When it comes to choosing a wardrobe system for storing things, you should consider not only standard wooden options. A modern fabric wardrobe is a new word in the furniture industry. Its colors and models allow you to choose the best option for the home. To make a competent choice, you should understand in more detail in the form and materials of model manufacturing.

Advantages and disadvantages

Properly organized storage of clothes at home is the key to saving space. Today, along with traditional chipboard products and sliding wardrobes, there is a novelty in the furniture world. Cloth closet is designed to store clothes and shoes. Its frame is made of metal, and the body is stretched from fabric to the prepared base.

The owners of such a product distinguish the following advantages:

• lightness and maneuverability - even a tiny lady can move fabric wardrobes to another corner of the room;
• the models are made of folding type, which means that when moving it will not be difficult to take the product with you;
• internal filling can be completed with other elements, thereby providing a rationally organized storage location;
• the cover for the body is machine washable in certain programs;
• products have an affordable price and are represented by the lines of many furniture manufacturing companies;
• models are intended not only for storing clothes, but shoes and accessories;
• the product can be really restored: broken parts are easily replaced with new ones, and torn textiles are sutured;
• even a person who has never had experience in assembling such products can assemble a cabinet.

Components for models usually contain instructions that will help you navigate the installation of a fabric product. Cabinets of this sample are not without negative aspects in operation. One of the significant disadvantages is the low strength of the device. If in a wooden cabinet you can put a lot of clothes and not worry about the load, then here you need to track weight indicators.

Textile wardrobes are difficult to clean: they cannot be wiped with a wet cloth, as is the case with wooden furniture. The best way to clean is to remove and wash the cover.

Products of this type are ideal for people who are constantly changing their place of residence. Transportation of the cabinet will not take much effort and space, and its capacity will become a lifesaver in a temporary apartment.

Varieties

In order to highlight the main types of fabric cabinets, first you need to understand their design. The standard fabric storage model consists of metal tubes that are assembled into a single product. Between themselves, the parts are connected using the fasteners included in the kit. After mounting on the frame, a fabric cover is attached, which has fasteners.The last thing that is regulated is the rubber feet that protect the floor from scratching.

Modern fabric cabinets can be classified according to the opening method. The locks of all products work with lightning, however, the type of its opening can be different:

• upper type - to open such a cabinet, you must first unzip. It is located along the entire upper perimeter of the product and is connected in its center. In order to get a thing from the wardrobe - they open the zipper from a certain side, after which the fabric sash goes sideways;
• bottom opening option. Lightning in such a product is located around the entire perimeter of the cabinet, except for the top line - it is solid. The fabric in this model, after opening, is rolled up and neatly fastened to the upper bar of the cabinet.

Top type

Bottom type

There is another type of model - an open storage cabinet. It has no fasteners and locks, its shelves are open. The disadvantage of this option is the constant settling of dust on clothing.

Modern products from fabric for clothes can be divided by the number of sections. They are:

• single section;
• two sections.

The first type is the simplest model of this piece of furniture. Its internal filling implies the presence of one large department for clothes, as well as lower and upper shelves for shoes and accessories. Often such folding models open from the bottom up.

The option, consisting of two sections, is divided into 2 departments inside: the first one contains a large number of shelves, the second - free space for shirts and blouses on the shoulders. Such cabinets open from top to bottom. Open-type models are usually represented by shelving. Here clothes will fit only when folded, because there is no place for a coat hanger. But there is a large number of shelves.

Materials of manufacture

Modern manufacturers offer a wide range of clothing storage products. They differ not only in the method of opening, but also in the materials of manufacture. As part of a compact suitcase, which is taken from the store, there are such details:

• frame - traditionally this element for cabinet assembly is made of metal pipes. Such material is much more reliable than the rest, so the product has increased strength. Some manufacturers reduce the cost of models and offer plastic parts instead of metal. It is worth noting that when storing clothes in a plastic product, difficulties can withstand the load;
• fasteners - fasteners are used to fasten the frame parts together. Often they are made of plastic, but there are models where metal fasteners are provided. In the second case, the mount will be more stable;
• case - most often a folding cabinet has a case made of polyester. This choice is due to the fact that this fabric has many advantages. It is strong, durable, easy to care for, is not exposed to acids and does not fade. In addition, it does not wear out, dries quickly after washing, practically does not absorb moisture, and is also resistant to pollution;
• legs - this element of a fabric wardrobe is often made of steel. The lower plane of the legs is framed in rubber seals, which prevent slipping and damage to the floor covering. Sometimes, instead of legs, manufacturers equip the cabinets with mobile wheels, which allow transporting the cabinet to another room in the house.

Polyester does not allow air to pass through well, so it is advisable to periodically open the cabinet if it is not used for a long time. This will help avoid the accumulation of bad smell.

Scheme

Shape and size

Traditionally, manufacturers make rectangular rectangular fabric cabinets, which is more convenient. A difference in models may be present in the form of a zipper arrangement:

• in the center of the product;
• on different wings;
• two zippers in the middle of the model.

The central location of lightning is most common. She visually divides the cabinet in half.When opening, the piece of furniture is divided into 2 parts - in one there are shelves, in the other space for the coat hanger.

A feature of the cabinets, where several lightnings are located at once, is that the owner easily opens the sash he needs. In this case, only one part of the cabinet is exposed, the other remains untouched. This is convenient for accessing a specific section.If the product has 2 zippers in the center, then it has a top opening type. Both fasteners help to gain extensive access to the cabinet, after which the polyester fastens on top of the product.

The dimensional grid of the fabric cabinet contains a standard height of 160 cm. Sometimes this figure changes up or down by 10 cm. It is this height that is convenient for the operation of the model and its stability. If the wardrobe was taller, it was unacceptable to place a large number of clothes in it.

The width of the models varies from 60 to 120 cm, depending on the number of sections of the model. Wide options are suitable for families from 2 people, narrow cabinets are optimal for one person. The depth of the models is 40-60 cm - this is precisely such an indicator that will accommodate a large number of things. Products with less depth are intended for storing shoes.

Rules for selection and placement

Cloth closet is represented by a wide variety in stores. In order not to make a mistake in choosing, follow the following tips of users who have already purchased the model:

• choose designs from metal pipes: plastic may not withstand the load;
• connecting elements must be reinforced - do not buy low-quality plastic;
• A sufficient number of shelves should go to store clothes in the configuration;
• pay attention to the coating of metal folding pipes: some manufacturers paint them, others cover with a film;
• when buying, it is worth checking the quality of seams and fasteners: all fabric elements should not have cuts;
• in cheap models, the prefabricated design often does not match the size of the stitched cover, so you should measure it yourself;
• the legs must be covered with a protective coating and not scratch the floor.

Pay special attention to the colors of the cabinet: the collapsible version of the furniture should be of a universal color, because its main function is to combine with any interior.You can install a fabric wardrobe for clothes on your own at any suitable place. The main thing is to provide a free approach and access to the internal space. Such products fit perfectly into empty niches and unoccupied corners. The average load on the model is from 30 to 50 kg, so you can place inside not only clothes, but also shoes with hats.
