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
- Position the bed around existing closet access and use freestanding storage at the room edge.
- Detail
- Choose a bed with drawers and use removable blackout curtains only where permitted.
- Trade-off
- Under-bed storage adds capacity but makes frequent floor cleaning harder.
- Check closet and window operation
- Measure move-in route for larger pieces
