Our 5 tips for creating a made-to-measure dressing room with Evo'M
Creating a made-to-measure dressing room is an approach that resonates with the deep-seated desire for personalization andoptimization of space in our interiors, which are not just functional, but also a reflection of our personal tastes and lifestyles.
In 2024, Leroy Merlin launched its Evo'M Evo'Mrange of modular, durable furniture.
In this article, we reveal our 5 tips for creating your own tailor-made dressing room with Evo'M. Whether you choose to install it in a bedroom or in a dedicated room, our tips will guide you in its creation.
1 - Analyze your needs
Before you start designing your dressing room, it's important to assess your storage needs. This will guide your choice of the ideal dressing room model for you. First, think about who will be using the dressing room: is it intended for a single person, a couple, or perhaps a child?
Next, determine where you plan to place this new addition: do you plan to install it in thehallway, within a bedroom with an arched dressing room, for example, or in an entirely dedicated space?
Think also about the type of fittings you prefer, such as shelves or closets.
These questions are fundamental to designing a dressing room that blends in perfectly with your space.
2 - Optimizing storage space
Once you've identified your needs, it's time to start measuring and drawing up detailed plans. This is essential to visualize the space you have available, ensuring optimum use of every centimeter.
The flexibility and modularity that characterize Evo'M dressing solutions give you the freedom to personalize your space with a range of modular dimensions and options.
Evo'M housing dimensions
The pedestals are available in 3 depths, 3 widths and 5 heights:
+ Depth: 28, 38 and 54 cm.
+ Width: 40, 60 and 80 cm.
+ Height: 38.4 cm, 64 cm, 102.4 cm, 204.8 cm and 230.4 cm.
For high ceilings (over 2m50):
2m30 pedestals are ideal for taking advantage of the verticality of the space, leaving no wasted space. They are ideal for storing less frequently used or seasonal items upstairs, while keeping everyday items within easy reach. For spaces with exceptionally high ceilings, consider layering pedestals, such as 1m02 pedestals over 2m or 2m30 pedestals, to create storage solutions that maximize the use of vertical space.
For standard ceiling heights (between 2m20 and 2m50):
Opt for 2m04 pedestals. This height makes it easy to integrate your dressing room into most bedroom or dedicated room configurations, while offering generous storage space.
For low ceilings or spaces with constraints (under attics):
1m02 pedestals offer a versatile solution, perfect for spaces where height is limited. They can be used as a base for a more layered composition, or stand alone for easy access, particularly in children's bedrooms or tight spaces.
You can lay your pedestal so that the height becomes the width. In this way, space can be optimized in height and width every 20 cm.
You can also stack the pedestals for a full-height dressing room.
Evo'M also offers drawers and accessories!
Evo'M provides you with a variety of interior elements such as shelves, drawers and the possibility of adding benches to create a dressing room to suit your needs. Evo'M exterior drawers are available with visible fronts:
+ Height: 12.8 cm; 25.6 cm and 38.4 cm
+ Width: 40 cm; 60 cm; 80 cm

Examples of dressing configurations with Evo'M
Arched dressing room
The arched dressing room redefines space, combining clever storage and bold aesthetics to transform the bedroom. With Evo'M, creating this configuration becomes child's play.
Evo'M pedestals come in 3 different depths, depending on room size: 28cm, 38 and 54cm
And all these depths are available in the following heights: 38.4cm, 64cm, 1m02 and 2m04 and 2m30.
You can mix finishes for the fronts and arch, or add a bespoke shelf to create a decorative focal point in the niche.
Children's bedroom wardrobe
In a child's bedroom, imagine your toddler's dressing room with Evo'M pedestals.
Imagine a full-height walk-in wardrobe, with the first part containing clothes, accessible to your little ones. There are several possibilities, depending on your ceiling height:
+ If you have a ceiling height of 3m, start with a first block of 2.30m-high boxes, then a second block 60cm high.
+ For heights of 2.50m, you can either make 1 box height of 1.02m and 1 of 38.4cm, or 3 stacked blocks of 64cm boxes.
Dressing & Office
Exploit the variety of depths offered by Evo'M pedestals to integrate a functional office space into a bedroom or living room.
By choosing different pedestal depths, create a niche space where you can install a desk with a work surface for the office.
