Specialization: master in construction drywall constructions, finishing works and laying of floor coverings. Installation of door and window blocks, facade finishing, installation of electrics, plumbing and heating - I can give detailed advice on all types of work.
If you constantly have problems with storing seasonal items, and the hanger in the hallway or hallway almost falls apart from the load, then it makes sense to think about creating a special place to store clothes and other items. I will talk about how a drywall dressing room is built in the bedroom or any other room where at least a few square meters of space can be allocated. The technology of work is always the same, you just have to develop individual project for your house or apartment.
Things to consider before starting work
Before we begin to deal directly with the workflow, you need to familiarize yourself with the recommendations that will help you choose the optimal location and determine the size and configuration of the dressing room:
| Layout features | Recommendations |
| Thoughtful location | You must think very carefully about the location of the clothing storage structure. If in private houses and apartments new layout it is not difficult to find a place for a dressing room, then in Khrushchev you will have to break your head. Ideal if you have a pantry or a niche, but if there is nothing detailed, then you will have to separate part of one of the rooms |
| Optimal area | The generally accepted norm is 6-8 square meters, but not everyone can afford so much. The minimum allowable compartment size must be no less than 1x1.5 meters. In general, you should think about what will be stored in the room and, based on this, calculate the size, because you can take it out there and ironing board, and a mirror |
| Location and design of the door | The entrance should be located so that it is convenient to enter and leave the premises. Wrong installed door not only creates a lot of inconvenience, but also reduces the usable area that can be used for storage |
| Smart interior layout | We will consider this aspect in more detail below, here it is only worth noting the fact that you need to plan the design of cabinets or racks in advance. So you can make adjustments to the project if the storage system does not match the location of the door or the configuration of the dressing room |
| Rational costs | If you are ready to spend money right and left, then it is easier to order a huge wardrobe for yourself or to involve specialists in the work. But I will tell you about the cheapest option, when you spend money only on materials, and do all the work yourself, this reduces the cost of the project by at least half. |
The dressing room should harmoniously fit into the overall interior, the option when one corner is separated and a narrow passage to the next room is left on the side is not suitable - solving one problem, you create others.
Construction construction
So, you have thought over the location of the dressing room, determined how much area you are ready to allocate and know exactly the size and configuration of the future structure. This information is enough to start work. Perform them in the correct order, then you will not get miscalculations and flaws due to the fact that you did not do what you needed.
Design
The most important stage, if you make a mistake here, you will get so many problems in the future that such a situation may turn out that it will be easier for you to demolish the structure and make a new one than to eliminate the shortcomings caused by ignoring the planning process.
Let's figure out what needs to be done:
- First of all, you need to draw a sketch of the compartment in which the dressing room will be located. if this is a niche or an old pantry, then everything is simple: you need to measure the actual area and transfer the results to paper. If you will finish part of the room, then you need to carefully plan the size of the structure to a centimeter and determine its configuration, the example shows a complex, but practical option with bevelled corner;
- Next, you need to define optimal dimensions racks, shelves and compartments for storing outerwear. The depth of the shelves should not be more than 50 cm, the distance between them is 30-40 cm, for bulky items the height should be 10 cm more than their size. Compartments for outerwear are calculated based on their number and length of clothing, usually their height is about one and a half meters. Minimum Width the passage should not be less than 80 cm;
- Based on all the above information, you can create a rough sketch of the future storage system. If you can’t decide on its configuration, then look at ready-made solutions on the Internet and take a separate option as an example or assemble your project based on a few sketches you like, it can be difficult to find a ready-made solution for certain sizes;
- Remember to take into account the position of the door and its size, it can be as normal swing version, and sliding structure like wardrobes. To implement it, you do not need to be a pro - there are ready-made kits with guides and rollers on sale that are suitable for ordinary door panels and are installed according to simple instructions. The price of such a set is around 2-3 thousand, depending on the quality;
- In order for all your racks to be strong and reliable, they need to be very well fixed to the wall. Having a ready-made project will help you determine in which places the storage structure will be fixed, where it is worth laying additional elements frame, if needed. Thus, you will simplify your life and get rid of the headache of how to attach the rack and not break through the wall.
If you have two balconies, then one of them can be taken under the dressing room, so you can deal with the trash by placing it in the closets, and additionally get a full-fledged wardrobe without reducing the living space at all.
Necessary materials
Now let's figure out what is needed for the work, let's start with the materials for arranging the partition:
- Rack profile PS-2 with a size of 50x50 mm, it is quite enough for the construction of a solid wall, and we do not need a large thickness, since a thick partition takes up extra space. We do not need special heat and sound insulation; in the dressing room, these indicators do not matter at all. In the kit, you also need to purchase a guide profile, it is attached around the perimeter and sets the position of the future wall;
- For sheathing the structure, drywall with a thickness of 12 or 15 mm is required, choose for yourself. In fact, no load on the structure will be affected, and the humidity in the room should not rise above the norm. Therefore, it makes no sense to spend money on moisture-resistant drywall or gypsum fiber boards;
- The internal cavity of the partition will be filled with mineral wool, this is necessary in order to create a minimum heat-insulating layer that will allow maintaining an optimal microclimate in the compartment. And the walls, when hit, will not ring like an empty bucket, which is also important;
- To finish the surface, we need putty, a mesh for seams and a primer to strengthen the base after work. As a top coat, I recommend using washable paint, this is the easiest and most inexpensive option, which is both reliable and attractive, because you choose best color and you can change it from time to time;
- Lighting is also a must, so be sure to purchase wires, a switch, and an outlet. It is best to use LED lights, they are economical, safe and very durable;
