Closet closet ideas. Pantry-wardrobe - the main features of the organization of space

A large walk-in closet is every woman's dream. Not every apartment, even a decent area, can boast a separate room for storing clothes and shoes. But in almost any living space such as "Khrushchev" there is a pantry. Many people use it for its intended purpose: they store things in it that they often use, these can be seasonal clothes, household items (for example, a vacuum cleaner, a broom, a mop). But such a place can be used with much greater benefit. We will tell you how to make a dressing room from the pantry with your own hands quickly and inexpensively.

Features of the dressing room

Alteration of the pantry into a dressing room allows you to solve a number of important issues. There is no need to purchase or individually order a large spacious closet, which will significantly save family budget. You can rationally zone the premises by changing their parameters, if possible. Most often, pantries in Khrushchev apartments, which, as you know, are small in size, are subjected to such re-equipment. Dressing rooms were originally organized in such dwellings. But over time, for lack of extra free space, they were gradually turned into pantries, in which various things were stored for household needs.

Making a dressing room back from the pantry with your own hands is quite simple, if you know what finishing materials to use, what devices to equip it with, how to arrange them correctly.

Uncomfortable niches and pantries in dwellings of modest size are most noticeable, but their minuses can be easily turned into pluses by complete refurbishment and filling with shelves and shelves, drawers and rods.

If your apartment has a very small pantry or it doesn’t exist at all, then you can make adjustments to the organization of the hallway space. Most often, it is there that the storage for things will not interfere with anyone, there will be free space for it.

The dimensions of the future dressing room depend on the capabilities of a particular apartment and the needs of its owner. But if we talk about average parameters, then usually the height of this room is up to the ceiling itself, the width depends on the capabilities of the wall (1-2 m), the depth is at least 1 m. Depending on the desires and capabilities of the owner, the internal space can be filled with shelves, racks, build mezzanines, install hangers.

Often in apartments there are niches. If there are any in your apartment, arrange a dressing room in their place. To do this, you only need to install a door (it can be made of wood or MDF), construct a mezzanine, shelves, equip it with hooks for clothes.

If the pantry, which could be converted into a room for storing things, is simply not in the apartment, then it must be built as inconspicuous as possible. For this, drywall partitions are made, in which an area is left under the doorway. In such a small room, all the space is fully utilized, up to the ceiling.

If you have storage...

There are two ways to make a small dressing room from the pantry with your own hands:

• replacement of the pantry with a cabinet (it is distinguished by simplicity and speed of execution);
• carrying out the whole complex of works with your own hands.

In the first case, the doors and partitions between the corridor and the pantry are completely removed. Next, they turn to a furniture manufacturing company to order a cabinet of the appropriate size. It is installed in the niche formed after the dismantling of the partition. It is best to choose a wardrobe with compartment doors: this will save space in the hallway. This design, additionally equipped with mirrors, will visually enlarge the room. This type of closet remodeling will save you time.

When choosing the second option, you should prepare for a longer process.

Cleaning the closet space

First you will have to remove all things from the room, choose those that are still to be used. Get rid of unnecessary old rubbish: there is usually plenty of it in such rooms. Next, remove the door from its hinges. If necessary and there is such an opportunity, then the shape of the future room is changed, for example, to U-shaped or linear with the help of plasterboard structures.

measurements

To calculate the parameters of the future dressing room and the amount of materials needed, you will need a tape measure and a marker (they apply the markup result, you need to work with it carefully, because after installing the shelves and racks, the marks should not be visible).

Blanks

It is necessary to prepare materials for future shelving, create blanks for them. The material from which you plan to make them, saw them according to the measurements taken.

Fixing shelves

Shelves are fixed in three ways:

• with the help of dowels;
• metal corners;
• wooden frame (from a bar).

Choose fasteners of your choice. The main thing is that the structures are securely and firmly fixed. But the first method is the least practical, since the shelf, installed on the protruding dowels, is unstable, when resting on its edge, it can turn over. Therefore, it is worth choosing corners or a frame from a bar.

The finished structure of wooden blocks or chipboard is fixed on the wall in the places marked with a marker. Do this with a screwdriver and screws or special glue.

At this stage, regular checking of the correct position of the structure is required using a small building level. Next, you need to install the shelves.
Do not forget that chipboard shelves at the cut points must be edged: this way you can avoid damage to things on the raw edge.

Rod mount

Fasteners for the bar are installed after the shelves are installed. Similar items are best purchased at a store that sells furniture fittings.
In order to place the required number of hangers (trempels) on the bar, the width of the shelves should be at least 58 cm. The distance between the shelves and the bars should not exceed 5 cm.

You can position the clothes rails at different heights. The height of the room, divided into two parts, makes it possible to mount several rods with hangers. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the length of the clothes that they plan to hang on them. The method of dividing the height is rational if you are sure that there will be no long dresses on the hangers on the floor.

