Armoire

What Is an Armoire?
An armoire is a large, freestanding wardrobe or cabinet traditionally used for storing clothing. Originating in France, the armoire has evolved into a versatile piece of furniture, perfect for stylish storage in bedrooms, hallways, or even living spaces. Its elegant design often features carved woodwork, panelled doors, and ornate hardware, making it both functional and decorative.