- Do not forget about the door and a set of accessories for it, it all depends on what type of construction will be used. As for the door leaf, choose the option that suits the interior, no expensive products are needed, there will be no load on the structure.
As for shelving and shelves, it all depends on the project you have chosen. The cheapest and most popular option is chipboard, which is good because you can choose any color and texture. Another plus - if you have on hand finished project construction, then you will be cut the material into the required pieces, you do not need to suffer with sawing, you will get elements of the ideal shape.
Naturally, a set of accessories is also purchased, which can be picked up in the same place as chipboard.
I once assembled shelving from cut material, and I liked the process for its simplicity and high speed of work. The main thing is to have an assistant who will hold the elements during fastening.
Frame construction and wiring
Now we will figure out how to make a drywall dressing room, the work begins with the construction of the frame, and this process consists of the following steps:
- First you need to use the level to mark the future position of the guide profile. You can mark with a construction pencil, and for better visibility in some places stick a masking tape along the line. For quick and accurate marking, you can use a chopping cord, it is very convenient to use;
- Then you can start drilling holes for the dowels, it is best to attach a profile and make markings along its holes so as not to drill holes in it. Dowels are used for fastening quick installation 6x40 or 6x50 mm long. Accordingly, the diameter of the drill must be 6 mm, and the working length is at least 10 mm longer than the dowel;
- The profile is fastened quickly and reliably: dowels are inserted into the holes, after which an impact screw is driven in, which bursts the structure in concrete, ensuring reliable fixation. If your floor is wooden, then you don’t need to drill anything, you can simply screw the guides using ordinary wood screws 25-30 mm long;
- Then you need to install vertical racks, for this they are inserted into the guides in increments of 60 cm and fixed with special self-tapping screws which are called bedbugs. If you have a corner in your design, then you need to strengthen it by installing and connecting two profiles to each other, so the wall will be much stronger;
- In the place of the doorway, the structure should be strengthened by additional jumpers. Also, jumpers are placed throughout the structure, do not forget about the location of the shelves and racks and place the horizontal elements at the right height so that you can later attach them to them.
When the profile structure is ready, it's time to start laying the wiring, it can be laid right inside the frame in a special corrugated hose, and as for the walls, you need to make strobes in them. If you have good finish, and you don’t want to spoil it, you can put the wire in the box, it will still hide behind the shelves, and the dressing room will look neat and attractive. The wires are brought out to the locations, switches and sockets.
Structural sheathing and its putty
When the frame of the future wall is built, you can begin to sheath it, the do-it-yourself work guide is as follows:
- Fastening drywall is quite simple: a sheet is placed in such a way that its edges are located on the profile. Next, you need to use self-tapping screws with a fine pitch of 3.5x25 mm to attach the material to the profile, the fastener pitch is 20 cm, you need to twist the hardware so that the cap does not stick out above the surface, but you should not drown it too much, as the sheet may crack or break ;
- Where a whole sheet does not fit, it is necessary to cut pieces of the required size and fasten in the same way. Try to join the elements as well as possible so that there are no wide gaps between them, they will then have to be sealed;
- When the structure is already sheathed on one side, you can start work on the other side. At the same time, before fixing the sheets, mineral wool is laid in the internal space of the frame, which is cut into pieces right size. Otherwise, the work is carried out according to the same algorithm as in the above paragraphs;
- Puttying begins with gluing all seams with a self-adhesive sickle tape, which strengthens the joints and avoids cracks on the surface. Also, before starting work, check whether all the screws are recessed below the plane, to do this, simply run your hand over the surface, if there are no protrusions, then everything is fine;
- The putty is first of all applied to all joints, and the caps of the self-tapping screws are also smeared. If you have corners in your design, then, in order for them to be perfectly even and durable, use a putty corner, which is placed and covered with the compound;
- The second layer is applied to the entire surface with a thin layer, after which you need to wait for it to dry and wipe it with sandpaper. If there are still many flaws on the plane, then you will have to go through the putty again to get a smooth surface;
- After sanding, the surface is covered with a strengthening primer, which will reduce the absorbency of the base and improve the adhesion of the paint. Coloring is done in two layers, the easiest way is to use a roller, it allows you to work quickly and efficiently.
Door and storage installation
After finishing, you can proceed to fastening. If you use ordinary hinges, then a box is placed in the opening and everything is done, as with ordinary canvases. But if you have a sliding design, then the work is done as prescribed by the instructions, which always come with the set. It has detailed diagrams so it won't be hard to get the job done.
As for the storage structure, the list of work depends on the system configuration, I will give some tips on assembling chipboard products:
- Attach shelves to uprights it is possible either with the help of special furniture screws-confirmants, or using shelf-holder corners. The first option is more reliable, but requires drilling holes with a special drill, the second is simpler, but the connection strength is somewhat lower;
- When you start assembling a cabinet from cut pieces, do not forget to glue the ends that are facing out. To do this, a special edge is used, which must be heated with an iron so that the adhesive composition melts and adheres firmly to the chipboard, the work is simple, but requires accuracy, for the first time I personally touched the iron several times and burned myself;
- For the construction of rods for hangers, a furniture pipe is purchased desired length, which is attached with flanges, is a simple and reliable design option. The main thing is to use a pipe with a larger wall thickness so that it does not bend under the weight of heavy things;
- If you choose to install and drawers, then they need to be collected according to the scheme shown below, it is best to use fiberboard as the bottom, and the side walls can also be made from uncoated chipboard, only the outer element that is attached to the front will be visible. On the sides it is necessary to install guides, the length of which depends on the depth of the boxes;
- There is no point in putting doors in the dressing room, which simplifies the work, open system more convenient and allows you to quickly find the things you need.
Conclusion
A dressing room is not a luxury, but a very rational design for storing all things, you can do without wardrobes, which will make the rooms more stylish and modern. The video in this article will help you understand some of the nuances in more detail, and if you have questions on the topic, then write them in the comments under this review.

