The dream of a dressing room - our tips for realization

Is your closet bursting at the seams? We all feel that way sometimes. We have too many beautiful pieces. And you don't really want to part with them. Do you dream of having enough space for these things? We at MöbelFirst advise you to have a dressing room! A room specifically for clothes, shoes and accessories. However, it should not only serve as a functional storage space. Today we'll show you how to design your dressing room to create a cozy retreat.

The first step towards a walk-in closet

Careful planning is important before you start furnishing. This begins with an inventory of your existing clothes and accessories. This will help you determine how much space you really need. You can also sort things out during the appraisal. Are there any defective items? Does everything still fit? Are all the clothes still being worn? Only items that are actually being used should move into the new dressing room.

Also consider the size of the room. The available space should be used as efficiently as possible. You are welcome to create a sketch for this. This will give you a better overview. You should also consider the positioning of the windows and doors. Be sure to include these in your plans. Is your dressing room rather small? Take a look at our magazine. There you will find tips and tricks specifically for furnishing small rooms.

From a simple closet to an oasis of well-being

One or more closets are the heart of every dressing room. When choosing one, pay attention to the type of clothes you want to store. Do you have a lot of clothes that are folded? Or do you need more space to hang clothes? Decide accordingly. In smaller rooms, we recommend a sliding door wardrobe. The doors do not protrude outwards when opened, saving space. Suitable additions to closets are chests of drawers These offer additional storage space. Smaller items such as underwear and socks can be stored here. Jewelry and accessories are also in good hands in a chest of drawers.

Shoes should always be stored separately from clothing. Accordingly, you should also think about shoe cupboards! Are there items that need to be quickly accessible? Or are there perhaps items that you want to display? In these cases, a wardrobe or clothes rail can be useful. However, please note that the clothing is not protected here. Sunlight can cause the fabrics to fade. Dust also tends to accumulate in open structures. This can damage your clothes.

A full-length mirror is a must-have in every dressing room! You can also use a closet with mirrored doors. This allows you to do without an additional mirror. The lighting in the dressing room is another key point. Everyone has experienced poor lighting in changing rooms. Colors often look different in the dressing room than in daylight. Of course, we don't want this to happen in our own dressing room! It is therefore essential to ensure that the room is well lit. Avoid heavy curtains in any case. The more daylight floods the room, the better.

Cosiness for your dressing room

Make sure you create a cozy atmosphere! This will turn a functional room into the retreat we talked about at the beginning. It's best to choose light colors for the design. Natural and pastel shades are particularly suitable. They give the room warmth and a friendly feel. You can also combine different materials! A dressing room should also be a place of inspiration. Wood, fabric, even glass. There are no limits to your wishes here.

To create even more coziness, decoration is essential. For example, place a fluffy rug or runner. Also think about a place to sit. An armchair or a dressing bench are the right choice here. This will create a place to linger. We also recommend using decorative elements with a personal touch. Use private photos and memorabilia. Plants should also feature in your dressing room.
