Even though it seems as though the size of the computer is rapidly becoming inversely proportional to the tasks it can handle, most people are faced with the dilemma of just where to put their computers. The tangled mass of wires and chords is unsightly and can detract from the sense of harmony and order that most of us strive for at home. Computer armoires are constructed to organize that mass of wires, as well as provide a place for the tower, monitor, and keyboard.
Features
Perhaps the best thing about choosing a computer armoire over a traditional desk is that you can close it all up at the end of the day and save the space. All computer armoires feature a sliding keyboard tray that can save about 2 feet of room space. Armoires can also eliminate the need for extra furniture like filing cabinets and bookcases, too. Often, these contemporary and utilitarian storage spaces include enough room to handle bills, files, and dictionaries.
Sizes and styles
Computer armoires come in a variety of sizes and styles allowing you to "close up shop" and relax without that reminder of work on display for company. Corner computer armoires are a nice solution if you have a small room. These space-efficient cabinets nestle into a corner and provide depth of storage without compromising room space. If adding a computer armoire to a room sounds like a big commitment, rest assured that there are smaller armoires available. When closed up, the smaller versions look like mid-sized credenza cabinets.
Finishes
The whole point of a computer armoire is to integrate your electronics into your home, but what about integrating your computer armoire into furniture? Options are available. You don't have to ruin your mission-style bungalow with a beechwood armoire. French country? No problem. Try a distressed finish. Computer armoires are available in just about as many styles as there are out there.