After installing the shelves and rods, the former pantry is equipped with full-fledged lighting, doors are installed.

Surface finishing

Perhaps in the future dressing room you will have to update the walls, ceiling and floor, change the door. If the walls of this room are in fair condition, then the cheapest and most practical option is to paint them. Qualitatively painted surfaces do not need special care, they can be washed with water with the addition of various detergents. When you need to carry out the next repair, such walls can be put in order without dismantling the shelves (they just need to be covered with a film to protect against paint). Also, the side surfaces can be pasted over with wallpaper or closed MDF panels. In the latter case, you will have to build a frame from bars or metal profiles, which will “eat” precious centimeters.

As a floor covering, you can use carpet, laminate or linoleum.

The ceiling in the dressing room can be painted in the same way as the walls, or you can use a stretch structure with built-in spotlights.

Mirror

An obligatory element of the dressing room is a mirror. To save space, hang it on inner part doors. Then the room is filled with various drawers, racks, shelves for shoes and hats, rods for long things, compartments for storing smaller items of clothing.

How to turn a pantry into a dressing room with your own hands

You can make a similar design using wardrobe pipes equipped with special fasteners. Such systems consist not only of pipes, they are equipped with holders, shelves, doors. In this case, the dressing room is assembled as a designer. These models can be purchased from furniture stores. Their main advantage is the ability to change the position of shelves, ceilings, when necessary.
Remember that the future dressing room should not stand out from the general interior of the apartment. She definitely fits into her style. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the door. You can make it original, interesting with the help of stained-glass windows made of colored glass or its imitation. Drawings on the facade successfully emphasize the design common space, make it more attractive, refined.
The interior of the dressing room, converted from a pantry, should be as functional as possible. For the most economical use of its area, various drawers and shelves for small items are even hung on the doors.
In order not to clutter up too much limited space the former pantry, use designs for wardrobes such as "loft" and "bazeri", they include mobile cabinets, which, if desired, can be removed to another place. Such systems will facilitate the arrangement of such a room with your own hands.
A small pantry can be converted into a closet with many built-in structures, open and closed shelves, even outside the room.

Alteration of the pantry into a dressing room, located along the entire length of one of the walls - interesting option, which can be used in "Khrushchev" apartments. In this case, you can use the second entrance to the room. Thus, the former pantry will divide the rooms and acquire a separate entrance. This is very convenient, since it will not turn into a dead end filled with things, and shelves can be placed along its walls and ends, or you can install a hanger for long things along the entire wall. This dressing room is comfortable and practical.

How to organize the space of a small dressing room

A small room must be carefully planned in order to rationally use every centimeter of it.

If it is not possible to change the space of this room, then it is reasonable to place all things on small shelves (it is convenient to place everything on them and, if necessary, find them).

Drawers are usually placed at the bottom for storing shoes. At the top are shelves for storing seasonal items. In the middle are items of clothing that are used regularly.

In a small dressing room, you need to leave space (about 1 m) for things that should hang on a hanger.
To use the room was convenient, it must be equipped with lighting devices.

Door: needed or not?

If your dressing room is in separate room then you need to install the door. It will divide the space and add completeness to the overall interior.

If you remove the doors, then the closet can be turned into a shelving unit, the shelves placed outside it can become part of another room.

The structure, located in the corner, can be closed on one side with a plasterboard partition, and on the other, left partially open.

The pantry is sometimes combined with a closet, in which case the door must be removed.

It is convenient to use a dressing room with sliding doors or accordion-type structures: this saves space, which is important for Khrushchev-type apartments. Swing models are mounted if there is enough space to open them.

You can close the doorway in the storage room with a thick curtain that can completely close it. This design is hung on a cornice fixed on dowels or self-tapping screws. This option will help reduce the cost of dressing room equipment and allow you to easily change the design of the entire room.

If you decide to place rooms for storing things and shoes in a niche located in the bedroom, then use a design with frosted or transparent glass as a door. It will help to visually change the parameters of the room in the direction of increase.

As for the former pantry, the installation of transparent doors there is undesirable, otherwise your things will become public.

A good option is a door decorated to match the wall (for example, finished with wood panels or pasted over with the same wallpaper).

You can, on the contrary, install the same design as in other rooms. This will emphasize a single style solution for the interior of your home.

All about shelves

Shelves for the dressing room can be made of chipboard, chipboard, natural wood. Melamine coated chipboard is highly resistant to mechanical damage, exposure to moisture. When using it, it is necessary to apply a special edge of the corresponding color to the cuts.

If you decide to make a dressing room with your own hands, then you will need certain fasteners. So, for fixing the shelves, you can choose mensolo and shelf holders.

You can quickly install storage structures with the help of corners. They are able to withstand heavy loads.

FIX mounts look very neat. If necessary, the shelves installed on them can be easily dismantled.

Mounts of the "Pelican" type are able to hold shelves made of materials of various thicknesses.

