12 Tips to create a small dressing - In a dream world, most women I know (including myself) would like a dressing room the size of a master bedroom. A room dedicated to housing purely extravagant footwear collection, luxurious robes and, of course, independent dressing table, full length mirror and chandelier token. I remember just a few years watching the premier of Sex & The City and there were audible gasps, screams and "oh my goshes" in the scene where Carrie opens the "doors double "in its new self-apartment. Some women have even applauded. Many of us clearly like dressing fantasy.
But here's the thing. In reality, most of us do not have these extravagant dresses, let alone have enough space in our homes to dedicate an entire room for this kind of luxury. And I think we know secretly, too.
The good news is, though, that we can incorporate fun elements and frivolity in what we do have. In fact, there are a few little tricks and treatments that I have learned over the years, you can take, especially if your space is wrong on the small side. I recently turned a small veranda of my room in a dressing (or as I call now: my "dressing") and I incorporate some of these ideas to make my storage section below.

Be savvy with heights shelves
custom shelving built is great, but if it is out of the budget, opt for shelves that can easily change height. This way you can have different heights depending on what you store in there. Take your cue from this, the owner maximizes space by consolidating items of the same height and store them on shelves just large enough to fit them.

the inside of cabinet doors can be used to store accessories such as bags, ties, belts and scarves. All you need are a few hooks. Otherwise, you can pick up small metal rods (including tea towel) that you can attach to the inside of the door and hang the items that way. I did it in my new walk-in wardrobe.

Divide your drawers
I'm a big fan of it. By dividing your drawers into segments, you are able to get much more in them. It makes you feel very organized, because you know exactly where your stockings, socks, ties, etc. are.

Enjoy the white walls
What a way to hang your accessories in an organization (but a little creative) way. It does not take much room, either, and is a much better option than all throw in a drawer because a) they will not be matted, and b) you get to use the drawer for something else.

Install a shoe carousel
OK, this is where you get to indulge your inner Carrie Bradshaw. I love this idea because the corners are difficult and want to maximize the space as much as possible. This is such a savvy solution (and fun to use).

have mobile hanging spaces
This is a similar trick to have interchangeable shelving heights. If you have limited storage space but enough high walls, these adjustable rods are a great idea. Just move and slot depending on what you're hooked (and height). This ensures that you use all the wall space / closet.

Go all the way up
Use the full height of your wardrobe. All the way from the ground to the ceiling. oblong storage spaces look really lovely. How to maintain this practice is to have a small stool in hand. For example, I keep a small vintage tower nestled in the back of my articles suspended so I can whip out at a moment's notice.

Install a mirror or a small recess (or both)
This may seem a bit controversial. Usually, the thought would run if you only have a small space for an appointment, you would need to use the any , right? I do not agree. By spending just a small amount of open space, the area feels less like a closed box. And it's not like he can not, either. You're left with a pretty small shelf and a mirror to check your outfit.
