Beauty requires not only sacrifice, but also freedomplaces. This is especially true if we are talking about such a secret place for any woman as a toilet room, or at least a toilet corner in the bedroom. How to organize it, what should be foreseen in advance, and what you shouldn't worry about at all - read in our new material
Interior design expert at the online hypermarket MebelVia, Liliya Shulga, told us how to create a small island of feminine joys in the bedroom.
Organizing your own corner in the bedroom,like an actress's dressing table, cannot be called a whim of a pampered oligarch's wife, because it not only pleases the owner, but also solves household problems. With a normal layout, the presence of a mirror, as a rule, is assumed in the bathroom and in the hallway. Sometimes it is in the bedroom, most often as a door to a sliding wardrobe. But keeping dry cosmetics in a room with constant high humidity is harmful, and you can't put tubes and jars in a wardrobe. Therefore, an organized dressing table is a place to store many women's "things": creams, decorative cosmetics, jewelry, elastic bands and hairpins. Scattered in different places of the apartment, they can cause discontent among household members, and often force the hostess to waste time looking for blush left somewhere and lost hairpins.
A thoughtful approach
If there is renovation going on in the apartment, it is worth it in advancethink over and decorate the place where the dressing table will be located. However, it is preferable to have the same wall finish throughout the room, and the same rule applies to the floor. Recently, designers have generally abandoned different coverings in rooms, since masking the joints creates additional difficulties and is visually distracting.
Yulia Borisova, interior designer:
— In one of my projects, I somehow quitea small bedroom, about 20 meters, divided the area with a glass partition with a canopy. Behind the partition on both sides of the window there is a desk for a computer and a decorative small bureau table with a mirror. Since the glass partition is sliding, it can be left in different positions and use a curtain. This is an excellent technique for a small two-room apartment, if one needs to sleep and the other needs to work - and vice versa, in the morning, without light getting into the bedroom, you can go behind the partition and tidy yourself up. The curtain that divides and decorates the bedroom can be pulled apart, it serves as a partition and adds volume to the room.
Zoning is paramount
To designate interior zones, they often useceiling, it can be a decorative thematic painting or voluminous, slightly lowered plasterboard structures, painted in the general tone of the ceiling. Here it is appropriate to place spotlights, spotlights, directed just at the dressing table. By the way, it is better to place it near the window to get enough illumination during the daytime and be able to check makeup in natural light. It is worth equipping the corner with additional lamps, this can be either an LED strip around the mirror, or sconces on both sides of it.
Screen or shelving?
Separate a feminine corner in the bedroom asan independent zone can be created using an open shelving unit. There are models additionally equipped with storage drawers. A screen will add a romantic atmosphere to the interior. This piece of furniture is coming back into fashion, today there is a wide choice of screen designs. When folded, they are compact, some can be put away in closets. And when fully folded, they also have a practical function: having finished with makeup at the table, you can finally put on a dress that is hanging right there on a hanger.
Selection of furniture
Choose your furniture carefully. For example, a chair on wheels will look more like an office and work area, so choose a regular chair, but one that is comfortable in height, backrest position, and rigidity.
A classic example of organizing a women's corner in the bedroom is a dressing table with a large mirror and a small ottoman.
Yulia Kirpicheva, interior designer:
— A women's dressing table is an interior item,the aesthetic side prevails over the ergonomic one. You need to approach its choice creatively, for comparison, as if you were buying a clutch to emphasize the image, and not a backpack for everyday comfortable wear.
The dressing table can be chosen to match the overall style of the bed and wardrobe, but it should not be one piece of furniture.
Details in interior design are very important.Make an accent on the ottoman. For example, the ottoman's upholstery (or the edging of the upholstery) can contrast in color with the table's finish. For example, the table's finish is dark chocolate-colored veneer, while the ottoman can be upholstered in soft blue satin.
An alternative to a dressing table in caselack of space in the bedroom can be both a chest of drawers and a wall shelf. In this case, a mirror, which will be paired with the above items, should be an accent.
The mirror can be hung on the wall or placed on the floor.
The mirror can be framed in various shapes:colored, stucco, with a pronounced texture. The mirror should be large and located next to or on the same wall as the window / windows. kirpichevaj.com Dressing table
The choice of dressing tables is great.Don't forget to provide for a mini-chest of drawers and hanging shelves if the dressing table has few shelves. Also, if the area of the room does not allow for a separate table, consider an option with an extended custom-made window sill. It would be logical to purchase a large mirror on a stand and a lamp that can be tilted and turned in different directions to complement such a solution.
Build your own kit
It is not necessary to “chase” to buy a set,the main thing is to select similar items. For example, made of the same material, or, on the contrary, modern, bright, painted in contrasting colors. If the mirror is finished with aged gilding, the same technique can be used along the edges of the chair.

Don't forget about the overall harmony in the interiorbedrooms. For example, an aged grandmother's dressing table will look harmonious in a vintage interior, but will not suit a modern minimalist or Scandinavian decoration with simple shapes and light colors. And if the whole room is done in soft, muted pastel colors, velvet decorative pillows are used in the decor, then a sharply outlined table made of mirror panels and a transparent plastic chair will look alien. mebelvia.ru
Modern interior design solutions are aimed atto make the space comfortable for living, and not just beautiful. And in this sense, a private corner in the bedroom will become a place for a woman where she can slowly and comfortably, that is, sitting and in good lighting, apply makeup, do her hair and manicure, and choose accessories.
