Swithland Dressing Room
A Bespoke Dressing Room Built into an Angled Extension
This dressing room was designed for a large extension to a period property in Swithland, where the shape of the room created both opportunity and difficulty. With sloping ceilings, changing wall heights and awkward junctions beneath the eaves, standard wardrobes would have left unused space and an unresolved finish.
The cabinetry was made to follow the architecture of the room, using full-height and reduced-height wardrobes to make practical use of the available walls. Traditional shaker doors, moulded cornices and a painted finish give the room a calm, fitted quality, while allowing the joinery to sit comfortably within the older character of the property.
At the centre of the room, a bespoke island provides additional drawer storage and a useful surface for everyday use. The glass top allows the internal compartments to be seen and used for smaller items, jewellery and accessories, turning storage into part of the character of the room.
The result is a dressing room that feels both practical and quietly refined. Every part of the design was shaped around the space itself, from the angled cupboards beneath the eaves to the central island and fitted detailing. It gives the client generous storage without losing the softness, proportion and warmth of the room.
