Dressing room | 17th century farmhouse | Surrey
For this characterful 17th-century farmhouse in Surrey, Figura were asked to bring a sense of order, calm and everyday practicality to the master suite. The brief centred on creating a beautifully refined dressing room that would support the rhythm of family life while respecting the historic fabric of the house. Working in close collaboration with our client, we shaped an interior that feels deeply functional yet quietly serene—an environment designed to simplify daily routines and introduce a sense of gentle luxury.
From the earliest sketches through to the final detailing, our approach was rooted in thoughtful spatial planning and a commitment to craftsmanship that sits comfortably within this centuries-old property. Every wardrobe, shelf, hanging rail and drawer was bespoke, tailored precisely to the client’s belongings so that seasonal clothing, accessories and everyday essentials each found an intuitive and easily accessible place. The result is a dressing room defined by clarity, organisation and beautifully resolved joinery.
Located beside the master bedroom, the dressing area benefits from expansive views across the garden and lake, allowing natural light to soften the space throughout the day. The use of warm oak cabinetry brings a sense of timeless depth and texture, enhancing the room’s inviting character. Deep drawers were designed to house knitwear and larger items, while solid oak accents add a tactile contrast that complements the farmhouse’s original beams and period details.
The palette was kept soft and nurturing, creating a calm retreat perfectly suited to bedtime routines, quiet early-morning moments or simply a place to pause during a busy day. Every element—material, proportion and detail—was considered to ensure the dressing room feels both grounded in the home’s history and perfectly aligned with contemporary family life. This project reflects Figura’s belief in designing spaces that balance beauty with purpose—crafted interiors that feel personal, practical and deeply connected to their architectural setting.
