DIY: 10 keys to creating a functional and stylish dressing room

A dressing room is an essential space in any house, whether one or ten people live there and we have a few or many square meters. And it is that years ago most women dreamed of having a huge house one day to have a room where we can store all our clothes, but today it is pure necessity, since we all have the need to store clothes, in addition to the fact that for most of us it is a pleasure to have an endless number of clothes and shoes...
A dressing room is a functional space but that does not mean that we should neglect its decoration, if we work it well we can get a corner with a lot of style that will become the envy of all your acquaintances. Depending on the space we will get a dressing room in which we can change freely, but if on the other hand we have a smaller corner, we are not going to sacrifice it, because if we follow some guidelines when designing and decorating it, we will achieve a dressing room that will have nothing to envy to those we like so much from the movies...

Keys to a functional and stylish dressing room:

1.- Design and decoration depending on the space and our personal tastes.

It is clear that we are looking for utility but a dressing room is still another room or corner of our home, so we have to think about its decoration so that it is in harmony with the rest of our home. The first thing is to be clear about the space we have, so we will get the most out of it.
Most common and most functional designs:
  • 'L' shaped for spacious spaces where you have your clothes at hand and can move around easily.
  • 'U' designs are those that occupy all the walls of the room, perfect for spaces that are not very long and wide; Finally, the dressing rooms facing each other separated by a small corridor that allow you to create two individual areas, one for women's clothing and the other for men's clothing, for example.

    2.- Measurements of the dressing room

    It is interesting to know the measurements that our dressing room should have depending on whether we want to hang a long dress, a skirt, shirts, etc, this will help us when organizing our space.

    3.- Smart distribution

    In the dressing room we keep clothes from the current season and clothes from other seasons, that is, we will separate the summer from the winter and we will also have to value the long garments, placing bars at reasonable heights so that they do not drag. For accessories and smaller garments, the best solutions are drawer units with organizers and removable shelves.

    4.- Order and cleanliness

    If we are not tidy this room will become a real chaos, it costs the same to leave a folded sweater as it is to leave it lying around. If you are a perfectionist, something that will bring harmony and points in favor in decoration will be to place the clothes by color ranges and sizes. Also consider what you use most often to leave it closer at hand.
    No matter how small our dressing room is, if we take into account details such as the organization by textures, colors and sizes, we will achieve harmony and a stylish space according to the rest of our house.

    5.- The shoemaker

    You can't miss it, there's nothing worse than having your shoes rolling anywhere in the house and it also gives the appearance of a messy and dirty person. If we have enough space, it is best to place it away from the clothing area so that it does not pick up odors. A good idea in small dressing rooms is to reuse shoe boxes to store them and keep them clean.

    6.- Storage of different sizes and organizers

    Storage is very important to keep everything organized, even if our dressing space is small and we only have a corner for a donkey to hang clothes, we can place glasses, wooden or plastic boxes and baskets where we can store scarves, belts, bags, shoes... The point is to classify the different garments and accessories and that the space always looks like a tidy one. Another good solution is to use shelves, on the hanging bar or in some free space on the wall, we can place folded sweaters and T-shirts, shoes...

    7.- Mirrors to generate an optical effect of amplitude
    If we place a mirror we will create depth and a feeling of spaciousness, this is basic in small spaces, in addition to the fact that we will use it to look at ourselves if we are used to dressing here. If possible, choose full-length and well-lit mirrors.

    8.- Originality and use of spaces

    Don't underestimate any corner of the house, because any place can be the ideal place to create our dressing room, from a room that we are not using, to the back area of the bed, the hallway or an entrance hall.

    9.- Make a difference with decoration

    Do not overlook the decoration, place some furniture or accessory to give life and color to this space, take into account the atmosphere you have created in the house and follow the same line in your dressing room. Place a mannequin, decorate the wall with a poster, place a pouf, a stool or a chair, which will also provide you with functionality if you are changing or want to put on shoes.
