Wardrobe is a type of storage furniture that is primarily used for storing clothing. It is usually a tall upright cabinet with hanging rods, shelves, and drawers inside for hanging clothes, folded clothes, and other personal items. Armoire is a vertical storage cabinet originating from France. It was originally used to store weapons and armor, and later gradually evolved into a piece of furniture for storing clothing and other items.

For small families, a wardrobe depth of 18 to 20 inches is very common, especially in smaller bedrooms or compact corridors. Although this depth does not provide as much hanging space as a standard 24-inch wardrobe, it can still store thin clothes such as T-shirts and shirts well.
