armoires

Tall bedroom furniture

Armoires are large, freestanding wardrobes or cabinets, typically with doors that open to reveal space for hanging clothes or storing linens.

The word comes from French and retains a slightly formal or antique connotation—you're more likely to find an armoire in a bedroom with traditional décor than in a modern apartment: The oak armoire dominated one wall of the guest room.
