ikea sliding wardrobe (55 photos): design model, assembly instructions

Home » Doors

The IKEA company produces affordable furniture in the economy segment, which is suitable for DIY assembly. A characteristic feature of this company is the sale of elements of all structures separately. If you decide to design and assemble a sliding wardrobe yourself, you can purchase wardrobe doors from IKEA to go with it.

Beautiful examples in the interior

You can attach doors of various styles to the standard Pax cabinet frame, which are suitable for rustic furniture, “space” design, modern style and others. You can also use the closet as a divider from one large room into two smaller ones (for example, to enclose a sleeping area in a studio).

The Pax system can be used to create an ideal dressing room in a small room. To do this, frames of small depth are selected, which are attached to the walls along the entire perimeter of the room. In this case, the best option would be doors with a hingeless fastening method. Inside the cabinets there is a section for things on hangers (usually occupies 1.5-2 m), a section for accessories and shoes, and a section for underwear. Thanks to the unified Ikea design, you can match the cabinets with a chest of drawers and a mirror that are identical in style.

Bergbsu doors are an ideal option for creating rooms in the Provence style or pseudo-rustic style. To refer to ethical motifs, it is enough to choose the right fittings, and now the cabinet matches the style of the antique sideboard.

The Pax storage system can become like part of a wall. To do this, the frame and sliding doors are matched to the color of the walls; the height of the wardrobe should match the height of the ceilings as much as possible. The lower part of the frame does not stand out, as if the doors were on the floor. A wardrobe made in this way is a continuation of the wall and does not visually “eat up” the space.

There are two ways to separate a bedroom from a living space with a wardrobe: a wardrobe inside the bedroom and a wardrobe outside. If the closet will store bed linen, pajamas, and household items, then it is better to turn it with its doors towards the bedroom, but if it will serve as a place for outdoor outerwear, bags, shoes and trousers, then it will be more convenient to turn it with its doors into the hallway.

You will learn more about how to choose a PAX cabinet from Ikea in the following video.

How to dismantle from a wardrobe with your own hands?

Any door consists of:

The removal process itself looks like this:

How does the mechanism work?

Doors are installed in several ways:

Required Tools

When assembling or dismantling any furniture items, you must prepare all the tools in advance. This makes the job much easier. To remove the doors, just arm yourself with a screwdriver (its type depends on the method of fastening the door). It is advisable to invite a friend to help you: when removing large doors you will need outside help. You need to prepare a container for self-tapping screws and other small parts.

How to remove rollers?

Since the rollers on the door leaves are equipped with plastic latches, they block attempts to remove the door leaf. Therefore, before dismantling the canvas, it is necessary to remove the rollers. If they are equipped with locks, then in order for the door to come off the rails, the flag on the lower roller is rotated 90 degrees.

Mounted and sliding

Hinged doors are installed in small models. This fastening is only suitable for door leaves with low weight.
And under heavy loads, the hinged structure will not work correctly and will quickly fail. To remove hinged doors you need a wrench, and the process itself looks like this:

This was considered as an option for dismantling hinged doors in inexpensive models. Expensive furniture models with hinged doors are additionally equipped with:

Dismantling steps:

All actions with the remaining doors are done in the same sequence.

How to assemble it yourself?

In order for the wardrobe to serve faithfully for a long time, it is necessary to install it correctly using the included instructions. Consistently, step by step connecting the parts and taking into account all the nuances, you can independently assemble and install the wardrobe. But sometimes during installation you may encounter some problems resulting from incorrect assembly:

• One of them is related to the incorrect sliding of doors along the guides, which occurs when they are installed incorrectly. This problem is solved by rearranging a system equipped with rollers on sliding doors.
• The second reason is related to loose screws used when fastening door frames or when installing rollers. Sometimes it is not possible to tighten it; it may be torn off or simply not fit the thread. You can get it out using tools, tap the internal thread with a tap, and then tighten the screw.

