How To Choose A Kids Armoire

Have you already got other pieces of furniture in there or are you buying everything in one go? Either way, make sure you determine the décor style and color palette of their room first if you want it to look cohesive.

• A traditional rectangular wooden armoire with one or two doors is perfect for a classic look;

• For a fairy tale-like feel, choose the first type but look for ornate shapes and decorations on its roof;

• Light woods such as pine and maple add a natural feel and can help make the room look airy and spacious; darker woods like mahogany or walnut are more adequate if you're striving for a grandiose look;

• Mirrors on the doors can also help make the room feel bigger than it is. However, mirrors are a questionable addition to a kids room. If you have rambunctious, quarrelsome twins who tumble on the floor and „walk on walls", think twice.

• Brighter color schemes give their bedroom a modern feel and might make it more appealing to your kids: why not choose their favorite color?

Don't forget that your kids will be playing in this room, so you need your wardrobe to help make it into a safe space, not more dangerous! 

• Check if the armoire comes with an anti-tip kit, especially if it's got traditional hinged doors;

• Avoid sharp corners or decorations;

• Avoid mirrors if your kids are still very young.