Telescopic guides for drawers are more convenient and durable.

You will also need wardrobe hooks, handles, plugs, awnings.

If it is planned to install compartment doors in the dressing room, then it is necessary to purchase the appropriate components.

There is no need to build shelves according to the principle, the larger and wider they are, the better: things that are too deep will have to be laid in two rows, which will soon lead to a mess. If your clothes storage room is not too small, then it is better to mount sliding shelves with telescopic rails. You can also install drawers at the bottom. Accessories and small wardrobe items can be stored in small drawers equipped with inserted compartments. If you think that you can’t build such structures, then you can simply install ordinary shelves on which you place boxes made of paper, plastic, baskets of various sizes.

Lighting

To use the dressing room was most convenient (there are no windows in it), it is necessary to equip it with lamps. Such a room needs lighting in every corner so that it is as quick and comfortable as possible to select and search for things in it.

Functionality or original design?

A do-it-yourself dressing room should be not only functional, but also aesthetically attractive.
Today in hardware stores you can buy ready-made racks for its equipment. They are practical and lightweight. But there is nothing original in such constructions. Their faceless doors can be transformed with a little imagination. Color them with special paints, decorate with unusual pens or decorative elements, and they will become a real decoration of the overall interior.

How to make a dressing room from drywall yourself?

To make a dressing room with your own hands, you will need the following tool: a tape measure, a building level, a marker or pencil for marking, a saw, a hammer, a jigsaw, a screwdriver, a drill or a puncher, a grinder (depending on which frame you plan to make), a stepladder, brush, roller, container for varnish or paint, eye and hand protection.

1. Make a detailed drawing of the future design, take measurements, calculate the amount of materials. Even if you carry out such actions for the first time, think through everything carefully, every little thing in such a matter is important. This will allow you to avoid unnecessary expenses for the purchase of material, which may subsequently remain unclaimed or for the purchase of the missing one.
2. Put markings on the walls.
3. Mount a wooden (bars can be of various sizes depending on where they are used in the structure) or a metal frame. Start with a beam placed horizontally across the ceiling. It will become a guide for the surfaces of the future dressing room. The frame is optional if a shallow dressing room is planned like a built-in wardrobe. In this case, it is possible to fix chipboard sheets on the walls, which will become load-bearing partitions.
4. Install vertical supports every 60-70 cm (no more than this).
5. Carry out the installation of the transverse beams: they are needed for further fastening of various shelves, drawers, hangers.
6. Sheathe the frame with drywall sheets using self-tapping screws. If necessary, materials for additional sound insulation and wiring for lighting can be laid inside such a structure.
7. Seal up the fixing points with mortar. Treat the walls with a primer, let it dry completely. After that, the surfaces can be plastered, painted, wallpapered.
8. Install doors.
9. Fix all the necessary shelves, pull-out structures, hangers.

DIY shelving

If you want to save money when converting a pantry into a dressing room, then make your own storage racks. The lack of self-made designs is not always aesthetic appearance. Ready-made racks purchased in stores have a special coating that allows you to hide external flaws.
Do-it-yourself models can be varnished, painted, wrapped with self-adhesive film, veneered. wooden structures must be pre-treated with an antiseptic.
Such a dressing room will decorate the interior of your home, it will look attractive both outside and inside.
DIY shelving will allow you to inexpensively and in accordance with your needs arrange a dressing room.
Remember that only a carefully designed plan for the future storage room for clothes and shoes, taking into account the features of its content and equipment, the characteristics of your life (the number and types of shoes, the length of clothes, the presence of jewelry and various accessories) will allow you to create a truly comfortable dressing room.

The most convenient, perhaps, a device for storing things is a 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 set you have just chosen is combined, and not run from room to room - take it, try it on, see it. 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 shield such a space. Moreover, it has been noticed that it is more convenient to use them if the dressing room is assembled 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, we proceed to the independent creation of a dressing room.

Dressing room sizes

Our reality is that most of the 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. This is a rectangle with sides of 1.5 * 1 meter or so. Also, a small dressing room can be corner - this option is even more spacious than a similar rectangular one: with an equal area, the length of the sides along which shelves and storage systems can be placed will be greater.

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

A rectangular mini-dressing room with one-sided placement of things should have a width of at least 1.2 m, with a two-sided one - at least 1.5 m. The depth should be such that it is possible to “enter” there. In this, dressing rooms, basically, differ from sliding wardrobes, and also in 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 smell of mustiness quickly appears, which no perfume can mask. Therefore, even when planning, find a way to make ventilation in the dressing room.

The principle of its device 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 inlet openings located just above the floor level. They are covered with decorative bars. 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. The air exchange organized in this way effectively maintains the normal state of things.

Principles of organization of 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 by automation or turned on / off by conventional or.

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 selected items fit together. In this case, a 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 lamps of any type, but it makes sense to make them turn on from motion sensors. They opened the doors - the lamps lit up, there was no movement, they turned off. There is another option for hinged 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” that cannot be used normally. Here in such a place you can make a dressing room.

