Wardrobe Closets

Wardrobe storage is a great option for people who do not have adequate built in storage space in their homes. Wardrobes are available in a wide variety of sizes, finishes, styles, and price ranges.

Most people use wardrobes as extra space for clothing, shoes, hats, scarves, or jewelry. An antique wardrobe can make a terrific decorator piece. Inexpensive portable wardrobes can be used to store out of season clothing such as winter coats.

Wardrobes usually are made out of wood or particle board. The wardrobes that are made out of real wood are more expensive, and can cost over $1000.00. Particle board versions can be found in many different finishes to match existing wood furniture. They also come in colors such as black and white.

Portable wardrobes can be used for those who are not looking for a wood finish. They are an inexpensive storage solution. Besides keeping out of season clothing, they also have compartments for things like shoes and hats. Some people even like to store extra blankets in them. The portable wardrobe protects belongings and keeps them from getting wrinkled. Because they zip closed, they protect clothing from insects such as moths.

Portable wardrobes can be purchased almost anywhere. Large retail stores carry them for very reasonable prices. They usually start under $100.00. Wood wardrobes are usually only found at furniture stores, but sometimes they can be found at antique shops. Antique shops can offer great display pieces for any home.

Depending upon the wardrobe, they may need to be assembled. If they are very heavy, most manufacturers recommend fastening them to the wall to keep them from tipping over.

Homeowners should evaluate their specific situation before choosing a wardrobe and the recommended hardware. The hardware and fasteners needed will vary by wardrobe and the type of building material used in the home.

The original portable wardrobe was fashioned from wood. It had a beautiful design. Today, some furniture manufacturers offer a wardrobe of comparable beauty. An online shopper can find one such wardrobe in the Ashby Collection. Details about the various items in that collection appear on the Pottery Barn web site.

The Ashby wardrobe, like all the furniture in the Ashby collection, was crafted from planks of Spruce, a durable wood with a rich grain. In addition to the wardrobe, the Ashby Collection includes a bed, a dresser and a bedside table. PotteryBarn also sells, and posts online pictures of a Belvedere armoire and drawer case.

The tall doors of the Belvedere armoire can open to reveal an open cabinet and removable clothing rod. The buyer of a Belvedere armoire has the opportunity to request an optional case, one that allows a 42 inch TV to be placed inside of the wardrobe. That optional case adds another $299 to the total cost of this lovely portable wardrobe.

The PotteryBarn catalogue puts forward the claim that the owner of a Belvedere armoire will want that piece of wardrobe furniture to remain in the family for many generations. This solid wood portable wardrobe has a rustic pine finish. The same catalogue indicates that the Belvedere armoire does not have to be used as a wardrobe storage item; it can also serve as an excellent entertainment center.

Like the Belvedere armoire, a bonnetiere can often function in a roll other than the role of “wardrobe.” Each bonnetiere has a window in its door. The original bonnetieres were used for storing lady’s bonnets. Not every wardrobe can have a dual use. A closet wardrobe and a mirror wardrobe do not have features that facilitate their use in a capacity other than the one for which they were originally designed.

As we acquire more stuff, we need more space. It is a fact of life, and since we are always getting more stuff, we will always need more space. Wardrobe closets are a great way to organize things, specifically, clothes, but wardrobes closets are often large and expensive. A more cost effective and space efficient option is a portable wardrobe closet.

A portable wardrobe or armoire is a temporary closet designed to give extra storage space in a pinch. As the name suggests, these closets are light weight and completely portable. They are simple to assemble, take apart, and move. Still, despite their portability, they are comparable to standard wooden armoires in terms of storage space.

Portable armoires are great options for anyone that needs a cheap and efficient way to organize and store clothing. These wardrobe closets are perfect for temporary living scenarios like college dorms or summer homes. A portable wardrobe is also a fantastic option for storing seasonal clothes. Why keep all those bulky winter coats in the primary closet all year? A portable wardrobe can store them safely and efficiently, but most importantly, they can be stored at a low cost.

Most of these portable armoires have fabric exteriors around a metal or plastic frame. Also, many portable armoires come on wheels. They have see-through nylon windows to facilitate viewing of the armoires contents. In most cases, temporary wardrobe closets are completely collapsible, so moving them is quite simple.

Wardrobe closets are a necessity for anyone with a significant amount of clothing and a minimal amount of space. A portable wardrobe closet offers the perfect temporary solution to any clothing storage problem. Furthermore, these closets are sturdy enough to serve as permanent storage if necessary. Best of all, the reasonable prices mean that anyone can afford a portable armoire.