- if there are difficulties with determining the appearance of this compartment, then it is advisable to view the photo in the selection in order to take any finished drawing as a basis;
- it is important to decide whether there will be a door in the structure, because if it is planned, then it is decided what size it will have, and whether it will be standard, hinged or sliding;
- do-it-yourself wardrobe drawings and diagrams of which can be seen in the selection must be made of durable, high-quality, therefore, all the elements contained here must be securely fixed, therefore, the fasteners used for these purposes are thought out.

Tools and materials
Making a dressing room on your own requires the advance preparation of various materials and tools used during this work. At this stage, you should use the information calculated, obtained as a result of the design.
Mandatory elements are prepared:
- rack and guide profiles designed to create a frame for a future wall, and their thickness should not be significant, since partitions that are significant in thickness take up too much space, which is not suitable for a limited space;
- drywall used in the process of sheathing partitions, and it is desirable that its thickness varies from 12 to 15 mm, and it is also recommended to use a moisture-resistant material;
- to improve the soundproofing parameters, it is recommended to fill the space of the frame with some suitable material, and an excellent solution for these purposes is considered mineral wool;
- materials for finishing work, and this includes putty and mesh to strengthen the putty layer, as well as finishing material, and paint, wallpaper, and various wall panels can be used;
- to create high-quality, uniform lighting, lighting devices are purchased, as well as wires for wiring, sockets and a switch;

