Bedroom Cupboards For Storing Your Clothes

Dark Alder Bedroom Armoire Wardrobe Closet from the Brookstone Collection; Oak Wardrobe Closet and Storage Organizer from Beginnings

When you hear or see someone refer to a bedroom cupboard, the likelihood is that what they call a bedroom cupboard is what most people think of nowadays as a bedroom wardrobe or closet. There is no right or wrong about this, different English speaking countries use different terminology, and some old former British colonial countries may still refer to bedroom cupboards, while people in modern UK will refer to wardrobes, and in the USA closets.

One thing you can be sure of is that bedroom cupboards are for storage; and what do most people want to store in their bedrooms? Yes, clothes, plus linen; and these days clothes storage means a wardrobe or closet. Whatever you call it, you need furniture to store your clothes, so if searching on the internet for clothes storage it is wise to search all appropriate terms, most particularly wardrobes and closets rather than bedroom cupboards.

Modern closets and wardrobes are very different to the old tallboys and wardrobes of centuries ago, and one of the big differences is in the common use of sliding doors. However, the traditional door opening outwards is still used, and some very fine pieces of furniture are available, and are likely to equate to bedroom cupboards in peoples’ minds. The traditional type of designs are now often combined with modern materials rather than made from just solid oak or other hardwood. For example, the Oak Wardrobe Closet and Storage Organizer from Beginnings has a light oak color, two adjustable shelves and one fixed shelf, as well as a hanging garment rod. This is made from a type of engineered wood, a combination of high quality hardwood, plus softwood materials which are residuals of other timber processes. Bound together by resin, the resultant wood can be used for sturdy furniture. This piece, which is over 70 inches tall, sells for about $190.

If you prefer darker bedroom cupboards then the Dark Alder Bedroom Armoire Wardrobe Closet from the Brookstone Collection may be of interest. It has a similar price to the Oak Wardrobe Closet and Storage Organizer, but is smaller at 57 inches high. It has a dark alder finish, two adjustable shelves behind the doors, plus a drawer with metal runners.
