Whether you have an important work meeting or are going on a casual stroll, your personal style tells a story about who you are. As such, it makes sense to need a place in your bedroom that keeps your clothing organized (and helps to preserve their longevity).

When it comes to clothing storage, there are options beyond your traditional dresser. That’s where armoires and chests come in, and you may find that they appeal more to your interior aesthetic and preferences. Read on to learn more.

What is an Armoire?

An armoire is a tall cabinet most commonly used to store clothes; it typically features two doors with hanging space, shelves, and drawers. Centuries ago, armoires were traditionally used to store weapons and armor, and often showcased ornate carved designs. Today, there are iterations that can also be used as a media stand by placing your TV on a shelf within the cabinet. Though they are moveable, they also tend to be on the heavier side due to their sturdy nature. If you are looking for a regal piece of furniture that will add a luxurious feel to your room, then an armoire may be right for you.
