The restoration of the secretary from 1830-1850 has been completed

Friends, we are pleased to announce that we have completely completed the restoration of an antique secretary, which was made between 1830 and 1850. It is known that starting from 1850 this secretary belonged to one of the Empress's ladies-in-waiting. In general, the history of his travels is unknown to us. He was transported to Moscow from St. Petersburg, where he suffered greatly from one of the floods.

So - a restored secretary from the mid-19th century:

Conditions AFTER restoration.

Condition before restoration:

A detailed article about the damage is posted here. An article about the restoration process is here.

Let us now list the difficulties that we had to face. And there were difficulties here on every centimeter:

Numerous and varied damage to veneer. In some places there are very large swellings and detachments of huge fragments.

State BEFORE

After restoration:

The secretary's central fragment of the top was broken off long ago and lost. One old photograph survived, from which we recreated the lost element.

The pommel was entirely hand carved from solid anegri.

And here is a short video about how the production took place.

Almost every corner of the product had numerous chips. Many panels were missing.

The secretarial doors were covered with mammoth bone linings. Only 2 survived. We ordered the production of the missing ones. The handles on the pull-out cabinets had a similar story - of all the handles, only 2 survived and the rest were also made of bone.

PAINTWORK:

The old coating on the secretary was almost all erased, and where it remained, it was covered with layers of dust, grease and dirt. We completely washed all surfaces and removed dust and dirt layers. After removing all the damage and thoroughly sanding and polishing, we first coated all the elements with stain, and then all the internal cabinets and drawers were coated with shellac (about 50 layers). The outside of the secretary is covered with oil and wax.

Interestingly, in the photo you can see the secret compartment of the secretary:

a special section (it now stands on the left) in the form of an open shelf is fixed with a lock. If you remove it, there are 3 retractable drawers inside.

How to make furniture with secrets and hiding places

Each has a soft leather handle, as it fits tightly to the wall of the shelf lid.

We are glad that the owner of the secretary spoke very flatteringly about our work. All final photographs were taken at his home and there were no complaints about the restored family heirloom. Thank him very much for the opportunity to take these pictures. The restoration of the antique secretary is completely completed.

The classic secretary is a chest of drawers with a door that folds down from top to bottom, behind which there are many secret drawers and compartments. At first, this furniture was considered ladies' furniture. The folded door served as a writing table. love letters, and in locked hiding places pearls and diamonds shimmered. However, the design turned out to be successful, and it was borrowed for more prosaic purposes: storing documents and writing instruments. Let's try to assemble a simple secretary with our own hands so that markers, disks and folders with papers can finally find their permanent place.

Let's make a very simple secretary

Preparing for work

Our secretary will have the simplest device, but in terms of convenience and functionality it will not be inferior to the factory one. To make it you will need the following materials:

• Ready-made desktop stands for folders made of plywood (sold in office supply stores) - 6 pcs.
• MDF blank for the top cover – 890x330x16 mm.
• MDF blank for the back cover – 890x325x16 mm.
• Wood glue.
• Screws.
• Sanding paper.
• Double-sided tape.

The tools we will need are:

1. Jigsaw with blade for curved cutting.
2. Drill.
3. Screwdriver or screwdriver.

As we see in the picture, our module is mounted on an ordinary dining table with a tabletop size of 100x80 cm. The add-on for placing papers looks like a complex of interconnected horizontal and vertical stands, united by the top and back covers from MDF.

In a small apartment, it would be good to figure out how to make the secretary mobile. This condition is precisely included in our design. The trick is that our shelf module is removable, which means that if necessary, it can be quickly removed to any other place.

Marking and cutting MDF

First we cut out the top cover. To do this, we place the stand on the sheet with its side so that the back side of the future cover is flush with the horizontal shelf. The front side of the lid should protrude forward beyond the horizontal shelf by 1.5 cm.

Mark the position of the first part of the shelf.

We turn the stand over and mark the position of the second, mirror part of the shelf.

Cutting out the top cover

We cut out the top cover with a jigsaw, installing a file in it for a curved cut.

A secretary is an excellent workspace for small apartments

The pendulum stroke must be turned off during operation. The dimensions of the cover should be:

• Length – 890 mm,
• Width at the junction of horizontal supports – 320 mm,
• The width at the ends is 170 mm.

We cut out the back wall in the form of a rectangle, according to the given dimensions 890x325x16 mm.

Scheme of our secretary

We sand the finished lids and coat them with furniture varnish 2-3 times or cover them with self-adhesive film.

Assembling the secretary

Now let’s get down to the main task of how to make a secretary with your own hands:

As a result of our efforts, an original mobile product appeared in the house, which will eliminate the problem of lost papers, pens, paper clips and other small things necessary in everyday life.

Today, secretaries are produced with a touch of antiquity, using dark wood and various decor.

This furniture is ideal for classic interiors, Art Nouveau style and many other established styles, but not for modern ones.

Buying a beautiful, comfortable and modern secretary will not be difficult if you turn to the wide range of luxury Chinese furniture from the Meb-Elite company. The Meb-Elite store has been supplying high-quality, beautiful, reliable and practical furniture to residents of Moscow and Russia for a long time.

Choose a secretary for classic interior, a change in approach will be required and the choice of more laconic forms, where there will be no place for flashy finishing. Such modern secretaries were previously made exclusively from solid wood, but today this furniture can be made from MDF, modernized chipboard with veneer finishing.

In most cases, antique secretaries have impressive dimensions, are made from expensive wood, have rich dark colors and carved decorations. To match the classic interior, such aristocratic, solid and chic furniture will suit best way.

Art Deco secretaries have elegant shapes and are often made in white or black colors. Country desk cabinets often have simple form, unfinished and with some wear on the body. As for modern interiors, here the secretary is assigned the role of a component of a furniture set, one of the wall segments.

10 ideas for hiding places in furniture

Similar built-in workplace will not require much space, also remaining an element of the headset.

It is often customary to place universal secretaries within the living room. This compact workspace allows you to easily place a laptop, lamp, various papers and books on the surface. Upon completion of the work, the described accessories are removed, the lid is closed, after which the secretary becomes like a traditional cabinet.

