Made-to-measure dressing rooms

Approach

Bespoke dressing room

A made-to-measure dressing room is built around your wardrobe, not around a standard size.

Buying a cupboard is easy, getting a dressing room that works is not. The difference lies in what has to go inside. How much long clothing hangs there, how many folded stacks, how many shoes and bags, and what has to come out every morning compared with what comes out twice a year. An off-the-shelf wardrobe starts from an average. A made-to-measure dressing room starts from your clothes, your space and your habits, and that is exactly why it still fits years later.

That is why we begin with an inventory instead of a drawing. How many running metres of hanging space do you have today, and how much is missing? What hangs long, what hangs short, and how many drawers do you need for underwear, jumpers and accessories? Only once that is settled do we divide the space into hanging sections, drawers, shelves and shoe racks, and only then do we choose the fronts and the colour.

We design, have made and install ourselves. As interior architects we measure the space, draw the floor plan and work out every wardrobe section to the millimetre. The wardrobes are made for us in Italy, in your size and your colour, and our own team delivers and installs them. For niches, sloping ceilings and beams where no standard size fits, we make the work in our own workshop. That way there is one point of contact from the first sketch to handover.

Why made to measure

What a made-to-measure dressing room delivers compared with an off-the-shelf wardrobe.

Grey wardrobe wall under a sloping ceiling with a black beam, with a lit niche and an open compartment beside the bed — Under a sloping ceiling, made to measure always wins.

01
Every centimetre counts

A standard wardrobe leaves space unused at the top, at the sides and at the back. Made to measure, the wardrobe runs up to the ceiling and into the corner, and you often gain half a wardrobe on the same wall.
02
The layout follows your clothes

You decide how much long hanging space, how much short, how many drawers and how many shoe racks. If your wardrobe changes, you move the shelves and the rails.
03
Sloping ceilings and beams

Exactly where an ordinary wardrobe does not fit, made to measure gains the most. The metres under a sloping ceiling become drawers, shoe racks or a low cupboard with flaps.
04
Everything in one line

The dressing room can have the same finish as your bedroom, your made-to-measure cupboards and your bathroom, because it all comes from the same design.
05
Lighting is included

Led lighting in the uprights, the shelves and the drawers is drawn in and wired from the start, instead of being stuck on afterwards on batteries.
06
A plan that is right beforehand

You see the floor plan, the detail drawing with the dimensions and a photorealistic 3D image before anything is ordered. The mistakes are out before the first shelf is made.

Starting with your clothes

Laying out a dressing room starts with counting, not with drawing.

Running metres are the first question. We measure how many metres of hanging space you use today and how much you are short. A shirt or a jacket takes up about five to six centimetres in width, a winter coat twice that. Fifty shirts and jackets therefore soon call for three running metres of short hanging space. Anyone who counts that beforehand does not discover afterwards that half the clothing still hangs somewhere else.

Long and short hanging are two different zones. Dresses, coats and long jackets need about one hundred and fifty centimetres of clear height. Shirts, cardigans, trousers on a clamp and skirts manage with one hundred to one hundred and ten centimetres, which lets you fit a second rail or a block of drawers under a short hanging zone. That double hanging zone is the simplest way to almost double the capacity of a wardrobe.

What is folded belongs in drawers or behind a flap. Jumpers, T-shirts and sportswear are better in drawers fifteen to twenty centimetres high than on a deep shelf, where the bottom stack never comes back up. For underwear and accessories, a low drawer with dividers in wood or faux leather works best. Everything you rarely need, suitcases, spare blankets and seasonal clothing, we place at the very top or the very bottom.

Long hanging space: allow 150 cm of clear height
Short hanging space: 100 to 110 cm, with room for a second rail underneath
Drawers: 15 to 20 cm high for jumpers, 10 to 12 cm for accessories
Shoes: sloping racks about 35 cm deep, lit if they stand behind glass

Open wardrobe system with glass shelves, folded jumpers, hanging shirts and a pull-out trouser rack — Hanging, folding and pulling out, each counted separately.

Design

Draw first, build second

Nothing is ordered before you have seen your dressing room on plan.

