The dressing room is the first room/area of ​​the house, so it must be distinguished so that it fits well with your entire residence. In addition to being beautiful, it must be functional in order to suit everyone's needs. Regardless of the size or configuration that is appropriate for them, locker rooms have the common objective of being organized and efficient. Complete with independent shoe boxes, storage for backpacks and lady's handbags and other compartments for outdoor items, the "mudroom" eliminates clutter and allows you to add a design touch to your home. This article will allow you to find the inspiration you need to carry out this project through the tips and advice of interior designers who are experts in the field.

Our interior designer's first tip: the "Farmhouse" style, which is defined by practicality and comfort, using simple materials like wood. White, beige and pale gray are revealing colors of this style. A second important aspect is that nothing matches exactly. Modern design is meticulous to match the minimalist elements of a room, the “Farmhouse” design is obviously different. The association of vintage chairs with a new sofa, old trinkets, antiques mark this type of layout.


Optimize your hallway

If you ever lack space, you can always use a hallway near an exterior door to set up your locker room. This corridor will quickly be transformed into utility space. Integrate custom furniture with specific compartments for each member of the family. Here's a new interior designer tip.



Keep it simple

We all want to prevent clutter from taking over our locker room, but there are certain elements that we no longer know where to locate. In order to maximize your square foot, many interior designers will advise you to choose a cabinet concept that will go from the floor to the ceiling in order to be able to conceal the items that you wish to keep out of sight. .


Open and closed storage

When you create the layout of your favorite room, you have the choice between two types of storage, closed or open. Our interior designer proposes to mix the two in order to give a more refined style. Also, in order to isolate this room, you can install sliding doors. These will allow you to close the room when you have guests for example, while making it accessible on a daily basis.

If you love color, you can choose bold hues. Paint storage or cabinet compartments in a bright color and keep the walls neutral for balance. Adding wallpaper is also a great way to add a personal touch to this room.


The outside locker room

In order to keep your house clean and tidy, the trick used by our interior designer is to set up a changing room outside, under a covered roof for example or in an adjoining room. In this way, we prevent dirt from invading your interior. You can equip your space with coat hooks, wall storage (cupboards and hooks), seats, a basin, etc. In short, anything that can be useful.