The whole process is easily implemented independently at home, and it is recommended to watch the training video in advance to take into account the nuances of work. Consistent and correct actions are performed:
- marking is applied to the walls in those places where it is planned to attach the structure to the walls, and for the correctness of this process it is necessary to use the building level;
- holes for dowels are created, and it is important to know how to make them correctly, since they must be located where there is a markup for this;
- the profile is fastened, and this process must be done quickly, reliably, for which dowels are inserted into the holes made in advance, where the screws are hammered, and then the profiles are attached;
- we assemble the structure, for which the ventral racks are mounted, inserted into the already fixed guides, and the distance between them should be approximately 60 cm;
- if it is planned to manufacture a dressing room with a door, then where there will be an opening, it is necessary to strengthen the structure, for which special jumpers are used.

Pencil case
Often a special pencil case is arranged in this room. It is a narrow and long closet designed to store various clothes or other not too large things. Often it is additionally equipped with a special hanger in the form of a frame, which extends from the side. The number of shelves in such a pencil case can be different, and it is determined depending on the number of people living in residential real estate.

- under the dressing room door, a sufficiently large gap is certainly left through which fresh air will enter the room;
- in the process of erecting partitions, special technological gaps are certainly left;
- small holes in the walls can be created above the baseboards;
- if the work is done in a private house, then it is recommended to do it on the floor at all air vent closed with a strong and fine mesh grating.

If you wish, you can make a dressing room yourself, if you are familiar with the construction business, it will not be difficult for you, and for beginners it may not seem so tricky business. Not everyone in the apartment has an extra room for dressing room equipment, but you can build it from drywall in any part of the room.

If you are familiar with the construction business, it will not be difficult to make a dressing room yourself. The markup is done, start mounting the frame. We fix the support bar with dowels to the wall, so that it is even, we use building level. We place vertical profiles in the recesses, they must be with brackets for hooks and shelves, and fix them. The distance between the profiles should be 60 cm. We mount guides on the ceiling and on the floor. In the grooves we place vertical racks. We fix the crossbar and hooks on self-tapping screws.
After the markup is applied, you can cut drywall The next stage of work is cutting drywall sheets of the desired size. Then we fasten it to the screws inside the structure. We sheathe the GKL on the outside. We use mineral wool as insulation and place it inside the skin. A lamp is suitable as a backlight inside the dressing room, but if there is no socket inside, then use led strip or spotlights. For this design, the most ideal option there will be a mirrored sliding door. This will visually expand the room, it will be brighter.

We turn to the finishing of the wallpaper sticker, painting, can be sheathed with wood or other material. It all depends on your taste and, of course, financial capabilities. The main thing is that the finish is in harmony with the overall interior. Inside the dressing room, it is better to use calm tones.