A roller that has come off the guide due to a foreign object or incorrect placement of the limiter. In the first option, an unnecessary item is removed. In the second, the roller with the lower bracket is reinstalled into the guide, followed by fixing the limiter. Failure to move the doors is possible due to frame misalignment

It occurs either due to unevenness of the floor covering, or due to an incorrectly made frame screed, or inaccurate fastening to the wall. If you can’t hang the doors, then you need to pay attention to the limiter. For an internal door, before installation, the limiter part is placed in a horizontal position, and then it must be returned to the vertical position

For the second door, the part is moved toward itself, and after installation, away from itself. If the door knocks when opening, then it is necessary to inspect the guides for debris and gaps if the guides are not tightly connected to each other. And also inspect the wheel in the roller system for deformation and the presence of foreign particles. Door rattling may be due to the loss or deliberate failure to install seals, as well as poor fixation of screws. Sometimes, due to incorrectly adjusted doors, internal drawers hit them when rolling out. To fix the problem, you need to pay attention not only to the doors, but also to the frame, leveling it using a level. And also don’t forget to check the bump stop by placing it in the correct position.

Below we suggest watching a more detailed video about the correct assembly and installation of sliding doors.

Detailed video instructions for working with the IKEA PAX planner

Preparation of door facades

The same conductor made an additive for the shelves and hinges.

I ordered the doors from the same office where I cut the chipboard. They are an MDF profile in a film, fastened with special “butterflies” and in the center 8mm laminated chipboard. It was possible to insert a mirror, but since the bed is located opposite the door, it is not very good to hang a mirror: not everyone likes to see themselves when they are asleep

I marked the holes for the hinges using a ruler and drilled them with a forstner cutter - nothing complicated. Large diameters should be drilled at low speeds. I did this at the first speed of the screwdriver; as a result: neat chips do not scatter everywhere and it is easier to control the depth. It’s good if the centering spout is not very large, so there is less chance of drilling through.

I saw a jig for hinges on sale, but for me this is already overkill.

Assembly instructions

The collection step by step is as follows:

It is necessary to correctly position the walls, focusing on the number of holes for fasteners. Where the wall needs to be nailed to the wall of the apartment, there will be two rows of holes. Now you need to find the bottom and top. There will also be more than one row of holes at the bottom, and large holes for “hats” for pins will be cut out on the top. Connect the elements to form a box. To do this, attach the bottom to the cabinet walls, having first screwed the legs into it; there should be two legs on each side. When the walls are fixed from below, insert metal pins into the upper part, onto which the upper part is mounted. When the “ceiling” is put on the pins (you can see them through the large holes), you need to make sure that the elements fit snugly against each other. Insert the caps into the holes with a cross inside the cabinet, then tighten the caps. At this stage, the box can already be placed vertically

Pay attention to one very important point - the box of the cabinet is not solid, it is assembled from 2-4 boxes of equal dimensions, which are fastened together. Find small wooden ribs and insert them under the bottom, while driving their wooden pins into the intended grooves

When all the stiffeners are installed, you need to secure the cabinet to the wall using the most convenient fastening systems. To finally assemble the Pax, attaching the doors to it, you need to start installing the runners. They are attached to the bottom and ceiling of the cabinet, and a plug is placed at the ends of the runners. You need to attach another one to the lower runner, to which the door will be attached; on the upper one you need to put plastic fasteners for the door.

The Pax cabinet itself is assembled, now you need to start assembling the door:

1. You need to assemble a metal structure with special holes in it. You need to insert and screw metal levels into them, with the help of which the metal and mirror panels will be joined. During assembly, it is best to rely on the photo.
2. The door structure is finally assembled using screws.
3. The doors are placed on the runners and the ease of movement is checked. If the doors move hard, then you need to adjust the screws - loosen or tighten them more until the door starts to move smoothly.

That's all, IKEA furniture is ready for use.

Instructions for assembling the Pax cabinet, described in technical language, are located on the IKEA website in the catalog. To find all the diagrams that belong to the wardrobe, you need to find a Pax wardrobe or corner wardrobe in the catalog and open the desired page. Schematic instructions will be in the left column under the photo.

If the technical language and verbal descriptions are not entirely clear, you can watch a video that shows the most difficult aspects of the assembly, namely the fastening of Auli doors, which many people find difficult to install.

