Chiffonier in the bedroom

First of all, let's discuss the question of how the wardrobe differs from the wardrobe. Many people believe that this is a special kind of antique furniture, which is very different from ordinary items. The name chiffonier really has ancient French roots and is like the word "schiffonnier". This was the way the gallant Frenchmen called a cabinet designed exclusively for storing linen, dresses, outer clothing.

Another synonym for this name is the familiar word "wardrobe" ("garderobe"), which also caught on in the Russian dictionary. Therefore, to hang a shirt in a wardrobe or put it in a wardrobe is the same thing. Gradually, people began to consider these words obsolete and they do not sound so often in our speech. But all the same it is necessary to understand that the cupboard in which utensils, books or household appliances are stored is called incorrectly a chiffonier.

Design of modern chiffoniers

Now that we have understood that we are dealing with cabinets designed only for linen, outerwear and various toiletries, you can talk about their design. It is clear that the appearance of the wardrobe and its roominess over time have changed greatly, and the furniture of our grandmothers is very different from what modern designers offer us.

Types of chiffoniers

1. Ordinary chiffonier made of wood , MDF or chipboard . If in the old days only a swinging door structure was used, now the closets are very popular. Such wardrobe with a mirror , built right into the door, has a chic and modern look. In addition, it is quite roomy and replaces several chests or pencil cases.
2. Built-in wardrobe . It is not necessary to buy furniture that stands alone at the wall. You can make yourself or to order an integrated wardrobe, changing the geometry of the room for the better. It is easy to fill with a wide variety of compartments and shelves, hiding all its innumerable wealth inside. The only drawback of the built-in wardrobe - this kind of furniture can not be moved around the room.
3. Corner wardrobe . Using a minimum of space, you can save a bit of useful space with such a wardrobe, and, without seriously weighting the interior, install it anywhere in the room. In some cases, the corner wardrobe installed in the bedroom can even hide the flaws in the layout.
