What Is an Armoire Wardrobe?

Do you find yourself wondering, “What is an armoire wardrobe exactly?” An armoire wardrobe is a free-standing piece of furniture designed to store clothing, shoes, purses, and other accessories. They are typically used in bedrooms; however, many types of armoire wardrobes are so versatile with their easy-open doors and multiple shelves that they’re often placed in other rooms too!

What Is the Difference Between a Wardrobe and an Armoire?

There is understandable confusion about what is the difference between a wardrobe and an armoire. The armoire dates back to the 17th century,  when it was a massively tall, narrow storage place for safekeeping armor and weaponry. The modern armoire is more accurately defined as a type of wardrobe. Whereas a wardrobe is a tall storage cabinet with a combination of shelving, storage drawers, and hanging rods—an armoire is typically wooden and freestanding, with a hanging bar and one or two doors.

What Do You Store in an Armoire?

The storage world is your oyster when it comes to a versatile armoire, but consider where you’re placing it when deciding what to store in it. Clothing, accessories, purses, shoes, and spare linens store great in bedrooms. Video game systems, board games, and throws are perfect for living room armoires. There are even laundry room armoires to stow laundry soap and accessories, and kitchen armoires for storing extra food!
