Dressing Room
Pattern 189Description
Provide a small dressing room (or dressing alcove) adjacent to the main bedroom — separate from the sleeping area but inside the suite. Combines walk-in closet + dressing space.
Why this exists
Dressing in the bedroom is functional but not graceful. A small dressing alcove with a mirror elevates the daily routine.
