How To Choose a Jewelry Armoire
Choosing a Jewelry Armoire isn't like picking out a breakfast cereal. Your jewelry armoire will be an integral part of your decor and will be with you for years. Take the time to think through the following questions when making your decision:
1. The first decision you will need to make is what kind of material do you want your armoire to be made out of. Most jewelry armoires are made out of wood or wood laminate (a thin layer of real wood over pressboard). Oak, cherry, maple, mahogany, and pine are some of the most popular woods and each have different characteristics. Wood jewelry armoires are sturdy, durable, and will last a lifetime (and longer). Painted armoires in many ways look much fancier than a standard wood armoire. Some have gold leaf on them, some have intricate asian designs, and some are just a solid color. You will need to decide what will fit best with the rest of your room decor.
2. Where will your armoire be placed? Are you going to put it in your bedroom near your oak bedroom set? Will it be going in a hallway next to your maple bookcase? In the dining room with the cherry table? Are you planning on putting your Queen Anne Victorian jewelry armoire next to your ultra-modern TV stnad? Matching your jewelry armoire to the rest of your furnishings is key. You don't want one piece of furniture that stands out too much but want it to blend in.
3. How are you going to be using your armoire? If you are going to use it for simply storing your jewelry a standard 6 drawer upright model will suit you fine. If you want it to be a place where you can sit, look in the mirror, and relax on a nice padded chair you might be better off with one of our armoire/vanity combos.
4. How much are you willing to pay for your jewelry armoire? Most jewelry armoires start at around $120. This will get you a standard model like the Oak Cailyn Jewelry Armoire. If you are looking for something a bit more elaborate you might want to check out something in the $250 price range like the Heratige 2-Tier Armoire. Prices go up from there to models like the Wilmington Cherry Jewelry Armoire for around $480