Every dressing room starts with us on paper. We measure the space, draw the floor plan with the pipes, the radiators and the opening direction of the doors, and then work out every wardrobe section separately with its dimensions, its layout and its colour code. On top of that comes a photorealistic 3D image, so that you see what you are getting instead of having to imagine it. That image contains the real materials, not a generic simulation.

Those drawings are not a formality. They take out exactly the mistakes that can no longer be solved afterwards. A hinged door that hits an open drawer. A sloping ceiling that eats half a metre of hanging space. A wardrobe wall that will not go up the stairs or along the corridor and therefore has to be delivered in parts. A switch or a ventilation grille that falls just behind a side panel. Such things cost five minutes on plan and a week on site.

You can adjust as long as the design process is running. We are happy to draw the same space in different directions: open and light, closed and calm, or a combination. You compare the images side by side and choose the one that stays with you. Revisions are part of it. The full arrangement around fees and 3D is on rates and 3D.

Dimensions that work

The dimensions that keep a made-to-measure dressing room right.

01
Depth 60 centimetres

A wardrobe with a hanging rail across the width needs about 55 centimetres internally, so 60 externally. Shallower is only possible with a pull-out rail mounted crosswise, and that takes up width.
02
Clear passage 100 centimetres

Between two wardrobe walls or between a wardrobe and an island, it is best to keep a metre clear. Less than 90 centimetres and you can no longer pull a drawer out fully while standing in front of it.
03
Hanging height, long and short

Allow 150 centimetres of clear height for coats and dresses, 100 to 110 centimetres for shirts and trousers. Under a short hanging zone there is room for a second rail or a block of drawers about 90 centimetres high.
04
Top shelf at 200 centimetres

Whatever sits higher than your reach rarely comes out again. Above that line we put suitcases, spare blankets and seasonal clothing, preferably in closed compartments so that no dust settles on them.
05
Drawers that open all the way

A drawer on full-extension runners comes out all the way. A drawer on roller runners stays ten centimetres inside, and it is exactly those ten centimetres that go unused.
06
Shoes at 35 centimetres

A sloping shoe rack about 35 centimetres deep and 18 centimetres high per level takes two pairs side by side. High boots get their own compartment 45 centimetres high.

The interior

A dressing room is judged on what you cannot see when the door is closed.

The inside decides whether you enjoy using the wardrobe. Hanging rails at the right height, drawers that open all the way, shelves you can move yourself when your wardrobe changes, and light that comes on when the door opens. Those are the things you deal with every morning, and they are also the things you cannot see in a photo of a wardrobe front.

Everything is drawn in, nothing is stuck on afterwards. The dividers in the drawer, the sloping shoe rack, the pull-out trouser rack, the tie rack, the mirror on the inside of a door and the space for the laundry basket or the ironing board. Anyone who only thinks of that after installation ends up with double-sided tape on a freshly lacquered front.

Choose the wardrobe interior together with the fronts. A white interior makes a closed wardrobe lighter and shows dirt sooner. An interior in a wood decor or with a woven textile structure looks warmer and hides small scratches better. Behind glass doors the inside becomes part of the room, so you then choose it just as deliberately as the front itself.

Details up close

What sets a made-to-measure dressing room apart on the inside.

Lit display cabinets with glass doors holding handbags and shoes on shelves — **Display cabinet with light per shelf** Behind glass the inside becomes part of the room. Every shelf then gets its own led line, otherwise the bottom half falls into the dark.

Fluted glass in a wardrobe door, with a warm glass pendant lamp and a linen drawer front behind it — **Fluted glass** Fluted glass lets light through but does not show disorder. It works well for wardrobes that stand in a living space.

Detail of a wardrobe door in bronze-coloured glass with a thin dark frame, next to a lit shelf — **Bronze glass in a thin frame** Tinted glass in bronze or smoke makes the contents vaguer the darker it gets. The frame can be black, bronze or champagne.

Wardrobe doors in fluted glass with shelves and folded clothing behind them, in warm light — **Flutes with light through them** The same type of glass reads differently depending on the lighting behind it. That is why it is best to choose glass with the light present.