However, no matter how high the convenience and spaciousness of the secretary, such furniture is not created for long-term activities. It’s not possible to install a full-fledged personal computer, and sitting with your feet resting on the drawers is also not always comfortable. However, a secretary is quite capable of becoming an alternative to a home office. The most important thing is to choose the right place for such furniture so that it is appropriate and functional.

Furniture is an integral part of the interior, so when creating the decoration of a children's room, you should pay attention to this aspect. Furniture maintained in the same style not only speaks about the aesthetic taste of the owner, but also helps to create a pleasant atmosphere of comfort and warmth.

When furnishing a room, remember that pieces of furniture should not occupy more than 50% of the area. In general, a child's room should have less furniture than in the living room or hall.

Do not place too much furniture, otherwise the child will have little room to move. Also, with a large amount of furniture, dust accumulates faster, which requires considerable time for cleaning. When planning, you need to leave space for passages.

Furniture must first of all be aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. Convenience is understood as such an arrangement in which favorable conditions for work and household chores. Aesthetics is expressed in the fact that the furniture should be in harmony with wallpaper, lamps, carpets, etc.

When buying furniture, you should pay attention to its style. Furniture can be of various shapes and made in any style. Nowadays, some people prefer to make custom-made furniture. This is a rather expensive way to create an interior and is available only to wealthy people. However, in this case the costs are completely justified: the room takes on a unique look.

If we take into account the functional characteristics, then all pieces of furniture can be divided into three groups.

1. Furniture that serves to store things. These are primarily bookcases and wardrobes, sideboards, bureaus, secretaries, cabinets, etc.

2. Furniture intended for relaxation. This group includes beds, sofas, couches, stools, and chairs.

3. Pieces of furniture with a working plane, such as tables, dressing tables, etc.

Furniture is divided into upholstered, cabinet and lattice. TO upholstered furniture These include items intended for relaxation: sofas, beds, etc.

Cabinet furniture includes items used for storing things: cabinets, sideboards, secretaries.

Lattice furniture includes chairs and tables.

According to the manufacturing method, furniture is divided into non-dismountable and collapsible. Built-in furniture occupies a separate place.

Non-demountable pieces of furniture are used separately or in composition. The design of such objects is indivisible (Fig. 40).

Rice. 40. Non-dismountable furniture

Collapsible items are included in the sets, but they can also be used separately. They are easy to transport and create compositions at your own discretion.

Collapsible structures include sectional and shelving furniture. Sectional furniture consists of individual multifunctional items (Fig. 41). The only drawback of such furniture is that it looks bulky.

Rice. 41. Sectional furniture

Shelving furniture is a structure made up of many shelves, sections and cells (Fig. 42). It houses not only various household appliances, but also decorative interior items: vases, lamps, artificial flowers.

Rice. 42. Shelving furniture

Built-in furniture (Fig. 43) is convenient to use in small apartments, as it takes up little space. Furniture of this kind is often used in children's rooms. During the daytime, sufficient space is created for children to play. Built-in furniture is installed in special construction niches, the arrangement of which should be taken care of in advance.

Rice. 43. Built-in furniture

If the child is still small, then at first he is in the parents’ bedroom. In such a room there is a bed or two beds if there is enough space, a trellis, a pouf or a small chair. Sometimes the size of the room allows you to install armchairs or chairs.

Various items are most often stored in the bedroom. Therefore, the room should be equipped with bookcases, wardrobes for linen and clothes, and bedside tables for audio equipment. You cannot place audio equipment on window sills, because this part of the apartment is usually damp, which contributes to the appearance of an electric field.

If there are two beds in the room, then the distance between them should be at least 60 cm.

Assembling components and parts into products, finishing furniture

A workspace for needlework, a sewing machine or a computer is arranged in the room.

If the room is long enough, it is divided into two parts: for rest and work, or a crib is placed instead of a work table.

Ventilation of the bedroom is mandatory, especially if there is always a small child in the bedroom. The room contains everything necessary for the child. For these purposes, you can arrange a separate children's corner.

The children's corner is located in a well-lit place, near the window, but not under the window itself. It is better to place the baby cot near interior wall. If the room is large, the crib can be placed at the end of the parents' bed. If the child is an infant, you should also provide a changing table, near which you can hang a shelf with baby cosmetics.

Comfortable children's furniture is furniture made from natural wood. The design must be well thought out and not have sharp corners and edges. Small children spend a lot of time on the floor, so it is better to lay a soft, warm carpet on the floor. Linoleum coating will keep the floor clean at all times.

All items of children's furniture can be made with your own hands. If the child is already quite old, then he needs a separate room. In order to increase the space for games during the day, you can install in the room bunk bed(Fig. 44).

Rice. 44. Children's bunk bed

The material used to make the bed is wooden racks with a section of 40 x 45 cm and boards with a section of 2 x 13 cm. For side and top fences, boards with a section of 2 x 11 cm are used.

Space in a children's room can be saved with the help of a folding or movable bed built into the wall. For a spring shock absorber, take two pipes, one of which must fit freely into the other, and a spring. Pipe with large diameter It is attached to the wall using a bracket, and with a smaller one - to the bed using a corner. The spring should be of such a size that when the bed is lowered, the smaller diameter pipe will clamp it.

A cabinet-secretary for a children's room will also allow you to significantly increase the space (Fig. 45). Lamps are mounted behind the blank side of the secretary, and two pull-out stools are placed in the lower part.

Rice. 45. Cabinet-secretary for a children's room: 1 – shelves for books, 2 – lamp, 3 – folding cover of the secretary, 4 – back wall, 5 – hinge holder, 6 – hinge, 7 – pull-out stool

You can use any materials to decorate children's furniture. The main thing is that the furniture is pleasing to the eye and easy to clean from dirt.

In a student’s room, a desk the length of the entire wall (Fig. 46) can serve not only for doing homework, but also become an excellent decorative element. On the right side the width of the table is greater, which allows the child to take correct position while doing homework.

Rice. 46. ​​Desk for a schoolchild: 1 – table cover, 2 – front side of the cover, 3 – metal stand with tubes and brackets, 4 – volumetric radiator shield, 5 – rear side of the cover

A hanging shelf for a children's room is also quite easy to make yourself. The convenience of such shelves is that they can easily be moved to another place (Fig. 47).

