25 dressing room ideas to elevate your closet

If there were anything at the top of any homeowner’s list for a home renovation, it would be to have their dressing room. Maybe you can relate. Wouldn’t switching out the overstuffed tiny closet for an organised, impeccably-styled dressing room be nice?

Whether you have plenty of space to bring your walk-in-robe dreams to life or only have a small corner of the room to work with, you can have a functional dressing room. Check out these 25 dressing room ideas for inspiration that anyone would swoon over!

1. Light pendant pattern

First, install a gorgeous light pendant in your equally gorgeous dressing room. A light pendant reflects across the ceiling, making it a beautiful room feature. The light pendant stands out by keeping the dressing room simple and minimal.

2. Blushing pink

A blush-pink dressing room is the epitome of elegance and femininity. This soft and delicate hue creates a serene atmosphere, making it the perfect backdrop for daily dressing rituals. Blush pink complements various design styles, from modern to vintage, and adds a touch of sophistication to your space.

3. Dark colour scheme 

This dressing room idea is practically the opposite of the last one with its dark colour scheme and masculine touches. The room can focus on clean lines and squared-off design to give a modern look that is super classy. Plus, a black and brown colour scheme, glass surfaces, and intricate feature lights help to complete the look.

4. His and hers

Another great idea for couples is having two sides to your dressing room. One side could be for him and the other side for her. Consider adding a central island or seating area to convene and share moments while getting ready.

5. Mirrored walls

Mirrored walls are the ultimate design choice for those looking to amplify the elegance and functionality of their dressing room. Covering one or more walls with mirrors creates a sense of spaciousness and allows for a panoramic view of your outfit from all angles.

6. Brown tones

Embracing brown tones in your dressing room or walk-in wardrobe brings warmth and timeless sophistication. From rich chocolate browns to earthy tans and warm mahogany hues, this palette creates a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Incorporate these shades through wooden cabinetry, shelving, and flooring. Consider leather accents on seating or handles for a touch of luxury.

7. Store design

If you are a shopaholic and want to feel like you are shopping every day, then why not make the design of your dressing room look like a shop? Imagine open shelves neatly stacked with shoes, clothing racks showcasing your favourite outfits, mannequins, and well-lit display areas to highlight your accessories. Decor elements like ottomans and plants help to make this space feel comfortable and inviting.

8. Floor-length mirror

Whole-body mirrors are a transformative addition to any dressing room or walk-in wardrobe. These provide the perfect opportunity to assess your outfit from head to toe, ensuring that every detail is correct. Whether a full-length mirror on the closet door or a strategically placed floor-to-ceiling mirror, these additions enhance your space’s functionality and aesthetics.

9. Fashionable dressing room

Make your dressing room the epitome of style and organisation if you’re into fashion. It’s a space where fashion enthusiasts can revel in getting dressed. Think sleek, modern design with clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic. A well-thought-out layout includes designated areas for shoes, accessories, and hanging garments, all neatly arranged for easy access.

10. LED strip lights

Something that is so often overlooked but shouldn’t be is lighting. Aside from illuminating a desired area, lighting is essential to creating mood, feeling, and atmosphere in any space. The good news is that creating this look is achievable with the help of LED strip lights.

11. Room with a view

This idea is about bringing the outside world in while preparing for your day. The key feature to achieve a dressing room with a view is installing large, strategically placed windows or glass doors that offer breathtaking views of your surroundings. Whether you overlook a picturesque garden, a bustling cityscape, or a serene natural landscape, this setup adds a touch of serenity and inspiration to your daily routine.

12. Rack display

If you want to create an instant dressing room without having to take on a major renovation, adding a simple rack will take any room from a plain room with no purpose to a fantastic one! You could display seasonal items or even newly purchased items on your rack.

13. Gold detailing

Gold detailing in your dressing room infuses the space with glamour. This luxurious design choice can be applied in various ways, such as gold-trimmed mirrors, handles on cabinetry, or even gold-accented furniture pieces like vanity chairs or ottomans.

14. Grand display

If you have prized items like bags or jewellery you want to put on display, make the most of it by giving them their allocated display case. This dressing room idea is about showcasing your most cherished fashion pieces in a way that’s both organised and aesthetically pleasing. Consider glass-fronted cabinets or custom-built shelving units with built-in lighting to highlight your collection.

15. Polished wood

Polished wood can bring opulence and elegance to a dressing room. It gives an antique yet quality look to the space. To enhance the overall ambience, consider combining polished wood with other design elements like soft lighting and neutral colour shelves.

16. Glamorous dressing room 

Transform your dressing room into a space where every aspect exudes luxury and style. Imagine mirrored surfaces, elegant lighting, and plush seating. Gilded accents, such as gold-framed mirrors or metallic wallpaper, also add opulence to the room.

17. Angled roof

Embrace the charming nooks and crannies an angled roofline creates by incorporating them into your storage solutions. Designing a dressing room with an angled roof can be a unique and charming. The architectural feature of an angled roof brings character and cosiness to your space.

18. All-white

An all-white dressing room is a timeless choice. It embraces the purity and simplicity of white, creating a bright and visually appealing space. White walls, cabinetry, and shelving open up the room and make it feel more spacious. The monochromatic colour scheme provides a clean backdrop for your clothing and accessories, allowing them to take centre stage.

19. All-black

In contrast to the previous idea, an all-black dressing room offers a high-impact design. The bold and chic use of black creates a space that oozes sophistication and mystery. Black walls, cabinetry, and shelving set a moody and luxurious tone, making your clothing and accessories stand out in stark contrast.

20. Mirror glass island

A mirror glass island is a stunning centrepiece for a dressing room. A central island covered in mirror glass creates a glamorous and functional focal point. The mirrored surface adds a touch of elegance and serves practical purposes.

21. Tropical feeling 

Creating a tropical feeling for your dressing room is all about infusing the space with the vibrancy and relaxation of a tropical paradise. Start by incorporating lush greenery and potted plants to mimic the natural beauty of the tropics. Consider using tropical-inspired patterns with palm leaf motifs or floral patterns to enhance the ambience further.

22. Dressing unit

Perhaps there’s an unused little corner in your home, and you’re unsure what to do with it. Well, how about putting a dressing unit? You could have your very own dressing area in your hallway. This area would be great for jackets, hats, bags, and even hanging clothes you’ve worn for a short time but want to wear again.

23. See-through screens

Incorporating see-through screens into your dressing room design is a creative way to add functionality and style. These translucent partitions or dividers offer a sense of separation without closing off the space entirely.

24. Vanity and dressing room 

A vanity and dressing room combines practicality and indulgence, providing a sanctuary to pamper yourself while curating your perfect look. It combines the luxury of a dedicated grooming and makeup area with the functionality of a well-organised dressing space. It’s a space that celebrates your individuality and style, making getting ready pleasurable.

25. Stone finish

Incorporating a stone finish into your dressing room brings natural elegance and durability. Use real or faux stone materials, such as marble, granite, slate, or quartz, on surfaces like countertops, flooring, or accent walls. This finish adds a sense of timelessness and luxury to your dressing area.
