Give your Armoire a New Life

It use to be that armoires were the perfect spot to hide the TV, but then along came the flat screen. When flat screen tv’s hit the market, armoires were finding their way out. Today, fewer armoires are being made by furniture manufacturers, but their versatility and practicality is still something to admire.

I love to see armoires turned into creative design statement… turned into gorgeous display cabinets, stunning bar units & functional craft and hobby storage.

If you have an armoire or two sitting around your house like I do, why not give it a new life. Here’s a bit of inspiration to get you going.

{love how the upper part of this armoire is used to creatively display serving pieces–and painting the back makes it even more fun!}

{try adding a mirror to the back of your armoire cabinet and turning the entire space into a custom bar}

{such a stylish addition to any bathroom–remove the door and use the shelves to hold practical items and a few pretty things too!}

{love the idea of using an armoire as a bookshelf alternative–a dark background makes allows all the accessories to stand out}

{what a creative storage option for holding all your baking supplies–love the wallpaper back board}

{oh so chic! an armoire to hold all my shoes–love it!}

{another stunning bar armoire–change out the door hinges to piano hinges so they will fold all the way back}

{terrific idea for a creative space}

{a lovely addition to a dining room–love the pop of color used on the inside of the cabinet. AND, those chairs are pretty stunning too!}

So, have you done something creative with an armoire? I’d love to see just how creative you are all. Send photos to shelly.confettistyle@gmail.com.
