The problem

The room was being converted from second bedroom to walk-in dressing room. The client had a clear list of storage zones needed (hanging, folded, shoes, accessories, vanity, display) but the room was an awkward L-shape with a window mid-way along one of the longer walls, which meant a single continuous wardrobe wasn't possible.

The solution

Three walls treated as related but distinct compositions. Wall A (window wall) has wardrobes either side of the window stopping at sill height to keep light. Wall B (full length) is the hanging-and-drawer wall, with floor-to-ceiling cupboards. Wall C (entrance wall) is the vanity station and shoe display — drawers, integrated mirror, open shelves above for everyday access. All three walls share door style, paint colour and handle hardware so the room reads as one continuous design.

Materials & finish

18mm Egger MFC carcass throughout; MDF shaker doors painted Farrow & Ball Cornforth White (No. 228); 6mm bevelled mirror on vanity; brass cup pulls; integrated 12V LED strips above hanging rails on motion sensors; Blum BLUMOTION soft-close hardware throughout.

Outcome

A complete dressing-room conversion that handles every category of storage the client listed at the survey. The room — previously underused as a child's bedroom — became one of the highest-use rooms in the house.

Three walls of fitted joinery converting a second bedroom into a full walk-in dressing room. Shared door style and finish keep the room reading as one composition.
