White Armoires & Chests

An armoire can be used to store almost anything you want, as long as it fits. Although most people use their armoires for extra clothing storage, they can keep everything from spare linens to seasonal decor to office supplies to toiletries. Some people even use an armoire in their kitchen as a stand-alone pantry for storing snacks or dry goods.

Because armoires come in multiple configurations, including drawers, cabinets, and cubbies, they’re incredibly flexible. This makes them an ideal storage solution for anything you want to keep organized and out of sight.

Armoires are timeless furniture pieces that can accommodate many aesthetics. They work with everything from a sleek, modern minimalist style to cozy farmhouse chic. Although they may not fit in every room due to the space they take up, for homes with less built-in storage, they’re an ideal option because of how much they can hold.

There are plenty of ways to style an armoire, as well. Add decorative items on top, such as family photos or a nice table lamp. If your armoire is in the bedroom or bathroom, you might like an ornamental mirror on top in the style of a vanity. Or you can simply choose a unique style that stands on its own and make it the centerpiece of your design.

White is a neutral color, meaning it matches almost any color scheme. However, some aesthetics work especially well with white furniture. A white armoire is beautifully striking with a black-and-white minimalist aesthetic, for example. In a bohemian or art deco home, a white armoire could provide some blank space for creating visual rest that makes it easy to accessorize. Because armoires have been used throughout history, they also go nicely with classic or traditional aesthetics.
