A corner dressing room can be a great solution, but one cannot ignore the disadvantages that it has.

• The main disadvantage is the tightness of the inner space of the corner wardrobe. There is enough space to place all the planned things here and change clothes, but you cannot arrange a bedside table, armchair or other similar objects inside. For many users, this moment is very important.
• Against the background of the corner space, it is unlikely that it will be possible to install a large full-length mirror. This problem can be solved by means of mirrored doors.
• Another significant disadvantage of the structures under consideration is their poor sound insulation. Basically, for the installation of such wardrobes in the apartment, the lightest veneer or MDF doors are used. These details are very good at letting in any sounds. If some manipulations in the dressing room are carried out in the early morning, this can greatly interfere with those households who are still sleeping.
• Some types of construction are quite expensive. This is especially true for non-standard corner wardrobes, characterized by unusual and complicated shapes. To install these options, you often have to buy expensive composite components.

Corner wardrobes are different. They differ in their structure, shape features, and internal content. Let's take a closer look at the most popular variations of such designs.

Trapezoid-shaped corner wardrobes are in demand. Thanks to such a structure, it is possible to form more rational proportions in the room. The trapezoidal wardrobe has impressive storage capacity. The inner part of such a structure can be divided into a certain number of separate zones set aside for certain positions. Many users prefer these options, but they are not suitable for extremely narrow rooms.

This form of dressing room is more familiar and widespread. L-shaped structures are placed simultaneously on several corner walls. These wardrobes are characterized by high functionality and spaciousness. In the inner part of this option, cabinets or shelves are placed along a line along the walls, and their connection occurs in the corner. Clothes can be stored here both on shelves and on bars, hooks, thanks to which it is possible to effectively sort different things.

There is enough space in the L-shaped dressing room to conveniently place various storage systems that differ from each other in terms of functionality. Often, doors for the design in question are selected as a compartment, but standard swing parts are also suitable. The second types of doors take up more free space when they are open. To save space, it is better to give preference to L-shaped dressing rooms equipped with compartment doors.

The corner wardrobe can have a round or semicircular structure. Such types of structures are chosen in order to save as much as possible unoccupied square meters in the room. But round options have one serious drawback, which is the laboriousness of their design and installation. In practice, the price of all the constituent parts of the structure under consideration turns out to be much higher than in other cases.

Semicircular options look especially attractive and harmonious in the living room or in the hall. It is best to install a structure with sliding doors here on special roller guides. Such dressing rooms are able to perfectly fit into many interiors. They are very easy to use.

The five-walled dressing room is characterized by large dimensions. In its design, additional walls are provided, due to which the entire system, as it were, moves forward. As a result, the space in the interior expands noticeably, and the base room takes on an unusual shape.

For a small-sized city apartment, a triangular-shaped wardrobe will be a win-win option. These modifications are characterized by high levels of comfort when placing various things here, but at the same time they do not take up too much free space in the room.

The doors to the triangular dressing room can be made semicircular. Due to this, you can achieve more impressive spaciousness and space.For this, high-quality radius compartment doors are exhibited, which move along round-type guides.

To assemble a corner wardrobe, it is permissible to use various materials. Wardrobes are often made of sturdy metal racks. Especially harmoniously and attractively, these solutions fit into the loft-style furnishings. In such structures, the necessary rods and shelves are placed in the space between the racks. Metal systems are characterized by the fact that they are very practical, functional.

Often, dressing rooms are built from drywall sheets combined with metal profiles. The sheets are attached to a pre-prepared metal frame. Plasterboard construction will cost less in terms of manufacturing. Subsequently, it can be trimmed with the material you like.

The space inside the dressing room in question must be carefully thought out. To properly exploit a place in a corner, you need to properly install storage systems. Due to this, it will be possible to prevent chaos in the wardrobe, to make its operation as comfortable as possible.

It is imperative to equip a comfortable dressing area. It should be organized even if there is a mini-wardrobe in the room. The indicated area can be very small. It is recommended to install a mirror in it. If this is not possible, then it should be fixed on the door. To save unoccupied space, it is worth fixing a spiral bar in the corner. Also, a good solution would be to install a pantograph lift.

You should not "mix" together male and female wardrobes. It is advisable to qualitatively divide the available space into separate zones. If a child lives in the family, then for him, too, you will need to allocate at least a small place in the event that there are no other zones for the location of his things. To equip a "children's corner" in the dressing room, it makes sense to resort to installing a bar with an adjustable height parameter.

Let's consider in detail what a high-quality and practical filling of a corner-type dressing room can be.

• It is necessary to organize a dedicated area for outerwear. Its height must be at least 150 cm.
• The area designated for storing children's items must be at least 90 cm high.
• The area for those things that will be stored folded must also meet certain requirements. The height of the shelves here should be at least 35 cm, the depth - from 45 cm, width - from 50 cm.
• It makes sense to equip drawers in the dressing room designed for small items. This is, for example, underwear. It is advisable to install these components of the structure at a level of about 1 m from the floor, but the height should not exceed 1.2 m.
• You will also need shoe racks. Usually they are equipped above the area designated for placing outerwear here. The optimal parameters for the width of this component of the dressing room are from 80 to 100 cm.

The compartment, which will be intended for outerwear, should be as close as possible to the entrance to the dressing room. In order to accommodate as many pairs of shoes as possible in the structure, it is advisable to carry out the shelves only horizontal, without tilting.

You can install a table or pouf only in a large-sized dressing room, since the operation of small spaces with these components will be less comfortable. If, after arranging all the planned things, there is still free space in the dressing room, then here it will be possible to additionally place an ironing board and an iron. It will be very convenient if there is an outlet in one of the nearby walls.

The design of the corner dressing room can be different. Its appearance must be taken very seriously, since an unattractive wardrobe can ruin the whole look of the room in which it is equipped. Let's consider in detail which design options will be the most stylish and aesthetic.

• The perfect solution is a white corner wardrobe, made in a modern style. It can be equipped with sliding glass doors on metal guides. Inside such a structure, suspended or built-in lighting devices will be useful.

• A corner dressing room will look good, the interior of which is made of materials such as MDF, chipboard or wood. Light brown shades of such designs can be diluted with a small number of boxes with white facades. Doors for such a dressing room can be made snow-white and hinged.

• In conditions of large free space, you can equip a dark minimalist dressing roommade up of metal structures equipped with open shelves and drawers. So that such a solution does not look too gloomy, it should be diluted with white details, and a snow-white pouf should be placed in the center.

• An elegant solution is the use of rich and rich colors. The interior of the corner rounded dressing room can be designed in a bold combination of orange and black shades. In such environments, it is advisable to install as much light as possible.

The design of the dressing room, like its internal structure, must be thought out in advance. You can apply to a variety of colors and shades. If the dressing room is made very small, it makes sense to choose mainly light colors for its design. Together with large mirrors and enough light, such paints will visually make the space more spacious.
