How to Use a Room Divider in a UK Bedroom to Create a Dressing Area

A dedicated dressing area feels like a luxury, yet many British bedrooms can achieve one without any building work. The secret is to divide the space you already have rather than wishing for more, and a room divider is the simplest way to do it.

In this guide we explain how to choose the right spot to divide, pick a screen that suits your room, and arrange the dressing zone behind it with a dressing table, mirror and storage.

5 Ways to Create a Dressing Area Without a Dedicated Room