- putty,
- primer,

If it becomes too difficult to store seasonal items in the apartment, and there are not enough hangers at the entrance for all the clothes, then you need to make a pantry. This special storage provides for the placement of various items and equipment.
In most cases, the structure can be made of drywall, using part of the bedroom or corridor for this. Any square meters, which can be separated by a partition, are converted into storage. Consider how a do-it-yourself drywall pantry is made in an apartment or house and what needs to be prepared to start work.
After determining the place where the pantry room will be made, you need to figure out what area can be allocated for the structure and what configuration it will be. This information is enough to start the refurbishment. It is important to follow a certain sequence of work in order to prevent flaws or miscalculations.
How to make a project?
Designing a project is one of milestones pantry arrangement. At the slightest mistake, you can get backfire leading to the demolition of the building.
First of all, you need to sketch a compartment with a pantry. If there was already a storage at this place, then it is enough to measure the area and draw a diagram on paper. When decorating a room, the design is calculated to the nearest millimeter, and the optimal configuration is selected.
There should be about 80 cm left in the aisles for the movement of a person. Based on these data, a sketch is drawn up. If you have difficulty choosing a configuration, you need to study standard projects or assemble your project from a few of your favorite design details.
Accounting for doorways
The presence of a door and the type of its arrangement significantly affect the entrance to the pantry, as well as the size of the opening. The door can be made as swing doors or as sliding canvases like wardrobes.
For the installation of such systems, you do not need to hire specialists, since you can buy ready-made systems with rollers and guides for them. These components are installed in any door leafs and done very quickly. In terms of cost, they differ in availability - only a few thousand rubles.
Increasing the reliability and durability of the rack is achieved by its careful fastening to the walls. If there is a finished project, then there are fixation points on it. Experts recommend making additional frame elements so as not to be afraid to spoil the wall or damage the rack.
You also need to pay attention to the loggia or balcony - in the case when there are two such rooms, one of them is usually given as a pantry. In this case, you can get additional usable space in the apartment for a comfortable stay without trash and unnecessary things.
Material selection
To install a structure made of plasterboard profile, you need to purchase a rack profile PS2 (50 * 50mm). This material is enough to equip a wall strong enough for a pantry.
The design of such a profile will not be very thick in width and will not take up much space. From the point of view of sound insulation and heat conductors, the dressing room does not need such parameters. The profile is attached around the entire perimeter and determines the location of the vault walls.
The structure is sheathed with drywall (GKL profile 12-15mm). There will be no loads on the partition, the humidity inside does not exceed the permissible values. It is pointless to choose a profile with increased resistance to water or moisture, as well as profiled gypsum fiber boards.
Mineral wool is stuffed inside the structure, which is necessary to ensure minimal thermal insulation. The microclimate inside the pantry, even in the absence of food, must be maintained in order so that things do not deteriorate. In this case, there will be additional soundproofing of the structure. The surface is finished with putty. For seams you need to use a grid. The base is reinforced with a primer.
top coat may be washable type paint. This option will be quite reliable and inexpensive, if necessary, the color can change. They make lighting, for this you need to buy a socket, wires, a switch in advance. To save energy, you need to choose LED-type light sources. Lighting will be reliable, durable and safe.
Shelving selection
Racks and shelves are selected from materials according to the project. Chipboard boards that fit any design will cost the cheapest. Color and texture, inexpensive price make the plates the best option.
The advantage is the ability to simply cut the material into pieces desired shape, which frees the owner from buying or renting expensive sawing equipment. Accessories are purchased, selected for a set of chipboard. Racks need to be assembled from already cut pieces, in which case the work will be of high quality, simple and fast. Assistance may be required to support parts during installation.
How to make a frame and wiring?
Consider the sequence of arranging a pantry from a drywall profile. First of all, you need a frame, which is quite simple to make. A partition is being constructed, markings are applied on the wall, floor and ceiling, holes are drilled for the guide profiles, the elements are fixed, racks are placed and the door with lintels is installed.
markup
Using the building level, markings are applied under the guide profile. Marks are made with a pencil, masking tape can be glued in dark areas. In order for the marking to be accurate, they take chopping cords that are easy to use.
Holes are drilled to install dowels, while the profile is applied to the wall and marks are made in the holes. To fix, you need to take a dowel 6 * 40 ... 50 mm, then the installation will be quick. The drill should be 6.0 mm in diameter with a length greater than that of the dowel.
Profile fixing