Another popular option is storage. In this case, everything is generally simple. You remove everything superfluous, change the doors and install the appropriate content: racks, racks, baskets, shelves.

If there is nothing like this in the apartment, they fence off part of the room - the end or corner - you need to look at the layout. The corner dressing room is good because 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 can’t put anything there except for a small corner shelf: everything will interfere. Approximately the same option - two windows or a window and doors.

If the area turns out to be too small, it is possible to increase it a little, making the wall not even, but with the middle extended a little. The area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room will not decrease much from this, but much more things can fit.

They are also made on the loggia - by making part of the glazing opaque or by building a wall. Only here you can’t do without warming - 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 blocked out, if the layout allows. Here everyone can decide only on the spot: there is a place for this or not.

Most of all, a dressing room is appropriate in the bedroom. It's just here optimal location for storing 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 needed for a long time and has been worked out to the smallest detail. It won’t take much time even in the absence of experience: a maximum of two or three days for assembly and finishing.

If you make a partition from GKL or GWP in accordance with all the rules, you will need double cladding, and these are “eaten” centimeters, or even meters of area. Therefore, most often they are sheathed only on 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 a single cladding, bare 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 weight.

The partition can also be made from or, slabs. This is an option for those who do not like to mess with putty. But you need to choose a lamination that will fit into the interior without any problems.

Doors for dressing room

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

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

A dressing room option in the attic: a side part with a low ceiling is occupied under it. Full width doors for easier access

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, or you can make them 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 area, and even interfere with the movement of air. Another disadvantage: it is problematic to remake something.

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, assembled on special racks. 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.

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

There are racks of rectangular section, with grooves cut on both sides. In these grooves, the necessary components 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 placed one on top of the other or on shelves.

All these systems are sold: racks and a list of various components. But they are mainly produced in European countries, because the price "bites". An economy version of wardrobe equipment can be made independently from a round chrome-plated furniture pipe and various fasteners for 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 very drawers, shelves, there are interesting special options. For example - skirts or trousers. Special guides on which the cross bars are fixed, sometimes there are clips on them. They allow you to hang skirts / trousers evenly and not be afraid that they will fall. It is convenient if such a hanger extends, 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, but much cheaper one - a hanger with crossbars located one under the other. This 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 differently and extends in length, although not everyone likes such a system, but rather folded into drawer cells.

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

Another device is a pantograph for clothes. This is also a pipe, but capable of descending. A kind of lift for clothes. Such a device allows you to use the space up to the ceiling, and not to the detriment of your comfort. It can be attached both to the side walls (the more common option) and to the wall. A rod-handle 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: some of them have dozens of pairs, so it’s just right for them to arrange separate dressing rooms. But among the standard sets of equipment there are several interesting ones for storing shoes.

Let's start with the retractable system. She is in IKEA. Pins with modules for shoes, mounted on a movable frame. Convenient, 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 are easy to place on a horizontal pipe.

These are mini chests of drawers on the wall.

In general, for shoes there are many interesting ideas, allowing you to place it compactly and at the same time conveniently. Some are in the photo gallery.

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

There are quite inexpensive options. For example, seasonal, the one that is currently in use, can be stored on a grid with rearranged 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 under any type of block, make more or less distance.

Economy shoe storage option - mesh with hooks and shelves

Hanging such a grid is not a problem - even on a wall, even on the side surface of a cabinet or door. Hooks and shelves simply cling to the crossbars. This option is ideal when there is a shortage 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 - shield with hooks

In general, when arranging a dressing room and limited budget it is worth looking for storage systems not in furniture stores - online or offline. Better take a look at the sites that sell trade software. There are many interesting devices that save space: stores also try to display the maximum amount of goods on the minimum area. For example, such here racks for footwear.

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

Making a wardrobe project

There are a lot of ideas for equipment and storage systems, as you can see. But so that it doesn’t turn out that the purchased great thing just doesn’t get into your wardrobe, you need to draw a plan on which you indicate all the dimensions and dimensions. It is drawn to scale, then on it you mark out those parts that must be mandatory. They are drawn in the same scale. If everything “fits in”, 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 devices and systems you like (mounting dimensions), cut them out to scale from cardboard or thick paper and try to put it all together. If it works, great, you can buy it. 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, it is necessary to maintain the following distances:

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

At the very top, we allocate 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, here are a few diagrams with dimensions so that you can equip your dressing room with your own hands (at least partially).

Shoe storage system made of plastic pipes…

Khrushchev is a small apartment with a characteristic layout. The inconvenient location of small rooms makes comfortable living almost impossible. The only advantage of such a layout is the presence of a storage room that can be adapted to suit your needs. For example, take things under storage. Whether it will be a built-in wardrobe or a whole shelf system depends on the size of the room and its position in the apartment. Thanks to a well-designed project and simple actions, a dressing room from a pantry in Khrushchev is easily built with your own hands.