The Pax corner cabinet from IKEA can be assembled using the same principle; some fundamental differences in the assembly can be seen in the photo. In particular, the corner one lacks the Auli door, which makes it even easier to assemble.

Do it yourself, useful advice

Technical errors made during the design in production or during assembly when connecting parts are not immediately noticeable. An incorrectly assembled furniture design has a number of shortcomings that will appear during operation. In the article we will look at how to make furniture in the house better and more reliable from a technical point of view.

Features of wardrobe systems from Ikea

The company's furniture is suitable for storing both large and small items. Such designs have been popular among buyers for many years due to their functionality and favorable cost.

Many people prefer wardrobes from this manufacturer because of their versatility, because you can choose the best option for a room of any size and design. In addition, the design of these systems allows the use of additional elements in the form of baskets, rails, drawers, various shelves, and compartments.

You can fit a lot of things in an Ikea wardrobe

Another advantage of such systems is the ability to install them in almost any corner or free space of the room. All this, combined with impeccable quality, makes any Ikea product very popular among buyers.

Ikea systems include many storage elements

Step-by-step assembly process

First, the sections are assembled. If you select parts for sections in advance, you can save work time. Therefore, it is better to spend a few minutes and put the elements in separate piles. This way the work will proceed faster. The second step will be to remove the doors from the cabinets and remove the shelves and drawers. Put these elements together. Next comes the installation of cabinets. By checking the instructions, the sizes and types of cabinets are determined. Accordingly, all the parts for the boxes are selected. Next, you need to correctly install screws, dowels, and locks. This is done with a Phillips screwdriver

It is important to fasten the structure firmly. All sections of the headset are assembled in the same way. Small pieces are cut from the adhesive tape and glued to visible areas of the finished sections

Do not remove the tapes until the end of the installation process. Installation and placement of cabinets is carried out in strict accordance with the instructions. All sections must be placed in their place, as in the diagram that was drawn in advance. The doors must be hung evenly and carefully. First, the awnings are attached to the base and the door separately. The fastening points are marked in advance on the elements. Even a small shift can lead to damage to the part. You will have to dismantle the canopies and move them to other places. In this case, holes will remain and the appearance will not be aesthetic. If everything is done smoothly, the door will “sit” exactly.

You need to check its strength and avoid contact with the base of the cabinet. Otherwise, the facade quickly crumbles and becomes unusable.

If rails are provided for sliding cabinets, they are inserted into special holes.

Opinion of a professional assembler

Probably, as a professional assembler, I come across what seem to me to be obvious shortcomings, but the ordinary consumer does not notice them at all, or considers them very insignificant. Or, as an option, the customers themselves have underestimated requirements for the quality of the kitchen, because for that kind of money they don’t expect anything else. Some people would agree with this, but I think that Borovichi’s quality is at a very low level.

Here is an example that Borovichi had to encounter during the last assembly of furniture. The side of the kitchen pencil case (the same part) is shown from opposite edges. If made correctly, they should be mirror identical, but we don’t see this

If you pay attention, the distance from the edge of the part to the center of the hole for the tie should be 8mm, but in this case it is 13mm and 3mm. It won't be hard to imagine how the pieces will fit together

Let's consider other cases with elements of furniture purchased in one of the supermarkets. On two of them we will see a half-glued edge. But this is not the worst flaw in the product, since these untreated ends will not be visible later. In the following photographs you can see the result that was obtained when the parts for the dowels were drilled incorrectly. Please note that only the right side of the cabinet is drilled correctly. The edge of the chipboard part is glued incorrectly.

How to store children's toys: 3 tips for maintaining order

Staying organized isn't just about having large storage systems. Children often complain about the lack of interesting activities for themselves, although the apartment is already literally covered with a carpet of dolls, cars and books. The problem lies not in the lack of things, but in their huge quantity: the child gets lost and cannot make a choice.

In order to always maintain order in the children's room, you should from time to time sort through and inspect toys for damage.

What to do in such a situation? The first step is to get rid of some toys. You should start with broken things and those that the child does not play with or remembers only occasionally.

Then you need to sort the toys according to their intended purpose (or categories). This will make it easier for the child to find the necessary thing, rather than rummaging through the whole pile.

