Wardrobe storage systems

A dressing room is necessary so that you can store all your things in one place.
Keeping things in order can be much more difficult than it seems at first glance. The culprits of disorder in the apartment can be different. And lack of space, and little time for cleaning, and the number of things exceeding the number of storage spaces. To ensure there is enough space for all your things, you can use storage systems. What kind of person doesn’t want his things to be in perfect order? Every woman’s dream is to have her own dressing room, where shoes are sorted by color and heel height. For many girls, the dream has become a reality; their home allows them to create a dressing room. But how can you turn it into a truly practical place, where everything has its own shelf or hook?

Storage system for wardrobes made of chipboard and other types of systems

The storage system for things in the dressing room should be chosen extremely carefully, because the convenience of arranging things depends on the type chosen. There are a huge number of storage systems on the market and it is very easy to get lost in them. When visiting stores like Ikea, Obi or Leroy Merlin, you can easily get confused in the assortment of this product.

Meanwhile, there are the following types of storage systems in dressing rooms:

  • Chipboard storage system;
  • Metal wardrobes;
  • Mesh wardrobes.

How are they different? A chipboard storage system is often built into a dressing room. This is very convenient for some, because it is easier for them to adapt to the existing order of the shelves. But in most cases, this type of system is called not universal due to the lack of ability to change the position of the shelves at your discretion.

This happens because the chipboard storage system serves both as a frame for the dressing room and as a place for storing things. When ordering this type of dressing room, you need to spend a lot of time planning the space inside.

It will be impossible to change anything later. Among other things, this type of system does not tolerate moisture, so wet or wet shoes, clothes, etc. cannot be placed in this dressing room. A built-in dressing room made of chipboard is good because it will not damage the walls in the house. Everything is already nailed down and nailed down, all that remains is to build it in.

Mesh and metal wardrobes can be classified as a universal type of system, because they can be disassembled, wetted, etc. These two types allow the owner of the wardrobe to plan and re-plan the space as many times as desired, which is a definite plus when the number of things in the house can increase geometrically progression (for shopping fans).

Different storage systems for the dressing room: pros and cons

The above types of storage systems have their pros and cons, just like everything else in the world.

If you choose a built-in storage system made from chipboard, you will be pleased with the following qualities:

  1. It is cheaper than others because of the material: chipboard is famous for its inexpensive cost, especially Russian ones. But, if you suddenly want to purchase a cheap, but higher quality product, you can pay attention to the imported type of chipboard.
  2. In this case, you can always save on details for the dressing room: for example, you can store shoes and boots not in a shoe rack, but on a shelf in a shoe box. Instead of a trouser rack, you can use a regular clothes rail, and put the bags on a shelf rather than on numerous hooks.
  3. Many people are very attracted to the “wood-like” surface; it adds more comfort and warmth to the dressing room, making it more spacious.
  4. The organization of space in this dressing room is such that it is very easy to separate linens from clothes, shoes from bags, etc. with a glance. The space between the compartments looks very stylish.

Mesh and metal wardrobes also have a number of advantages.

These include:

  • The ability to rearrange and rehang shelves with your own hands, add or subtract details at your own discretion;
  • Moisture resistance: If the room is humid, it is better to use a metal or mesh wardrobe.

Now let's move on to the cons. Metal and mesh closets have two significant disadvantages: price and detail requirements. In more detail, the price is inflated (often due to the brand rather than the material), and the accessories must belong to the same system that is installed. The disadvantages of a chipboard type system have already been mentioned above: the inability to change anything in the order of accessories and instability to moisture.

Proper storage of things is the key to comfort in the home

This idea is actively implemented by the company’s specialists. They created the concept known in the world as IKEA storage. The wardrobe systems of this brand are highly functional. They can be selected for rooms of any layout and size. In this case, every centimeter will be used rationally.

Buyers have the opportunity to choose an open or closed storage system. The company's product range includes:

