You could have a bit more width if you incorporate the alcove depth as a wardrobe and have a shallow cupboard between the top wardrobe 1795 wall and alcove cupboard?

That’s an option but unfortunately the alcove doesn’t go up to the ceiling (see pic)🫤. Thank you for your time and effort, much appreciated.

Have a look at our pro page as we have some designs on there that suit sloped roof rooms - the secret is planning well to eek out as much storage space as you can. Sometimes, you can even access space behind the low walls into eves with drawer storage between the uprights ? (As long as this is done safely and no chopping out essential bits !!! ) so always good to have a professional install ! If you are in south of UK you could maybe look at Lamco ( they are on Houzz if you do a pro search ) As they make beautiful dressing rooms !

I personally see it different and don't mind how it looks. It will limit the sound coming from the bathroom and offers privacy. You will need to make it look more at home though.. maybe add a few hooks on the side for coats or dressing gowns, bags etc. This also massively depends on how the back looks as this sometimes doesn't look great. You can add a sheet of on the back and paint it and then add a picture or mirror to create a more interesting back area. By placing wall lights and art above/to the sides of the bed you will also zone the bed area a little better and make this whole area feel much more homely. I hope it helps. Don't be discouraged you'll get there :)

@E D :D The layout of the kitchen is strange as the window is in a corner which means there is almost no natural light in the rest of the space. We are also only two people and don't need two bedrooms, so we figured this made more sense for us.

Hi, I'd make your ensuite bigger. A 75cm squared shower is not fun. I'd go for at least 100 x 100cm. The bedroom is very generous compared to the ensuite and WIR. Considering your bed is unlikely to be longer than 200cm, then you won't need 150cm to walk around it. I'd give 50cm or more to the ensuite. And I think you won't be able to fit a cavity slider in that wall between the ensuite and WIR. I'd think about a shower up in the space you have the vanity. Then the WC next to it, with the back of the loo on the right wall. And the vanity/basin on the wall where you show the shower. So you see the vanity first when walking in. Other option is swap the shower and WC around. You can put a hinged door here, opening against the WC or shower as you can (if you want) close the door when they are being used. Another 50cm depth to the WIR will make a difference to your storage too.

Hi, my dressing room has the same layout as your 2nd pic, except I've got an L shaped corner robe in the corner which is very practical. It works well for me. A couple of pics.

Sliding doors are one way to go, but they take up a lot of depth for the tracks. We had a similarly tight layout with a radiator in the way and went for a bespoke setup from The Heritage Wardrobe Company to get around the awkward angles.

They can build around windows and alcoves without wasting any of those corner inches. Getting a proper floor-to-ceiling design usually doubles what you can fit compared to standard rails.
