Parents Dressing Room with Sage Gloss Wardrobes
About Parents Dressing Room Interiors
Common questions from homeowners.
The wardrobes run floor to ceiling along the wall in a soft sage-grey gloss, opening on hinges with slim black bar handles. Taking them to the ceiling uses the full wall for storage and skips the dust gap you get over shorter units. The gloss keeps each door a clean flat sheet and bounces the ceiling light around, which helps a room that leans on built-in light. Fingerprints do show on gloss, so a wipe now and then keeps them sharp.
Yes, a full-height mirror closes off one end of the room. It lets you check a complete outfit head to toe, and because it faces down the length of the space, it makes the dressing room look almost twice as long. Set flush with the wardrobe line, it looks like part of the run rather than a mirror hung on top. Placing it at the end also keeps the middle of the room clear to move and open doors.
The floor is pale marble with a black and gold inlay set into it, a small decorative flourish rather than a full border. In a room where everything else is plain sage and mirror, that one inlay gives the eye something to land on. Stone inlay like this is cut and fitted by hand, so it is a slow, skilled job. Kept to a single motif, it stays a detail instead of taking over the floor.
It does. An ensuite bathroom opens straight off the dressing room, lined in beige marble to match the calm feel next door. Inside there is a glass shower with a ceiling rain head and a hand shower, plus a vanity with a counter-top basin on a dark stone top. Recessed niches in the marble hold bottles in the shower. Having the bath open off the dressing area means you move from wardrobe to shower without crossing the bedroom.
Light comes from recessed spots and a large backlit panel in the ceiling, so there are no dark corners while you dress. The gloss wardrobes and the mirror pass that light around further. A wall-mounted split AC, tucked up high, keeps the room cool without getting in the way.
Most of it is the wardrobe run and the finish. Floor-to-ceiling units in a gloss lacquer need clean carcass work and a careful spray, and a long wall of them adds up. The full-height mirror, the backlit ceiling and the marble inlay each add to the figure. If the budget is tight, keep the floor-to-ceiling height for storage but move some doors to a matt laminate, which costs less than gloss and hides marks better.
The run mixes closed doors, a bank of drawers and a few open shelves, so different things get the right home. Long doors hang coats and dresses at full length, the drawers take folded knits and smaller items, and the open shelves suit bags or boxes you want on view. Planning the split before building matters more than the finish. Decide how much hanging against how much folding you need, then set the internals to that.
It can, in a lighter form. Keep the floor-to-ceiling wardrobes on one wall, since that is where the storage lives, but drop to a single line instead of wrapping the room. A slimmer mirror still works. Skip the marble inlay and run one plain floor to keep a tight space from looking cut up.