A built-in wardrobe is an excellent solution for organizing the space of a small closet, the depth of which is 60 centimeters or less. Most often, the hallway has such a niche, which allows it to be used for storing outerwear and seasonal shoes. A spacious wardrobe can be made with your own hands by building it from simple components.

First of all, the room should be prepared: get out inside and remove the partition, instead of which install. Walls and ceilings can be wallpapered or decorated water-based paint.

Do not use whitewash. This finishing method, although one of the most budgetary, tends to leave a mark on the contact surfaces. To protect things from contamination, you should take a material that does not have this feature.

To make a simple wardrobe, you will need the following parts:

• Finished shelves or sheets of chipboard;
• Bearing and fastening elements;
• Bar for outerwear.

In this case, the construction of a special structure is not required, because. niche has small size. The shelves and the bar will be laid on load-bearing elements that are fixed directly on the wall. The number of shelves and the distance between them depends on the height of the ceiling and personal wishes.

How to make a dressing room from a pantry in Khrushchev: we take into account the features of the layout of the apartment

When planning the location of shelves and drawers in the future dressing room, it is important to consider its size and location in the apartment. The most convenient for arrangement is a room whose width is equal to the size of the bedroom. The entrance is located in the center. This type of layout allows you to install a supporting structure around the perimeter of the entire room. The dressing room in such a pantry is able to accommodate a large number of things.

Arrangement of the passage room can begin with alteration:

• Divide the pantry in half, which will allow you to get two dressing rooms at once;
• Close one of the openings, leaving the most convenient entrance.

So that a room with a small area does not seem too cumbersome, you can use open structures instead of shelving. They are easily mounted as a constructor, allowing you to make the space as functional as possible.

A pantry that is less than 1 meter wide is the most inconvenient to use. In this case, the supporting structure is installed only on the wall, which is located opposite the entrance. The remaining space can be used as a changing area.

If the width of the room is 1 - 1.5 meters - the filling is located on two walls that are adjacent. The most convenient to use is the design in which the shelves are located next to the entrance. The bar for outerwear is installed in the depth of the dressing room in the entire wall.

About other options for arranging small dressing rooms in our material:

Dressing room in Khrushchev instead of a pantry: we draw up a project

Thinking about the alteration of the pantry, the first step is to draw up a project. In a schematic drawing, it will be clearly shown how it is planned to arrange the filling of the future dressing room.

Installing several levels of zoning will make the room as functional as possible. Ease of use will depend on the availability of various types of filling: shelves, rods, boxes.

Depending on the frequency of use, the dressing area is divided into active and passive. The first contains things that are worn constantly. Therefore, shelves and linen boxes are located at a height of 1 - 1.5 meters from the floor, bars for long clothes- at a distance of 1, 5 - 2 meters.

In the active part, elements should also be installed that will make the room more functional:

• Pantograph (lowering bar designed to store outerwear);
• Tie tie (for convenient location of men's accessories);
• Trouser (to maintain the perfect look of suit trousers).

The passive zone of the dressing room are shelves that are located below 0.5 and above 2 meters from the floor level. As a rule, seasonal items, bags and a utility warehouse are located here.

We make a dressing room with our own hands: installation features

Installing a dressing room instead of a pantry involves the installation of a special frame, on which shelves and drawers will then be attached. The first stage is the creation of blanks for the design and the selection of suitable hardware.

Then the frame fasteners are installed, which can be done in two ways:

• With the use of dowels;
• With the help of corners.

After that, the construction of the load-bearing parts of the structure and the installation of shelf fasteners are carried out. Next, the edge lines are trimmed. Then shelves, rods and boxes are installed.

To make the shelf structure even and neat, each step in laying the filling elements should be checked with a laser level.

The last step will be to carry out interior lighting and install doors.

Dressing room in Khrushchev: finishing work and lighting

To harmoniously fit into the interior of the apartment, the room can be decorated in the same style. However, most often the room gets off with practicality, not design. Wallpaper, panels or paint are used to decorate the walls; material that is easy to clean is spread on the floor: linoleum or laminate.

A prerequisite is the installation of several lamps. One source is not able to fully illuminate a room without windows.

The dressing room should be equipped with a mirror in which you can see yourself in full height. A soft pouffe will not be superfluous, which will make the process of dressing more comfortable. The dressing area should be decorated with separate lighting. For this purpose, you can use small light bulbs or LED strip.

Design of a dressing room in Khrushchev instead of a pantry (photo examples)

a room with things is the dream of every woman. And this is understandable, because every representative of the weaker sex has a lot of clothes that are in all lockers and drawers. But a wardrobe can not be placed in every room, and not everyone can afford it.

If you dream of a dressing room and the house has a pantry, your dreams are destined to come true. Such a wardrobe will allow rational use of space in other rooms and will take on the main function of storing various items.

