Walk In Dressing Room With Glass Wardrobes
About Master Dressing Interiors
Common questions from homeowners.
They are floor to ceiling wardrobes with tinted glass fronts set in slim black frames, running down both sides of the room. The glass turns the clothes, bags and shoes inside into part of the display rather than hiding them behind solid doors. Each bay is wood lined so the contents sit against a warm backing. It is a showroom style storage, which suits a dressing room, though glass fronts mean the inside is always on view and has to be kept neat.
Every bay has LED strips running along the shelves, so light falls on each item from top to bottom and nothing sits in shadow at the back. In a dressing room that matters, because you want to see true colours when picking an outfit, and a single ceiling light would leave the lower shelves dark. The strips also make the glass fronts glow softly, which is what gives the room its display case look in the evening.
A fluted wood dressing counter sits at the far end under a tall mirror, with a round upholstered stool tucked under it. This is the getting ready spot, kept between the two wardrobe runs so everything is within reach. The fluting on the counter matches the wood inside the wardrobes, so the piece belongs to the set. The mirror runs full height to check a whole outfit, and the stool slides fully under to keep the aisle clear.
A cluster of pendant lights with copper tinted glass globes hangs over the centre of the walkway. They bring warmth and a bit of shine to a room that is otherwise wood and glass, and hanging them in a group makes a feature of the narrow aisle. The warm glass tone keeps the light flattering rather than clinical. Set at the centre, they light the dressing counter and mirror without casting your own shadow onto the glass.
The floor is a light marble, chosen to keep a narrow, enclosed room feeling bright. Pale stone bounces the shelf and pendant light around, which stops a corridor style space from feeling like a tunnel. Marble also wears well under daily foot traffic and the odd dropped heel. It is a harder surface underfoot than wood, so a soft rug or the stool gives somewhere comfortable to stand while dressing, but the brightness it adds is worth it here.
A walk in with full height runs on both sides holds a lot, because it uses every wall from floor to ceiling. Between hanging sections for long and short garments, open shelves for folded stacks and bags, and drawers below, it comfortably takes two peoples wardrobes. The glass fronts and LED shelves make it easy to see and reach everything. The main requirement is the floor area, since you need a clear aisle to stand and turn in the middle.
It can, on a reduced scale. Even a small room takes glass fronted wardrobes along one wall with a slim dressing ledge opposite, which keeps the display case feel without needing two full runs. LED shelf strips and a mirror do the rest. The one thing you cannot shrink below a point is the aisle, because you still need room to open a door and step back to see yourself, so the walkway width sets the smallest workable size.
The joinery and the glass are the bulk of it. Full height wardrobes with tinted glass doors in metal frames cost more than solid shutter units, and LED lighting through every bay adds wiring throughout. The fluted counter, the mirror and the marble floor add to it. Because it is almost all fitted carpentry, the running metre of wardrobe and the glass and lighting spec swing the figure, so those are the parts to price carefully first.
