Types of Armoire Furniture for the Home

By Candy Whitfield


If you're looking for one piece of furniture that offers practicality and style, you can't go wrong by choosing a furniture armoire. In fact, this type of furniture has been popular for several hundred years and was first popularized in ancient France. Wealthy aristocracts used this piece of furniture in their bedroom to store bedding and personal items. Today, this design has evolved and is used in many different rooms of the home throughout different parts of the world.

Armoires for the bedroom were first built from solid oak and talented artisans carved ornate decorations on many of these fine pieces. In time, they began to be made from other materials when oak became more scarce from overuse as a building material. The use of lesser costly woods and materials made it possible for people of modest means to purchase and use these versatile pieces of furniture.

This type of furniture continued to evolve and other designs emerged, such as the jewelry cabinet. Many people have used jewelry cabinets for centuries to store their valuables and to protect their personal items. These pieces of furniture are smaller than traditional units for the bedroom and are very practical and functional.

With the advancement of technology, other kinds of furniture such as computer and tv armoires were developed in the late 20th century. They were practical furniture pieces that could store tv screens, computer screens, computer towers, printers, DVD players and other digital accessories. They now offer a variety of shelves and compartments to store a lot of related equipment and accessories.

Choosing a fine armoire for any purpose can be one of the better furniture investments you make for your home, since a quality unit can hold its value over time. They can also often be used for a variety of purposes, which makes them flexible and easy to use, whether in the bedroom, den or other room in the house.
