I want to change this room so that it is still a guest room but works as a dressing room so that I can have more storage space for clothes / shoes and a dressing table for makeup - any ideas of how to make best use of the space? It's about 3.3m x 3.3m with the door.

How do you think I can rearrange the space in this maisonette?
Comments (15)However, a bathroom on the second floor will demand a redefinition of the house hydraulics to make a better use of water, avoiding extra expending to the family who lives in there. Maybe, you should consider making a second bathroom on top of the other, and make two bedrooms (on 2nd floor) about the same size, and the extra space left from the long bedroom could be family living room with cushions, a hammock, and big windows (No wall separating it from the corridor, since it would just end on that living area)....See Morehow do i decorate a new place with my boyfriend that suits us both?
Comments (5)Hello Jessica, It's a very considered question..Well for a start is your boyfriend happy for you to unleash your creative spirit? He may well be happy for you to create a home for both of you.. If he wants to be part of the process then really it is a question of tastes... Do you both like similar styles? You may already know if you both have similar views or style likes.. Why not start with the furnishings you may have or the pieces you may have both discussed that you are thinking of purchasing.. You can get get an idea of how interested he actually is, when it comes to colours and furniture and also an idea of similar your choices are.. On a practical note.. When it comes to functions of rooms, do you both share similar interests.. This will also be a good way to decide on a look and needs of each room.. Also is the chap in question going to be doing the work or some of the work? So experience is a factor here to consider as well for anything you might want and to do.. Have you been to a few showrooms or discussed appliances, large pieces of furniture which may dictate the choices of the smaller pieces.. I'd tend to think the larger pieces are a good start... Sofa, Bed, Wardrobe, Mirrors...and Function! The other thing is the place in question of course... Will this dictate a particular "look" this might help with the overall aesthetic of the interior. What I would say is choose things that will have lasting appeal.. If you need to think of the house, flat, apartment as an art palette and layer it up as you go along so you get a feel of it, then that is also a good idea.. : ))...See MoreHow do I strip a painted beam & stone fire place ?

Comments (7)I would choose option 2 but make sure it looks nice from the side! I had a look at low radiators last year, this wasn’t the one I was looking at (can’t remember where I found it atm!) but not sure if this sort of style would help as another option? https://www.featureheating.co.uk/product/spiro-designer-radiator/ How much coat and shoe storage do you need?id be tempted to keep it quite open with something like this but appreciate it doesn’t work with dozens of coats!
