you will need a set of tools for working with drywall, as well as spatulas, a perforator, a drill, metal scissors, a grinder, etc. Depending on the filling of the dressing room, you may need different materials. If all sections are made to order, accordingly, you only need to equip a room for them.

To build a room you will need:

• Drywall;
• Wood or metal profiles;
• Fasteners (screws, dowels, etc.);
• Flooring;
• Plinth;
• Aluminum wire for electrical wiring;
• Switches, socket boxes and sockets (in accordance with the project);
• Wallpaper (it is better to take a more durable look);
• Putty (universal or start and finish);
• Primer.

If the filling of the dressing room is planned to be made from improvised materials (remnants of OSB after floor insulation, old furniture, etc.), the missing materials are determined individually.

How to make a drywall dressing room with your own hands: stages

To begin with, markings are made on the wall, in accordance with the drawing: a profile will be mounted on it. Next, the supporting bar is attached with dowels. It must be installed strictly according to the level, since the quality of the entire structure will depend on this. A rack is inserted into the grooves of the bearing profile - later shelves, crossbars, boxes and other storage systems (using self-tapping screws) will be attached to it.

The drywall sheets must be cut according to the drawing so that they have the correct size and shape.

GKL is attached inside the frame with self-tapping screws. This must be done with care so as not to push the material. All communications should be thought out in advance (heating pipes, electrical wiring, etc. can pass through the dressing room).

1. In the case of a soundproofing device in a dressing room, mineral wool, foam or other insulation material is laid on the outside of the frame.
2. Also, the dressing room needs a wiring device. A couple of sockets and a few eyes for lighting in the room are a must. The wiring is laid under drywall, lamps and socket boxes in the material are easy to mount.
3. The next step is to cover the frame from the outside with plasterboard. When sheathing the frame, you should immediately take into account the location of doors, decorative elements and other details on the gypsum plasterboard wall.
4. Next is the installation of the door. For a dressing room of a rectangular or triangular shape, a sliding door would be the best option, and a square room can be separated by a swing door. To save money on installing the door, you can fix a plastic cornice along the width of the opening and hang it with textiles.
5. The last stage involves sealing drywall joints and preparing the surface for finishing.

In terms of design, a good option would be not to distinguish the dressing room from the general background of the bedroom, and to decorate its walls in the same way as the room. This method will organically fit the dressing room into the overall interior and visually increase the space (if necessary).

By designing and assembling a drywall dressing room yourself, you can save a significant amount of money. Storage sections can be made to order according to a special project, but it is more profitable to assemble the structure with your own hands, using materials from the old cabinet. Design, experiment, use your knowledge and imagination, as well as information from the Internet. The main thing - do not be afraid and you will succeed!

A walk-in closet is a designated area in a room where items of clothing will be stored. Usually dressing rooms are made in the bedroom, where people most often change clothes, but it can be built in another convenient place. A drywall dressing room saves not only space, but also money.

When there are too many clothes and they are scattered literally everywhere, then even a small dressing room of 3-4 square meters saves the day. Using drywall to create it, you can significantly save on building materials.

The standard depth of the shelves is 50 cm (no longer required), and the distance between them does not exceed 40 cm. The parameters of the place for the bar with clothes depend on the type of clothing. Perhaps you will have only shirts and jackets there, or maybe you need to provide a place for evening dresses.

In the project, do not forget about the thickness of the walls, otherwise it often turns out that the dimensions are smaller than planned. The thickness of the walls consists of the width of the profile used and the thickness of the drywall with which it is sheathed.

Often, a drywall dressing room is left without doors. At least they are not taken into account in the project. The width of the door should be 80 cm (or at least 60 cm). With them, many have a real trouble. Doors made of plasterboard or other material are always a problematic place for a dressing room due to the complexity of their installation. Someone uses a sliding door system, someone chooses a swing structure. Some refuse doors altogether in order to fool less. Everyone makes this choice independently.

Preparation of materials, tools and other devices

When all the preliminary work has been completed and there is an understanding of how much of what is needed, then it's time to move on to purchasing. For work, you will need the following consumables:

• ordinary drywall 12.5 mm thick. It is necessary to calculate the required area in advance and convert it to the number of sheets, taking into account the cutting;
• metal profile 50x50 mm. The design is quite simple and without additional weights, so one type of standard profile can be dispensed with;
• self-tapping screws for metal 25 mm or 35 mm for fastening drywall;
• dowels for fixing profiles to the floor and ceiling.

Since a drywall dressing room will need finishing, a primer and putty will also be required. In addition, the following working tools will be needed:

• knife for cutting drywall sheets;
• metal shears for profile trimming;
• a cutter for fastening profiles to each other (you can use small screws for metal);
• screwdriver and drill for screwing in screws and creating holes for dowels;
• roller with a spatula for primer and putty;
• level.

