Hello everyone, I’m planning to get an IKEA Pax system and mainly want to use it to organize my craft supplies neatly and clearly. I have quite a few small and medium-sized items, such as paper, paints, glue, brushes, ribbons, and stickers, that I want to sort. The Pax wardrobes are quite flexible with various inserts, but how can this be realistically and practically implemented? Does anyone have tips on how to best use drawers, baskets, or boxes to keep everything within easy reach? I’m especially interested in system ideas that improve visibility and accessibility, as I often work on craft projects spontaneously and don’t want to spend a long time searching. Thanks in advance for your experiences and advice!
Another important aspect is the lighting inside the Pax unit, especially if you have many drawers. Installing LED strips inside greatly improves visibility.
This way, you can quickly and easily select your craft materials without having to pull everything out. This is particularly convenient for smaller projects and spontaneous crafting sessions.

I love using my PAX as a crafting station! For me, stackable boxes with transparent lids are especially great because I can always see my beads, brushes, and small tools immediately 😍.
I also attached small magnetic strips inside the doors, which are perfect for holding metal items like scissors or cans. It saves space and keeps everything organized!
Make it colorful and cozy – crafting is even more fun that way!

If you’re willing to try, also check out the PAX frame doors. With glass or plexiglass, you can see everything without opening the doors.That’s a great tip! I’d like to add that depending on the door material, the lighting conditions can be crucial, especially with glass or plexiglass. Use diffuse LED lighting inside and make sure your storage boxes have a neutral background—this way, you’ll create a real “push effect” for better visibility.
Summary:
- Glass/plexiglass doors for visibility
- Install LED lighting inside
- Combine storage systems with transparent boxes
This way, your PAX will become a true crafting paradise!
