In a Separate Room
If you have enough space to spare an entire room to dress up, you’re one of the lucky ones indeed.
It also means you don’t have to mess up the bedroom with mountains of clothes every time you want to go out. Deciding what to wear is a messy process!
As Part of the Master Bedroom
This dressing room design is the most common choice since master bedrooms tend to be spacious. You can choose part of it and turn it into a dressing room with built-in floor-to-ceiling storage space.
Connected to the Bathroom
Imagine getting out of the shower directly to your dressing room! Bedroom designs with attached bathroom and dressing room plans are modern solutions to your perfect home design.
As Part of a Small Bedroom
No need to worry about the size of the bedroom, as small dressing room ideas are endless. You can always find space to store your clothes and it doesn’t have to be what is expected—think outside the box!
2. Storage
The key to dressing room storage ideas is to first figure out your storage needs. Here are a few tips about the hang vs. fold dilemma to get you started:
Hang
Pleated clothes
Light-weight clothes
Dresses
Dress pants
Trousers
Blazers
Jackets
Coats
Blouses
Skirts
Scarves
Cardigans.
Fold
Sweaters
Knitwear
Jeans
Khaki pants
T-shirts
Underwear items
Socks
Heavy items
Embellished items
Heavy formalwear.
After figuring out which types of clothes are dominant in your wardrobe, you can decide which of the following dressing room storage ideas suit you best. Then you can mix and match!
Open Plan Storage
If you’re looking for dressing room ideas on a budget, this is a good fit, and it also gives an ultra-modern feel to your room.
Open storage wardrobes can be customized as you prefer and they work really well with built-in dressing room design ideas.
Hidden Storage
There are many ways to hide your storage area within the dressing room. The closet space, whether it’s fitted or not to the wall, can be hidden with doors or even curtains to give it a trendy look.
Double Height
Floor-to-ceiling, or double height, storage makes use of every tiny space you could possibly image in storage! It is an ideal option for seasonal storage like storing bulky winter clothes or duvet covers during the summer and so on.
If you decide on this storage idea for your dressing room design at home, make sure you buy a tall ladder to easily get to the hard-to-reach spaces above.
Dressing Room Island
This idea never goes out of style; trust us on this one! Sometimes after doing everything right, you still need that extra storage space. So, how about adding a dressing room island in the middle of your space?
It will have endless drawers with many sizes as you wish, and it will be perfect to store small items like perfumes, belts, accessories, make-up, and toiletries.
Cabinets
Cabinet designs for a dressing room can really transform the entire decor of the room. You can opt for a shoe cabinet on one side of the room and hang a mirror above.
Hanging Rods
Hanging your clothes is the staple of every dressing area. It all depends on the amount of clothes you have that you’re planning to hang on the rod.
Hanging rods are quite versatile to use too. It can be easily incorporated in small bedroom dressing room ideas, without closets.
A hanging rod can be fixed between the room’s walls and there you have it—your very own simple dressing room. To make it look stylish, add a curtain to hide it that matches the room decor, and also store your shoes on a rack beneath the hanging clothes.
Shelves
Another staple that complements your dressing room design, shelves store your folded clothes perfectly.
You can install them on each side of a wide hanging space, as well as above it, for a modern dressing room shelving design.
Drawers
Drawers are also a favorite go-to storage idea. Large deep ones help you with the bulky foldable clothes, and smaller ones can be divided to help with tiny items.
3. Seating
We do spend more time than we would like getting dressed, don’t we? Getting it just right is an art! You also need to take into consideration the time we just can’t decide between two outfits (or three), so we stare and stare at them endlessly. Enter a seating area!
Your dressing room seating ideas and options don’t have to take up much space. Consider the following:
Bench
A bench in the middle or on the side of the room can be quite useful in those moments when we just need to sit down and decide on things. Give it some color to pop within the dressing room, and of course get one with hidden storage!

They can also be used as a door to the dressing room if it’s attached to the master bedroom. Make sure they match your colors and bedroom designs.
Mirror Doors
Did you know that if you use mirror doors inside your dressing room it will seem a lot bigger? Using this hack with a mirror for small dressing room designs is one of the best ideas to go for.
Mirror doors can be either sliding doors and normal doors that open to the outside with handles.