When choosing a place to place such a dressing room, you need to carefully consider all the details. If the room is too small, the installation of such a cabinet will be inappropriate, even despite modern materials.

If you are the owner of Khrushchev, there are pantries there from the moment of construction. They can be enlarged or disassembled and made in a new way. If the layout of the apartments has changed for the division of rooms, then usually there is a space that can also be used for a built-in wardrobe.

Feature and advantage of installing a dressing room in the pantry

Storage cabinet for tools and garden supplies

The main feature of the pantry is its dissimilarity to a sideboard, a pencil case, a rack and even a built-in wardrobe. And if we talk about spaciousness, storing any things is more convenient.

Before proceeding with the internal filling, you need to think about what things it will be intended for. Storing clothes next to garden tools and conservation is not very convenient.

The wardrobe is designed for clothes and shoes. Here you can store bed linen, mirrors, pillows and blankets. If you make a separate niche or place, you can place small household appliances (iron, vacuum cleaner, ironing board, coffee machine (if not used often) and others).

Pantry can be used for kitchen utensils

If the closet is intended for household goods, then it is better if it is located closer to the kitchen. Then here you can put conservation, dishes and kitchen equipment. And closed cabinets are suitable for tools. In the hallway or corridor, you can place a closet for tools and household appliances for home.

For home use, the design has a large number of advantages:

1. Storing a large number of items in one area.
2. Rational use of space.
3. Proper layout will make it easier to find things.
4. Modular or mesh storage allows you to use every millimeter of space, increasing the "usable" area.
5. Exclusivity. This design is always unique and not like the others. Based on personal preferences, you can create a unique and interesting design.
6. It is possible to store a large number of items for various purposes.

As for requirements

If there is no opportunity to allocate a lot of space, make a dressing room using a lot of shelves and drawers different size, they can replace the usual cabinet. Such a dressing room can take up more space than it might seem at first glance. But if you have a space of 1 or 2 square meters, then it will not be difficult to place hanger rods and shelves there. If there is a little more space, then large mirror for changing clothes will be conveniently located.

When creating a dressing room in a small apartment, pay attention to the main rule: the presence of ventilation. If you neglect this rule, objects can become damp and absorb mustiness. Don't forget about lighting.

Before filling the “inside” of the wardrobe, make a diagram of where, what and how it will be located.

Varieties

Wardrobes in pantries are divided into several types based on their functional purpose. There are designs for storing clothes, kitchen utensils, tool and household items.

Also, the division occurs depending on the location:

1. Niche. Dimensions not less than one and a half square meters. Due to the sliding system, it is separated from the main part of the room.
2. Dead end. If there is a dead end in the corridor, it can be fenced off chipboard or drywall and install the door.
3. If you own Khrushchev, there is already a storage room that can be converted into a wardrobe. Disassemble all the "insides" and fill as you need.
4. If the room is square, you can make a corner cabinet with a rounded or straight front.
5. In a rectangular room, a blank wall is used for a wardrobe.
6. In two-story private houses or apartments, a place for a closet-closet is allocated under the stairs.
7. Rarely, a place on a loggia or balcony is used to create a wardrobe.

The scheme of changing the pantry in an apartment building

Before work, you need to consider the filling and dimensions

If you finally decide to make a closet out of the pantry, you need to carefully consider the final appearance of the structure and depict it on the diagram, indicating the dimensions. You can use ready-made photos taken on our website and make your own changes if necessary.

Most often, the pantry occupies about 2-3 square meters. Furniture for such a space is difficult to pick up, and a closet-wardrobe can handle the storage of a large number of things. Think over and draw a plan for internal filling, indicate the dimensions and you can start creating with your own hands.

Internal rational content

To ensure the rational placement and storage of items, you need to properly plan what and where will be inside. To a greater extent, such structures are equipped with sliding systems. This allows you to use the occupied space to the maximum. A niche of such a system can hold a pantograph or shoe nets. by the most simple option it is considered to be divided into two parts and fill each from top to bottom.

Middle part of closet

The middle part is loaded the most

Used more than others. Everyday items are stored here, those that are used most often. This part is best filled with a hanger bar, wide shelves and drawers. You can place the bars both along the cabinet and across, depending on the depth of the wardrobe. Drawers are best placed so that they can be seen immediately when opening the cabinet. Shelving can be used. This filling will provide convenient storage any things.

Upper part of the pantry

Rarely used items are stored on the top shelves

This place, like in an ordinary closet, rarely used items are stored. If the wardrobe is too high, a chair or ladder may be needed. By making the shelf a little lower, you can place bedding, blankets and pillows, and hats even lower. If the size of the pantry allows, the upper shelves can be made closed.

