Designing closets in Mozaik means building modular, 32mm shared-panel sections, floor-standing or wall-hung, then setting the base, the boring method, the hardware, and the interiors for each job. You can configure all of it natively, or start from the PAC Mozaik Closet Library by Phill Anton Consulting, a drag-and-drop Mozaik 14 library that ships these decisions pre-built, so a cabinetmaker can draft a full closet in minutes instead of hours.
How do you design a closet in Mozaik?
Work top-down, the same order a shop builds it:
- Set modular sizing and construction. Choose your section widths and heights on the 32mm system and your construction method (shared panel, half overlay). See Modular sizing and the 32mm system.
- Choose floor-standing or wall-hung. This drives the base and how the run carries weight. See Floor standing vs wall hanging closets.
- Set the base. Toe height, toe recess, and either a continuous toe or a ledger board (covered below).
- Pick the boring method. Line bore (adjustable, system holes) or custom bore. See Line bore vs custom bore.
- Drop in interiors. Shelves, drawers, cubbies, angled shoe shelves, and rods (covered below).
- Select hardware. Drawer guides, shelf pins, connectors, accessories. See Hardware and accessories for Mozaik closets.
- Lay out the room and price it. Corners, islands, a full walk-in, then the pricing and report output.
What construction should you use for Mozaik closets?
The cabinetmaker standard is a 32mm shared panel with half overlay and full line boring — fully adjustable, fast to assemble, and shop-friendly. The PAC Mozaik Closet Library is built exactly this way, using exposed CAM connectors (Titus 6 or Rafix 20), and it can switch to custom boring when a job calls for it. If you prefer mechanical CAM assembly, the library supports that too. See CAM construction in the PAC Closet Library and switching the library to custom boring.
How do you set the base: toe height, recess, and continuous toe?
The base is parametric in Mozaik. Set toe height with ToeH, the toe recess (setback) separately, and use a continuous toe to run one clean toe under a whole bank instead of scribing each cabinet. When the run hangs off a wall, a ledger board carries it.
What interiors can you build into a Mozaik closet?
Everything the homeowner sees lives inside the sections — and most of it should be adjustable, not fixed, so you use fewer fasteners and the closet stays flexible.
- Cubbies — a fixed shelf, vertical multi-splits, and adjustable line-bored shelves. Building cubbies.
- Angled shoe shelves and inserts — drop-in shoe storage. Angled shoe shelves and inserts.
- Drawers — inset fronts, guide length, and box material: Inset drawer fronts, keeping 15-inch drawer guides, choosing drawer guides, and metal vs wood drawer boxes.
- Backs — insert vs wall liner. Full back setup: insert vs wall liner.
How do you lay out and draft a full closet?
Once sections are dialed in, you compose the room — corners, islands, and adjustments — then output pricing and shop drawings.
- A full walk-in, start to finish. Drafting a walk-in closet.
- Adjusting sections (drawers, rods, shelves, modular fronts). Adjusting sections.
- Corners — the part most people get wrong: basic layout, parameters and interiors, and the true left corner.
- Islands — full-box or sections and panels: Method 1 (full boxes) and Method 2 (sections and panels).
PAC Closet Library vs native Mozaik closets
You can absolutely build closets with Mozaik's native tools. The trade-off is setup time and consistency: native means configuring construction, boring, toe, hardware, and pricing yourself on every job; the PAC Mozaik Closet Library ships those decisions pre-built and standardized. See PAC Closet Library vs Mozaik native closets.

FAQ
How do you design a closet in Mozaik?
Set your modular sizing and construction (32mm shared panel, half overlay), choose floor-standing or wall-hung sections, set the base (toe height, recess, continuous toe or ledger), pick line bore or custom bore, then drop in interiors — shelves, drawers, cubbies, shoe shelves — and hardware. The PAC Closet Library ships all of these pre-configured for Mozaik 14.
What is the best construction for Mozaik closets?
A 32mm shared-panel system with half overlay and full line boring is the cabinetmaker standard: fully adjustable, fast to assemble, and shop-friendly. The PAC Closet Library is built this way using exposed CAM connectors (Titus 6 or Rafix 20), and it can switch to custom boring when you need it.
Can you customize toe, boring, and hardware in Mozaik closets?
Yes — all are parametric. Toe height (ToeH), toe recess, and the continuous toe are adjustable in Job Parms; boring switches between line bore and custom bore; and drawer guides, shelf pins, and box type (metal or wood) are all selectable per job.
Is there a faster way than building Mozaik closets from scratch?
Yes. The PAC Closet Library by Phill Anton Consulting is a drag-and-drop Mozaik 14 library with modular sections, pre-built islands, hutches and benches, an insert library, pricing templates, and hardware lists — so a cabinetmaker can draft a full closet in minutes. It is $2,500 with a setup hour included.
