White Jewelry Armoire – Keep Your Jewelry in the Perfect Accent Piece For Your Bedroom
A jewelry armoire should not be confused with a jewelry box. A jewelry armoire is a furniture piece as well as being the perfect place to store jewelry. And since it is in open view, it can make a dramatic focal point in any decor. They are a very a welcome addition to your bedroom due to the fact that they are both functional and attractive.
The literal French definition means ‘closet, chest or a place for implements or tools’. The armoire that we know of today began to be first seen in 16th century France. The original armoires were large cabinets with ornate doors which were used for many types of storage. No home was complete without one, and they started to evolve. From their inception as a large cabinet with two doors; they became available in all different sizes depending on what the owner was going to store in them. Not to be out done, the ladies of the French aristocracy demanded a model designed specifically to house their jewelry, and the jewelry armoire was born.
As opposed to a cabinet, the jewelry armoire was made to be elegant and visually pleasing. The first ones were small, ornate cabinets with two doors mounted on four legs. These were both practical and attractive, and their popularity soon spread throughout Europe. Depending on the fashion of furniture at the time, these went from four legs, to three legs, and back to four again. Even back in the days of the earliest genesis of this use for jewelry storage, the white jewelry armoire was one of the most popular colors.
While many jewelry armoires are still designed and built in traditional styles, today you can find many other contemporary options. Still on legs, they can now be square, rectangular and even round. As well as two doors, you can have sliding doors or drawers. The most popular design today is the white jewelry armoire. The usage has changed obviously. These days any expensive jewelry which we own is kept in a safe or safety deposit box. A white jewelry armoire seen in today’s modern bedroom tends to house Costume Jewelry, accessories and make up.
A white jewelry armoire will literally look good in any bedroom. The color will fit in with any decor that you have, you just need to decide on the style. The old square design in still very popular, but other models are gaining in popularity. Round or semi-circular units tend to be on three legs with curved matching doors and drawer fronts. For those with limited floor space, armoires can also be wall mounted. When assembling, just don’t attach the legs. There are many ornate styles available. A popular one is where a lid lifts up and on the inside of the lid is a mirror, and when you open the doors there are drawers behind. This design is ideal if you are intending to use your white jewelry armoire to house your make up or other smaller items.
