Real-Life Inspiration: Converting a Bedroom Into a Dressing Room
It’s many a clothes lover’s dream come true: turning an entire bedroom into a Carrie Bradshaw-style closet. And while you can find plenty of professionally staged, drool-worthy examples online, most of the time they’re not really feasible for those of us on a budget. Here, we found five examples of real-life bedrooms converted into dressing rooms by resourceful (and lucky!) bloggers.
1The goal for Elsie atA Beautiful Messwas to be able to see her entire wardrobe at a glance, so instead of hiding away her shoes on shelves in the “real” closet, she decided to put them on display!
2Brit fromBrit + Co.turned a spare bedroom into a boudoir by installing a shelving system along one of the walls. Her trick for maximizing limited rack space is to use velvet hangers, which are skinnier than normal hangers.
3Although this dressing room from our Apartment Therapy tour used to be a living room, it now serves as a showroom for Holly’s clothing line and shows just how much character you can add to a blank canvas. Here, Holly built shelves out of reclaimed wood and added dramatic decor to set the mood.
4Colleen fromJimmy Choos on the Treadmillcreated her dream closet after her brother moved out of the room. A vanity, chaise, and simple rack system from Home Depot round out the well organized space.
5It could easily pass for a showroom, but this stylish space is a combined dressing room and home office for Mai fromA Cup of Mai. We see the clothes, but what about the desk? It’s actually tucked into the built-in closet of the former bedroom!