Wardrobe wall in dusty pink grooved panels next to a dressing table with a round mirror, a pouffe and a bed under a wooden ceiling — **A grooved panel by a dressing table** A grooved front gives relief without a handle. Next to a dressing table with a mirror it becomes the calm surface in the room.

Wardrobe wall with glass doors next to a bathroom with a freestanding bath and a natural stone wall — **Dressing room next to the bathroom** If the dressing room adjoins the bathroom, we take moisture into account: no open hanging space against the wet zone and enough ventilation.

Materials

Fronts, colours and glass

Nine front materials and 2050 lacquer colours for your dressing room.

Anything is possible, and the choice depends on the space and the budget. We work with solid wood, veneer, melamine and lacquered MDF, chosen per project. There are nine front families: melamine, biogenic melamine, ultra matt, high-gloss plastic, the MDF framed door, lacquered MDF, high-gloss lacquer, wood veneer and solid wood. Anyone who says there is only one right material is selling what he happens to have in stock.

For lacquered fronts you choose from the full NCS range. That is 2050 lacquer colours, in matt, satin or high gloss. Besides that there are many more front models than the series you see here: flat, framed, grooved, with a groove as a handle, handleless or with tip-on. If you see a colour or a model somewhere else, we will look it up for you. With us oak is oiled or stained, never bleached.

Glass and mirror belong in the conversation about materials. Clear glass shows everything, smoked glass and bronze glass make the contents vaguer, fluted glass breaks up the image completely and frosted glass lets through only light and silhouettes. A mirror can hang on the inside of a door or run across a full front, which instantly makes a narrow dressing corridor look twice as wide.

Sliding, hinged or open

Which type of door suits your dressing room?

Open wardrobe frame in black metal under a sloping ceiling, with hanging space, a grey pouffe and suitcases on the bottom shelf — Open, closed or behind glass: the space has a say.

01
Hinged doors

The classic choice and the cheapest. You see the entire contents of the wardrobe in one movement. Do allow the full door width of clear space in front, so at least 50 to 60 centimetres.
02
Sliding doors

For a narrow room where a hinged door cannot open fully. They take up no space, but you only ever see half of the wardrobe at a time and they cost more than hinged doors.
03
Open without doors

An open system looks light and is the quickest to use, but it calls for order and dust settles on it. It works best in a separate dressing room, not in the bedroom itself.
04
Glass doors

The compromise: dust-free and yet visible. With fluted, smoked or bronze glass the contents become vaguer. This is also the most expensive option and it calls for a tidy wardrobe interior.

What is possible

Six ways to lay out the same space as a dressing room.

Which shape it becomes depends on the space and on how much you want to show. An open wardrobe looks light but calls for order, a closed wardrobe wall disappears into the wall.

Freestanding display cabinet with glass sides on herringbone parquet, with a lit garment inside — **Freestanding display cabinet** A separate cabinet with glass on all sides, usable as an eye-catcher in the middle of a large bedroom.

Freestanding glass cabinet with a dark frame separating the passage from the bedroom, on a wooden floor — **Wardrobe as a room divider** The cabinet separates the bedroom from the passage and can be used from both sides. That way you do not need an extra wall.

Wardrobe wall with closed doors on one half and open compartments with shelves on the other — **Half open, half closed** What is beautiful may stay visible, the rest disappears behind a door. That is also the cheapest way to work with open sections.

White wardrobe wall with a desk niche clad in dark wood with shelves, drawers and a table lamp, and a grey pouffe in front of it — **Wardrobe wall with a desk niche** In a guest room or a small bedroom the same wall combines hanging space with a workspace.

Glass wardrobe wall with a dark frame beside a bed, with lit shelves and hanging clothing behind it — **Glass wall beside the bed** A glass wardrobe wall beside the bed keeps the bedroom visually open and lets the light from the dressing room carry through.

Wardrobe wall in light oak with open compartments and an opening to the next room — **Wardrobe wall with an opening** The wardrobe runs across the full wall and leaves a framed opening in the middle. That way the corridor between bedroom and bathroom becomes part of the dressing room.