Some advise for some reason to insulate the dressing room, but if it is in the bedroom, then it makes no sense. Even in other heated rooms, insulation will only be an additional cost item that will not bring any benefit. An important point is lighting. It is not needed for small areas, but light is necessary for a large dressing room. Therefore, you should purchase the necessary wires and lighting fixtures.

This is a more or less standard list of what is required, but it can be expanded. For example, hinges, door handles, sliding door systems, etc. may be required.

Assembling the frame from a metal profile

It looks like a simple frame for a dressing room

Now it's time to talk about how to make a drywall dressing room with your own hands. You need to transfer the drawing to the wall, floor and ceiling so that you can see where to attach the profiles. A frame will be assembled from a metal profile, so you need to mark everything correctly. Since the dimensions of the structure are small, you can manage it with a level, tape measure and a pencil. The profile is used instead of the ruler.

The places where the profile will be fixed in the wall are marked on the floor, wall and ceiling. A step of 40-60 cm is enough. In these places, the surface is drilled under the dowels (the dowels themselves measuring 6x40 mm will do quite well). The profile is applied to the surface and holes are drilled in it, and then it is fastened with hammer screws. This is how the profile is attached in all places where it touches the wall, ceiling or floor. Someone uses a rack profile for these purposes, and the rest is assembled from guides. Others prefer to carry out all work with a guide profile. None of the options are wrong.

Before mounting the profiles to the wall, ceiling and floor, it is advisable to lay a sealing tape at the attachment points. It is used for additional sound insulation and reduces the vibration level of the entire structure. When things are put on a shelf, doors are closed or coats are hung, there will be much less noise.

When assembling the box, it is important to take into account the space under the door so that the profile does not go along the floor. Since the dressing room is made of plasterboard, additional reinforcement of the frame in the doorway may be required. Also, the entire frame is reinforced around the perimeter with jumpers that are inserted into the assembled box with a pitch of 60 cm. The racks are attached to the frame with metal screws 25 mm long. You need to make sure that one of the racks goes in the place where the trempel bar is attached.

If the dressing room already has an outlet, then great. If not, then you need to think about how to bring it through the profiles. You should also do the wiring at this stage if there are several light sources in the dressing room. If you also make drywall shelves, then this will be a very time-consuming dressing room. And such shelves take up a lot of space. But the built-in partitions for dividing the dressing room into sections can come in handy. They are made in the same way as the base of the frame.

Plasterboard cladding and finishing

Drywall is fastened with self-tapping screws in 15-20 cm increments

Sheathe the entire structure with plasterboard begin from the inside. Where possible, whole sheets are used, and in other places they are trimmed. It is important that the edges of the sheets fall on the profile, otherwise their fixation will be problematic. Self-tapping screws with a length of 25 mm (maximum 35 mm) are used for fastening.

You need to screw drywall in all places where it comes into contact with the profile. The screw heads should not stick out, they should be deepened a little to keep the surface smooth.

When a drywall dressing room is sheathed from the inside, then you need to provide a place for sockets, lamps or wire exit. Depends on the project. A cavity is formed between the sheets of drywall (inside and outside the dressing room), in which it is convenient to do the wiring for future lighting. Someone carries out additional insulation and sound insulation, but for a dressing room in the bedroom this is clearly an extra waste of time and money.

When all the drywall sheets are fixed, you need to putty all the joints and screw heads. The joints are additionally reinforced with a reinforcing tape so that they do not cause cracks in the future. It is also necessary to putty all corners. Trim seams must be primed before puttingty so that the mortar does not fall off. After puttingtying, the surface of the dressing room will become uniform and ready for finishing.

Dressing room before and after finishing

Further work depends on the type of finish that is chosen for the dressing room. Its walls can be simply painted or wallpapered. Someone additionally sheathes with decorative panels or plywood. Some people like pasting walls with mirrors.

Finishing touches

In fact, the creation of a drywall dressing room is complete. However, there are a few more points worth paying attention to.

In particular, we are talking about a bar for trembles. The maximum load will go on it in the dressing room, therefore, a high-quality fastening should be carried out. It is best when the bar will be attached not to one drywall, but also to the profile, which is part of the frame. Then the entire load will go not to the gypsum board, but to the profile, which is much more reliable.

The question of doors also remains open. The easiest way is to purchase sliding doors with a special system so as not to do everything yourself. This option will be optimal in terms of space saving. Ventilation is also worth considering. It’s not very good when everything is clogged up.

As for the various shelves, they can be made from different materials. It can be drywall shelves, but you need to be able to make them. If there are too many shelves, then the work will be protracted. You can learn how to make shelves in the dressing room from the video.