Rice. 47. Hanging shelf for a children's room

The shelves are attached to the wall on sheet steel profiles. In order to embed a profile into the wall, it is necessary to punch holes in the wall with a diameter of 2 cm every 30 cm. The depth of the hole is measured and wood plugs are made according to the size. A little gypsum mortar is placed in the hole and a plug is inserted, and excess gypsum is removed. The profiles are applied to the wall within a day. Holes up to 4 cm deep are drilled into the plugs and screws up to 6 cm long are screwed in. The shelf itself is made of plywood 2 cm thick.

Many people incorrectly believe that functional furniture appeared quite recently, when it was time to furnish not luxury apartments, but compact apartments. Meanwhile, history takes us several centuries into the past to tell us about the appearance of one of the most fascinating and multifunctional types of furniture - the secretary. Indeed, nowadays the secretary is as popular as it was in the 18th century, when it first appeared. Now, together with the Dream House website, we will plunge into the world of retro furnishings and learn a little more about this furniture.

A little about the history of the creation of the secretary

As mentioned earlier, the secretary appeared in the 18th century, but some sources date its appearance to the 12th-13th centuries. It was behind the secretary that the ladies of that era wrote thousands of letters; in their own countless drawers they kept both love messages and municipal secrets. Thus, the secretary cabinet easily replaced a desk, a safe, and a closet at once.

Modern models have been slightly modified, but, as before, they are a cabinet with drawers and a folding shelf that plays the role of work surface. A huge number of drawers allow you to keep all your writing utensils at hand, but at the same time, in impeccable order. And secret locks and reliable locking systems protect important papers from prying eyes.

Modern secretary - desk

At first considered ladies' furniture, the secretary quickly fell in love with the male half of the world's population, becoming a workplace for kings and rulers. For example, Napoleon Bonaparte took a folding travel secretary with him on trips - when folded, it took up little space, but the desk was always nearby, even on the battlefield. And later, doctors liked this multifunctional furniture, allowing them to store doctor’s instruments and medications in order.

Currently, written secretaries decorate modern interiors, combining work area and a spacious closet.

Do-it-yourself secretary - a useful design for organizing your workplace

The aristocratic look of furniture with a retro touch fits perfectly into both traditional and modern interior styles. The main thing is to choose the right shape, color and finish of the secretary.

Secretary in the interior: implementation capabilities

At the moment, secretaries in most cases are made “antique”: from dark wood, with carved decor. Such furniture is perfect for the traditional style of the interior, also for the Art Nouveau, Baroque and Rococo styles, but will absolutely not fit into modern styles. When choosing furniture for such an interior, it is necessary to change the approach and look for more laconic forms with the absence of conspicuous finishing. Such modern secretaries are also found in small quantities on the furniture market. And if previously they were made only from solid wood, now this furniture can be made from MDF, laminated chipboard, finished with veneer. And only a few can afford a secretary made of solid wood.

Ancient secretaries are usually huge in size, they are made of expensive wood, have a rich black color (brown, burgundy) and are decorated with carvings. Such aristocratic furniture, which emanates solidity and chic, is perfect for traditional interiors.

Secretaries in the Art Deco style have stylish shapes and in most cases are made in black or snow-white. And writing cabinets in country style are usually of ordinary shape, without decoration, and from time to time have scuffs on the body.

In modern interiors, the secretary is sometimes part of a furniture set and represents one of the “wall” sections. This seems to be a built-in workplace that does not take up much space and, at the same time, is part of the headset.

Where can I put a secretary?

This versatile type of furniture is mainly located in the living room. Representing a small-sized workplace, it easily places a laptop on its own surface, table lamp and there is still room for various folders and books. After work, all these accessories are put away and the lid is locked, turning the secretary into an ordinary closet or chest of drawers.

But no matter how comfortable and capacious the secretary is, it is not intended for long-term use. You can’t put a desktop computer on it, and it’s not very comfortable for your feet to constantly rest against the drawers. But as a candidate for a home mini-office, it is amazing.

The secretary can be placed not only in living rooms, but also in the library, office and even in the bedroom. The main thing is to find a place for a small-sized workplace, where it does not interfere and does not take up unnecessary space. square meters. A corner secretary-chest of drawers fits this description perfectly, as it allows you to store different things in a large number of drawers, and when the lid is open, it plays the role of a desk.

Where to put the secretary

A small-sized workplace is needed not only by adults, but also by children. From time to time, a secretary cabinet for a schoolchild is placed in the nursery; in this case, it replaces a desk and houses portable computer equipment and other study supplies. Perhaps the best option would be to use a large desk for work and study, and a secretary for a laptop or computer, but each parent chooses furniture based on the dimensions of the children's room, so there are no need for advisers here.

The secretary and the bureau are two siblings

Often, together with the secretary, they also look for the bureau. Both types of furniture represent a small-sized workplace, only a secretary is basically a cabinet with a retractable or hinged lid, and a bureau is a type of table with an add-on. The latter stands stably on 4 legs and has small dimensions that fit perfectly into any interior. Meanwhile, the presence of a work surface and shelves for papers allows you to use it for short-term work, for example, while sitting at it you can pay bills or write a shopping list for the store.

Both the secretary and the bureau are a type of functional furniture, but the first one has more functions, but the second one is more compact. There is probably no need to have both of these pieces of furniture in your apartment at once, so it’s up to you to choose which is more necessary or which is better.

Changing the environment has a beneficial effect on well-being, mood, and creates a satisfied perception of the world.

Currently, some structural elements of buildings, for example, stairs, have long ceased to carry only a multifunctional load.

Solving the issue of installing an air conditioner in an apartment is quite complex and requires a lot of knowledge and special equipment - for an ordinary person, even if he is familiar with the basics of repair and technology in the field...

A modern person has to overcome increased mental stress, especially if he lives in a large city and is exposed to stress every day.

The easiest way to create a convenient place to store your own things is to create it yourself. This approach eliminates multiple adjustments and approvals. It allows you to personally control all important work operations. The availability of a variety of components in the relevant market segment simplifies the task. This article talks about what a high-quality DIY dressing room is. Drawings and diagrams, photos and Additional materials will help you implement the most complex ideas without errors and extra costs. Even if you decide to give the order to specialists for execution, this information will be useful at all stages of the project from formulating the task to accepting the assembled structure.

