A clothes closet is a common household item used to store clothing and accessories. There are several synonyms for the word "clothes closet," including wardrobe, armoire, chifforobe, and clothespress. Wardrobe typically refers to a standalone piece of furniture with doors that open to reveal hanging space, drawers, and shelves. An armoire is similar to a wardrobe, but often has more decorative elements and is used for more formal or luxurious clothing. A chifforobe is a combination of a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, typically used in bedrooms. Finally, a clothespress is a small, enclosed closet or cupboard used for storing clothes and linens.
