Armoires: Storage, Style and Fit

Choosing for Your Room

• Storage needs: For clothing, check hanging depth and rail space; for linens or tableware, look for suitable shelves and drawers. The interior matters as much as the cabinet’s appearance.
• Space and access: Measure the footprint and leave space for doors and drawers to open. Check the delivery route, too—including doorways, stairs and turns.

Making It Work in Your Home

• Mixing styles: An armoire needn’t match your other furniture. Contemporary lines can balance decorative pieces, while an older cabinet can bring figured wood and distinctive hardware into a simpler room. A shared colour or wood tone helps connect new, vintage and antique pieces.
• Available options: New armoires may offer manufacturer choices in finishes and interior fittings. Our in-house workshop can assess repairs, refinishing or modifications to an existing piece, with care for original details worth preserving.
