Increase your Property Value
Whether it’s your own home, a property for sale or a rental, creating a dedicated space that operates as a dressing room can add a lot of value. While walk-in wardrobes are desirable, compact London apartments may not have the room to accommodate one.
InStyle Direct are experienced in transforming spaces of any size, and this includes utilising a small corner or a simple wall extension into a dedicated area for dressing and self-care needs. And in very compact properties, this area might double as a working space, which is also high on the list of many renters.
While dressing rooms or dressing room areas cater to the lifestyle of modern tenants and homeowners, stats show it can add over 14% in resale value, equating to nearly £40,000 on the average selling price of a UK property.
Why do dressing rooms matter in modern London living?
From storing clothes to sorting out all beauty, grooming and fashion essentials in one place, a dressing room is a high-utility area in the house. Although many modern studios and apartments in the city may not have sufficient space for a walk-in closet, it is still possible to creatively add a dressing unit or area to these properties.
Custom-made vanity units paired with sleek vertical mirrors can help transform unused corners into decorative spaces for personal care. Where optimising floor space is a priority, floating or wall-mounted shelves with chic mirrors can give an elegant, minimalist look. Choosing the right furniture is crucial, too, and bespoke multifunctional furniture, such as dressing tables with customisable storage options, adds a lot of value. Or if something completely bespoke is required, that’s where InStyle can advise and create something perfect for the exact space and the usage.
