Walk through dressing area
I've posted about this area before, and hoping to get some more advice on how to use it! I really wanted a separate dressing room but we couldn't make it work without compromising elsewhere, so went with this walk through dressing area. I had thought I'd have built in cupboards (highlighted yellow) , but the area has a (very high!) vaulted ceiling and I feel like they might look a bit odd. My husband was keen to build in cupboards right to the ceiling, but they would be SO tall, and might make the walk through area feel rather enclosed. I'm wondering about putting a curtain rail and curtain on each side so that I can just put really functional rails / racking behind to make the most of the space. But would this look like a shop changing room?! Should I put a curtain on one side and a cool piece of furniture the other side? Or standard depth built in cupboards?
The left had side is 146cm wide x 62 deep
The right hand side is 124cm wide x 120 deep.
Would love some ideas.
We do have some storage in the bedroom too, but this is our only hanging space.

PRO7 years agoI think it's a relatively small space and built in cupboards will look a lot more finished than hanging rails. If height is going to be a problem just for use purposes, there are all sorts of storage solutions that can be used by pulling down rails towards you etc to help you reach.
I'd have L'shaped storage on the right side where it's 120 deep

We do corner wardrobes too can be with or without doors.I would suggest doors with mirror to the left and you could leave the right section open?

Comments (6)Thank you Carrie, that is really helpful. We originally purchased the larger sofas as I am 6ft 1" and my eldest teenage son, 17, is already taller than me. I also have problems with discs in my neck hence the higher backs of the sofas. I had thought about placing the tv over the fireplace but worried it would affect my neck. To be honest I have thought about putting the tv on a unit against that wall as it does look cramped in its current corner. Since posting this original message I changed the layout of the sofas so the armchair is in the window and the sofa originally in the window is now pulled forward to the middle of the room facing the fireplace. So this gives us a walk through behind the sofa. It seems to make the room more cosy but doesn't make it look smaller. I like your idea of smaller sofas, lighter in colour - our current ones do look bulky in here. Thank you. I am still keen to change the fireplace though- to a similar size but more modern. Thank you for your help Sarah...See Moreen-suite bathroom and dressing area
Comments (7)I agree bring the wall forward into the bedroom. You don’t even have to take the existing wall down. Retain it as a divider between his and hers, though I would remove the door. A pocket door in the new wall into the dressing room would be better rather than having to shut the door behind you every time you need to get access your clothes. You might also squeeze a shallow full height cupboard in the shower room along the wall beside the toilet to store all your toiletries etc....See MoreWalk through living room options

Comments (29)Minnie - the runway/walkway is mainly from the internal door next to the sofa through to the patio sliding doors straight ahead. It starts at the front door, up the hallway and then all the way to the back…in a line. I would be very interested in your variation to my pink option as I need all the help I can get! Also, with pulling the sofa forwards - I am planning on putting a small sideboard next to it on the left so what would I do with that? Have it 3 inches from the wall too or would that look weird? It’s going from the left arm of the sofa in to the corner. Thanks...See More
