Even if you don't have a huge amount of jewelry to store away, you may still be able to make use of a large armoire. Since many of these items can be very large, often a lot of jewelry is required in order to fill them. Here are some of the things you should consider before you commit to buying an expensive piece of furniture.
Choosing a color for your armoire isn't always easy. Most of the time, the item will live in your bedroom, so consider the décor which is currently in the room. If most of your bedroom is a certain type of wood, it's a good idea to continue this and buy furniture in the same shade for the rest of the room. In order to select the correct color, take a picture of the furniture already in your bedroom and ask the sales assistant to match it for you.
For plain bedrooms, you can often get away with an armoire with intricate and detailed designs, but be careful that you're not looking at furniture which could clash with the room. If you already have a lot of color and detail in you bedroom, it's best to avoid any further designs and choose something more plain.
Before you make a decision, think about the different features which are available for inclusion in a jewelry armoire. Many of these items come with a mirror and dressing table feature, which is ideal for storing all your things and accessing them easily while you are getting dressed. Research armoires to find the different styles which are available and write down the features you would like to have. Some of them look like a full-length mirror but then open up so that you have some storage space for your jewelry. Always ask whether it is possible to add stand alone items onto the armoire if you have a specific design or style in mind that you are trying to achieve.
Apart from measuring your bedroom to work out how much space it will take up and whether you have enough room for put it, you should always measure the required height that you need, particularly if you are going to be sitting at a dressing table and getting ready. If you have a chair already to include with it, the armoire will need to be a suitable height so that you can still sit down and feel comfortable. Ask somebody to help you with a measuring tape so the measurements are as accurate as possible.
Brand new items aren't the only options – in fact there are lots of second-hand treasures to be found. By looking in antique and vintage shops and also online and in thrift stores, you can find many bargains which might be just what you're looking for. Since many large jewelry armoires are vintage or antique items anyway, you may struggle to find the exact look you want if purchasing brand new. However, when buying second-hand, take extra care to examine the piece's construction and hardware. Large jewelry armoires tend to be heavy, so you want to make sure they're not wobbly or in poor condition.
