Your Dressing Room, Your Rules

Falling in love with a room that you have just seen from the pages of a magazine is a normal feeling. Some could even be envious. Most would dream of having a lovely kitchen, living room or dining room but only a handful would wish for a dressing room instead.

If you are dreaming of having the same space in your home, then there some guidelines that can help you do just that. Be ready to invest in recreating the best dressing rooms that you will find online. Tweak them a little and you make the design your own.

An Unused Corner

This is all that you will need to have a decent dressing area. A corner on your bedroom should be allocated for your dream dressing area. Be sure to show the line of demarcation between the dressing zone and the sleeping area.

Place a free-standing rack for your clothes. This rack doubles as a storage rack plus a guard for your privacy.

Have a full-length mirror set up at this corner, too. This will allow you to check your appearance before you leave for work. An ornate frame should add character and appeal to this mirror.

An ottoman or chair is yet another item that you should add to your dressing area. This is a practical place where the owner could sit while putting on a pair of shoes. This could also serve as a surface where you could lay your clothes when you are getting dressed.

Complete that corner by laying down an area rug. This provides a comfortable underfoot piece. It will also protect your floor from scratches and scuffs brought about by hard soles and high heels. Apart from defining the zone, an area rug will also make your design scheme more awesome.

Using a Folding Screen

Also known as a modesty screen, the folding screen is practical and compact. This is a wonderful solution to your designated dressing room.

Folding partition will close off the nook that you segregated for the dressing nook.  This is a great area where someone can change his clothes without worrying about others taking a peek. This is also a piece that will surely not compete with the bedroom scheme.

Partition in the Bathroom

The folding screen will also be a great addition to the bathroom, especially to one that has heavy traffic. All you have to do is to duck while showering while allowing other family members to use the other part of the bathroom.

Just make sure that you choose a folding screen that is water-resistant like faux leather. Mirrors and wood furnishing could also be waterproofed so they are better able to withstand the damp surroundings.

Accessorize

You have to get some dressing room essentials for your walk-in closet of sorts. Install a full-length mirror so it becomes a walk-in closet instead of a simple dressing area. See if you can also put a comfortable chair or bench plus a dressing table. Be sure to relax and sit down while you dress up and put on your shoes.

Bed Placement Rule

One easy way to squeeze your dressing area to an open-plan bedroom is to properly reposition your bed. Instead of the usual placement against the wall, you should consider moving your bed forward just a few feet. Install a tall headboard, a bookcase, or a room divider right behind it. This is an effective way to zone off the area right behind the partition. This will easily become a private nook where anyone can get dressed in peace.
