Hello everyone, I finally want to configure a functional wardrobe closet using the Ikea Platsa system, but I am a bit uncertain about the detailed planning. My main concern is that the closet provides enough space for jackets, coats, and shoes while remaining flexible in case I want to make changes later. It should also be as compact as possible and fit well in a hallway with limited space (about 150 cm (59 inches) wide, 60 cm (24 inches) deep, 200 cm (79 inches) high).
Can you offer tips on how to ideally configure PLATSA as a wardrobe closet? Which components are essential to ensure functionality? Are there recommendations on the dimensions and modules that work especially well for this? Practical advice on assembly and how to combine hanging rods and shelves would also be very helpful.

Which elements are essential to ensure functionality?I can relate to your situation well, as I faced similar challenges. For me, it was important to have space for both long coats and shorter jackets. That’s why I chose a combination of different hanging rods and open compartments. Additionally, I included baskets for hats and scarves, which are very useful.
Don’t stress yourself out; the setup may seem complicated at first, but it’s worthwhile to think through your daily routine step by step – this helps a lot with making the right choices.
To configure the Ikea PLATSA as a wardrobe, I recommend the following practical approach:
- Start by assessing the available storage space. For a width of 150 cm (59 inches), you can ideally use two 75 cm (30 inches) wide modules side by side.
- Include at least one module with a hanging rail for long garments (e.g., coats). Plan for a height of at least 100–120 cm (39–47 inches) here.
- Add at least one module with multiple shelves or drawers for smaller clothing items and accessories.
- An open compartment at the bottom for shoes or a shoe basket is ideal for keeping shoes organized.
- Keep in mind the standard PLATSA depth of 60 cm (24 inches), which provides enough space for hangers.
Important: PLATSA modules can often be assembled and rearranged flexibly without the need for tools.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to optimally configure a wardrobe using Ikea PLATSA:
1. Measure: Determine the exact dimensions of your hallway space, including height, width, and depth.
2. Choose modules: Select two PLATSA modules that are 75cm (30 inches) wide and 60cm (24 inches) deep, which is the standard size.
3. Interior setup: Install a hanging rod at about 120cm (47 inches) height in one module to accommodate coats and long jackets.
4. Shelves: Arrange shelves in the other module for shoes and foldable compartments, which you can organize with baskets.
5. Drawers: Optionally, add one or two drawers at the bottom for small items like scarves and gloves.
6. Door options: You can either leave the compartments open or install doors to create a neater appearance.
Common mistakes with PLATSA include not allowing enough height for coats and using shelves without a back panel, which affects stability and aesthetics.

Could you please explain how flexible the depth arrangement is? For example, can I combine individual shelves or hanging rods at different depths, or is it better to strictly follow the module dimensions?
