Very cool cabinets from IKEA, I didn’t even know there was such a variety.
Thank you very much for the article. I had a corner cabinet in the hallway from this company. Now I’ll buy a few more for the bedrooms, they’re really beautiful and several options fit perfectly with the decor in the room. By the way, I still don’t understand, is it possible to make some furniture based on your sketches or just ready-made options?

Hi Artem. Alas, no. At least I've never heard of it. You can change the sizes, it seems, but alas, you can’t change anything else. But IKEA promises eco-friendly furniture and fairly fast delivery. furniture is delivered within a week, maximum 10 days and this is a very big advantage.

Their names are funny, but the furniture is quite decent. At the same time, we bought two wardrobes from a local wardrobe company and ordered a regular one with hinged doors from IKEA. The wardrobe was “adjusted” for another week, and still the wardrobe turned out to be bad. IKEA - set it and forget it... so the stingy pays as usual...)

No complaints at all. I was pleased with the IKEA cabinets. The only thing is that they have a tolerance of 3-5 millimeters in size, which can affect the installation if everything is calculated very accurately. There they sometimes have sagging on the contacting surfaces, small shoals that add up to + to the size. Please take this development into account)

Well, it's always like that. If this happens, handle it yourself. Carefully remove the build-up if necessary, if you did it poorly then touch up the paint. I don’t see any problems, and such tolerances are generally considered rude only by cabinet makers; in the mass market, especially furniture, this is quite acceptable.
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:
- Height: 201 or 236 cm;
- Depth: 35 or 58 cm.
Narrow cabinet with a depth of 35 cm
Full-size, with a frame depth of 68 cm.
The width is also not so simple. There are only three standards:
- 50 cm;
- 75 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.
Frame
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.
