Classic Armoire

This timeless cherry armoire, inspired by Scottish Arts & Crafts design, features inset tiles, solid joinery, and flexible storage for any room.

Inspired by the Scottish Arts & Crafts movement, this classic armoire blends timeless design with functional storage. Built from cherry plywood and trimmed with solid cherry, the armoire features handsome inset tiles and complementary hardware for a warm, elegant look. Inside, it offers a customizable mix of shelving, hanging space, and two spacious lower drawers—perfect for adapting to any room in your home.

Though traditionally used to store clothing in homes without closets, this freestanding piece works just as well for linens, office supplies, or media gear. The case is constructed using ¾" plywood for strength and stability, with ½" plywood backing for added rigidity. Dado joinery, careful layout, and router work make this a rewarding build for intermediate to advanced woodworkers.