Self-made wardrobe from the pantry

How to make a closet from a pantry at home? You need to start working with freeing up space. It is better not to demolish the walls. Remove everything inside, including shelves. When only the walls remain inside, you will notice that there is a lot of space. If the pantry is already many years old, then redecorating won't hurt. Leaving the “room” in its original form is not desirable, whitewashing can crumble and stain things that will be inside.

Level the floor and walls. Check for evenness with a spirit level. This is necessary so that the "insides" are evenly spaced. Wall painting or additional finishing is not required.

Enough to use water-based whitewash and lay on the floor wooden planks, because the main thing is that the dressing room is sufficiently ventilated, the walls allow air to pass through, otherwise, there will be high humidity in this room and things will “soak” with dampness.

Wooden flooring quite expensive. If you don’t have the funds for such a purchase, you can use a laminate and put bags of salt or a substance that absorbs moisture well in the corners.

Regarding ventilation and lighting

Ventilation holes are needed so that things are normally stored, and light will visually increase the space.

The dressing room should have good lighting.

To avoid the appearance of moisture and dampness, and after fungus and mold in the dressing room (after all, most often it is closed), you need to think over the ventilation system. There is simply no point in equipping an entire system in a small pantry, but if a dressing room is half the size, or even an entire apartment, a whole system is needed here.

If your wardrobe is small, install a small exhaust fan. An air conditioner can be used. Such devices will clean the space from germs, dust and moisture, which will eliminate the likelihood of odor and fungus. When it comes to light, visual magnification the space in the closet needs to be properly approached to the lighting system.

If the room is small, get rid of the overall shades and lamps with patterns, otherwise the shadows will take up part of the space. Give preference to small lamps. It is better if there are 5-10 pieces, which are evenly distributed around the room. You can mount them both on the ceiling and on the walls.

Installation of internal filling

First you need to purchase the filling details, which were thought out in advance and indicated on the drawing. The most common is the presence of:

• metal pipes. Acts as the basis of the frame and as a bar for hangers;
• coated chipboard suitable for shelves and drawers;
• guides;
• self-tapping screws, bolts, screws, nails, confirmations and metal corners for fastening;
• hooks/handles.

We start by cutting metal pipes to the desired size. We prepare and install the racks, fixing them with self-tapping screws. We arrange the guides and mount them. Let's move on to installing the internals. If necessary, we make lighting and ventilation. We install the door and fasten the handles.

The doorway can be designed in several ways:

1. Swing construction. Suitable for placement in a spacious place, as it requires space to open.
2. Partition screen or thick curtain. Does not take up much space and looks interesting.
3. Sliding system. Reminds me of a closet. Suitable for installation in a small space. Doesn't take up space.

Summing up

If you have a pantry, the dream of a wardrobe will become a reality. By combining imagination and patience, you can create the exclusive furniture that you have wanted for so long. Dressing room from the pantry - The best way free up space in other rooms. No need to look for specialists. This option can be done independently.

Every housewife dreams of a dressing room. It just so happens that women always have a bunch of outfits that require proper storage. Not every apartment is able to accommodate a large dressing room, so this privilege is not available to everyone. There is a way out of the situation - you can make a small dressing room from the pantry, which is in almost every apartment.

Requirements

Can't allocate a lot of space for storing things? Then create your own dressing room from a large number of shelves that are quite capable of replacing a full-fledged closet. A makeshift dressing room may require a lot less space than you think. A space with dimensions of 1x1.5 or 1x2 can accommodate both hangers and shelves with drawers. It is great if there is enough space in the dressing room to place a mirror where you can change clothes.

The basic rule when equipping a dressing room in a small room is to create ventilation. If this is not taken into account, then clothes can not only become soaked with mustiness, but also become damp. You should also be mindful of lighting.

Before you start installing all kinds of hangers, shelves and cabinets, you should calculate the approximate volume of all things that will be completed in a new dressing room. It is best to make a plan or draw a diagram of the location of all fixtures so as not to miss a single moment.

Alteration plan in a panel house

The decision to arrange a dressing room in the pantry has been made, which means you can safely take up a pencil and draw a diagram of how everything will look like in the end. Usually a closet in standard apartments- this is + 3 or + 2 square meters to the total area. Putting furniture in such a small area will not work, but carefully laying out all the clothes and shoes is quite realistic.

Visually, you have already imagined what hangers and shelves will be in your dressing room. It remains only to calculate the dimensions and enter the necessary numbers in the drawing. To store jackets and dresses, for example, you need a place no more than half a meter wide and up to one and a half meters high; t-shirts and shirts will take a little less space. Under shoes, you can build a small shelf the entire length of the room, with a height of 20 or 30 cm.

At the initial stage, it seems that there is not enough space, but after installation, you will be surprised how spacious the dressing room turned out from the pantry.

Ergonomic arrangement

In order for the effectiveness of a small dressing room to be no worse than that of a decent-sized dressing room, you should properly plan the space.