A dressing room has only succeeded once you no longer have to think about it.

Price

What a made-to-measure dressing room costs

What determines the price of a made-to-measure dressing room.

No packages, but a quotation item by item. Every dressing room is different, so we calculate each one separately. You get carcasses, fronts, interior fittings, glass, lighting and installation separately on the quotation. That way you can cut back or add wherever you want, and you see straight away what a choice costs. No hidden items and no extra work without your agreement.

The fee falls away when we carry out the work. If you buy the dressing room from us, you pay nothing for the measuring, the plan, the choice of materials and the photorealistic 3D. The full arrangement is on rates and 3D.

The running metre. The price follows the width and the height of the wardrobe first of all, not the number of doors.
How much workshop work. A straight wall is series work. A sloping ceiling, a beam or a corner of 87 degrees is not.
The front and the glass. Between melamine and a lacquered framed front with fluted glass there is a multiple, on the same carcass.
Lighting and technology. Light in the wardrobe calls for wiring, a driver and sometimes an extra socket or a switch.

€ Restrained A wardrobe wall in melamine or wood decor with flat hinged doors, a simple layout with a rail and shelves, without glass and without lighting in the wardrobe.

€€ Better equipped Lacquered or veneered fronts in the colour you choose, drawers with soft close and dividers, sloping shoe racks and led lighting in the uprights.

€€€ Fully bespoke A walk-in dressing room with an island, glass doors in a metal frame, lighting per shelf, mirrored walls and workshop work for sloping ceilings, beams and corners.

The classes above are relative and are not prices: they show where your choices push the cost. What your dressing room really costs is set out item by item in the quotation after the measuring.

No idea yet what you want

You do not have to know what you want, that is where we begin.

Round mirror on a cream-coloured wall next to a wardrobe wall in dark wood, with an olive green ribbed bench — We draw out several directions.

Options

Corners, niches and sloping ceilings

Where a made-to-measure dressing room gains the most space.

Under a sloping ceiling, made to measure always wins. A standard wardrobe 220 centimetres high simply does not fit there, so half the room stays unused. We draw a low cupboard there with flaps or drawers right up against the slope, and put the hanging space where the height is sufficient. Where the roof comes lower than about 80 centimetres, it becomes closed storage instead of a wardrobe you cannot reach into anyway.

An internal corner of 90 degrees is lost space unless you draw it out. Two wardrobes meeting at right angles leave a block of 60 by 60 centimetres in the corner that you cannot reach. With an angled corner unit, a swivelling corner rail or a pull-out corner element that becomes usable again. In older houses the corner is rarely exactly 90 degrees, and that is why we measure it instead of assuming it.

Niches, beams and under-stairs cupboards are the places nobody else fills. A niche beside a chimney breast, the space under a staircase or the section between two beams: those are not leftover spaces but proper wardrobes as soon as they are drawn. What we cannot have made in Italy, we make ourselves in the workshop. For storage that has nothing to do with clothing, read on at made-to-measure cupboards; for wooden cupboards in a country style at country cupboards.

Light and mirror

Lighting in the wardrobe turns storing away into showing.

Light in the wardrobe is not a luxury but a condition. A closed wardrobe 60 centimetres deep is always dark at the back, however good the room lighting is. Led lines in the uprights light up the full height, led strips under the shelves light what lies below them, and a spot in a display column picks out handbags or shoes. A door contact lets the light come on as soon as you open the door.

The colour temperature decides whether you see your clothes properly. Light that is too warm turns white into off-white and pulls blue towards grey. In a dressing room we usually work around 3000 kelvin, warm enough to stay pleasant and neutral enough to show colours honestly. Dimmable, so that a dressing room adjoining a bedroom does not feel like a shop every morning.

A mirror does more than show. Across a full door it makes a narrow dressing corridor twice as wide. On the inside of a door it stays out of sight until you need it. If there is room to spare, a standing mirror at an angle works better than a flat mirror against the wall, because you then see yourself from head to toe without having to step back.

The island

When an island in the dressing room makes sense.

