Plan the room and storage together
An enclosed dressing room needs its entrance, lighting and ventilation coordinated with the wardrobe runs. Assess circulation after accounting for cabinet depth and opening movement. Divide storage around long garments, short hanging, bags and shoes, while retaining access to switches and service points.
Compare the design options
Use these options to discuss the configuration that fits the room and its intended use. Review dimensions and details against the actual material and hardware selected in the drawing.
