Using a non-adjacent bedroom as a dressing room

[Alloutofusernames1]

I am lucky enough to have a second spare bedroom that would make a great dressing room but it is not adjacent to my room so could not be knocked through.
I don't have loads of house guests so wandering through the corridor in my underwear isn't an issue and worst case on those occasions, I could have an outfit ready for the morning in my room. Anybody done this and are there any downsides? I would still have a large chest of drawers and maybe a dressing table in my bedroom. Just no wardrobes.

Do you store clothes in your chest of drawers? I would store all your clothes in one room, otherwise you'll be back and forth all the time when putting away clean clothes and getting dressed.

Personally I would rather have my clothes in the bedroom and the dressing table somewhere else, I think, but it perhaps depends what order you do everything in.

You don't need to be wandering through the corridor in [your] underwear though - that's why dressing gowns were invented.

Go for it. Have a dressing gown or pjs to get you from the bedroom to the walk in wardrobe and get dressed in the dressing room. Have basket in there for dirties too. Enjoy!

" I would still have a large chest of drawers and maybe a dressing table in my bedroom"

what would be in the Chest of Drawers??

00100001 I suppose my undies and a few other things but good point! I would need to delineate what is in my room versus the dressing room well otherwise I will get confused about what is where!
Don't want to have a totally empty bedroom as that would be weird too!
OK next question: open/ doorless wardrobe or with doors in the dressing room? I like the idea of doorless but am thinking of DUST!

I know several people who have done this and works fine

you won't get as much dust in a dressing room as in a bedroom.

You probably ought to have boxes or drawers though, where you put your out-of-season clothes. Your ballgowns can hang in those long garment bags.

And you woolies in sealed boxes with moth killers.

Doors. You do get sunlight/light and this harms clothes. They could fade.

Great advice.
OK doors it is.

Right so thinking further the plan would be to have everyday stuff in the chest of drawers in my room, then out of season, smart (hanging up stuff), extras that I don't wear much but am not ready to get rid of, and shoes in the dressing room. Think that would work.
I was going to get a 2metre Ikea Pax unit so plenty of space and then I can have shoe rails, drawers etc. Then dressing table in there too.
Ha piglet me and ballgowns don't tend to go together!

I use a so are room as a dressing room and it's on a different floor to my bedroom. It works fine

I have a dressing room separate to my bedroom and I love it. I have all my clothes and a dressing table in there, my husband has a wardrobe in our bedroom. I wouldn't worry about a bare bedroom unless it would look empty due to the size, it's lovely and tranquil because all my clutter is elsewhere.

As someone else said, definitely do doors on the wardrobe - especially if you are a fan of dry shampoo....

Sure, but I'd keep my knickers, t shirts and skirts all in the place I get dressed, for the same reason as I keep my toothbrush and toothpaste together, next to the sink. It's just quicker and easier, dressing gown or not.

We are going to do just this when we move back to the UK in a fortnight. We'll have a single bed in there for convenience (to pile washing on!), but we have got used to having a dressing room in our last two rentals abroad.

We will have freestanding IKEA hanging rails to start with, as we do here (very old house, renting etc, so no wardrobes), but will eventually get PAX interiors and think about doors etc later.

The room in question is adjacent to mine, and could be knocked through, but I'd rather sell the house as a 4 bed than a 3 bed.

I do this! Reason being my king size bed is too big to go in the room where the fitted wardrobes are. I have chests of drawers in my bedroom where I keep socks and underwear, but everything else is in the other room. I may change things at some point in the future but right now it works for me.

I gave a very small wardrobe and a small chest of drawers in my bedroom and then overflow in another room down the hall.

I mostly choose my clothes the night before, and have a dressing gown. Only down side is this is also where guests sleep but it's quite rare so makes sense.

Plus the upside is that my room is super calm and uncluttered.

Pjs, pants and t shirts are in with me though.

I'd be tempted to swap over the non adjacent bedroom with an adjacent one if there is one. Or does that not work with your layout?

I converted a cupboard off my bedroom into a walk in wardrobe. Windowless so no doors. Around 1.5x2metres (I think).

Quote from Sharps was around £8k for units with no doors. I played around on Ikea's PAX wardrobe thing online and went into store where a nice guy helped me with it, and did it all for about £350. Paid a guy about £90 to put it up.

So unless you are minted, go to IKEA! If I was doing draws and doors I'd have perhaps painted the doors and bought fancy knobs or something. Or just keep it nice and plain.

I can't swap bedrooms Pinkdoor now but think it will work out.

wow that is a price difference!! I was definitely planning to get Ikea Pax especially as it is not in my own bedroom so door styles are a bit less important and they have some good ones anyway.
Really want all the Pax organising stuff like shoe racks and drawers!
