Black Armoires are Modern and Stylish

February 7th, 2010, Posted in armoire, wardrobe closets

Black armoires can be absolutely beautiful in the right room. Just like the white armoires that were reviewed yesterday, black armoires definitely have a place in today’s more modern homes. Many of the new designs are totally black and white and the right piece can totally set off the room. An armoire is often the focal point of any bedroom, so you want to make sure that the right one is purchased.

Sonoma Black 2-Door Armoire, Prepac, $150
This very modern and very stylish armoire was once priced much higher, but for some reason people did not find it very attractive. While it may not be the perfect piece for a high-end adult room, it is perfect for the teenager that is just starting to grow up. It has very clean lines and a simple, yet elegant look about it. For the price, this is an absolute steal right now. Check out Amazon.com and various other online retailers for this armoire.

Camden Black Armoire, American Drew, $775
This is just a classic and very sharp looking black armoire. It is perfect as either a bedroom armoire or as the center piece in the dining room. There are not enough good things to say about this product as it truly a beautiful piece of furniture. The elegant bottom drawers and the long door top section set this apart from just about anything else in its class.

Series 200 Armoire, Status, $750
This piece wins out because of the very unique look that it has. It totally gets away from the traditional look and has an open space at the top where something could be displayed and then two very long doors that open into the wardrobe closet. While the space that is taken by the top features restricts this armoire to only one bottom drawer, the look is worth the sacrifice. It may not be for everyone, but whoever has this in their home has something truly special.

White Wardrobe Armoire Closets to Compliment the Modern Bedroom

February 5th, 2010, Posted in armoire, basics, reviews, wardrobe closets

When we generally think of armoires, a picture of traditional stained French style armoire will pop into our heads. Shockingly enough, not all bedroom sets have stained oak furniture or are antique hand-me-downs. Believe it or not, there are bedrooms sets that this traditional look would clash with and be totally unacceptable. For those with a more modern look, perhaps a white or black armoire would do nicely. Here is a quick look at a few white armoires to fill a variety of needs.

Cotton Candy Pure White Armoire, South Shore Furniture, $300
South Shore Furniture has several models available in this price range and color, but this one is recommended mostly because of the lower drawer space. If the wardrobe armoire is being used solely for clothing storage, this will more than do the job. It features an inside mirrored door with large shelving units that are ideal for sweater storage, a side hanging closet and 2 large pull-out drawers on the bottom of the cabinet. It is pretty tough to beat for right around $300.

Vista White Armoire, Sorelle, $770
This is obviously a much more expensive model, but it is quite stunning. Designed in traditional French Fashion, it can be used solely for clothing or in combination with a TV stored in the top compartment. The drawers are high and deep and the hanging space is perfect for a large television or to hold all of your finer garments. If shopping for children look elsewhere, as this is definitely an adult piece of furniture.

Children’s Products Shaker White Armoire, Delta, $200
White is a very popular color for children’s rooms and it would be unjust to leave them totally out. Delta has a simple, yet very cute white armoire that is perfect for the kids. It features three pull-out drawers on the bottom and actually sacrifices very little space in the top compartment to make this happen. The space that is available is perfect for small TV or to house some action figures or dolls.

Knowing full well that white will not go with all modern styled bedrooms, tomorrow will feature some of the best black armoires. This is something that you will not want to miss because these pieces are absolutely stunning.

Mahogany Jewelry Armoire Furniture

February 4th, 2010, Posted in armoire, jewelry armoire

The website Amazon sells millions of items – probably each day, if not ever week for sure – and one item that’s always in stock is various jewelry armoire. While they sell them in different styles and finishes, including cherry, oak, and others, in this article, we will review 2 jewelry armoires with a mahogany finish for individuals interested specifically in a mahogany armoire. The two featured in this article run between roughly $300 to $400.

Now, let us take a closer look at each one of these fine mahogany jewelry armoires.

First up we have what’s known as a Deluxe Jewelry Armore from Amazon, coming in right under $400 at $379. Here’s a picture showing what it looks like with all the drawers, tops, and sides closed down:



You can see that for a price like this, you get a nice looking piece of furniture. This item has 7 drawers from top to bottom, not including top upper area which opens into yet another storage space for your jewelry, as well as both sides, which swing open and allow you to access to the inside of the panel to hang necklaces and other jewelry in seconds.

Note that each drawer features a small handle design and at the top we have a nice looking abstract design as well to give the unit a bit of style and flavor.

Overall, a nice mahogany finish completes this jewelry armoire, which has all the features a normal jewelry collection would need to be stored safe and sound inside this unit.

Next up we have a second mahogany jewelry armoire from Amazon as well, which is strikingly different from the first. This is a wall mount jewelry armoire, which means instead of resting on its legs it’s actually installed into the wall. These are fantastic for individuals needs a jewelry armoire who are short on floor space or whom simply appreciate the look of a nice wall mounted armoire. (It also means you can place the armoire in some interested places, such as inside a large walk in closet or in the bathroom for easy access to your jewelry when getting ready for the day!)

Here is what this armoire looks like closed:




You cannot see it from this picture, but of course it opens up in a diverse jewelry chest, good for storing any and all jewelry items, including rings and ear rings, which are fastened in and won’t fall out.

If you’re after a mahogany jewelry armoire, I personally like this one here better than the first one above. I think having a nice sized mirror in addition to it being wall mounted makes this armoire look very simple yet elegant, which is the perfect contrast to have in a jewelry armoire worthy of holding a woman’s jewelry collection!

What Classifies a Wardrobe Armoire as French/European Style?

February 4th, 2010, Posted in armoire, wardrobe closets

There are many different types of armoires on the market today. Some are designed specifically for use as a wardrobe armoire and others are made for different purposes such as jewelry or as an entertainment cabinet. So what classifies a wardrobe armoire as French/European style?

One of the reasons a wardrobe armoire is considered French/European is the way it is made and constructed. The classic French style of wardrobe closet will feature multiple drawers on the bottom of the armoire and a hanging closet as the top portion. While many people today will use this to house their televisions, it is actually meant as a place to hang their finer clothing.

Remember, when armoires were first created, homes more than likely did not have the closet space that is present in the houses that we live in today. Because of this, these large cabinets were used as a way to keep clothing organized and clean. Over the years, higher end models were made and actually considered a type of status symbol. The fancier and more expensive the armoire, the more likely that the owner came from class and wealth.

They can either be made in a simple style but typically they have carvings and embellishments that are made out of wood to decorate them. These can be purchased either as antiques or brand new ones are being made in the same French/European styles that were so popular centuries ago. Those who have a new one can easily make theirs look like an antique with just a few tricks that they can find online.

When looking for a wardrobe armoire that fits the French/European style, look for those that are made of wood. They should also have drawers on the bottom with a cabinet at the top. New ones can be made to look antique with just a few tricks that can be found online which are quite easy to do.
