Hello everyone,
I have a fairly spacious Ikea PAX wardrobe that I am currently using, but I notice that the storage space is not being used optimally. Therefore, my question is: How can you create additional storage space in Ikea PAX wardrobes without compromising functionality or overloading the wardrobe? I am especially interested in tips for interior organization, such as extra shelves, drawer inserts, or innovative organizing accessories. Are there any practical tricks or accessories that have proven effective? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

If you are making something yourself, be sure to measure the internal dimensions precisely, as the cabinet structure and side panels are approximately 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) thick. The load capacity of shelves is typically between 15 and 25 kg (33 to 55 lbs); for DIY projects, you should choose stronger materials and sturdy supports accordingly.
Drawer slides with high load capacity and hanging hooks for added flexibility are also practical.

In addition to the dimensions and loads: if you install extra or custom shelves yourself, make sure they are securely fixed. A PAX wardrobe has pre-drilled holes for shelves every 32 mm (1.25 inches) – this spacing is important for stable attachment and flexibility in positioning.
Also, using interior lighting can improve visibility, making better use of the storage space since everything remains clearly visible.

Lighting significantly enhances functionality. LED light strips or dimmable spotlights, which are easy to install, are recommended. This prevents items from accumulating in the back corners and avoids unnecessary loss of space.