Dressing room with white wardrobe walls with panelled doors, an island with an oak top and a chandelier — An island with an oak top between two wardrobe walls.

01
From three metres wide

An island needs a metre of clearance on both sides. Under three metres of width it gets in the way and you gain more with an extra wardrobe wall or a bench.
02
Drawers instead of shelves

The island is the place for underwear, accessories and jewellery: shallow drawers with dividers, with a lock if you wish. That way you no longer have to open a wardrobe door for them.
03
A top to fold on

On top comes a worktop on which you can put a suitcase or fold shirts. In oak, in lacquered MDF or in a stone look, depending on the rest of the dressing room.
04
Sitting is part of it

If there is no room for an island, a bench or a pouffe works just as well: putting your shoes on is simply better done sitting than standing.

Execution

How we work

From first conversation to installed dressing room, in five steps.

This is how a dressing room project runs with us. Every step has a clear end point, so that you always know where you stand.

Step 1

First conversation and inventory

We look at the space, your wardrobe and your budget. How many running metres of hanging space do you need, how many drawers, how many shoes, and who uses the wardrobe? After that you know what is possible.

In the showroom in Kapellen or at your home
The first conversation is free and without obligation

Step 2

Measuring and 3D design

We measure the space to the millimetre, with the pipes, the radiators and the slopes included. You get a floor plan, a detail drawing per wardrobe section and a photorealistic 3D image.

Adjusting until it is right
No fee when we carry out the work

Step 3

Choosing and ordering materials

You lay the samples side by side in daylight: fronts, glass, handleless or with a handle, and the wardrobe interior. After that we place the order and plan the delivery.

Fronts, glass, handle and interior are each chosen separately
The quotation is broken down item by item

Step 4

Delivery and installation

Our own team delivers, installs, connects the lighting and finishes against the wall and the ceiling. Where needed we make adjustments on the spot instead of working with a filler strip.

Installation by our own people
Adjustments to crooked walls are made on site

Step 5

Handover and aftercare

We go through everything together: do the doors close level, does the lighting work, are the shelves at the right height? After that we stay reachable on the same number.

One point of contact, after handover too
Shelves and rails remain movable afterwards

Why Marcottestyle

Why people trust us with their dressing room.

01
A plan first

A floor plan, a detail drawing and a 3D image before anything is ordered. That way the dimensions are fixed and the mistakes are out before production starts.
02
Made in Italy

The wardrobes are made for us in Italy, in your size and your colour, bought directly without middlemen. What you pay for sits in the furniture and in the installation.
03
Our own workshop for the difficult work

Sloping ceilings, beams, niches and corners that are not 90 degrees we make ourselves. That way nobody has to slip a filler strip in somewhere.
04
We install ourselves

Delivery, installation, lighting and finishing by our own team. No tradesmen pointing at each other when something is not right.
05
Everything in one line

Your dressing room can have the same finish as your bedroom, your kitchen or your living room, because it all comes from the same design.
06
Twenty-five years and more than 500 customers

We have drawn more than 1500 designs. With us a small job is just as welcome as a complete house.

Come and see

Seeing samples is quicker than describing them.

In the showroom in Kapellen the samples are ready. Fronts, types of glass, handle profiles and wardrobe interiors lie side by side there, in daylight. A colour on a screen and the same colour on a sample are two different things, and you only see that difference when you lay them next to your own floor. You will find our showrooms at showrooms.

Would you rather not travel? Then we come to you. We bring the samples, measure up straight away and look at the space in the light it really stands in. That is, incidentally, the most honest way to decide on colour. You plan an appointment through appointment, at home, in the showroom or by video call.

Do send us the dimensions or a photo in advance. A sketch on paper, an architect's plan or a screenshot of something you like: it all helps. You get a first proposal and a price indication back within one working day, for small projects too.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Questions about having a dressing room made to measure.

Lit wardrobe in dark wood with glass doors, hanging clothing, a handbag and a suitcase at the bottom — The details the questions are about.

What does a made-to-measure dressing room cost?

