This key area should be adapted to the lifestyle of the house. Enrique Magnallardo, head of inspiration and layout at Ikea France, reveals her secrets to making her wardrobe a practical, beautiful place.
Ask the right questions
“At Ikea, when we think about equipment or space, we put ourselves in the shoes of our customers. We ask ourselves three questions. What are my activities? What needs do they create? What are the possible solutions? To create or revise your wardrobe, you need to take the time to think about your lifestyle. For example, if I have young children, I can avoid the stress of the morning ժամանակը save time by choosing an organization where everything is visible, easily accessible. Specifically, this means that the wardrobe prefers shelves rather than drawers, in short, to create an open wardrobe. »
Have the courage to sort
“We can not keep everything. And that’s the key to an organized wardrobe. Of course, there are pieces to which we are very attached, և we must keep them. But we must also let go of those that are superfluous, or that bring with us memories that do not always reward, like the jeans of the 1980s, in which you no longer fit. They will have a second life with others. Classification of vertebrae with a better neatness and sense of space, which has become very important for the French since their arrest.
Look for multifunctional solutions
“The wardrobe should not only take into account the” wardrobe “aspect. You can add hooks to everyday items that you use often or to hang the next day outfit. You can also add a trunk footrest that allows you to easily hold and wear your shoes. Ikea has a standing mirror that acts as a clothes rack. All these solutions make life easier և provide additional service. ”
Master the mess
“The dressing room is closely connected with the bedroom. It is often located in this room, which has become an area especially under detention, where we carry out various activities, there we work remotely, there we do our yoga, there we watch soap operas, there we iron, there we dry laundry. Therefore, it is possible not to be overwhelmed with all the items and equipment necessary for this activity. Therefore, we provide a mix of closed storage, such as boxes, that allow you to store clothes that you do not use in summer or winter, such as sports equipment. We think about accessories, we provide small boxes so as not to lose the jewelry. We label, we classify.
Think about lighting
“Lighting is often underestimated. The lighting quality of the dressing room, however, is key. It makes it easy to find what you are looking for, to start the day gently in the morning without lighting an entire room, especially when your partner is asleep. It makes a real difference in terms of well-being. ”
Do not ignore the look
“The dressing room also contributes to the appearance of the room where it is located. Therefore, it must be designed with this dimension in mind. For example, in small areas we will prefer mirror doors. You can paint the doors in colors that match the colors of the walls to bring unity. You can also choose very soft textile curtains to strengthen the spirit of the cocoon. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account not only the functional side, but also the aesthetics.
Prioritize the outline
“If the dressing room should be designed in accordance with the general atmosphere of the house, then simplicity and comfort should be distinguished. Indeed, our report on home life shows that 27% of French people want a home that is easy to clean, tidy, two elements that reflect and contribute to a healthy environment. With this in mind, it is better to choose light finishes, wood, white, soft materials. After all, these are the codes of the hotel industry, as this design also facilitates sleep.
Guess his passions
“While it is possible to choose items that contribute to well-being, you should also feel free to personalize your wardrobe, to express what stimulates your mind. So, if you like sneakers, you can provide shelves for displaying them. The same goes for bags and jewelry. in short, you must also allow your passion to speak. This is what gives character to the wardrobe.
Think of the bed as an extension of the wardrobe
“The bed, especially in small areas, can be an extension of the wardrobe. The now widespread storage bed is a real plus for storage և organization. You can also work on a hat, which, if it is higher, allows you to hang clothes. This is a nice dimension when you know that 65% of French people dress in their room.
Combining technique ությունը comfort
“We integrate comfortable elements in the dressing room that give comfort. Why not provide a rug that softens barefoot as it helps reduce noise? Curtains to hide certain shelves, pads on the soles of the feet բոլորը These are all often textile details that add personality և reinforce a reassuring sense of well-being. ”