You can fix a profile very quickly. A dowel is inserted in each of the holes, a screw is driven in, bursting the entire structure to be mounted inside concrete surface. This mount is very secure. They do not drill in floors, especially wooden ones, since the guides are simply screwed with 30 mm self-tapping screws.
Vertical racks
Vertical racks are installed, which are inserted in increments of 0.6 m into the grooves (guides) and fixed with self-tapping screws. Experts call them bedbugs. In cases where the design has an angle, it is strengthened by connecting two profiles. A wall with such a mount will be more reliable.
At the door, the structure must be reinforced with additionally mounted jumpers. They are also made throughout the rest of the structure, especially in the places where shelving and shelves are attached. Horizontal jumpers are fixed on right level by connecting other parts to them during the installation process.
After the construction of the frame, wiring is made from the profile. It is laid inside the structure in corrugated type hoses. Strobes are made on the walls. To avoid damage to the finish, the wires can be laid in a box that is hidden behind the shelves. In this case, the pantry looks neat, since all communications are led to sockets and switches.
Structural sheathing
As soon as the wall frame is made, its sheathing begins. The sequence of actions is also not recommended to be violated. Drywall is fixed simply - the sheets are placed on the profile with edges and fastened with self-tapping screws with a fastening step of 20cm.
Hats should not protrude above the surface of the structure, but also not go deep into it so that the sheets do not burst or crack. In places where the sheet cannot completely fit, it is cut into parts of the required size and installed in the same way.
All elements must be joined so that there are no gaps, but even the smallest must be sealed. Sheathing work is repeated on both sides, but mineral wool, cut into pieces of a suitable size, must first be laid inside the structure. The rest of the work is repeated.
putty
First of all, you need to glue all the seams. To do this, you need a sickle - a self-adhesive tape that allows you to strengthen all joints and prevent cracks on flat surface. All caps of self-tapping screws are checked, which should not protrude above the surface or sink too much into it. It is enough to run your fingers to feel where there are violations.
Putty is applied to the places of all joints, glossing over the caps of self-tapping screws. IN corner places for evenness you need a special putty corner. It is placed and carefully covered with the same composition as the rest of the surface. The second layer should be thin, and after applying it, wait until it dries completely.
With help sandpaper the surface is rubbed off. In the case of multiple flaws, it is necessary to reapply putty until the surface acquires a smooth state. After that, a strengthening primer is applied, which will allow the base to absorb paint less and increase the adhesion of the layer. Finishing painting is carried out with a roller in two layers, so the work will be carried out quickly and with sufficient quality.
How to put doors and shelves?
As soon as finished Finishing work, doors are placed. When installed on ordinary hinges, the box enters the opening, then all work is carried out as when installing a conventional door. For sliding structures, you need to use the instructions in ready-made kits with guides. Manufacturers provide detailed information and diagrams to help you get the job done quickly.
Shelf installation
Storage systems are easy to install, but the detailed sequence depends on the configuration. Let's consider how to fix chipboard racks. Shelves are attached to vertical racks with screws and corners. Such options are reliable, but require special drills. When installing with screws, the durability of the fastening is much higher. When assembling from cut pieces, all ends must be glued from the outside.
Experts recommend using edges heated with an iron. Adhesives melt and stick to chipboard. It is important to avoid burns during the heating process. For hangers, rods are installed from metal pipes especially for furniture. They are fastened with flanges, since only this method is considered the most reliable fastening in the structure. It is important to monitor the wall thickness in the pipes - when loading with heavy things, there should be no deflections.
niche is great place for the location of the dressing room, since it does not take up free space in the room. Dressing rooms located in a niche are very popular. Walk-in closet - comfortable spot to store things. All shoes and clothes will fit in it, and you will get rid of the mess in the apartment. Each item will have its own shelf or hanger. And you will always know where and what lies. You won't have to spend a lot of time looking for what you need. You can make a dressing room in a niche with your own hands from drywall.

Having fixed the first sheet, close the space remaining above it with a piece. To cut off a piece, you will need a knife with a sharp tip, such as a wallpaper or stationery. Cut the paper in a straight line (use a rule or rack profile as a ruler).
Break the drywall at the notch, then cut the paper with reverse side. For fastening to wood, use black self-tapping screws with a large thread pitch. The profile can also not be drilled, but pierced with a self-tapping screw. You can attach to a drywall wall with drywall screws, but you need to make sure that all the screws fall into the metal profile.
Otherwise, take a longer dowel-nail so that it goes through the drywall and gets into the concrete. Or there are other options to fix it in the drywall sheet. When all sheets of drywall are fixed, you need to putty all the joints and screw heads. The joints are additionally reinforced with reinforcing tape so that they do not cause cracks in the future.
