Armoires and Wardrobes

Armoires and wardrobes differ slightly in their purpose and construction. A wardrobe ordinarily has two tall doors from top to bottom, where clothes can hang safely on a rail attached inside. Underneath some wardrobes you will find two drawers for storing underwear or as small accessories. The combination of hanging space and drawers allows for extra storage.

An armoire is a very similar looking article of furniture. Sometimes they are designed to appear like a wardrobe, but they have hidden features that a wardrobe may not have. For instance, when you open the doors of a wardrobe, you will find a totally empty space, designed simply for hanging shirts, coats and trousers. However, an armoire, when opened, may reveal one side as a wardrobe and the other side to be a set of small drawers and compartments for storing other goods and chattels. The benefits of an armoire can also stretch to the surprise of opening the doors and not finding clothes hanging, but instead an entire entertainment system! For an example of such, have a look at the American Drew Bob Mackie Home Signature Armoire. The 1940’s style armoire has hidden secrets and you will be astonished at the level of craftsmanship involved in the building of this stunning piece.
