L-shaped arrangement. In this case, wide shelves are used.
Installation of shelves in the end part of the room.

Cosmetic repairs are in progress. Produced antifungal and antibacterial treatment. The best option is cladding ceramic tiles.

Conducting lighting. The space is equipped with luminescent modules.

The interior decoration of the pantry depends on the functional load and location in the house.

If a utility room located next to the kitchen, it can be adapted for food storage. In this case, shelving is used for the pantry in the apartment with built-in baskets and drawers.

If the pantry is adjacent to the bedroom, you can make a dressing room out of it. For this, multi-section wardrobes are used. The dressing room is equipped with an ironing board.

The room next to the nursery is being equipped under. The room next to the living room is used as personal account or a small library.

In a private house it is convenient to build a pantry under the stairs. The utility room next to the hallway is used to store clothes and household appliances.

If the pantry is located next to the bathroom, then it can be equipped with a laundry room. The room has a washing machine, dryer and ironing board.

Cabinets, pencil cases and hanging shelves are designed according to the dimensions of the room. The selected type of structures depends on the reliability of the vertical ceilings - mounted or floor mechanisms are mounted.

If space allows, then a two-row design is made. At the same time, the back wall is equipped with shelves, and hangers are located on the facade.

The inside of the door to the pantry can be equipped with small drawers for storing small items.

The arrangement of the dressing room is carried out taking into account the following rules:

For the convenience of using the wardrobe, the height of the bar should not exceed the height of the person who uses the shelves.
Demanded things are arranged so that they are easy to take and put back.
On the upper shelves are placed things that require careful handling. Bags, umbrellas and blankets are also stowed upstairs.
The shoes are on the bottom.

For pantry equipment, boards may be needed, laminated chipboard, drywall, metal rods and fasteners.

In some cases, an old furniture wall is used to create a closet in the pantry.

Shelving installation

In order for racks and shelves to fit into the interior, you should not buy ready-made furniture. Better to make your own necessary items furniture.

There are many options for making shelving. Used plywood, wood and metal gratings. The best option for shelves is drywall.

When deciding how to make shelving in the pantry, you need to consider the following parameters:

Dimensions of items that will stand on the shelves.
A place for free passage between the racks.
gaps between sections. A small distance will not allow the shelves to sag.

There are several ways to arrange a closet. By installing stationary structures: cabinets, chests of drawers or cabinets. Or rod racks are mounted when the guide panels are attached to the wall and wooden sheets are installed on them.

When the frame is attached to the wall, the bars are first mounted, which are fixed in pairs. A tier of the rack is installed on each pair. After installation, the boards are sanded and painted.

Shelves are made of wood. Chipboard boards are considered moisture resistant.

Shelves with great height mounted at the bottom, as it is better to install overall things there. Shelving thickness varies from 10 mm to 30 mm.

Create a unique and original design just a pantry. The main thing is to think over the functionality of the room and choose suitable material. The pantry is a practical and utility room, which is not worth sacrificing for the sake of extra meters of living space.

Depending on the layout of the apartment, the storage room, arranged according to the project, can be located next to the bedroom, corridor, kitchen. The owners, wanting to optimize the space, often come to the decision of converting the pantry into a dressing room in order to free up the area of already small hallways. That is why many people are thinking about how to make a dressing room out of a pantry, which will become not just a place for storing things, but convenient system storage that meets all ergonomic requirements. For these purposes, the old pantry shelves are dismantled and new structures are installed, allowing you to place things as efficiently as possible inside the converted dressing room.

To decide how to make a dressing room out of a pantry on your own, find out if your pantry fits necessary requirements. They are quite simple, so you can organize a storage system for things even in a small Khrushchev:

a sufficient minimum is a space of 1x1.5 meters. This space is enough to arrange hanger bars, shelves and drawers;
if it is planned to place shelves on only one side of the dressing room, a width of 1.2 meters is assumed. If the shelves will be located on both sides - from 1.5 meters.

The closet was originally a closed space. Need to set up the system forced ventilation to prevent the formation of mustiness. If for these purposes the dressing room is equipped with a fan. At the same time, its noise should not disturb people resting in the bedroom or adjacent rooms.

The dressing room will require lighting. Without it, looking for the right things and putting things in order in a limited space will be very inconvenient. Lamps should not heat up, otherwise they can ruin things. An ideal option for a dressing room would be LED lighting.

