The wardrobe system is a way of storing things in the apartment. This design is a metal frame with modular elements. The advantages of such a storage arrangement are that all components: shelves, drawers, rods, mesh drawers can be easily interchanged, removed and added new ones. There are three types of modules: panel, wireframe and cellular.
Panel - high-quality, but expensive view. In this case, wooden panels are attached to the frame, and the rest of the filling is already attached to them. Such a wardrobe or closet looks stylish and of high quality due to the use of solid material.
The wireframe view is a simplified version. Brackets with shelves, drawers, rods are immediately directly connected to the metal frame.
And the last look is mesh wardrobe systems. In this case, the entire content is attached to the frame, as in the previous version, but the main components are mesh baskets, boxes, shelves, shoe racks and other storage elements. They have many advantages compared to wooden shelves. For example, the space is ventilated, air circulates freely inside. And, besides, the right thing can be found right away, you will see it through the grid.

The benefits of mesh wardrobe systems
The convenience of wardrobe systems is that they are mobile - all elements (shelves, drawers, baskets, rods) can be interchanged, height can be adjusted, and moved. Additional elements can be purchased, and if you need to change the location of the cabinet - disassemble it and move it to fit in a new size. Its design does not deteriorate from this.
With the help of the wardrobe system, a full-fledged room for storing things and changing clothes can be equipped, or it can be part of a wardrobe. And also - to be a collection cabinet, for which you do not need a special place.
Installation is quick and easy. This does not require special tools or professional knowledge. And in the kit are detailed assembly and installation instructions.
The advantages of specifically mesh systems are that they freely allow air to pass through, and so are ventilated. Unlike standard wooden cabinets, the closet will not smell stale items.
And yet, they withstand heavy loads, so that they can easily be used in the garage to store tools. Or large massive sports equipment.
If you combine the various elements of the storage system with each other, it will be possible to fit more things in a closet than fit in an ordinary wooden cabinet with shelves!
What are
Mesh systems for the wardrobe are perhaps the lightest and most compact wardrobe designs of all existing ones. Outwardly, they look like multi-functional metal shelving cabinets. Storage cells in them are mesh metal shelves, baskets and rods, most often attached to a metal base in the form of two or more levels. The base is attached to a wall or a special wood panel. The system is divided into zones for outerwear, shoes and other things.
In a disassembled form, the mesh wardrobe system resembles a designer, and to some extent can amuse the owners of the house if they decide to assemble it with their own hands. Collecting it, you can deviate from the original plan, but we will talk about this a little later.
This is a rare type of wardrobe, however, it is quickly gaining popularity among those who prefer comfort, speed of use and rational filling of living space. If the mesh system is not combined with closed types of systems, then each of its compartment or zone remains completely open, which is also its feature.
Installation is carried out according to a simple scheme: ready-made system modules are purchased, a base (metal strips) with holes for fastening shelves and holders for baskets or hooks is attached to the wall, and then the entire filling is installed. The latter is done in the order in which the designer himself wishes to do it.
The mesh system is installed in niches, in the corners of rooms, or in special frames made of MDF or chipboard. In all cases, such a system can be protected from the main room or be part of the room, it all depends on the interior design or its size. The mesh system in the dressing room with a glass facade looks very impressive.
Mesh wardrobes have their own design features, depending on the functionality of the product and its reliability. Such dressing rooms can be protected from the general space of the room or be completely open. There are main types of mesh wardrobes:
- By the type of design, it is possible to distinguish between systems that are adjacent to the rear wall and whose supporting frames are bursting between the ceiling and the floor, or side walls. The first type is more common and universal, since it is possible to change the arrangement of circuit elements after its final installation. The layout of systems, the main slats of which are mounted on the side walls or burst between the ceiling and the floor, rarely changes after installation. They often use front supports. This scheme looks less aesthetically pleasing first, but it is stronger due to the larger number of supports,
- There are all-metal systems, or combined with other materials. Combined wardrobes have wooden or plastic shelves and drawers. They are easier to fit into a particular interior and combine with various designs. In addition, having closed boxes can facilitate the storage of items or clothing,
- the presence or absence of the facade also divides the dressing room into two types. The choice of doors depends on the size of the room, as well as on the location of the dressing room itself. Doors are installed absolutely any type exclusively for the taste of the designer. Without a facade, the mesh system fits perfectly into any room, forming a convenient linear or corner dressing room.
