Never Mistake Simple for Plain: Pine Country Wardrobes
Farmhouse, or country-style, wardrobes remain sought-after because their rustic style fits in with almost any type of decor. Whether you want the simplest one-door wardrobe or an elaborate sliding door cupboard, a pine country armoire adds warmth to a kitchen, bedroom, or even hallway.
Do pine country wardrobes combine style and substance?Yes! Wardrobes aren't solely plain and functional: features like doors, shelving, mirrors, and drawers can all function as decorative pieces, adding to the armoire's personality. In turn, that makes each pine country wardrobe contribute differently to the atmosphere of the room it's in. Some have custom paint jobs, while others are more utilitarian, but manufacturers and artisans alike are constantly inventing ways to make useful amenities visually appealing.
- Mirrors on doors or panels can open up a room, making it appear larger and also brighten it.
- Sliding door wardrobes provide aesthetic appeal without needing to fully open a door in smaller spaces.
- The number of doors can define a wardrobe's style; pine country wardrobes often have two doors, but you can find ones with as many as six doors of varying sizes.
- Drawers can be on the inside, on the outside, or even hidden! In single-door wardrobes, you may see a column of drawers on the opposite half
Pine country wardrobes allow you to bring back the simplistic and cozy style of rural living. Not limited by the bounds of the bedroom, different wardrobe designs make such armoires great for any space in the home. The variety of styles you'll find include:
- Hinged door wardrobes
- Sliding door wardrobes
- Corner wardrobes, a smaller country wardrobe that is intended to fit neatly along one wall of a corner space.
- Nursery wardrobes, which may have more drawers than more traditional country wardrobes.
- Dining room armoires, intended for showing off china or other decor.
- Bedroom wardrobes, whose focus is on the efficient utilization of space.
- Triple wardrobe, which frequently features two hanging compartments, one compartment for shelves, and at least one set of drawers.
Country and cottage wardrobes often stand out from other furniture because of their neutral or natural colors, in contrast to modern design schemes. Frequently, armoire manufacturers preserve the original colour of the wood with which they were made, but that's not always the case. Wardrobes can differ thanks to:
- Finishes - veneer, varnish, gloss, wax
- Painted wardrobes - black, white, mocha, pastel blue, pink, cream, grey, or scraped turquoise
- Stains - staining pine can darken it to look older or create an antique appearance; sometimes, you will see pine stained to look like hardwoods such as oak, cedar, cherry, walnut, or mahogany.
- Shaker style - with no veneers or wood inlays