Choice of finishing materials

Do-it-yourself wardrobe rooms from a pantry photo will turn into a cozy storage for things, if you choose the right finish. The main requirement for the choice of finishing materials is a smooth surface to avoid puffs and no marks. You should immediately leave the idea of whitewashing the dressing room or cheap, low-quality paint, wallpaper, which, when in contact with the fabric, can leave marks that will be difficult to get rid of.

Among other things, it should be borne in mind that things can be hung up poorly dried. This may affect the coating, moreover, cause musty smell and the development of mold inside the dressing room. Wood and MDF are great option because they are porous and have the ability to absorb moisture.

surfaces inner space the former pantry should be easy to clean, wash. Modern paints have all the necessary properties and at the same time are hypoallergenic, do not leave a smell.

Give up the idea of flooring in the dressing room carpet, because if you can not clean it, replacing it will become very problematic.

Stages of creating a dressing room

The process of creating a dressing room from a closet consists of a series of milestones. Before starting work, you should carefully study each of them.

Instruments

Get everything ready before you start necessary tools that may be needed:

drill, drills;
hammer (rubberized is better for wood);
sandpaper;
screwdrivers;
plane;
roulette;
self-tapping screws, dowels;
chisel;
square, pencil, marker;
construction level;
electric jigsaw for sawing workpieces.

To paint surfaces inside the dressing room, you will need a paint tray, roller, flat brushes, gloves.

Instruments

Space preparation

Before the dressing room with their own hands is brought to perfection, serious preparatory work lies ahead. You need to free the pantry from the contents. It is recommended at the same time to immediately get rid of the old trash and what was not useful:

comes off the hinges old door storerooms;
if the walls have a strong curvature or irregularities, then they need to be leveled, plastered. This is important, since distortions can lead to deformation of the box structure or incorrect removal of parameters;
if size allows, then the shape of the future dressing room changes with the help of drywall constructions- it can be a linear version or U-shaped;
plaster the ceiling, paint it, bring it into a usable condition;
level the floor, lay the intended coating - parquet, laminate, linoleum.

If according to the plan you have cabinet furniture installed inside the dressing room, then you should not spend money on expensive finishing, because it will not be visible behind the furniture.

measurements

How to make a dressing room from a dressing room pantry really functional and comfortable? First you need to correctly measure in order to calculate the parameters and the amount of required materials. This part of the work is carried out using a tape measure and a marker. Marks must be applied carefully so that after completion of work they are not visible.

Before you start, draw a plan future design. Parameters to be taken into account for the height of the planned elements:

linen - 20-40 cm;
blouses, shirts - 100 cm;
outerwear - 150 or more.

The depth of the compartment is calculated based on the size of the coat hanger, plus 10 cm. The width is set based on the number of items available.

Blanks

After making all the measurements and drawing up a drawing, proceed to the preparation of blanks for the manufacture of racks. Saw the material strictly in accordance with the technology and according to the measurements. Drywall is used for space zoning, but it is not recommended for the direct manufacture of shelves, since the plates tend to deform already under their own weight.

Wood, chipboard, chipboard are more resistant to moisture and damage. When sawing blanks, remember that these materials require additional processing edges.

When cutting, do not try to make the shelves too wide. The arrangement of things in 2 rows is inconvenient for daily use and sooner or later will lead to a mess. Optimal depth- up to 60 cm. Drawers and shelves with telescopic mechanisms have proven themselves in a small space. It is better to give preference to such a solution.

Zoning

In the dressing rooms from the pantry, the photos of which are collected in a selection, the zoning of space is clearly visible for further distribution and storage of things. From the point of view of ergonomics, there are 2 options for how to equip the space: horizontal and vertical zoning.

The horizontal type is characterized by the allocation of active and passive sections. The distribution is carried out according to the principle of the frequency of demand for things:

everything that is rarely used is defined in the passive zone - shelves that are located at a height above 2 meters, or below 0.5 meters. This is the place to store household supplies, seasonal items and suitcases;
the active zone is a distance of 50-130 centimeters above the floor surface. Here is a place for linen drawers and baskets.

Clothes rails are fixed at a level of 130 to 190 cm from the floor. If the wardrobe has long clothes on the floor, then it is placed on special bars.

Surface finishing

A dressing room from a pantry means that the converted space will need surface finishing. No whitewashing, otherwise the clothes will constantly get dirty. The easiest option is painting. The obvious advantage of this choice will be the simplicity of the color change and further care. Modern paints are easy to clean, fit well on the surface, they can be tinted in any shade. There is no need to repaint the dressing room in original colors. It is recommended to give preference to shades that differ from color solution the main room by 1-2 tones. Give preference to light colors, so small space pantries in a panel house will be visually larger and lighter. Dark color undesirable, no matter what is said about its practicality. An already small space can easily turn into a gloomy closet. Another advantage of this choice is that in the future the walls can be refreshed without dismantling the shelves. It will be enough just to close them with a film and paint everything again.

