Do you have Ikea Pax in your utility room?

I’m considering planning something with Nobilia or Schüller.
Which systems do you have? Ikea Pax or similar?
I would appreciate photos.
I want to design my utility room in an appealing way without mixing different furniture brands—so preferably Ikea Pax or other manufacturers.
There are examples on the Nobilia and Schüller websites. The washer and dryer are then placed raised inside a cabinet. Is this something to be concerned about, or can it be done without any issues?
Or is it better to build masonry platforms?

As I said: photos of how your utility room looks are welcome.

We initially considered going with a kitchen manufacturer, but we found the prices too high for a utility room. I often just put down tools or throw my dirty gloves on the shelf, so it would get scratched and damaged within a few months.

We settled on IKEA and didn’t choose Pax cabinets, but bought Platsa cabinets instead.

For the countertop, we simply screwed a particleboard with a decorative surface on top.

We will also equip the utility room with Ikea Pax. We like Ikea Pax – Metod would also be an option.

The laundry room is our utility room (HAR). We simply installed a section of the old kitchen units there to create a uniform look, with the washing machine placed underneath. On the other side, there is a wooden shelf with the dryer underneath.

We have a separate utility room from Schüller’s Clean & Easy series. We bought it together with our Schüller kitchen. It cost us a solid 4,000 euros.

Modern gray built-in cabinetry with many doors, drawers at the bottom, and oval display openings on the right.


Laundry room: washing machine on a base cabinet, sink, second front-loading washer, window on the right.


Top-down kitchen plan: sink, stove, dishwasher, base cabinets, and wall cabinets in the floor plan.

I initially planned to do this with kitchen cabinets but found the price to be quite high.
I searched for a long time and eventually went with an Ikea kitchen (see attached picture). That would have cost around €1200 (about $1300).
Then I noticed that Ikea also offers a 30cm (12 inches) deep PAX system. We ended up buying that because it offered several features I wanted and was more affordable (the entire wall unit including accessories cost about €680 (about $740)).
The Ikea PAX system has pull-out baskets, which I will use to sort our dirty laundry after washing cycles. Additionally, I can store laundry and cleaning supplies in the tall cabinet at a height out of reach of our toddler.
In the left cabinet section, I planned an insert where the vacuum cleaner will sit, and the vacuum hose along with tall items like mops, brooms, and buckets will be stored on the right side.
We have almost finished assembling the cabinet; I can post photos on Monday.

Space is quite limited for us. We are trying to maximize storage in a wall that is exactly 35cm (14 inches) deep. Right now, it fits perfectly, but the cabinet almost overwhelms you when you walk through the door.
