Dressing Room Project – Transforming a Space into a Custom Wardrobe
Jun 5, 2025
Emma had a room in her home that was rarely used—a small boxroom that had become a dumping ground for old clothes, boxes, and forgotten items. She dreamed of transforming it into a beautifully organised dressing room where she could find everything she needed in one place. But every time she thought about starting the project, she felt overwhelmed.
Emma reached out to PaxBespoke after reading about our expertise in custom wardrobe solutions. She wanted to create a space that was not only functional but also stylish, tailored to her needs and the unique dimensions of her boxroom.
The Consultation: Understanding Emma’s Vision
When Emma contacted us, she explained her challenges:
● She wanted to maximise storage for her clothes, shoes, and accessories in a way that kept everything organised and accessible.
● She hoped to incorporate a small desk or vanity area into the room.
● She needed the design to fit the compact space without making it feel cramped.
Our team assured Emma that we could create a solution using the IKEA Pax system as the foundation. We walked her through the possibilities during a quick consultation, helping her visualise how the room could be transformed into a practical yet beautiful dressing room.
The Design Process: Bringing the Vision to Life
To meet Emma’s needs, we carefully designed a custom-fitted wardrobe system that made the most of her boxroom. Here’s how we tackled the project:
Maximising Storage Space:
○ Using the IKEA Pax frames, we created a wardrobe layout with adjustable shelves, hanging rails, and dedicated compartments for shoes and accessories.
○ Each section was tailored to Emma’s belongings, ensuring there was a place for everything.
Incorporating a Desk Area:
○ Emma wanted a small desk where she could sit and organise her jewellery or apply makeup. We used IKEA components to craft a sleek and functional desk that integrated seamlessly with the wardrobe design.
Optimising the Layout:
○ The room’s compact dimensions required careful planning to avoid overcrowding. We strategically placed the wardrobe units along one wall and added mirrored panels to the doors, making the room feel brighter and more spacious.
Adding Stylish Finishes:
○ Emma chose a neutral colour palette with matte white fronts and subtle gold hardware for the handles. This gave the room a clean, modern look that matched her home’s aesthetic.
Why a Custom Dressing Room Makes a Difference
Dressing rooms aren’t just a luxury—they’re a practical solution for organising your wardrobe and simplifying your daily routine. By turning her boxroom into a functional dressing area, Emma:
● Gained peace of mind knowing everything had its place.
