Service overview

## What dressing rooms involves and who it is for

### What dressing rooms is
A dressing room is a room given over entirely to storage and getting ready: open or doored hanging, drawer banks, shoe racking, lit rails, mirrors, and sometimes an island or seating. We design the layout around a written inventory of what is being stored, then make and fit the whole room from our Stratford-upon-Avon workshop.

### Who it is for
It suits households where one bedroom is spare or underused, where a large landing or loft can be enclosed, or where the main bedroom is big enough to give up a wall and gain a walk-in. It also suits couples who want separate zones rather than a shared rail.

### When it is needed
Most often during a renovation, a loft conversion, or when children leave home and a bedroom becomes available. If the room is being replastered or rewired, designing the dressing room first means lighting and power land exactly where the joinery needs them.

### Why professional joinery matters
Dressing rooms fail when they are drawn to look good rather than to hold a specific wardrobe. Counting long hanging, short hanging, folded items, shoes and accessories before design is the difference between a room that stays tidy and one that is full within a month.

The cost of getting it wrong

## What happens when this is left too long
A dressing room is one of the few pieces of joinery that is used every single day, twice a day. Getting it wrong is felt constantly.

### Risks and escalating costs

- Too much short hanging and not enough long hanging leaves dresses and coats dragging on the base.
- Shoes stored on the floor spread outwards until the walkway disappears.
- Unlit interiors make colour-matching impossible in the morning.
- An island placed without checking clearance blocks the drawers behind it.
- A room designed to a photograph rather than an inventory is full before it is finished.

### Common mistakes we are called in to fix

- Copying a layout from an image without checking the ceiling height it was built to.
- Leaving lighting to a single central pendant, which shadows every rail.
- Specifying deep drawers for folded clothing, where shallow drawers hold more usable space.
- Forgetting ventilation in a converted loft or internal room.
- Ignoring the door swing, which can cost a whole run of storage.

Our process

## Five stages from first visit to finished joinery

- Step 1

### Inventory and free survey
We measure the room and go through what needs storing: hanging lengths, shoe counts, folded items, accessories.

- Step 2

### Layout design and itemised quotation
Zones are drawn and agreed, clearances checked, and everything priced individually and free of charge.

- Step 3

### Manufacture in our workshop
Carcasses, drawer boxes, rails and shelving are made to the surveyed dimensions in Stratford-upon-Avon.

- Step 4

### Fit and wire
Our fitters install and scribe the room, and our in-house electrician wires rail lighting, shelf lighting and switching.

- Step 5

### Adjust, clean and hand over
Every drawer and door is adjusted, the room is cleaned, and we walk you through it before leaving.

What you get

## The difference made-to-measure joinery actually delivers

### Zoned to your wardrobe
Long hanging, short hanging, folded, shoes and accessories each get the right space rather than a share of the same space.

### Lighting that works at 7am
Lit rails and shelves wired in-house, so colours read correctly and nothing is lost in shadow.

### Everything visible
Open shelving, glass-fronted drawers and pull-out racking mean you can see what you own.

### A calmer bedroom
Moving storage out of the bedroom changes how the whole room feels, not just where the clothes live.

### One team from survey to switch-on
Joinery and electrics handled by the same five people. No coordination left to you.

### Built to last a lifetime
Drawer boxes, runners and rails specified for daily use over decades.

- Storage zoned by garment type, not guesswork
- Lit rails and shelving wired in-house
- Glass-fronted drawers, island units and seating where space allows
- Finishes that carry through from the bedroom

In detail

## Materials, methods and variations
Spare bedrooms, large landings and knocked-through eaves all make excellent dressing rooms. We survey the space, model the layout and give you a fixed, itemised quote before work begins.

Design consultations and quotations are free. There is no fixed price list, every project is priced individually because every project is made to measure. A deposit of 30–50% is taken depending on the size of the work.

### Materials and components
Carcasses are built in stable, high-grade board with solid timber edges where hands and hangers make contact. Drawer boxes are made to hold weight and run smoothly when fully loaded; glass-fronted drawers are used where seeing the contents saves time. Rails are specified by span so they do not deflect under a full load of winter coats.

Finishes range from hand-painted to veneered oak, ash and walnut. Interiors can be finished in a contrasting timber or in a wipe-clean surface where practicality matters more than grain. Mirrors, valet rails, tie and belt racks, jewellery inserts and pull-down rails for high storage are all specified at design stage.

### Layout method
We start with numbers: metres of long hanging, metres of short hanging, pairs of shoes, folded items by drawer. Those numbers are then fitted into the room's real dimensions, allowing minimum clear walkways so two people can use the room at once where space permits.

Sloping ceilings are treated as an asset. Under a shallow pitch we use drawers, shoe racking and short hanging, keeping full-height runs on the tall wall. Islands are only proposed where the clearance around them survives the drawer test: every drawer must open fully with someone standing at it.

### Variations of the service
Open walk-in dressing rooms with no doors, for rooms that are already private. Doored dressing rooms where dust or light is a concern. His-and-hers layouts with mirrored zones. Dressing areas formed within a large bedroom using a partial partition. Loft dressing rooms that exploit eaves storage. Dressing rooms that extend into an adjoining en-suite with matched finishes.

### Situations this applies to
Spare bedrooms across Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick that have become storage rooms by default. Large landings in Leamington Spa townhouses. Loft conversions in Solihull and Bromsgrove where the eaves are the only unused volume left. Period cottages in Evesham and Banbury where the main bedroom is generous but the storage is Victorian in scale.

### Residential and commercial
Dressing room work is largely residential, but we build the same joinery for high-end holiday lets and serviced accommodation with harder-wearing finishes. Accreditation and cover for commercial sites: SMAS, CHAS, Safecontractor, DBS-checked team, £10 million public liability, £5 million employer's liability.

Common questions

## Answers before you enquire

How much does a bespoke dressing room cost?Every dressing room is priced individually after a survey, the layout, the internals and the finish all drive the cost. The design consultation and quotation are free.

How big does a room need to be for a walk-in dressing room?We assess it at survey. The deciding factor is usable clear walkway once the storage depth is taken out, which is why we measure before suggesting a layout.

Can you build a dressing room in a loft with sloping ceilings?Yes. Eaves are where much of the storage comes from: drawers, shoe racking and short hanging are designed to the true roof angles.

Is lighting included?Lit rails, shelf lighting and sensor switching can all be built in and wired by our in-house electrician as part of the same project.

How long does the work take?Most of the build happens in our workshop. Fitting time on site depends on the size of the room, and we confirm dates with the quotation.

What deposit do you take?30–50% depending on the size of the project, with the balance on completion.

Do you make the joinery yourselves?Yes, everything is made in our own workshop in Stratford-upon-Avon and fitted by our team of five. Nothing is outsourced.

Do you work outside Stratford-upon-Avon?Yes: Warwick, Leamington Spa, Solihull, Evesham, Banbury, Worcester, Cheltenham, Bromsgrove and the surrounding villages.