Wallpaper is also an affordable option that is often used when they want to convert a pantry into a walk-in closet. use washing option. It should be noted that due to the special microclimate and the abundance of clothing, wallpaper can deteriorate and change its color. Therefore, you need to choose those options that you are sure of, otherwise cosmetic repairs will have to be done in the near future.

Photos of dressing rooms with their own hands from the pantry sometimes show very original finishes using this type of material. MDF panels are well washed, aesthetic. You just need to remember that their installation requires the manufacture of a frame from metal profile or bars. Such a design will take up a certain amount of space that a small pantry simply will not allow.

Making a dressing room out of the pantry with your own hands, take care of flooring. If possible, then let the floor in the dressing room be of the same material as in the main room. It is preferable that it be parquet, laminate or linoleum. Carpet or other carpeting is not the best option in this case, as it can be difficult to clean.

For a ceiling device in the dressing room instead of a pantry, you can do regular painting in bright colors, when it comes to budget option. You can also install a small stretch ceiling, which will perfectly accommodate the much-needed spotlights.

Ways of fastening shelves

A do-it-yourself wardrobe room from a closet is unthinkable without reliable shelves that can withstand boxes with things, shoes, and hats.

There are 3 options for fastening shelves:

manufacturing wooden frame from a bar;
metal corners;
fastening with dowels.

You can choose any option, but dowels are considered less preferable. The shelf installed on the protruding part of the dowel can easily turn over. The construction of a bar or corners is a more durable and reliable option for a dressing room.

When making a frame finished structure fix on the wall in places where marks were previously made with a marker. Use special glue or self-tapping screws and a screwdriver. It is necessary to constantly monitor the installation process and the location of the structure using building level. The second step is to install the shelves, not forgetting to process the edges at the cut points in order to prevent damage to clothes in the future.

Having given preference to self-tapping screws, it is required to pre-drill holes in the marked places. If the shelves are attached to a wooden base, then everything is mounted directly to the wall. If not, then dowels are inserted into the holes. To fix the metal corners use short self-tapping screws. If for the dressing room are planned sliding shelves, then guides for the roller mechanism are attached to the corners. So that the fasteners do not stand out, they can be covered with putty or hidden under by gluing decorative overlays.

In stores, you can also choose the so-called mensolo and shelf holders:

the corner is the leader in installation speed and maximum load;
FIX fasteners - for a neat, aesthetic appearance and ease of dismantling if necessary;
pelican fasteners - will also provide aesthetic appeal and are suitable if material of different thicknesses was used for the shelves.

Choose the options that best suit your needs and skills.

Rod fixation

A small dressing room is unlikely to allow you to install a large number of rods. However, dressing rooms will not allow you to completely abandon this accessory, because raincoats, coats, floor-length dresses cannot be placed on shelves. The male version of the wardrobe allows you to use less space, due to shortened types of clothing. Here, a dressing room from the pantry will allow the placement of at least two rods in tiers.

The installation of the clothes rail is carried out after the shelves are installed inside the dressing room. Buy fasteners in stores specializing in furniture fittings, it is easy to choose the most suitable option there.

The optimal distance between the shelf and the bar is no more than 5 cm. This is enough to hang clothes and not leave an unused gap. So that as a result the required number of hangers (hangers) is placed on the bar, the width of the installed shelves must be at least 58 cm.

If wardrobe space allows, place several rods on different height. Low bars are suitable for shirts, skirts. High - for dresses, raincoats.

Keep in mind that rod tubes are standard lengths and will need to be adjusted to fit your measurements. To saw off the desired segment, use the angular grinder, or angle grinder.

Fixing brackets sold separately. You need 2 of them for 1 rod. Make a preliminary marking of the places where you will attach them with a tape measure and a marker. You will need a screwdriver and wood screws for installation. After fixing the brackets, a bar is installed in them.

Lighting

The dressing room from the pantry does not imply natural light. How to arrange a dressing room so that it is easy to find everything you need in it? A lighting system is being made for a small enclosed space.

This means that compact ceiling luminaires or lamps are mounted that allow a swivel base in the design. Lighting elements in the pantry of the dressing room should be located as conveniently as possible so that they are not touched when choosing or trying on clothes.

