How to measure the space to fit an armoire in?

Furniture Ferret: Measure both the width and the depth of the space where you'd like to place an armoire. The easiest way is to use a measuring tape. Hold the beginning down at the edge of the area, and let it run to the opposite edge. If the distance is larger than what you can stretch to, ask someone else to assist, or split what you need to measure up into multiple parts. This can be done by either holding the tape down halfway and continuing running it while letting the first end go, or by marking how far you have measured on the floor or wall, and reposition the tape to complete the measurement. If you want to avoid drawing on your floor, you can position a pointy object like a pencil there instead. You should avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't be able to go like electric sockets. Also don't forget to measure how high the space is wherever the ceiling is uneven like in loft rooms.

Questions and answers

How to choose a colour for an armoire?

The two things to consider when it comes to colours is balance and associations. Balance means that the colours in your room should ideally be coordinated, so that it looks like a unit. This can be achieved by using a colour wheel, and going for colours that are either quite close to each other (as colours that are only different in intensity of lightness always go together, but small variations in the actual tone can also be fine), or quite far, like on opposite sides of the wheel (giving you complementary colours like red and green). Associations with and emotions connected to colours are also important to keep in mind. In all likelihood these associations are cultural and learnt, which means that they can be very different for different individuals. Blue is often connected to productivity, but also calmness, stability and even sadness. Green is undoubtedly the colour of nature, and is said to evoke safety, luck and envy (though in other cultures this latter is yellow). Yellow is always a shouty colour and can mean brightness, warmth, attention and energy (likely because of the sun), except when it is dark and becomes brown, when it is thought to be a sign of comfort and relaxation. Red is considered to be the colour of friendship, energy, leadership, desire and revenge - a very wide range of feelings. But it is clear that in nature, it signals danger and importance, so you probably need to put it next to a calm colour to allow the eye to rest. These associations are so different that these guidelines all seem to boil down to just one piece of advice: pause and see what the colour means for you.

Is it possible to find armoires using their width, height and length?

Finding armoires in search engines on the Internet by measurements is difficult as search engines are best at finding text only. Also, when searching for armoires to fit a given space, a bit smaller pieces would also be suitable. Even if some shops allow searching for armoires by measurements, checking many webshops at the same time is time-consuming. Our systems scour many websites on the Internet and index tens of thousands of products to allow you to find the one that is just perfect.

Our philosophy

We want to allow everyone to live comfortably even if they only own a small space they call home. We scan dozens of online shops for thousands of desks, cabinets, shelves, shoe cabinets, beds, armchairs and so on by size and colour, to find just the right one to go in that unused corner and turn it into some closet space, or to find that extra long bed that is still narrow enough to squeeze through the bedroom door. From the kitchen to the living room, don't just live around furniture - choose furniture that lives with you.
