A room with a dressing room means daily functionality and convenience. However, to achieve this, you must choose the right storage system.
The wardrobe storage system from Ikea is not only a convenient way to store things, but also a stylish part of the interior of the room.
IKEA wardrobe systems are popular all over the world because they allow you to optimally and aesthetically place a large amount of clothes and shoes. Ikea designed them specifically for easy storage. In addition, the presented complexes require additional equipment with baskets, shelves, nets, etc., and this makes the operation of such systems more comfortable.
This wardrobe system will fit perfectly into any interior.
I’m also pleased with the possibility of placing them in any free corner of the room: you can even place them on the balcony, in the attic, etc.
An old program for designing a kitchen, bedroom, office from IKEA (IKEA Home Planner).

What difficulties can you encounter during the assembly process?
Let's consider the main problems that arise when assembling a wardrobe - structures that are available in various wardrobe systems from Ikea and not only.
Table 1. Problems when assembling the cabinet
| Problem | Causes |
| Doors are difficult to move along the guide | 1. The doors may have been mixed up. Therefore, you need to remove them and check the markings. 2. When installing the rollers, the screws were not tightened properly. 3. The roller has moved from the guide. It is necessary to check its position and correct it. 4. An object has fallen between the doors. |
| The closet door is knocking | 1. The roller has chipped. It may need to be replaced. 2. The guide is clogged with dust. You'll have to take it apart and clean it. |
| Drawers hit doors when opening | 1. First of all, you need to install the base of the cabinet level. 2. Then you should adjust the position of the doors. |
| The back wall is falling off | In most wardrobe systems from Ikea, the back wall must be fixed to the wall - this will make the structure more durable. In addition, this will ensure smooth door movement. If you are not going to fix it to the wall, then instead of nails when assembling the cabinet, it is better to use self-tapping screws. |

Review of kitchen series Method
The IKEA kitchen has taken modular furniture to a new level: you can choose types, sizes, number of cabinets, their contents, type/color of the facade and assemble your own unique set. The manufacturer provides a 25-year warranty for all kitchens of the Method system, so you don’t have to worry about quality.
Budbin
Available in 3 colors: white, gray and green. Matte facades with a wide frame will fit into both classic and scandi styles. The additions to the standard set include glazed doors, open cabinets, wall shelves, decorative plinths, legs, and cornices.
Ringult
Light gloss is an excellent choice for a small area. It reflects light and makes the room visually larger. The outer film is moisture resistant and easy to clean.
Pictured are gold furniture handles
Callarp
Bright glossy kitchen, in 2022 presented in a noble red-brown shade. A dark color will decorate a large room, such as a studio.
Voxthorpe
Looks equally good in both glossy and matte films. It features rounded, integrated handles, making it suitable for minimalism or modernism.
Häggeby
Matte, white, minimalistic - what you need for a simple, functional interior. The surface made of melamine film is easy to clean, protected from moisture and mechanical influences.
The photo shows inexpensive kitchen furniture
Bodarp
For those who care about the environment: the film was created from recycled plastic, and the facades themselves are produced in a plant that runs on renewable energy. The color is a matte gray-green and looks ultra-modern.
Kungsbacka
The anthracite matte film is also made from recycled materials. Make your home more environmentally friendly!
The photo shows cabinets in anthracite color
Lerhyttan
It couldn't get any darker! The black Ikea set is both a little rustic (due to the tall glass cabinets) and classic (thanks to the traditional shapes). Pairs perfectly with the black island of VADHOLMA. Made from solid wood and ash veneer.
Edserum
Classic doors with frames covered with wood imitation film. It looks traditional, and thanks to the film coating it is easy to clean.
Sevedal
An example of an IKEA kitchen that captures the essence of Swedish design. Laconic, but with a twist in the form of simple wide frames along the contour.
Hitarp
Matte white fronts with grooves seem to make the kitchen taller. If your apartment has low ceilings, this option is what you need!
Tingsrid
The ebony-look melamine film creates a realistic imitation of natural material, making the kitchen look noble and expensive. If desired, add a bar counter or Sturnas table. A light analogue is Askersund with a figurative imitation of the light wooden texture of ash.
Thorhamn
Solid wood doors with ash veneer panels. Each façade is unique, which adds luxury to the overall look of the set. Unusual glass with mesh is ideal for a loft-style kitchen.
Layout options
Kitchens from IKEA are suitable for any method of placing modular sections:
- Linear;
- Corner;
- Two-line;
Placing an order
Two days later I received a letter with the detailed composition of my kitchen and prices. After printing this document, I could have gone straight to the checkout counter at IKEA and paid for my purchase, but I decided to make a few changes to the project, so I looked in the kitchen department at the store the day I placed my order. I arrived on a weekday afternoon and was only second in line. My project was checked again, all the parts needed for installation were added, and it was printed for payment. Be sure to review the product listing for errors. Something can be optimized: seeing that the decorative overlay panels made my pencil case twice as expensive, I changed the color of the case to black and did without panels at all. If it later turns out that your order contains extra parts, you can return them without any problems.
