Amish Furniture Feature: Chifferobe
A chifferobe has drawers, cabinets, and a wardrobe area for hanging your clothes all in one piece of attractive furniture. The term comes from the French word for a small piece of furniture that has doors on the front, chiffonier, and the word wardrobe, a place in which to hang your clothing. Put together, the chifferobe is the perfect clothing storage unit for any size bedroom.
Most chifferobes are divided up into three useful areas. One side will house several large drawers where you can organize your socks, belts, undergarments, shirts, or other clothing items you want to keep organized. Above the drawers is a cabinet that opens up to reveal several adjustable shelves where you can organize and easily access pants, shirts, or sweaters. The other side has a full-length door that opens up to a closet area where you can hang your dresses, skirts, suits, slacks, or other clothes you want to keep from wrinkling by hanging them instead.
Chifferobes are a great choice for your expanding wardrobe and can offer plenty of extra storage space without having to enlarge your existing closet area. You can also use a chifferobe in homes and apartments that have smaller than expected closet space or no closets at all. They are particularly useful in loft apartments where storage space might be limited or nonexistent.
