Secrets to a built-in bathroom, dressing room and bedroom

A bathroom dressing room could become your new favourite place in the house. However, you do need to take certain considerations and factors into account when correctly integrating this space with your bedroom:

Position the bathroom: defining the layout of the bathroom and how its doors will open is one of the first steps to take when designing a bathroom dressing room in a bedroom. Access needs to be directly from the bedroom, and to achieve this, you may have to change the bathroom’s location or the access door. If you would prefer a space without doors, there needs to be separation between both spaces through the design of the layout and by placing the toilet in a more private area.

Locate the dressing room: once the bathroom space has been defined, you need to consider where the dressing room or wardrobe area will be to create a suite style bedroom. Depending on the space available in the bedroom, it may be that the wardrobe space is integrated into the bedroom, next to the wall or inside of the space designated for the bathroom. If you opt for the latter, you can create a bathroom with a built-in dressing room, provided that the wardrobe area and the bathroom area are correctly fitted, but also separated. The dressing room needs to be the space which joins the bathroom with the rest of the bedroom.

Same decor style: when a bedroom has a built-in bathroom and dressing room, it is important that both spaces have the same decor style. To achieve this, the spaces need to appear to be integrated, forming part of the same space. By choosing the same style of cladding, materials, decor and designs you can connect both spaces to create one unique suite. 

Bedroom prominence: the sleeping area is also a hugely important and relevant area when creating a bathroom dressing room. That is why every single detail needs to be taken care of to make sure that the bedroom gets the attention it deserves. Calculate the available space and think about the best options of how to suitably integrate a bathroom dressing room into the available space.

Ventilation: when thinking about adding a bathroom dressing room into a bedroom, you must pay close attention to the overall ventilation of the space. If not, any humidity or unpleasant odours from the bathroom can easily flow through into the rest of the bedroom. Make sure to plan your air circulation well, with big windows, ventilation fans, and even extractor fans.

Tidiness and organisation: both in small and large spaces, there needs to be visual and distributive organisation so that each space can be used for its intended purpose. Using your logic is usually the best thing to do when deciding on where to locate important features such as the wardrobe, dressing room, or chill out area.

Lighting: as this is a multi-purpose space, planning the lighting for each area is key. The lighting needs to be studied, tested, and then strategically fitted, avoiding having one big central light. It is essential that the transit areas, wardrobes, and bathroom are suitably lit both by natural and artificial light. Remember, it is important that each area can be independently illuminated from the others.

Can you have an open plan bathroom and dressing room?

There is no doubt that bathrooms with dressing rooms are increasingly popular, but can they be open plan? A bathroom is a space designed around running water, meaning that humidity is a key issue when designing an open plan dressing room and bathroom. In fact, if the right elements are not correctly applied and installed, the humidity may damage the clothing stored in the dressing room.

If you want a more practical solution, integrating a bathroom and dressing room could be a fantastic decision for a useful and versatile space. It could also be a great idea to save space and implement an innovative fresh design. An open plan dressing room is undoubtedly a convenient and attractive option and having a great layout design can help you make the most of the space available to you but remember that it is essential to get professional advice when measuring, designing, and installing all the elements needed for this innovative space.

Bedrooms with an ensuite dressing room and bedroom

Can you imagine having a suite in your own home? Plenty of people dream about the luxury of having an ensuite bathroom to use every day, as if they were on holiday, but how can we make this dream a reality?

You are now able to get that high class hotel style and look at home, creating a greater sense of luxury and wellbeing in this relaxing space. If you are considering turning your bedroom into a suite, you may have to remove a dividing wall to create an open plan space that flows into one. You may also have to change the location of the house’s bathroom or the access door.

If you already have a bathroom in your bedroom, why not add a wardrobe area or dressing room to help create a sense of order and serenity?

What does a bedroom with a dressing room and bathroom need?

Being able to integrate a bathroom dressing room into a bedroom will depend on several factors, not just the size of the space. However, the size of the room does need to be taken into account before undertaking any type of work. That’s why, when integrating a bathroom dressing room into a bedroom, you first need to be advised by industry professionals.

Remember, a small bathroom is not necessarily an issue if we know how to suitably manage the space available to us. Even if it is on the smaller size, a bathroom dressing room can also fit into a medium size or small bedroom, provided that a professional design has been drawn up beforehand. Just as a rough idea, you need to have a bedroom of at least 15-20 square metres.
