Plan in this order
- Place the mirror where natural or well-controlled light reaches the face.
- Keep a surface for daily accessories beside their storage point.
- Protect a clear standing area in front of wardrobe doors and drawers.
Worked example
Getting dressed means opening wardrobe doors into the bed-side passage.
Place a mirror and clothing landing area near the wardrobe, and test the standing space with doors and drawers fully open.
How to test it
Act out a normal dressing routine with doors, drawers and lighting in use.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Place the bed on the longest uninterrupted wall and preserve a clear approach to wardrobe doors.
- Detail
- Choose sliding wardrobe fronts where swing clearance is limited; add separate bedside lights.
- Trade-off
- Full-height wardrobes increase capacity but can make the room feel enclosed.
- Measure bed, wardrobe and passage together
- Confirm window can open without furniture conflict
