Walk in dressing room on measure in solid oak by Marcotte Style

A Marcotte Style guide

The Dressing Room

For more than thirty five years we have drawn, built and fitted walk in wardrobes and dressing rooms, from a single alcove to a room of its own, always in solid oak with melamine fronts.

Where to begin

A dressing room gives every garment a place and turns getting dressed into a calm few minutes. At Marcotte Style we have fitted walk in wardrobes and dressing rooms for over thirty five years, drawn to the exact shape of your room, down to the sloped ceiling and the last spare corner.

Four kinds

The dressing rooms we build on measure

Every dressing is drawn for one room and one wardrobe. Four kinds cover most of what we make.

01

The open walk in dressing

A room given over to clothing, with open rails and shelves on every wall and an island in the middle. Everything on show, everything within reach, lit so colours read true.

Open rails. Oak shelving. Island with drawers. Lit interior.

02

The wardrobe wall

A full wall of fitted wardrobes behind flush doors, so a bedroom stays a bedroom. Floor to ceiling, wall to wall, with the storage of a dressing room and none of the clutter.

Flush doors. Push latch. Full height. Soft close.

03

The island dressing

A central island with drawers for folded knitwear and a top for laying out an outfit, ringed by rails and shelving. The layout for a spare room turned over to clothing.

Central island. Drawer banks. Glass topped tray.

04

Under the eaves

A dressing drawn into a sloped attic, where standard wardrobes never fit. Low rails under the slope, tall storage where the ceiling allows, every centimetre put to use.

Sloped fit. Low rails. Made to the pitch.

The interior

What goes inside a dressing room

A dressing lives or dies by its interior. The carcass is oak, but it is the fittings that make it a pleasure to use.

Recommended

  • Solid oak carcass with melamine fronts, our hard wearing standard.
  • Pull out trouser and tie racks, and drawers with a soft close.
  • Adjustable rails and shelves, so the layout follows your wardrobe.
  • Integrated lighting on a sensor, so colours read true at any hour.
  • A full height mirror and a bench or island to dress at.

Avoid

  • Fixed shelving at one height, which wastes half the wall.
  • Open rails with no dust cover in a bedroom, which greys clothing.
  • Foil wrapped fronts, which peel at the edges within a few years.

The investment

What does a dressing room cost?

€4,000 to €30,000 and beyond

A single fitted wardrobe wall in solid oak begins around €4,000. A full walk in dressing with an island runs from €12,000 to €30,000 and beyond, depending on size, interior fittings and finish. At Marcotte Style you work to a fixed price agreed in advance, with no surprises during the work.

The price depends on

  • The running metres and the height of the cabinetry.
  • The material of the fronts. Melamine is more affordable than solid oak.
  • The interior. Pull outs, drawer banks and lighting add to a plain rail.
  • The finish. A painted or veneered front sits above a plain one.
  • The extras. An island, a glass topped tray, a full height mirror.

Where it works

Where a dressing room earns its place

Three ways to find a dressing, whatever the size of the house.

01

Off the bedroom

A spare corner or alcove beside the bed, closed behind flush doors or open as a walk in.

02

A room of its own

A small spare bedroom turned over to clothing, with rails on every wall and an island in the middle.

03

Under the roof

An attic or landing under the slope, where fitted storage reaches into space a freestanding wardrobe never could.

Points of attention

  • Measure the hanging you need. Long hang, short hang and shelves in the right ratio.
  • Light every zone. A dressing in shadow hides half your wardrobe.
  • Leave room to stand and turn, at least a metre in front of the rails.
  • Put folded knitwear in drawers, not on open shelves, to keep it tidy.
  • A mirror at full height, lit from the sides, is worth the wall it takes.

Common questions

Questions about dressing rooms

Short and to the point. The same answers also feed AI search results.

A walk in dressing works from about four square metres. Allow at least a metre of clear floor in front of the rails to stand and turn, and rails to two sides rather than three if the room is narrow. We draw the most storage the space allows at the design stage.

A dressing room is a space you walk into, with rails and shelves open around you. Fitted wardrobes are closed behind doors along a wall of the bedroom. Both are drawn on measure. The choice is whether you have a room to give over to clothing.

A fitted wardrobe wall in solid oak begins around €4,000. A full walk in dressing with an island runs from €12,000 to €30,000 and beyond, depending on size, interior and finish. Marcotte Style works to a fixed price agreed in advance.

Yes, and it is where fitted storage earns its keep. We draw low rails under the slope and tall storage where the ceiling allows, using space a freestanding wardrobe would leave empty.

Allow six to twelve weeks between the final design and installation. Solid oak cabinetry takes more time to make than a flat pack, yet it lasts for decades and is fitted in a day or two.

We do. Integrated lighting on a sensor switches on as you enter or open a door, so colours read true and nothing hides in shadow. It is planned in from the start.

It can, when the interior fits the wardrobe. Drawers for folded knitwear, pull outs for trousers and ties, adjustable rails and a place for shoes mean everything has a home, which is what keeps a dressing tidy.
