quicko: cupboards
What would you call this? A wardrobe, I'd answer in American. Slightly murky territory, though, is what I'd call it down under. Though you find cupboards in kitchen, they also pop up in rather unexpected places, like bedrooms. The lines between cupboards, wardrobes and closets are rather hazy in Australia, actually. I'm not entirely sure the Australians have shared their definitions clearly even amongst themselves.

I'd say armoire. Wardrobe sounds like it's got a UK influence. I'm going to go french so it's fancier!

Another term, when it is a piece of furniture, like the one pictured, is armoire. It could also be called a large cabinet.
I like how you've sorted your clothes by color. And I am not surprised to see the preponderance of pink and teal, as well as the classic feather boa.
That is a wardrobe in my books!