Rules for organizing storage of things, basic provisions

The storage of clothes and shoes, accessories and jewelry must be thought out taking into account individual capabilities and needs. There is no point in thinking about a young couple planning frequent moves. A set of cabinets may be sufficient. Difficulties arise when allocating a separate room is simply impossible.

To find a suitable cabinet, after compiling a list of personal requirements, you can find a specialized store on the Internet. This article examines in detail the creative process of implementing unique projects using serial components.

Below are the basic rules and important nuances that must be taken into account for a quality organization:

• You can install a dressing room with your own hands in a separate room, or allocate a part of the passage, room, etc. for this purpose.
• The corresponding volume must be used to the maximum extent possible. The structures are installed from floor to ceiling.
• It is necessary to leave passages sufficient for convenient use.
• For each type of item, suitable storage spaces are created, taking into account size, weight, and storage requirements.
• Provide conditions suitable for fitting: free space, .
• Visible parts are created with improved aesthetic characteristics.

For your information! The cost is assessed taking into account the initial investment, the expected service life, the cost of installing furniture components, construction and finishing work.

Preparation of design documentation for the dressing room: layout with dimensions, drawings

This figure shows the dimensions of the dressing room, parameters individual elements. The author of the project was able to organize storage spaces in the corners. He installed hanger rails at different heights to accommodate long coats and short jackets. Even without a thorough study of the market, it is clear that such a structure can be assembled from standard boxes and other inexpensive standard components.

However, there is not enough data for a full-fledged project:

• Absent entry group. Meanwhile, the usual one will be expensive. The relevant parts need to be carefully thought out.
• Information about finishing must be added to the documentation. Here, for example, there are no provisions back walls furniture. Therefore, the side planes of the room must be covered with a layer of washable or other non-staining material that is resistant to mechanical stress.
• There is no artificial scheme. When equipped ironing board You will need to install a 220V power supply.

The project should be considered in its entirety so as not to miss truly important nuances. Once a photo of a suitable do-it-yourself dressing room has been found, drawings and diagrams can be entrusted to professionals to prepare. They know the range of components well. They have specialized software to create three-dimensional layouts that are convenient for carefully examining objects from different angles. Of course, the corresponding services are provided free of charge only when purchasing components from the appropriate store.

A well-prepared project should have the following components:

• A drawing of a structure installed in a specific location in an apartment (house).
• List with sizes, prices and other parameters of individual parts.
• Data on electrical wiring, general construction and finishing works.

At a certain point, all this no longer fits into a traditional wardrobe. A logical question arises: isn’t it necessary? Layout with dimensions, types of wardrobes, lighting features and many other nuances are in this material.

What kind of dressing room can be installed with your own hands: drawings and diagrams, photos of typical designs

For preparation, a preliminary study of well-established engineering solutions will be useful. Please note that the dressing room in can be supplemented with a structure similar in purpose in,. It is permissible to use various combinations and create unique modifications taking into account the architectural features of a particular property.

Corner dressing rooms in the hallway

It should be noted that at the entrance to a residential property, increased attention should be paid to the appearance of the interior. System sliding doors has the necessary functionality and aesthetic characteristics. In order not to load wet things into a closed volume, it is recommended to install it nearby. To remove moisture, use carefully so as not to dry out genuine leather shoes.

The last project is suitable for equipping a relatively small hallway. By removing the partition, the passage and free space are increased. It will be useful for trying on. To simplify this mandatory procedure, the door is often installed with overhead lighting.

Linear type of dressing rooms and cabinets

Such solutions are used when equipping niches, for installing several functional parts between columns. If necessary, the facade is covered with sliding doors.

Parallel type

The same solution is used in wide aisles. To create the impression of greater volume, use light colors for decoration. In rooms without windows, they are especially carefully designed.

DIY built-in wardrobe parts can be perfectly combined with architectural elements. With accurate calculation and high-quality installation, it will visually align flat surfaces premises. Typical furniture, with right angles on the contrary, highlights the slightest irregularities.

L-shaped

The picture shows an example with a protruding column that had to be covered with panels. In the standard version, the recess is used for its intended purpose. Since access to the far part is difficult, rarely used items are placed there

U-shaped

Please note that there are no wide gaps. Unlike standard cabinets, here architectural parts are used as separate walls. A do-it-yourself dressing room can be precisely built into a room of complex shape. During operation, displacement is excluded. It is permissible to use significant loads (with the correct calculation of supports and shelves).

For objectivity, it is necessary to note the disadvantages of built-in structures:

• They are designed for stationary use in a specific location. Dismantling and transferring to another facility is difficult or completely impractical.
• The ideal connection of all components and the room is achieved by experienced specialists. Creating a high-quality dressing room with your own hands will cause certain difficulties.
• Fixing structural elements spoils the walls in the room. This point is not too important, since stationary long-term operation is assumed.

Dressing room in the bedroom

Using such a layout, you can study the design from different points, check the width of the passages, and make sure there are no obstacles when the doors are open.

Such solutions are quite suitable for a private room. This option offers the following advantages:

• quick search for things;
• Free access;
• good ventilation;
• affordable cost of components;
• easy installation.

For your information! Such parts, unlike built-in furniture, can be moved around the room and transferred to other places without unnecessary difficulties.

This project does not provide for construction or special finishing work at all.

Below are comments that will be useful when clarifying the design parameters for a small dressing room:

• The top shelf (1) may not be needed if boxes are to be placed on the bottom shelf.
• This support (2) must be designed to withstand future loads. If things weigh a lot, it is necessary to install reinforced cantilever fastening elements.
• To lift heavy objects to great heights (3), you can use a microlift, but this will complicate the design.
• It's easier and cheaper to use a stepladder. It, skis, fishing rods, and other long objects are placed in a special wide slot (4).
• The dimensions of this place (5) are established taking into account the dimensions of certain equipment.

