Wardrobe Closets

Everyone is very familiar with the traditional 2 door armoire that is many bedrooms across the globe, but when a different look is desired, a 3 door wardrobe armoire will do the trick. This unique piece of bedroom furniture puts a different twist on a traditional piece, but the look is not just for design. The extra door gives some much needed shelving to allow the armoire to serve its true purpose as a wardrobe closet.

The HomemartAmerica 3 Door Wardrobe Armoire is featured on Amazon.com for $309.99. It has a very modern looking black finish that is ideal for a bedroom with a lot of sharp lines and that shuns the look of traditional furniture. If modern is your thing and oak stain does not have a place in your heart, this is the perfect wardrobe closet to finish off the bedroom. This exact model is also available in Mahogany ($289.00) and White Maple ($199.99).

Pandora also has a very affordable and beautiful 3 door armoire. The Pandora 3 Door Wardrobe PAN3203 (HS) has a Mahogany finish, mirror on the inside of the third door, hanging rod, 2 additional drawers and plenty shelving in the extra compartment. This is a business man’s dream as there is plenty of space for suites, folded shirts, shoes, ties and any undergarments. If a man wants his own closet that can have everything in a single space, this is it.

Another great 3 door wardrobe closet is the Ameriwood Wardrobe with 3 Doors ($369.90 on Amazon.com). The oak finish is nothing spectacular, but it is loaded with room. It is a little wider than most of the models that we have seen and also has the drawers moved off totally to the side. This allows for longer garments to be hung and is the ideal 3 door wardrobe armoire for the young lady that is looking to store her multitude of dresses.

While there are models out that the cost significantly more, such as the Mission Style 3 Door Wardrobe Armoire, there is really no need to spend that kind of money unless you are determined to do so. The more expensive models are not offering more space, just a higher grade of wood or better finish. If value is what you are looking for, any of the models reviewed above will do nicely.

Most everyone is familiar with the wardrobe armoire, or what’s known now as a modern day wardrobe closet. While antique wardrobe closets tend to have a bit more differentiation in the styles -i.e. French, Indian, Chinese, European styles, etc, coming from the time frame period in which they were created – today, most follow a standardized 3 door design. These modern wooden wardrobe closets create the “classic appeal” in their physique. This is the type of armoire that people picture in their heads when they imagine a wardrobe closet.

The irony is that is there anything other than a wooden wardrobe closet? It all depends on what you consider part of the wardrobe closet family. Let’s take a look at some different items included in this category.

Wooden Wardrobe Closets. As mentioned, this is the type of armoire that we all know and recognize. Wooden wardrobe closets and similar pine wardrobe units are often very large, bulky, and weigh so much one person cannot easily move them. Modern designs typically warrant the inclusion of a 3 door front set with a set of drawers to the top and bottom of this design. The legs rest on the floor and do not contain any wheels.

Antique Wardrobe Closets. The variation in style here for antique armoires is much bigger than modern designs. Antique wardrobe closets were primarily built by hand. Many even on down to a craftsman who did nothing but create armoire style furniture. In this regard, we use the term armoire in the classic sense to describe any wood based furniture with drawers or cabinets.

Portable Wardrobe Closet. A portable wardrobe closet is usually meant to describe an altogether different piece of furniture, although it is similar in function. A portable wardrobe closet is usually a small, non-wood based portable closet, designed for containing or holding clothes “on the go.” A portable wardrobe closet may have wheels for easy moving or be equipped with handles for the owner to easily grab and move about.

Between the modern day wood wardrobe closet, the antique armoire, and mobile / portable closets, consumer have many different choices for how to best organize and hold their wardrobes with various wardrobe closet furniture.
