Layout of dressing room

last year

last modified: last year

We are fortunate to have a fairly large space for a dressing room, just off our master bedroom and connecting to an en-suite. However, we are having a bit of trouble coming up with a layout which doesn't involve just having a long run of wardrobes down both sides - great for storage but wouldn't make it a very nice space.

I'm hoping for some inspiration!

The dimensions of the room are 4.8m x 3.2m. The dotted line represents restricted height space, starting at 2m on the outside wall and going up to full ceiling height of 2.3m.

We want a combination of wardrobes, dressing table, chests of drawers and a seating area / armchair.

Any help much appreciated!

We think it will be too expensive to get fitted wardrobes made for a room this size, so we were trying to think of a cheaper option - such as building a stud wall and using doors from howdens like in this picture with hanging rails behind. Any better ideas?

If budget is tight then just putting internal doors on is a great idea….. you can buy wardrobe doors in the same way and this might be better as they will be narrower.

Assuming the bedroom space is the same size I might swap the two spaces so that dressing room is on the way out and an early riser doesn’t disturb someone still sleeping. If the bedroom is significantly bigger then I would put a chair in there- in the dressing room it will become a clothes horse and never be sat on. And so here is what I would do including an extra side window

If you want custom cream panelling built from scratch, it is likely to take you more than three weeks to line up a contractor, get it built and then painted. If you want to use beadboard (thin, lightweight, cheap) you can do it yourself if you are good at the small precision cuts around the wood window trim and behind the radiators. You can get a custom built wood cover with doors for your tv or use the painting over tv disguise made with hinges. I think the room is beautiful as it is. Spend some money on a truly beautiful, impressive chandelier, have it centered over the table. If you want to impress relatives at an event, the chandelier is the way to go. Clean the windows for extra sparkle. If you are in the US, try Home Decorators http://www.homedecorators.com for DVD storage cabinets that are closed. I would not get a rug for this room unless I was ready to get it cleaned frequently and I could find one that looked good with dog hair on it and did not show stains. A good quality, highly patterned wool Oriental rug will do that job nicely. Such a rug is an investment and may take longer than three weeks to find.

You have everything clustered at that window. If you would just relocate some to that open wall the space will work better for you. Add a center upholstered bench or comfy chair in a corner.

There's a couple of dressing room projects - with plans - on my pro page that might give you some ideas ! http://houzz.com/pro/oneplan In smaller rooms it's sometimes easier to have open wardrobes - ie no doors - it doesn't look as neat - but you don't have to leave room for door swing - so effectively - you can get more in usually !!!

Sorry, yes, I didn't explain very well, did I... I meant that as your room seems to be quite light, floor included, a dark grey that matches the bird on your wallpaper would give you that wow factor (pic1 below). You could then work on the layering textures within the same colour palette too with the rest of your accessories (rugs, mirrors etc). Or if you're not too keen on greys, pick out one of the other colours if you prefer- you have a good selection of pink, blue, green or yellow. As long as you match the exact shade you can't go wrong, in my humble opinion. I've attached a few pics below to show you what I mean xx