Advantages and disadvantages
Before choosing the type of wardrobe for your home, be sure to familiarize yourself with its strengths and weaknesses. We will conduct a small analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the mesh system to form a clear opinion.
The following main advantages of such a system are distinguished:
- the openness of the system allows you to speed up the process of choosing clothes - things are in sight,
- most mesh systems have the ability to change configurations after the final installation - moving shelves, hooks, rods, increasing or decreasing compartments. Certain systems can simply be made smaller or add compartments,
- clothes are ventilated due to the absence of continuous storage surfaces. This does not apply to wooden shelves in combined systems,
- ease of installation - installation of a mesh system often does not require special skills - almost everyone who wants to install a rack with their own hands will cope with it. Any cabinet or wardrobe system of a different type can envy the weight of the structure.
- visually mesh dressing room looks light and compact. This property makes the interior more comfortable and pleasant,
- maximum wardrobe space is achieved by skillful installation or subsequent configuration changes. Any compartment or design zone is adapted to a specific type of clothing, so there will be no unused space. This allows you to fully occupy the useful space of the room.
Among the shortcomings, the following points can be distinguished:
- the cost of such a wardrobe is often higher than the cost of others,
- lightness of construction is associated with its fragility. Mesh wardrobes are quite susceptible to high loads, unlike body products,
- open shelving can adversely affect the cleanliness of clothing if a lot of dust enters the house or apartment. If the dressing room is located close to the window, light may get on the clothing and it will fade,
- installation of the system is carried out in the presence of only branded components. Often, the manufacturer produces unique parts, which are almost impossible to replace with third-party analogs, so if you change the design or break it, only branded elements can be replaced or added. Making such parts with your own hands is also almost impossible.
Materials of manufacture
Before purchasing a mesh wardrobe, you need to familiarize yourself with the materials from which they are made. The main canvases are steel and aluminum:
- steel is a cheap and affordable material. It is most often used in the manufacture of wardrobes of this type. Steel parts are treated with multifunctional epoxy powder paints, which gives them a pleasant appearance. In addition, this coating perfectly protects parts of the dressing room from corrosion. This material is not harmful to the human body. However, not all manufacturers use high-quality coatings, which can lead to corrosion of steel. If moisture gets on the surface of the part without coating, then rust will form there, so things run the risk of being damaged. Steel has the property of preserving the strength of the product even if a break or crack has formed in it. Simply put, if some of the parts of the system cracked, but did not break completely, then it can last a long time,
- aluminum systems are much more expensive than steel systems, but their advantages are worth it. Firstly, aluminum is very light. The aluminum system will be easier to install and operate. Secondly, aluminum parts are usually better fitted than any other because of the physical properties of the material. Aluminum does not require painting, because it is not afraid of corrosion. This will help to be sure of the safety of things. Aluminum systems are less common than steel, so in the assortment they are inferior to the second. In addition, aluminum does not have the property of maintaining the integrity of the part when it breaks, like steel,
- wood and plastic are used in the manufacture of shelves and drawers if the mesh system is combined. Wooden elements are more common than plastic and easier to process. Plastic looks more harmonious with the mesh system, and is perfect for modern and high-tech interiors.
How to choose
Choosing a wardrobe of mesh type is based on your personal preferences, interior design and the free space of the room. Compliance with all these criteria will help to create a convenient and functional place to store a lot of things and clothes.
Based on where the main frame of the system will be mounted, either a suspension or support structure is selected. The first is hung on the wall, the second is installed on the floor and rests on the ceiling or wall. The supporting structure is more resilient than the suspended one, and if the “maximum” use of the system is planned, then it is ideal for this task.
