How to design your perfect PAX wardrobe

You first need to measure the space you have – from floor to ceiling and from wall to wall. Available frame heights are 201 cm and 236 cm but be sure to allow an extra height clearance of 1 cm if you want hinged doors or 4 cm for sliding doors. (You also need at least 1 cm clearance to assemble any PAX wardrobe upright rather than raising it from the floor.) Widths are 50 cm, 75 cm or 100 cm and the depth is either 35 cm or 58 cm. You can choose between three colours of PAX frame – white, black-brown and white-stained oak effect.

To match the frames, you can choose between a variety of hinged doors (25 cm or 50 cm wide) or pairs of soft-closing sliding doors (150 cm or 200 cm wide). Of course, you can skip the doors entirely if you want an open wardrobe. Knobs or handles complete your hinged doors and you can easily replace them when you want to refresh the look.

Have a good think about what you will store in your wardrobe, so that you can add exactly the interior organisers that you need. KOMPLEMENT accessories includes smart drawers, shelves, shoe racks, jewellery trays, pull-out hangers and more.

With lighting for your PAX wardrobe, you can add the finishing touch and make your clothes easier to see. There are lighting options that you can control with IKEA Home smart, as well as sensor lights that operate automatically when you open or close the door.

Once you’ve measured and have a rough idea of what you want, you can narrow down your options in the PAX planner tool. There, you can see how the frames, doors, handles and lighting look in a ‘virtual’ room. You can add the products to your shopping list to take with you to the store or add them to the shopping bag to buy online.
