Depends. On the style of the armoire and the style of the living room. It could work. Especially in a larger room. However if you are just "trying to find a place for it" perhaps it would be better to sell it.

(I have no full length mirrors in my house. I don't think that is at all sad. ;-))

I have an unmirrored armoire in my lev get room to house board games, Legos and puzzles. I think the mirrored ones look fine in these rooms. I say give it a try.

I have a 15 yr old rustic pine tv armoire I can't seem to let go of even after getting a flat screen that wont fit in it. I currently use it in my LR to house the printer and extra storage for water bottles and papertowels.

It's traditionally used for storage in a bedroom, and mine is in the guest bedroom. It's British colonial style which I think is rather cool, but it's not something I would put in a living room. However, a lot depends on the size of the living room and its style, and the style of the armoire. Alas, I'm another one who does not have a full-length mirror in the house.

I don't think there is any reason an armoire needs to be confined to the bedroom. I had one for over 30 years and during that time depending on where we were living it was in the dining room storing table lines, the bedroom storing clothing, and the living room storing Christmas decorations. It looked great everyplace it lived; now my daughter has it in her hallway as her coat closet.

Thanks all! I'm also relieved to hear that I'm not weird for missing a large mirror. I DO have a TV armoire currently in my dining room full of board games and the printer; I should find a new place for that to avoid armoire overload as the rooms are open to each other.

It's not one of those super frilly French types, but the mirrors do add to the bedroom feel. I'll have to move some stuff out of the way to get a photo. I did find an old dusty photo of the top of it that should give a good idea as to the style (and height relative to my 8 ft ceilings). The lower part is pretty predictable. :)

Possibilities!

[Here's a Houzz article on the topic[(https://www.houzz.com/magazine/decorating-with-antiques-armoires-the-versatile-beauties-stsetivw-vs~26670608).

I am 'all for' an antique armoire in any space where there is the necessity, mirror or not. I have my large French armoire in my MB and it houses the tv, as well as holding books, and a small collection of 'whiteware', if there is such a thing. It was used in the LR in my last home for the same purpose. It's a beautiful piece and the LR seemed like the perfect place. I never thought twice about using it for the tv.
