Armoire

by POPSUGAR Home 2

Though the name is derived from its original purpose — storing arms, as in weapons — an armoire is a large cabinet designed to hold clothing, linens, dining ware, or media and computer equipment. Clothing armoires are probably the most common: The two-doored wardrobes are often used in place of closets and feature drawers, shelves, and a clothes-hanging bar.

Over the years, armoire design has expanded to include other types of storage. Especially popular are computer armoires and cabinets that can conceal TVs and stereo equipment.
