ᐅ Built-in furniture for hallway and similar areas from the kitchen studio?

Kitchen manufacturers are like all service providers. Some are more expensive, some cheaper. Unfortunately, you can rarely judge quality based on price alone.

In my experience, it is more cost-effective (both in price and overall) to design spaces, niches, and corners so they can be filled with standard products. With clever planning, you can no longer tell an IKEA Pax from a custom-built wardrobe. The IKEA model, however, costs significantly less than a custom-made one.

See here:

We have invested a lot of money in a carpenter in several areas. That was the right decision. But specifically for the wardrobe, it was not worth it for us.
What you see in the picture is a DIY Pax.

Well, when you are already placing an order for a kitchen, it might make sense to expand the order package to include additional cabinets for other rooms. You just have to be offered the option. I’m also a big fan of Pax, but if I could get pre-assembled furniture delivered together with the kitchen for a similar price, I would definitely go for it. If you stick to the usual Pax dimensions of 50 or 100 cm (20 or 40 inches) wide, you might also be able to use Pax interior fittings for a cabinet later on 😉

It is important to me that the closet is fully boxed in, closed on the sides and at the top. Do you know what I mean? I also really like Pax. A company nearby offers custom modifications for Ikea furniture...

Does anyone have experience with this? Were you satisfied? Especially with the price range?..

We ordered the kitchen, utility room, and washbasins plus cabinets for the bathroom and guest WC at our kitchen showroom.

The kitchen is from Häcker. The utility room and bathroom furniture are from Nobilia.

In terms of cost, the bathroom furniture was noticeably more expensive compared to sanitary specialist retailers. However, the kitchen solution in the utility room was more costly than if you had bought multipurpose cabinets from a furniture discount store.

I have also assembled cabinets myself. The basis was Ikea Pax modules, which I mostly bought second-hand from the Ikea bargain corner.
From this, I even created a small kitchenette in the children’s room. The knee wall and some of the wall paneling were also done using Ikea kitchen fronts. However, everything is consistently in white with the Bodbyn elements.

In the hallway, I used them as wall cladding, 5m (16.4 ft) long and 1m (3.3 ft) high. The door elements were also purchased second-hand from the bargain corner for 1 to 5 euros each. A new door usually costs around 60 euros. These now fit perfectly with the kitchen since the fronts are similar from another manufacturer.

So, once you get used to the Ikea system, it is possible to build something very affordable and durable here.

There are Nobilia Elements for bathrooms, living spaces, and more. The grid and cabinet depths differ from kitchen cabinets; I believe this range is more affordable than kitchen cabinets.
