Cupboard

n. closet, cabinet (with shelves)

A cupboard is a type of cabinet, often made of wood, used indoors to store household objects such as food and crockery, and protect them from dust and dirt.As the name suggests, this piece of furniture was originally a simple board or table on which to place cups or mugs - recorded use of such a name dates back to at least the Middle Ages. For the last few centuries, "cupboard" has referred to a storage area enclosed by doors.An airing cupboard is a domestic room more usually resembling a wardrobe in size and proportion, although sometimes large enough to be considered a small room, and which houses the boiler in a central heating installation. Shelves (usually slatted to allow for circulation of heat) are positioned above the boiler to provide storage for clothing, typically linen and towelling. The purpose is to prevent damp rather than to dry wet clothing. It may also be called simply a 'boiler cupboard' and by certain regional names. In Ireland, for example, a common term is hot press, see the article there.
