To think this could suffice as a walk in wardrobe.....

[deliakate]

I have been noticing that a lot of new build properties seem to have a novel arrangement for creating a walk in 'dressing area' eg this floor plan shown here in the show home.

I think it might work in our bedroom - its large at 20 x 18 feet. There isn't really anywhere else we could have a walk in built due to having windows on two walls, a fireplace on another and a door on another. Its a Victorian house, and apart from the kitchen, we are quite traditional with furniture etc, I love William Morris and simple oak furniture.

Thoughts?? Naffness? Useful?

I think the floorplan you link to classes as a 'dressing area' rather than a walk in wardrobe. Why not try it though? If you like the idea of a distinct area for clothes, bags, shoes and scarves etc then it might be just the ticket. Plus it will hopefully keep a tidy area where dh will refrain from throwing his used pants and shirts in a heap on the floor . Add lots of mirrors and a dressing table and chair too I reckon. Maybe a chandelier as well

My thought is that there is a topic for property, and one for DIY, and another one for houses....