It turns out very cool when they equip linear automatic backlighting on based LED lamps. The backlight works exclusively in your presence, and there is no need to reach for the switch every time. In the photo of the wardrobes from the pantry, you can see examples of local lighting for rods with clothes and linen drawers. Made inside drawers tapes will facilitate the search process even without overhead lighting.

From the idea to use hanging chandeliers and it is better to refuse a sconce, because they are quite bulky for such a limited space and will constantly be hurt. It may happen that sooner or later either the device or your clothes will suffer.

Door installation

The door to the dressing room from the pantry is selected in accordance with the dimensions of the future premises and the possibilities of the environment. Now offered big choice doors of various configurations. The choice in favor of the door is justified when the dressing room is represented by a separate room. If you need to separate part of the room, then perhaps a partition will be enough.

If you opt for a traditional hinged door, make sure that there is enough free space before entering the dressing room so that it can be opened. In addition, when installing the door, you need to remember that it must swing open outward, otherwise the part will be “eaten”. usable area closet pantry:

installation door system starts with markup;
if installation of guides is necessary, they are fixed on the ceiling or in the opening. If there is a lower guide, it is not fixed immediately. At first, they simply try on to finally fix it after the canvas has been leveled;
the door mechanism is mounted;
the canvas is leveled in the opening using the building level;
if necessary, a lower guide is installed;
the door leaf is installed, adjustment is made;
the rest of the fittings are attached - brushes, anthers for the coupe, clamps, etc.

When installing the door, blind leaf options are preferred so that outsiders cannot observe the presence of things inside the former pantry. Some prefer to decorate the door to match the wall to make the dressing room inconspicuous against the general background of the room.

Additional elements

Even if you make a dressing room from a small closet in Khrushchev, except standard equipment from shelves, rods and drawers, it is quite reasonable to use modern devices that will make the use of a very limited space in a small pantry as efficient and ergonomic as possible. The storage system can be added to the dressing room:

vertical shoe racks;
laundry baskets that can be placed under the bottom shelf;
hooks for bags;
all kinds of retractable hangers - for trousers, ties.

Modern design like auxiliary elements takes into account the needs small room from the pantry and allow you to equip the space, even when it is very small.

The idea of altering the pantry into a dressing room great opportunity transform the apartment as a whole, freeing up the space that was previously occupied by the closet. Things will be in order, even very small accessories will find a place on the wardrobe shelves or fit neatly in drawers. Wardrobes of all family members will cease to be a problem and will acquire orderliness in their places.

Any hostess dreams of such a corner in which it is possible to equip the storage of any things, both seasonal and everyday. In ordinary small-sized apartments, it is simply impossible to take such a place. In this case great solution will become a small dressing room from the pantry. It will not take much time to implement the plan, but you need to follow the main points: decide on the configuration, break the storage scheme, install zones and fill them with modules. We will consider everything in detail in this article.

List of basic requirements

A dressing room in Khrushchev can be converted from a pantry, which has always been assumed in the layout of houses of this type. To understand whether the option of arranging a storage room is possible, you need to familiarize yourself with general requirements in this direction:

For the arrangement of the dressing room requires a certain area. The minimum dimensions of the pantry should be 1 × 1.5 m. This is quite enough to make room for shelves and hanger rods.

Dressing rooms are single-sided and double-sided. In the first case, a width of at least 1.2 m is required, and in the second - 1.5 m.

Dressing rooms located in the pantry are closed space, completely filled with things, for optimal conditions storage of which must be ventilated. The device of the ventilation system is the main requirement.

If the dressing room is located near the bedrooms, then the fan should not create much noise.

For a good overview of the occupancy of the storage of things, the lighting system needs to be redone.

Usually in dressing rooms built-in wardrobes are provided. This is not possible in mini storage rooms. They are replaced with simple racks and shelves.

The main task in a mini dressing room is the rational distribution of space. Every square centimeter must be used.

In such a dressing room you need good light and ventilation

The main aspects of the device wardrobe

Starting to arrange a dressing room in the pantry, think through all the main aspects. First of all, the number of stored things is estimated, and they are divided into categories. It also determines how they are stored. For example, for large things, upper shelves are needed, for outerwear- bars with hangers, for linen - drawers.

Configuration types

How to allocate space in the dressing room? It directly depends on the shape of the pantry. There are several storage device options. Here are some examples:

Linear storage system. You can equip racks against one wall of the pantry, which differs little in design from a regular closet. With this layout model, you need to think carefully about the number of rods, shelves, drawers.

