French Wardrobe Dimensions

 

A wardrobe is an excellent accessory in the bedroom. Its classic and elegant design instantly adds a bit of sophistication to any bedroom in the house. A wardrobe, also called armoire in French, has been around for centuries now and its earliest form was typically made of oak.

Over time, other types of wood were used in making wardrobes. French wardrobe dimensions back in the day were measured based on the “eight small men” standard.

What this means is that a typical size for wardrobes would fit eight small men inside. Today, the modern wardrobe can come in a variety of sizes depending on the number of doors and drawers.

Wardrobe Sizes

A three-door wardrobe with two drawers measures approximately 36 inches in width by 21 inches in depth by 72 inches in height. There is also a two-door wardrobe with three drawers that measures approximately 84 inches in height by 42 inches in width.

If you would like a French armoire with two doors only, without drawers, the typical size for this is somewhere around 215 centimeters in height by 110 centimeters in width by 60 centimeters in depth.