Requirements for individual parts of the structure

There is no need to make the floor in the dressing room with your own hands if there is supposed to be a full-fledged fitting area. Sharp heels will quickly damage something that is not strong enough flooring. It is better to choose an option that is more resistant to mechanical stress. Don't select too much vibrant views decorative finishing to minimize distorting external influences. This approach will simplify the formation of a harmonious image during the selection of individual components of the outfit. The suitable surface should not be slippery. In some situations, installation of the system will be useful.

In the same way, taking into account functionality, convenience and future use, other components of the do-it-yourself dressing room project are chosen.

Features of the power frame

The supporting parts of the structure are made from different materials, with different types of finishes. This table shows the distinctive parameters of popular options:

The definition with suitable details is determined by a complex of factors and a specific purpose. So, to ensure transparency, glass and plastic parts are installed in prominent places. Inside there are lattice structures.

Choosing doors for a dressing room

It's easiest if there's enough space. The use of a standard canvas with a swing system does not need to be considered in detail. Below are other engineering solutions with comments about the advantages, features and disadvantages.

Storage systems in the dressing room

Hooks, rods, and shelves are inserted into such surfaces. If necessary, you can quickly change the location, remove unnecessary ones and add the necessary functional elements in the dressing room with your own hands.

They are rigidly attached to the wall with a fixed width distance. However, the shelves can be installed at different levels as needed. Any user can quickly perform the corresponding transformation without the use of additional fasteners.

Cantilever mounts (1) provide versatility and easy access. Floor-supported structures (2) are highly durable. They are designed for storing heavy items. Mobile modules (3) are equipped with wheels.

Design projects for dressing rooms, photos with comments

The presence of a dressing room in the house helps to free the living space from bulky furniture, optimizes life and allows you to quickly find the right thing. You can equip such a room by turning to professionals and ordering a ready-made storage system made to individual sizes. Less expensive and at the same time interesting solution– DIY dressing room: drawings, diagrams and photos with useful tips on arrangement will help make the process easy and fast.

For those who intend to assemble a wardrobe system with their own hands, it is necessary to pay attention not only to the size of the room itself, but also to the possibility of a compact and rational internal filling. To achieve maximum accuracy, it is recommended to first develop drawings and diagrams of the future storage system. Ready-made do-it-yourself wardrobe design projects, photos and diagrams will serve as a clear example when creating your own version.

The uniqueness of the corner layout lies in the fact that for a dressing room you can use places that are usually not used in any way and are difficult to access. For example, this could be a corner where doors or windows are located in the walls that form it at a short distance from the center of the corner. Such space is usually empty, so dedicating this area to a corner dressing room is the most successful and practical option.

Depending on the area allocated for the dressing room, the corner space can be separated from the main room in several ways. If there is enough space, they arrange plasterboard partition, and in the case of minimal dimensions, an open storage system project is suitable. Many people use a corner wardrobe in the hallway, which is a worthy alternative separate room. Photos of do-it-yourself dressing rooms will serve as a clear example of creating a storage area.

Helpful advice! When cutting off a corner for a dressing room, it is best to use plasterboard slabs: this material is quite light, it cuts well and is easy to install.

If you prefer a corner dressing room in the hallway, which will be separated from the main room, then you can arrange the interior in two ways: along one or two walls. The scheme of the first option is a storage system compactly assembled along one wall. It is recommended to leave the racks and shelves open, which will save space. The remaining space is used for movement around the dressing room, as well as a fitting room.

In the second option, the location of the filling is planned along two walls. The main advantage of this filling is its compactness with maximum capacity. However, it is worth considering that you can simply enter such a dressing room, but you will not be able to use it as a fitting room. This filling method is suitable for families of several people, where the main task- fit the belongings of each member of the household to the maximum extent possible. For filling, storage systems with a set of corner components are used, which provide good ergonomics in a small space.

Corner dressing rooms in the hallway can be fenced off using swing doors, accordion doors or lightweight sliding partitions However, it is worth considering the features of the hallway. If the room is quite modest, swing option absolutely inappropriate. Radius ones look impressive sliding systems, the content of which is selected in unison with the overall interior.

Arrangement of a dressing room in the bedroom

Photos of DIY wardrobe systems installed in the bedroom indicate that this is one of the most common and convenient options. The feasibility of creating a dressing room in the bedroom can be determined by calculating the area of ​​the sleeping area. If the size of the bedroom significantly exceeds this parameter, you can safely proceed to self-construction dressing room.

There are several schemes for organizing the internal space in a dressing room. This could be a design of a linear storage system, arrangement of modules in the form of the letter “P” or “L”, as well as parallel placement of racks and shelves. The most optimal version is a U-shaped dressing room. This layout maximizes the filling of the room and at the same time allows you to leave room for movement around it. As a rule, U-shaped dressing rooms require enough square footage, however, they can easily fit in modest areas.

Helpful advice!An interesting idea is to arrange a dressing room in the bedroom behind the head of the bed: it is separated by a light stationary partition or sliding systems.

For small bedrooms, where it is not possible to isolate 1.5 - 2 m from the room, they are limited to a wardrobe in the bedroom. Such furniture is compact, it does not take up much space and is distinguished by well-thought-out filling. Methods for filling wardrobes can be found in catalogs of websites that sell and manufacture furniture. Ready-made sets of storage systems with a narrow specialization for clothes, shoes and accessories are characterized by unsurpassed ergonomics.

If the layout is such that Walk-in closet is a pass-through, the parallel arrangement of storage systems is the best fit. Do-it-yourself drawings of racks and shelves in the dressing room indicate that with this filling method it is not difficult to move around the room, and the storage system can accommodate everything you need. The most convenient combination is a bedroom-dressing room-shower room. But there may be other options.

Design of a dressing room from a storage room 1.1 by 1.5 m

Many professional designers believe that using a space smaller than 2 sq.m. for a dressing room is inappropriate. However, photos of dressing rooms from small closets indicate that even such a small space can be successfully planned for a functional storage system. It is in such work that the professionalism of designers is tested. After all, it is necessary not only to transform the pantry into a dressing room, but also to take into account the interests of everyone who will use it, given the lack of square meters.

