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
- Keep sleeping, dressing and bathing zones in a short sequence with privacy at the bedroom door.
- Detail
- Use warm, low-level bedside light and resilient flooring through dressing areas.
- Trade-off
- A larger dressing room adds storage but lengthens the route to the bathroom.
- Check privacy from corridor and windows
- Test night route to bathroom
