Please help me decide!

Throwaway for this!

Daughter essentially has a ‘suite’ of rooms.

Bedroom (self contained room)
Dressing room next door with en suite attached.

We need to connect through from bedroom to dressing room. It’s happening tomorrow so this is a very last minute wobble.

There will be a double door opening space created. I have decided against actually putting doors on as I think open plan will probably look better.

Now I am doubting myself.

Please help….!

I can’t quite figure out which bit is to NOT have doors and be open plan, but if it dressing room to bathroom, that would be a mistake as steam will hit the clothes and make them damp.

Sorry. So it’s a bedroom, and an en suite bedroom next door to it.

The bathroom definitely has a door, which will remain.

The issue is bedroom into dressing room - doors or no doors.

Bedroom into en-suite bedroom but we use it as bedroom - dressing room - en-suite

No thread has ever needed a diagram more!!! I have no idea OP. I can’t picture it at all.

I suppose you need to think whether the room that's becoming a dressing room is ever going to need to function as a bedroom again and, are you blocking up the original doors to the landing or not?

No there will be an entrance from the landing remaining to both bedroom and dressing room.

And no, it will never need to function as a bedroom again. Daughter is an only child and house has 5 double bedrooms (now 4 as we are using one as her dressing room). If we wanted to sell it (unlikely as it’s planned to be our forever home) we could close it up again for a few hundred pounds anyway.

We are definitely not removing the whole wall. There will be a set of double doors/opening to fit a set of double doors, the rest of the wall will remain.

Well I guess if she is ever likely to be in a position whereby she wants to try on outfits in private away from a potential partner in her room, she might appreciate having those doors.

But then you could also do that with a big curtain should that occur.

No idea how to add one but I suppose the main point is - there is a door opening inwards into the room.

There would then be another 2 doors opening inwards into the same room at right angles.

My gut is that’s a lot of doors flapping around and it will take up unnecessary space.

Husband and joiner both think no doors (the joiner is making the space to fit doors in case we do want them later down the line regardless).

I am just wavering in general!

She is 11 so I don’t think this particularly matters. The set up probably gives the impression she’s older, sorry!

Doors can be added if at any point she does want them though.

How tidy will the dressing room be? I know I’m a little messy and would LOVE to
be able to close the doors on it. I don’t have a dressing room but if I did, I know for a fact there’d be clothes piled on a chair, shoes tumbling over each other, clean laundry waiting to be put away….

Very. The whole house is immaculate, and will remain so. In fact if doors might encourage her to pile mess up, there will definitely not be doors going on 🤣🤣

Pocket doors between the bedroom and dressing room. No flapping doors and no mess to see.

No doors.
It will flow better and give direct access to the en-suite.

Had these in our old house and never again. The mess, the time it took to install….oh just never ever again.

They do look good though!

If you like pocket doors, something like this could work instead. Photo is from IKEA.

Oh I do like these!!!! Thank you