Often dressing rooms are equipped with sliding systems, which are very economical and allow you to fill the space to the maximum. In the niches of such systems, you can easily install a pantograph or gratings for shoes. The easiest way is to divide the dressing room space into two zones and fill each of them accordingly.

Middle zone

This part of the wardrobe is the most used. Usually it is filled with rods, shelves and all kinds of drawers. The bars are placed both perpendicular and parallel to the wall. It all depends on the depth of the cabinet.

Drawers and shelves are usually placed at eye level. Particularly interesting in this regard are baskets made of metal mesh and transparent models. If in the first variant things will be well ventilated and will be easily visible, then in the second case things can only be clearly seen without guessing what lies there.

Perfect option for the middle zone - racks with open shelves. They are easier to put things on. In addition, clothes will be visible all the time and will be able to “breathe”.

Upper zone

At the very top in the dressing room are shelves or drawers for things that are worn very rarely. To access them, you will need a ladder if your dressing room has high ceilings. A little lower you can put hats or shoes that will not be needed in the coming months. Such oversized things do not need too much space. An area equal to the length of the room, multiplied by 20 cm in height and a depth of 25 cm, is fine.

Liberation and finishing

It’s better not to demolish the walls, since the pantry is ideal for the role of a dressing room. If you remove all junk, which is usually stored there for many years, then it is quite possible to find that there is plenty of space there. It would be useful to carry out a small cosmetic repair - if necessary. It will not be good if the old plaster crumbles and stains things.

You can carefully trim the walls and floor so that the drawers and cabinets are level. Painting the walls or making expensive finishes is not at all worth it. You can simply whitewash the walls with water-based paint and lay a wooden floor on the floor.

If you can’t afford a tree, then you can lay a laminate on the floor, but its abilities are a little worse. Therefore, in any case, you can evenly spread out special bags with substances that absorb excess moisture well in the dressing room.

Ventilation and lighting

Ventilation is very important for the safety of things, while light can expand the space.

The dressing room is the place that most of the time is closed. Therefore, it must be well ventilated to prevent the appearance of dampness and mold. If the dressing room is small, then it makes no sense to equip a separate ventilation system. Large-scale and expensive projects are more suitable for the dressing room of an actress or singer, whose dressing area can be larger than a standard apartment.

An ideal option for a small dressing room is to install an exhaust fan or air conditioner. The second option is even better, since many air conditioning systems not only freshen the air, but also clean it of dust and germs. These parameters are very important, because they will exclude the formation of mold, unpleasant air and dust on clothes.

Light is important point. If you make the right lighting system, you can visually increase the storage space. In addition, in a bright room it is much more productive to select outfits.

In a small dressing room there should not be large lamps with lampshades or shades. This will only aggravate the situation, since unnecessary shadows will “eat up” half of the entire space. It is best to give preference to small lamps in in large numbers, which can be evenly distributed over the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe dressing room. You can install them both on the wall and on the ceiling.

Installation of a storage system

It is quite possible to build a small dressing room on your own. To do this, you need to buy all necessary materials, based on their own calculations and desires. An example list of materials might look like this:

• Metal pipes. These parts can serve as the basis of the frame, and as hanger holders;
• Chipboard with plastic coating. This item will be required as the main part to create shelves or drawers;
• guides;
• Fastening. Self-tapping screws, various plugs and corners can come in handy;
• Edge tape;
• Additional details in the form of hooks and handles.

You can assemble the installation according to the following plan:

1. Cut metal pipes into the desired lengths, according to your calculations.
2. Prepare the parts by trimming them with a special tape.
3. Install vertical racks and secure them with self-tapping screws.
4. Position guides and fasteners.
5. Install shelves and drawers.
6. Set the backlight inside (if necessary).
7. Fasten the doors.
8. Screw hooks and handles.

At the end of the installation, fill the cabinets with hangers.

Decoration of the doorway

To consider the arrangement of the dressing room from the closet finished, you need to arrange a doorway. This must be done correctly. For a walk-in closet, sliding doors are best suited to save space and ennoble it with their stylish design.

There are several options for wardrobe doors:

• Swing doors; These models are suitable for spacious rooms, as they take up some space when opened.
• Partition screens; This option looks very elegant and unique. A more simplified version is beautiful blackout curtains.
• Compartment doors; The most convenient doors for a small dressing room, because they perfectly save space.

The dressing room is the personal space of any girl. The layout and arrangement of such a room is everyone's business. There are several types of standard layouts:

corner

This option is suitable for any room. Most often they do not have doors. In the case of a dressing room from the pantry, one of the walls will need to be demolished to create it. Such a dressing room is usually intended for one or two people, as it can be easily divided.

You can easily decorate a corner dressing room, inspired by these ideas:

1. Stylish dressing room metal frame. It looks discreet and occupies a minimum of space.
2. A massive wardrobe made of wood with compartment doors organically fit into the corner.
3. A cozy little dressing room, reminiscent of a closet, is securely hidden from view with stylish sliding doors.