Toys can be divided into the following categories:

• Constructor;
• Cars;
• Dolls and accessories (clothing, furniture);
• Dishes;
• Cubes;
• Puzzles;
• Stuffed Toys;
• Books, etc.

There should also be a system for arranging the child’s things on the shelves in the children’s room. Thus, your favorite toys should be stored in an area of ​​direct accessibility (bottom drawers of the closet). Small parts that adults help the baby work with are best placed on the top shelves (construction sets, plasticine, puzzles).

Things that it is advisable to wean a child from should be put in dark boxes. And the toys that the baby should remember more often are in transparent ones. Or put them in the most visible place.

General assembly rules

These tips apply to all types of furniture without exception; be sure to follow the general recommendations, which will help you avoid many mistakes.

When assembling furniture, it is important to follow general rules

1. Carefully read the instructions, check the completeness of the hardware supply, find out the purpose of each part and fastener.
   You must understand not only what is fixed, where and in what sequence, but also what functions each part performs and what loads it is designed for. This knowledge will make it possible to select the permissible forces of cabinet elements during assembly. During this period, they are subject to loads not provided for by the manufacturer, and the risks of mechanical breakdowns increase. You always need to control how much you can deflect individual shelves and walls during installation, when the hardware only needs to be attached, and when it needs to be tightened to the limit. Before starting assembly, you should carefully read the manufacturer's instructions
2. Do not mix up parts from different packages.
   Manufacturers package them in such a way as to make the assembly process as easy as possible. For example, in one package there is only a bottom and top part, in another there is a back wall and shelves, in a third door part, in a fourth side part, etc. If you unpacked several packages to check, then put them in separate places. Cabinet parts must be carefully laid out
3. Prepare your tools.
   The specific set depends on the model and manufacturer, but for most cabinets you need hex keys and a set of screwdrivers, including ones for Eurobolts. Responsible furniture manufacturers prepare all holes for hardware during production. Assembly tools

It is imperative to prepare the place for assembly: make room for connecting large parts, provide good lighting.

• Height - 201 or 236 cm;
• Width - from 50 to 300 cm;
• Frame depth - 35 or 58 cm.

In addition, you can choose between straight, corner and modular wardrobe modifications.

• From the wall to the door or window leaf;
• In the center of the wall.

The design of the cabinet is simple and versatile, making the cabinet ideal for a classic-style interior.

This “Pax” wall is distinguished by the ability to modernize your wardrobe using individual wardrobe elements. By combining different shapes, styles and colors, you can create spectacular designs. Modular closets are very convenient when moving. Those who like experimenting also prefer them: rearranging individual sections from place to place is interesting and easy.

Materials and colors

Ikea uses the highest quality materials to produce Pax wardrobes. In the production of cabinet frames the following are used:

• Laminated chipboard and fiberboard;
• Tempered glass parts.
• Internal components for wardrobes are made from:
• Anti-corrosion steel;
• chipboard;
• Fiberboard;
• High quality ABS plastics.

Pax wardrobe from Ikea

As for the color scheme, the white Pax wardrobe in the interior still remains the most popular. In addition to visually expanding the space, it perfectly complements the interior made in any style. The company also offers other color solutions for wardrobes:

• Brown is a solid and elegant classic;
• Bleached oak - brings a touch of homely warmth and comfort to the room;
• Black - classic, strict style;
• Silver – for glamorous interiors;
• Light blue and dark blue are bright accents in the apartment;
• Beige – soft cozy pastel.

The brand also offers two-color options, which we will show in the photo. The dressing room can be made in a strict black and brown shade or a contrasting combination of black and white. Mirrored or transparent glass doors visually lighten the design and create the illusion of additional space. Manufacturers also produce glossy, matte and translucent cabinets.

PAX wardrobe from IKEA. Full review + 40 photos of the interior

The PAX wardrobe system, like their METHOD kitchens, allows you to assemble furniture like a designer set. But is it so universal and will it solve your storage problems? I will share with you my personal purchasing experience, and also show you what the cabinet looks like in a real interior.