That depends on the running metres, the layout and the finish. A wardrobe wall in a wood decor with flat doors sits in a completely different class from a walk-in dressing room with glass doors, lighting per shelf and an island. At the first conversation we cost out your project free of charge, and after that a quotation follows in which carcasses, fronts, interior fittings, glass, lighting and installation are listed separately. That way you see for yourself where you can cut back or add.

Do you make the cabinetry yourselves or is it ordered in?

Both. The wardrobe walls and walk-in wardrobes from this range are made for us in Italy, in your size and your colour, bought directly without middlemen. Alongside that we make bespoke work ourselves in our own workshop, for example for sloping ceilings, niches, beams and corners where no standard size fits. Often a single dressing room contains something of both.

Do I get a drawing before I decide?

Yes. You get a floor plan, a detail drawing with the dimensions and the colours per wardrobe section, and a photorealistic 3D image with the real materials in it. As long as the design process is running and you have the work carried out by us, you pay no fee for that. The full arrangement is on the rates and 3D page.

How deep does a dressing room have to be?

For a wardrobe with a hanging rail across the width, allow 60 centimetres externally, because internally you need about 55 centimetres to keep the shoulder of a hanger clear. If you want it shallower, that is possible with a pull-out rail mounted crosswise, but that takes up width and holds fewer clothes. For a walk-in dressing room it is best to keep a metre of clear passage between two wardrobe walls.

How high does the hanging space have to be?

Allow 150 centimetres of clear height for coats, jackets and dresses. For shirts, cardigans, skirts and trousers on a clamp, 100 to 110 centimetres is enough, which lets you fit a second rail or a block of drawers underneath. That double hanging zone is the simplest way to almost double the capacity of the same wardrobe.

What if my room slopes or has beams in it?

Then we measure that up as well and draw the wardrobe around it. Under a sloping ceiling made to measure gains the most: the metres that would otherwise be lost become drawers, shoe racks or a low cupboard with flaps. Where the roof comes lower than about 80 centimetres, we turn it into closed storage instead of hanging space you cannot reach anyway.

Can the dressing room be in the same colour as the rest of my interior?

Yes. There are wood decors, veneer, lacquer, textured lacquer, grooved lacquer, marble look, metallic lacquer and glass. For lacquered fronts you can also choose from all 2050 NCS lacquer colours, in matt, satin or high gloss. There are also many more front models than the series shown on this page. If you see a colour or a model elsewhere, we will look it up for you.

Sliding doors or hinged doors?

Hinged doors are the cheapest and you see the entire contents in one movement, but you need the full door width of clear space in front of them. Sliding doors take up no space and are the right choice in a narrow room, but you only ever see half of the wardrobe at a time and they cost more. In a separate dressing room an open system without doors is possible, on condition that you keep things tidy.

Is lighting in the wardrobe included?

It is a choice, but we recommend it for every closed wardrobe deeper than 50 centimetres, because the back of it is always dark. Led lines in the uprights, led strips under the shelves and a door contact that switches the light on as soon as the door opens. We draw the wiring in from the start, so that no visible wire or battery lamp is needed afterwards.

Is a dressing room possible in an existing house without breaking work?

Usually yes. A wardrobe wall or a walk-in wardrobe is placed against existing walls and finished with a connecting profile. Only when a socket has to be moved, a radiator is in the way or a sloping wall has to be straightened does plastering or electrical work come into it. We say so in advance, on the basis of the measuring.

I have already seen an image I like. Is that possible?

Yes. Send a photo through, even if it comes from Pinterest or was made with an AI programme. We redraw it to your dimensions, with materials that really exist and can be supplied, and we say honestly what is not feasible. Using the form below you can send up to ten photos, sketches or plans.

How long does it take?

From the approval of the plan, production comes first and installation after that. Exactly how long that takes depends on the scale, on the chosen fronts and on whether workshop work is involved. The term is stated item by item in your quotation, so that you do not have to guess at it.

Do you also work outside the Antwerp region?

Yes. We work throughout Flanders, in Brussels and in the Netherlands, and we have also carried out projects in Luxembourg. For a first conversation we come to you or we plan a video call, and the measuring always happens on site.