Location of the storage system in L-shape. For Khrushchev it is best option. Ideal for rooms with long rectangular shape. In addition to things, they can store a vacuum cleaner, ironing board and more.

U-shaped configuration. It is the most practical and roomy. In this case, 100% space utilization is ensured.

Corner option. Quite non-standard, but allows you to fix the problem areas of the room, getting roomy room to store things.

Modern storage systems

The functionality of the dressing room determines correctly arranged system storage. It is necessary to choose it based on the area of \u200b\u200bthe room. There are only three types of wardrobe systems, consider their main advantages and design features.

Cabinet

For the manufacture of cabinet furniture, exact dimensions, a developed project and a master who will do everything to order are required. The advantages include functional placement of stored things, impressive volumes and reliability of the design. But, despite all the advantages, there are also disadvantages: firstly, shelves and drawers are bulky and take up a lot of usable space, and secondly, it is impossible to change the layout of the furniture.

Mesh

The design of the mesh (honeycomb) type carries versatility and compactness. Consists of light racks, shelves have mesh base, the same type of basket attached to hooks and brackets. This system is easy to install - it is not difficult to install such a dressing room in the closet with your own hands. In addition, it is possible to change the configuration of the dressing room at any time.

Important! If the mesh type of construction is chosen for the dressing room in the closet, we take into account the fact that the storage system is not able to withstand heavy things.

frame

The frame type design involves the installation of metal racks that are attached to the floor and ceiling. Racks and shelves are arranged on the crossbars. You can also attach rods for outerwear. The drawers are pretty easy to install. The advantages of this design include ease of installation and the ability to change the project at any time. Visually, such a system looks light, this is ensured by the absence of side elements.

Breakdown into zones

The disadvantage in the functioning of the dressing room in the apartments of the old layout is its small size. To optimize this problem, the planning of storage areas is carefully considered.

According to the standard, the wardrobe space is divided into three main zones:

Lower. There are usually boxes with shoes, umbrellas and other accessories. The lower space occupies about 0.8 m from the floor. Height of shelves for storing shoes summer period is 0.25 m, and winter - 0.45 m.

Average. Usually intended for permanent use. There is also space for outerwear. In height, the zone should occupy from 1.5 to 1.7 m. It should additionally divide the space in a certain place to accommodate shirts, trousers, skirts.

Upper. Basically it is shelving and is intended for arranging seasonal items. You can also put bed linen, blankets, pillows, suitcases and more. Optimal Height upper shelves 0.2 m, and the depth is not less than 0.25 m.

The correct breakdown of the dressing room into zones will allow you to conveniently use this room

Convenient storage devices

The modern furniture market is filled with a large number of devices designed for compact and convenient location of things:

Devices for hanging trousers and skirts, which have special rubberized clips. This allows you not to leave traces of inflection, as on conventional hangers.

Hangers that have not one, but several crossbars, will help to place several identical things, which will maximize the use of space.

Consideration should also be given to systems for convenient accommodation ties, belts, belts, scarves, etc.

Instead of the usual crossbar, you can use new idea- pantograph lift. It can be lowered using the adjusting lever.

Very convenient to use various modules for shoes. These can be platforms with special ledges on which shoes are placed.

Finishing and lighting device

The dressing room in the pantry is a closed room. Therefore, the next aspect that needs to be discussed in more detail when reworking is lighting. In this direction, small Spotlights or wall lamps with a device for freely turning them in the desired direction.

You can think of lighting for clothes. In this case good option there will be mini LED bulbs attached to crossbars or other elements. They should not be located too close to the shelves and cling to clothes.

Well, if the internal lighting of the boxes is arranged. This can be done with LED strips.

Separate conversation - wall decoration. There are several rules here: the surface must be smooth, painted or pasted over with both light colors. It is possible in some areas to arrange a mirror surface or soft drapery.

Advice! Bright hues and mirror surfaces able to visually expand the space. We try to follow this simple rule.

Decoration of the door

Having finished with the zoning and storage system, they move on to the arrangement doorway. This is not an unimportant aspect, as it also carries a design load.

Let's imagine several options for closing the doorway of the dressing room in the pantry:

The simplest and affordable way when altering - leave the opening open. Some shelves are taken out of the pantry. This option is only suitable for the hallway.

Screens are often used to divide space and sliding door options. design sliding system ordered in the workshops, pre-choosing the decor to your taste.

In the case of a conventional screen, it should be made stylish and creative. Choose the appropriate textiles and cornice, which will be in complete harmony with the interior of the room.

Do-it-yourself pantry refurbishment
