By going online, a shopper can usually locate a portable wardrobe. By shopping online, someone who wants to buy a bonnetiere can normally find an attractive, wardrobe storage unit, and one with the desired window. Still, not every type of wardrobe furniture can be found by sitting at a computer and using a search engine. Such a search might “come up empty,” if meant to reveal information on a mirror wardrobe.

By the same token, a search for a corner wardrobe could fail to produce results. Pictures of the mirror wardrobe are difficult to find online. Still, some of the other wardrobes could easily serve as an alternative to a mirror wardrobe. A mirror could be placed on the door of such a storage unit.

A wardrobe does not have to come with a mirror, in order to perform its intended function. Furniture units called “wardrobes” are designed to aid the storage of clothing, especially clothes that wrinkle easily. When a room contains a wardrobe, those clothes can hang in that same piece of furniture, rather than lying, folded in a dresser drawer.

Today, clothes often hang in a bedroom closet. Yet a wardrobe has certain features that are not found in a closet. For example, an armoire, unlike a closet, can be moved from one location to another. Furthermore, a closet does not have a window in its door. One type of armoire does have a window, one that reveals the contents of that storage unit.

Of course, a satisfactory form of storage does not need to have a window. Efficient storage of clothing does not require the availability of a mirror. Therefore, an online shopper should not rule out the possibility of conducting an examination of the various alternatives to the mirror wardrobe. Those alternatives offer the same durability and the same attractive features that are found in any quality wardrobe.

Unlike a closet, some wardrobes can be moved from room to room. That particular type of wardrobe furniture is called a portable wardrobe. Unlike a closet, some wardrobes come with a “window” on their door. The bonnetiere . . . → Read More: Using Wardrobe Furniture As a Versatile Piece of Decorating Art]]> Wardrobe furniture was created to solve a problem. A number of fabrics form wrinkles, whenever they are folded. Therefore any clothing made from such fabrics should not be folded and stored in a drawer. Such clothing should be hung in a closet or wardrobe. While both a closet and wardrobe solve the same problem, those two solutions have a couple different features.

Unlike a closet, some wardrobes can be moved from room to room. That particular type of wardrobe furniture is called a portable wardrobe. Unlike a closet, some wardrobes come with a “window” on their door. The bonnetiere is such a wardrobe.

Like closet space, a wardrobe can be designed to fit in a corner. When a piece of wardrobe furniture occupies a corner it is called a corner wardrobe. Like closet space, something that furnishes a room with wardrobe storage space can be provided with a mirror. The reflection coming from a mirror wardrobe can serve to emphasize the beauty of the furniture in a room.

The original wardrobes had an important place in any bedroom. Those early wardrobes provided a bedroom with hanging space for clothing. The users of the first wardrobe furniture lived in homes that lacked closet space. Those early wardrobes reflected the accepted furniture design of the period, the period of time when they were created.

Today, not all wardrobes have that same ornate design. At the present time, one can find updated, more modern looking wardrobes. At www.cb2.com, an online shopper can find a wall mounted wardrobe. At www.westelm.com, one can locate and order a wooden wardrobe that sits on gunmetal legs. At the website that offers PotteryBarn furniture, one can find a wardrobe with a more traditional look. By entering “Belvedere armoire” or “Ashby Collection” into the proper space, an Internet user can call up the desired web page and learn more about wardrobe furniture.

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 . . . → Read More: Furniture That Goes with a Portable Wardrobe]]> 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.