Projects and drawings of such dressing rooms require accurate calculations and optimal internal content. Shallow shelves are very relevant for filling a dressing room measuring 1.1 x 1.5 m. If you do not fence off the room with a door, the shelves can be moved outside the pantry and then they will become part of the furniture of the room and effectively complement the interior. In this case, shelves and racks are designed in such a way that they flow smoothly from the dressing room into the room.

A photo of small dressing rooms from closets clearly illustrates the options when the entire length of one of the walls is used for a storage system. With such a project, you can carve out additional space so that you can enter the dressing room to find the things you need. However, in order to make maximum use of the mini-wardrobe space, it is recommended to arrange them as a niche, which is separated from the main room by an accordion door or a sliding sliding door.

Helpful advice! When filling a small dressing room, you should place things so that the most frequently used ones are located in the middle part.

Dressing rooms in Khrushchev instead of a storage room

The main difference between modern dressing rooms and pantries is the presence of an ordered system of shelves, mezzanines, drawers, hangers and other components for convenient storage not only personal belongings, but also items and equipment of various shapes and purposes. In addition, such systems are designed in such a way that all objects and things are visible and easily accessible. There are hundreds of options for dressing rooms, the layout and content of which depends on the area and budget of their owners.

Before making a dressing room with your own hands, it would be useful to familiarize yourself with the basic planning solutions for dressing rooms. The fact is that in large apartments, as a rule, separate rooms are already provided for dressing rooms. The owners just have to equip them suitable systems storage But in apartments of the old housing stock, storage rooms are allocated for such needs, the dimensions of which are quite small.

If initially there is no storage room in the apartment layout, a dressing room can be arranged anywhere. This can be a combination of a dressing room with a bedroom, hallway, hall, nursery and other rooms. Experts recommend dedicating several areas for storage systems, for example, in the bedroom and hallway, if possible. In an ordinary Khrushchev-era building, the space for a dressing room is determined at the stage of redevelopment, which is pre-approved by the relevant authorities.

The choice of a suitable dressing room project depends on the layout of the apartment itself. In many Khrushchev buildings, the standard apartment layout included a storage room in the bedroom. This room is formed by enclosing part of the bedroom with a partition across the entire width of the room. The entrance to the pantry can be from the bedroom or from the adjacent living room. In some apartments, the pantry is located at the end of a long corridor, part of which is fenced off with a partition.

Assembling a wardrobe system with your own hands: basic principles

Filling the wardrobe storage system depends entirely on the specific requirements of its owners. In addition, the budget allocated for these needs also plays a role. The filling of a dressing room can have several design options. Those who have certain skills in assembling furniture can independently assemble and install cabinet modules in the dressing room. Most often, such filling models are made to order according to individual sizes.

The cabinet structures are quite spacious, fit perfectly into the space and facilitate neat storage of things. Elements of housing modules have standard sizes. They are equipped with a choice of various accessories, which are assembled according to the type of construction set. But it is worth considering that cabinet-made shelves and racks are quite bulky and take up a lot of space, which is why they are not recommended for filling modest-sized dressing rooms.

For small dressing rooms, the assembly of mesh structures is suitable. This type of filling is compact, light and transformable. The design elements are easy to install with your own hands, do not visually overload the space and are inexpensive. For those who choose such filling, it is worth considering that cellular storage systems cannot be overloaded with too heavy objects.

Frame storage systems are appropriate both in small dressing rooms and in rooms with significant dimensions. The assembly diagram consists of metal racks that are mounted between the ceiling and the floor. Further, shelves, drawers, racks and crossbars are attached to them, which practically “float in the air”. This filling is characterized by ease of installation, lightness and strength of the structure itself.

Helpful advice! Whatever storage system you choose, in order to achieve maximum comfort when using the dressing room, you must follow the principles of ergonomics.

Check out the photos of do-it-yourself wardrobe rooms using various systems storage is possible on the Internet, where users share their works. In addition, it will be useful to ask about filling options from professionals.

Basic rules for organizing storage of things

Not only quick and convenient search, but also their service life depends on how correctly things are placed in the dressing room. Therefore, it is very important to properly organize the interior space of the dressing room. To do this, it is necessary to plan in advance the storage areas for various things and objects. It is recommended to divide the wardrobe into several functional areas:

• lower compartment - shoes, small accessories (umbrellas, bags) and trousers should be stored here. The height from the floor should be no more than 70-80 cm. It is better to store shoes on special inclined pull-out shelves (height about 30 cm for summer shoes, 40-45 cm for winter shoes);

• middle compartment - used primarily for storing frequently used items. There are rods, pantographs, and pull-out shelves for storing small toiletries. Depending on the length of the items, the height of the middle zone varies from 140 to 170 cm. Approximately 100 cm is allocated for compartments for storing shirts and jackets. Knitted items are conveniently stored in baskets and boxes installed on shelves;

• upper compartment - equipped with racks for storing bulky items and seasonal items: blankets, pillows, tote bags, suitcases, as well as sports and household equipment.

Modern storage systems are hard to imagine without innovative components. These include various holders for trousers and skirts, belts, ties, scarves, boxes for various small items, textile holders for bags and much more. The press hanger for trousers is very convenient to use: it is equipped with hangers for a jacket, a hanger for a belt and a tie. All holders are equipped with special soft clips that do not leave marks on clothing.

Self-conversion of the pantry allows you, with minimal investment, to acquire a practical and functional dressing room for storing necessary household items and items. In addition, the personal transformation process will provide the opportunity to implement a personal interpretation to meet individual needs.

How to make a dressing room so that things are stored in one place and you don’t have to look for them different rooms and cabinets. Its installation does not require a large area; even in small apartments, if desired, there is a suitable place.

The advantage of a dressing room made by yourself is that it will be made in a way that is convenient for you to use, it will cost much less, because the work will be done using the material found in the house. Another positive side is that its presence will eliminate unnecessary furniture in the apartment.

Where to start making

There are many ideas for equipping a dressing room. There are all kinds of systems and devices for storing things. When getting started, you should think about and plan the progress of the work in advance.

Layout and drawing

You should start by determining the location, dimensions of the dressing room and a drawing of the plan, indicating the dimensions. A drawing is drawn on a reduced scale, the planned systems, fixtures, and drawers are inserted. Systems should be distributed ergonomically without overloading the space.