  • wardrobe system . It consists of open and closed cabinets, which are equipped with shelves, drawers, rods, hooks, pull-out hangers, etc. IKEA storage boxes can be equipped with a glass front panel for ease of viewing. Modern stylish furniture is produced in a wide range of colors.
  • open type system . It will help organize the storage of clothes and shoes in the hallway, dressing room, loggia or in any room. All system components (consoles, shelves, drawers) are installed quickly and easily. Its main advantage is versatility. For example, if there is not enough space in the apartment, a deep shelf can be used as a tabletop.
  • Modular system ELVARLI. Easily installed in any area of ​​the apartment. Its elements are made of aluminum and bamboo. Thanks to its stylish appearance, it will fit perfectly into the interior of both a residential building and an office. Various combinations are available - from 1 section to 5 sections. Their contents include removable shelves, a clothes rail, drawers, etc.
  • Modular multifunctional system OPHUS. It can be installed wherever there is free space, and in any form - on the entire wall area or occupy part of it. It consists of cabinets, shelves, universal baskets, drawers. Thanks to the wide range of frame sizes, you can choose a combination of modules that is suitable for a room with any architectural features (sloping ceilings, wall niches, projections, etc.).
  • IKEA storage containers. They are made of plastic, including transparent. Thanks to the variety of sizes, you can purchase a container for storing any things: sports shoes, toys, tools, individual items of clothing, etc. The company’s product range also includes removable dividers for containers.

Choosing storage systems for the dressing room: where to store things

Each room can have an additional storage assistant. The storage system designer allows for any location for arranging a dressing room. For example, in the hallway the best place for a storage system would be a wardrobe. Here you can store absolutely all clothes, from outerwear to home clothes.

The only advice: do not store bed linen together with jackets and coats. Even in a separate closed box. For bed linen, it is better to arrange a storage system in the bedroom or, at worst, in the living room.

What you will need to fill your closet for storing things:

  • Use lots of shelves;
  • Boxes;
  • Baskets;
  • Boxes for storing large items;
  • Barbell in the amount of 1-3 pieces.

Before installing storage system elements, think about what things you will store there and how often you will use them. And it is best to place bed linen in drawers under the bed. It is good if they are closed so that dust does not get into them.

Selecting furniture for a dressing room can puzzle anyone, but we will help you figure it out:

Built-in wardrobe

Wall wardrobes allow you to save space, which is very important for small rooms or when there is no extra space for a dressing room.

Such a wardrobe is practically no different in internal design from Pax wardrobes. The system can be made with sliding doors or without them at all. Often the upper or lower shelves are used to store things that are usually hidden in closets.

Built-in wardrobes are a good alternative to a hallway if it is possible to install them in the hallway. Due to the absence of a box, built-in structures are cheaper than the Pax wardrobe system.

Wardrobe storage systems: where else to spread out

To properly use every meter of space, you can turn to modular storage systems for help.

They may be located in:

  • Ottomans;
  • Sofas;
  • Armchairs;
  • Beds;
  • Nightstands.

You can find a place to store shoes, for example, on the door by hanging a special hanging structure there, or above the door.

The arrangement of storage system elements is limited solely by your imagination. Try to pull yourself away if you feel like leaving something on the floor instead of putting it back. Then your dressing room will be a worthy rival to any design from a fashion film.

Storing shoes in the dressing room: what to pay attention to

It is very important that shoes are stored in a place where they can remain well cared for and last a long time.

Such places include:

  • Rack;
  • Closet;
  • Retractable shoe shelves.

A rack is one of the most popular ways to store shoes. There it can remain clean, protected from dust and other external irritants.

It would be ideal if the height of the rack is equal to that of the dressing room. Then it will be not only functional, but also beautiful.

A separate closet for shoes is suitable for families with a large number of people or for shoe shopaholics. Such a closet should have many shelves and compartments so that it is possible to divide shoes by season, by heel size, and by purpose. The cabinet must be protected by a door. Shoe racks can be modular.

Open dressing rooms Altgot

The Altgot system is an open system for storing things. There are no dull elements here; shelves, racks, baskets, hanger rails are mounted on metal guides attached to the wall. If necessary, the elements are swapped for convenient arrangement of clothes, linen and shoes. Since the open system puts all things on display, you should purchase organizer drawers for underwear that can be placed on any shelf.

Today everyone has the opportunity to buy IKEA wardrobe systems at reasonable prices. The variety in design and functionality allows you to choose the best wardrobe option for your home.

Wardrobe ergonomics: how to store

What needs to be done to make the ergonomics of your dressing room exemplary?

To get started, take care of the following inventions:

  • Hangers for clothes;
  • Baskets;
  • Hooks.

How will these acquisitions help you? Buying clothes hangers will keep your clothes in proper and unwrinkled condition for a long time. This is especially true for dresses, blouses and skirts. Some people like to store them in a folded position, which they later regret. Baskets can be used for underwear, scarves, bracelets, beads, for storing accessories of various kinds, and much more. Everything that can hang should hang on hooks. Namely, belts, bags, towels, jewelry, etc.
