This is the
ultimate space saver. The clients have an
extensive collection of sweaters, and a bedroom
that is too small for a number of dressers. They
wanted a piece that would be a focal point for
the room and add drama and artistry to a loosely
matched collection of bedroom pieces. We settled
on an amoire.
We visited their home, took
photographs of existing furniture, and made
sketches of the space where the amoire would be
located. To best accommodate the existing decor
and fit the space availabe, the piece is made of
oak with a golden oak stain, and measures 30”w x
60”h x 24”d. It has two self-closing, raised
panel doors that conceal two adjustable shelves
for maximum storage. It also features a single
large drawer with traditional dovetail joinery
for change of season clothing. The clients
selected the hardware.
Because the amoire
is vertical in design, it offers the storage
space of two dressers, while setting a tone for
the entire room. It’s the first thing you see
when you enter the bedroom.