When planning, it is necessary to take into account the distance between the shelves:

• for storing things - at least 30 cm;
• for shoes (without heels) - 20 cm;
• for shirts, jackets, jackets - 120 cm;
• trousers - from 100 – 140 cm;
• dresses - 150 – 180 cm;
• coat - 180 cm.

On top, it is more practical to make shelves for things that are not used often. And below, a place for a vacuum cleaner is recommended.

The dressing room is not located in a walk-through room; it is better to place it between the bedroom and the bathroom.

Filling

With limited space, it is not recommended to make furniture from wood, MDF, or chipboard in the dressing room. This material will reduce the small area. Today, storage systems made of metal are popular; they are lightweight and modular. They are installed on special racks that are mounted on the wall, floor, or ceiling. The racks are equipped with many notches, with the help of which the height of the shelves can be quickly adjusted. Material for making shelves - wood, metal, plastic. The shelves are of the pull-out type.

These storage systems are sold, but are expensive. It’s more economical to make it yourself, from chrome-plated furniture pipe.

There are many options for arranging dressing rooms: rods for trousers, skirts, all kinds of shoe stands, drawers for small items. They are retractable - convenient and functional

Material selection

Suitable for production:

• Wood (chipboard) is a common material, able to withstand the load of things, absorbs moisture, and is economical.
• Plastic - used plastic panels different sizes.
• Metal - aluminum is most often used, it is light and durable. The structure is well ventilated. The cost is more expensive than chipboard.
• Glass - contributes to the visual expansion of space. Suitable for high-tech, modern style.

The finishing is made from any material: wallpaper, glass wallpaper, ceramic tiles.

When finishing, you should take into account the location of additional lamps for the shelves, making holes in advance. The built-in mirror in the door looks original

How to make a dressing room: open and closed type

When choosing a type, you should take into account all the nuances: location and rational use of space.

Open view

An open dressing room is a structure for storing things, not separated from the living space by a partition. She must answer general style rooms. Recommended for use when there is a shortage of free space in small apartments.

The advantage of the open design is that everything is at hand. Minus - clothes gather dust, they should be placed carefully so as not to spoil the appearance of the room

Closed view

A closed dressing room is separated from the room by a wall and has doors. It ensures order in the room, since the contents of the cabinet are hidden.
The closed dressing room has a large area and has a well-thought-out organization of the storage system.

A closed wardrobe is convenient and allows you to try on and care for clothes right in the dressing room. The arrangement requires a large space, which is not possible in ordinary apartments.

DIY dressing room example

The first step is to note the height and width of the shelves and sliding doors in the niche of the future wardrobe. In our case, the depth of the niche is 1.4 m, taking into account the protruding box

The box is necessary to hide the pipes and install the water meter. Let's not forget to leave space between the shelves, because... titanium will be present in the dressing room. We also provided space for an outlet between the shelves.

• We purchased a 5x5 block to solve the problem of placing the rolling door. Reason: the ceiling height is 275 cm, but the suspended ceiling takes another 10 cm;
• We will install aluminum rails at the top and bottom for door mobility;

• In the Leroy Merlin hypermarket, where we shopped, there is a service for cutting shelves using large machine. Having previously measured the length and width, and estimated everything on paper, we ordered shelves with a width of 30 cm and 60 cm. The service is very convenient, because shelves ready for installation will be delivered to your home. You will only have to use a hacksaw if the corners are uneven;

• Don’t forget about the addition for finishing the cabinet on top, which we buy in wenge color. The width of the extension is 10 cm. To attach the hangers, we purchase two round metal holders. We check again: the distance between the shelves is 40 cm, we fix the small corners 5 cm from the edge of the board. We place large corners immediately below them, so that later we can attach the end guide to the floor and wall (it will have to withstand a large load);
• We fix two large corners in width, and 4 in height. For this stage of work, we will take care of purchasing a level;
• We recommend using a long level. To install the end guide without any problems, you need to tighten the corners on the floor in advance. Don’t forget to measure the distance on the wall with a level. Then we proceed to installation;
• We initially planned to create a dressing room, although the box is made of plasterboard. Previously, aluminum guides were passed inside, which are attached using corners;
• We adjust the length of the aluminum guide using a hacksaw. On the right side of the wardrobe there is a rolling door that can slide to the side, and on the left there is a large shelf 60-2.70. Internal shelves are attached to the latter;
• Let us repeat that the top is trimmed with an additional 10 cm of wenge color;

• Inside the wardrobe, but on the left side, there is space at the bottom for boots and other shoes. There are also a lot of shelves installed here and a power outlet. We left room for titanium. Even further to the left is a niche with a depth of 25.5 cm. During installation, we used shelves 30 cm long so that more boxes could fit here;

Wardrobe type

Arranging a dressing room - important point, it is worth considering the installation location, and based on this, choose the type of model.

Angular

An excellent option if you have a free corner in the room. A corner cabinet is more practical than a straight one. It can accommodate: shelves, drawers, rods.

Zoning corner cabinet carried out different ways. Finish the corner with plasterboard and make doors, hinged or sliding. It is possible to fence off a corner with doors, like a coupe

Linear

Linear - similar to a large wardrobe. Mounted along a wall that does not have windows or doorways. It is fenced off from the room in several ways:

• plasterboard wall with sliding doors;
• sliding doors on the entire wall;
• cornice on the ceiling with a curtain.

A linear model with open shelving, looks great in a loft style room. The main thing is to successfully select the material and color scheme cabinet

U-shaped

U-shaped - ideal for a long room. On one side there is a bed, on the other there is a dressing room. It can be in the form of closets or as a full room.

Having fenced off the space, you should think about the lighting, divide it into 4 zones: for outerwear, shoes, short items and for trying on

Parallel

Designers recommend using this type in wide, long corridors. Consists of two cabinets, standing friend against a friend.

A parallel dressing room can be closed, in the form of cabinets, or open, with racks and shelves

Wardrobe dimensions

The dimensions of the dressing room are determined taking into account its location and use. Ideally, it should have space for storing clothes and an area for changing clothes.
The optimal size is calculated individually, it is necessary to take into account:

• size, location, shape of the room;
• presence of a niche;
• location of windows and doors.