It is also necessary to determine the location of the wardrobe. If it is a corner, then you should look towards the corner structures, and if it is a wall, you need to choose a linear one. You need to pay attention to whether the space reserved for the dressing room will further increase or decrease. It depends on whether you need to purchase a system with the ability to change its size after installation. In the niche, you can equip a parallel dressing room with racks opposite each other, it can also be done in a long corridor. Therefore, it is worth looking in the direction of shallow systems, so that there is enough space between the structures.
If interior design requires it, you can install a combined system. This makes sense when it comes to an open type wardrobe room that does not have a facade.
When you purchase a kit, be sure to pay attention to the documentation confirming the quality of the product. It is advisable to give preference to more famous and common manufacturers, who can offer a wide range of additional elements for the wardrobe. This is useful when you decide to change the design. Indeed, it is very difficult to find unique components if the original manufacturer does not have them.
Varieties
Mesh wardrobe systems differ in the type of fastening, combination of modules, materials, as well as the presence of the facade. When assembling the structure, there are 2 options for its installation:
- Mounting to the rear wall. This method is more common because of the possibility of changing the arrangement of elements and their replacement.
- Spacer installation. With this method, the frame of the structure is mounted on the side walls or bursts between them or the ceiling and floor.Such a system does not look so aesthetically pleasing, but has increased stability due to the greater number of fasteners and supports.
When combining materials, modules, you can make an open or closed dressing room with wooden, metal or plastic shelves and drawers. The first ones are well ventilated, and the second ones do not allow dust to get on clothes. You can also make a dressing room with a facade for a unique interior or to create a separate room for clothes. Doors should be selected according to the dimensions of the room, take into account the location of the cabinet.
Basic structural elements
The basic elements that are used to create the mesh wardrobe can be found in the construction departments. Features of their application are presented in the table. Mesh wardrobe system can be made both from separate parts, or be a fully finished option with a fixed set of parts and components.
The main structural element that is attached to the wall with dowels. It has mounting holes for system elements.
When installing the spacer system, the rack is the main load-bearing element that is attached to the ceiling, floor or wall. It can also be combined with a rail.
This element is installed in special grooves in racks or rails. Shelves, baskets, drawers and other elements of the dressing room are attached to it.
There are 2 varieties: static and retractable. The first is a simple mesh box. The second looks similar, but has a design on a sliding guide. This greatly simplifies the operation of the type of furniture. Also, such a mechanism does not need lubrication. Both varieties are attached to the side walls or to a metal base. Also have differences in depth, size.
It looks like an ordinary basket, but is attached to shelves and axles with special grips. This design can move left and right, if such a possibility is provided on a carrier basis.
Shoe organizer
Mesh tilted shelves are used for dressing rooms and are fixed statically or on a retractable basis. They are used to store shoes that need to be cleaned beforehand, as dirt can crumble onto the lower shelves.
The fixed element for the dressing room is presented in the form of a mesh platform for things. This part is attached to the side walls, rails, as well as using racks.
An analogue of a mesh retractable basket, but made of wood or plastic, is most often used in closed wardrobes.
An optional element in the form of a facade is used as a design solution to give a certain style to the wardrobe. It is also used in enclosed structures to separate things from the rest of the room.
Do-it-yourself wardrobe varies in the number of modules used. It can consist not only of the main parts, but also of those that are not provided for by the design of the mechanisms.

Useful tips for choosing
Do-it-yourself mesh wardrobe systems are made simply, at a cost they will come out cheaper than turnkey solutions. Equipped models save time on creating design designs, but limit the modularity of furniture. When choosing parts or ready-made options, you should consider the size of the room, its style. In any system there will be shelves, a bar, racks.
It is required to control the filling of shelves and drawers. Exceeding the permissible weight can lead to breakage of the structure or deformation of its separate part.
With a large number and variety of things, it is recommended to abandon furniture, which does not allow expansion. You should also consider how strong the walls are in the room in which the dressing room will be installed. If they are made of brittle substances, it is recommended to make spacer views between the floor and the ceiling or to take lightweight aluminum structures.