PAX planner: set dimensions and choose design

PAX can be planned independently in the planner program, or with a specialist when visiting a store. The good thing about the second method is that a specialist can give you some advice or warn you against mistakes in planning. The first one will please those who do not have the opportunity to visit the store, because... IKEA is not available in all cities of Russia and CIS countries.

This is what the scheduler interface looks like on the website. On the right is the main menu where you can set different sizes and configurations.

The price will depend on the content and dimensions. The most expensive will be tall cabinets with glass doors or veneer fronts. Panels on sliding doors made of fiberboard are the most budget-friendly.

In general, a cabinet assembled using the PAX system costs from 5 thousand rubles.

Internal filling
The project above is just my closet. And this is what it looks like in reality.

Dimensions of my closet: 236x58x150 cm. The price in this configuration, as can be seen in the screenshot from the program, is almost 27 thousand. In my opinion it is very cheap.

Facades: one sliding door - “Mehamn” under stained ash; the other is mirrored.

Frame sizes

Although IKEA claims that this wardrobe system allows you to assemble a wardrobe for almost any room, the size and capabilities of PAX are still limited.

In the catalog you can choose only 2 types of height and 2 depths:

The width is also not so simple. There are only three standards:

• 50 cm;

• 100 cm.

I wanted to install PAX not only in the room, but also in the hallway for outerwear. But precisely because of the width, we had to look for other options for arranging the hallway.

Corner

The PAX system allows you to assemble a corner or U-shaped wardrobe option. To do this, you need to purchase a special module.

Unfortunately, IKEA does not currently have options for frames with a beveled corner. And, in my opinion, it looks more beautiful with a right angle. Although, perhaps, a corner wardrobe in the shape of a trapezoid is more convenient to use.

Doors: hinged and sliding

Sliding ones save space, but from personal experience I will say that it is inconvenient to dress alone with such a wardrobe: while one half is open, access to the other is closed.

But in a small apartment or in a narrow corridor, there aren’t really any other options besides sliding doors.

But there are more design options among swing designs.

Internal filling

The interior arrangement and organization of storage is a separate delight. For this I am ready to endlessly praise IKEA.

Everything is thought out to the smallest detail:

• shelves can be installed at any height convenient for you;
• built-in lighting (to get dressed normally, you don’t need to turn on the lights in the entire room and wake up your household, this is super humane in relation to the husband sleeping in the room, who gets up for work an hour or two later);
• clothes rails (stationary and retractable);
• retractable trouser hangers,
• pull-out shelves for shoes;
• retractable baskets;
• boxes, hanging bags;
• drawers and drawers;
• and much, much more.

This is simply paradise for those who love order and functionality!

Open wardrobes PAX

A large dressing room is every woman's dream. And with IKEA’s open storage system, you can get closer to your dream by organizing a mini version of it in the pantry, for example. Or under the stairs.

And if the size of the bedroom allows, then you can build a partition from plasterboard, organizing storage behind it.

Design options

For sliding doors, the catalog offers the following facade options:

• white: matte or glossy;
• frosted glass;
• beige gloss;
• light gray gloss;
• white with a white strip design;
• bleached oak;
• dark frosted glass;
• dark bamboo;
• white textured;
• mirrored

The sliding door frame can be composed of different facades, because... its parts are sold separately.

The frames are available in only three colors: white, bleached oak and black-brown.

There is a larger range of swing doors. There are blue, green, gray, black, black-brown, light or dark wood, white and even with a floral pattern. There are smooth facades, with panels or with a mirror.

Assembly instructions

If you have at least minimal skills in working with a screwdriver, and the instructions do not seem like a bunch of incomprehensible words and pictures, then you can safely assemble it yourself. But not alone. Call a friend for help: sliding doors with glass are especially heavy and it is very difficult to install them alone. My husband and I assembled the closet together. We got it done in a couple of evenings.

Detailed instructions are included with the furniture. And if you lost it for some reason, you can find it electronically in the product card on the official website.

To imagine the full scale of the upcoming assembly work, watch the video:

Be sure to secure cabinets to the wall for safety.

Opinions on review sites

In addition to quality, it is worth evaluating other properties and characteristics of this furniture. What do other buyers say about this?
