Dorothee Collection: Classic Bedroom with a Dressing Corner

This page covers the Dorothee classic bedroom and how to plan its dressing area today. Dorothee paired a carved solid wood bed with a four-drawer chest, a tall six-drawer chest, a stool, an armchair and a mirror. The pieces discussed here centre on dressing: a mirrored wardrobe and a carved dressing table.

Placing the dressing table

Put the dressing table where daylight falls on the face, usually beside a window. Keep it away from the wardrobe doors so both can be used at once. The Gran Guardia Dressing Table 2063 by Francesco Pasi is carved entirely by hand in solid cherry, with gold leaf or silver leaf applied by hand. A stool, like the one in the old Dorothee set, completes the corner.

A wardrobe with bronzed mirror doors

Mirrored doors give a full-length view without a separate mirror. The Gran Guardia Wardrobe 2066 by Francesco Pasi has two sliding doors with bronzed mirrors, and its doors and drawers are solid wood, 34 mm. Sliding doors also leave the floor clear for the dressing table. Put the wardrobe on the longest wall, away from the window. Other elegant bedroom furniture fits around this plan.

The bed as the quiet piece

With carving on the dressing table and mirrors on the wardrobe, the bed can stay simple. The Opera Upholstered Bed, 200x200 cm by Francesco Pasi has an upholstered headboard and measures H 138 x W 212 x D 218 cm. Its finishes include 100 Gloss Ivory and Taupe. To match the dressing table, choose Luxury Cream or Hazelnut, which appear on both pieces. For the rest of the house, browse elegant italian furniture.