Measurements must be taken accurately so that no difficulties arise during the installation process.
The width varies and is calculated as follows:

• if the cabinet is on one wall, the width is its depth, plus the width of the doors;
• if there are no doors, but there are drawers, the width is two depths;
• when two cabinets are located opposite each other, the width is two cabinet depths, plus two door widths and a passage.

A prerequisite for size is that the doors must open freely and not interfere with unhindered entry into the room. If the dressing room is narrow, you should not make large cabinets

Ventilation and lighting for the dressing room

In the dressing room, ventilation is required, as odors will appear in a closed space. It should be planned in advance. There are two types:

• Natural - air comes in from below and comes out from above. To arrange ventilation, it is necessary to make holes in the closet, at the bottom and at the top, for air movement. This method does not always give full results.
• Forced - means installing a fan in the hole. It is better to install a forced hood - it will provide a suitable atmosphere for storing things.

The exhaust hole is made on the opposite side from the inlet. It’s great if the exhaust vent goes into the ventilation

The dimensions of the holes must be determined in accordance with the area of ​​the dressing room.
A wardrobe is not a closet, but a room with shelves and drawers. To quickly find the thing you need, you need good lighting. Better, multi-zone:

• on the ceiling - general lighting;
• for illumination of shelves - additional rotating lamps.

The ideal solution is to install a motion detector to turn on the lighting. It's economical and convenient. And the lighting of the shelves looks beautiful and stylish

Doors for dressing room

When making a wardrobe with your own hands, it is important to choose the right doors. The comfort and ease of use of the room depends on a well-chosen model. Common types are:

1. Swing doors are practical, but require space. Protect from sunlight, dust, with a high degree of sound insulation. They are the most affordable in terms of cost.
2. Accordion doors are compact and fold like a screen. The structure is fragile and consists of many slats.
3. Compartments are popular, the movement of the doors is carried out along the cabinet, no additional space is required.
4. Roto door is a non-standard solution. Suitable for loft and hi-tech style. The door is installed on a special mechanism, which allows it to rotate around its axis and open in any direction. Free space is required for installation.
5. Pencil case - the doors are hidden in the wall, no extra space is required. Convenient for small apartments. But the installation of such a structure is complex; without experience, it is difficult to do it yourself.

Accordion doors look beautiful. They transform the room, adding some zest to the interior

The material for making doors is different:

• Wood looks aesthetically pleasing and is an environmentally friendly material. But wooden door heavy and expensive.
• Glass or mirror are popular today. Doors decorated with stained glass will decorate the room and make it larger.
• Plastic is light and cheap. Plastic doors less durable and not as beautiful.

To make the door to the dressing room look stylish, it should be decorated with inserts of mirrors with a sandblasted pattern or elements of relief glass.

The door looks original and unusual, giving the apartment a modern, fashionable look. But not suitable for classic style

Arrangement: filling and storage systems

For the practical use of a dressing room, you should properly arrange it and select acceptable options for storage systems. You should not come up with complex, intricate designs.

Clothes placement system

Exist different designs for storing things, the main ones include.

There are attachments for skirts, trousers and tie hangers, and clips on them allow you to secure the item. Very convenient if the hanger extends

Shoe storage system

There is always a lot of shoes in the house, it is important to organize a system for storing them, compact and convenient. The ideal solution is to place shoes on shelves or in special cabinets. It’s good if there is a compartment of the appropriate size for each type of shoe. And when using pull-out shelves, space is saved.

If space allows, it is worth equipping a full-fledged built-in shoe storage system. It has special shoe sections - convenient to use, shoes do not gather dust. Shoe racks are produced different sizes and have various ways installation, so it’s easy to match any dressing room.

An original design for shoes - it looks like pins with modules on a retractable frame. Compact and convenient system

Shelving

A rack is a structure consisting of racks and attached open shelves. Usually it is metal. Access to things stored on racks is free. Their main advantage is modularity. They vary in size and number of shelves.

Where to make a dressing room

Not every apartment has room for a full-fledged dressing room; you have to arrange it in the most suitable premises.

Dressing room in the hallway

It’s convenient to make a dressing room in the hallway; you don’t have to clutter the room with large wardrobes. A dressing room in the hallway involves storing outerwear, but if the space allows, you can arrange storage for all things. A good option- built-in wardrobe, finished to match the walls of the hallway itself. A mirror is a must-have detail; you can’t do without it in the hallway.
You can do:

• Closed - a large wardrobe, often with compartment-type doors.
• Open - racks, shelves, hooks for clothes. The option requires maintaining order, since all things are in sight, but takes up less space.
• Combined - consists of closed cabinets and open shelves. Convenient, things that are not used often are put away in a closed part.

The dressing room in the hallway should be installed along a large wall. If the area is small, ideally - corner, from floor to ceiling

Arrangement of a dressing room in the bedroom

The bedroom is the room most suitable for a wardrobe. The models are different - with a large area, it is possible to make an entire dressing room. If the bedroom does not allow it, then it is better to use:

• open shelves and mobile hangers, decorated with decorative drawers;
• small built-in wardrobe made of plasterboard;
• partitions made of mirror or glass, which will visually enlarge the room.

A dressing room in the bedroom separated by a screen or curtain on a curtain looks good. This storage system is convenient in a small room

Design of a dressing room from a pantry

Making a dressing room in a pantry - good decision, especially for small apartments. It’s simple to do - you need to remove everything unnecessary, decorate it in a light color scheme (this will increase the space), replace the doors (preferably a compartment type) and fill it with: racks, racks, shelves.
Since the closets are small, you should equip them with mirrors, thereby making more space.

Dressing room in Khrushchev instead of a storage room

Khrushchevka small apartment with a standard layout. The only advantage is the presence of a storage room; it can be easily converted into a dressing room yourself. Depending on the size, you can make it into:

• built-in wardrobe - the niche already exists, all that remains is to install doors and install shelves and hangers;
• equip it with a full-fledged system for storing things - dividing it into zones and filling it with functional systems.

It is important to think about the arrangement of furniture and shelving. For rational use, space should be used from ceiling to floor

In the attic

The advantage of an attic dressing room is saving living space, the ability to collect things in one room, making them easy to find. In such a room there is room for all types of clothes and a fitting room.
