Georgios6117 Aug 2022 09:13Good morning everyone,
I recently purchased an IKEA Platsa wardrobe and am considering which practical storage add-ons would be useful for this system. I am especially interested in accessories like adjustable shelves, drawer inserts, or other organizational tools that make storing clothes and everyday items much easier.
Since Platsa is modular, there are surely some clever add-ons designed specifically for this system or at least compatible with it. I would like to know if anyone in this forum has experience with such additions that truly optimize storage space—preferably with tips on materials, fit, and ease of use.
Thank you in advance!

Hello Georgios61,
Your question about practical storage add-ons for IKEA Platsa is well posed and very relevant, as the system offers many possibilities due to its modular design.
From my own experience, I recommend using additional drawer inserts made of plastic or wood-look materials alongside the original shelves. These help to organize smaller items neatly.
Baskets or fabric boxes that are precisely sized to fit the interior dimensions of Platsa are also very useful. They are flexible and allow you to divide compartments as needed.
When choosing, pay attention to the exact measurements, as Platsa has a distinctive depth that is not always compatible with standard boxes.
In summary: custom-fit inserts and flexible baskets are, in my opinion, the most effective add-ons.

To add to the previous explanations: IKEA itself offers some extensions under the Platsa label, including adjustable metal shelves and various drawer inserts. These are specifically designed to fit the system’s dimensions, ensuring an optimal fit.
Additionally, there are third-party providers on the market offering custom solutions—such as modular dividers and compartment inserts made from sustainable materials like bamboo or recycled plastic.
Also interesting is the use of drawers with a soft-close function, which significantly improves daily handling.
For space-saving vertical use, there are hanging solutions that can be attached to the back panel of the Platsa system, for items like belts or small bags.
A tip: When selecting accessories, be sure to consider the maximum load capacity of the shelves, as some add-ons can become quite heavy.

Very interesting topic; I can provide a detailed explanation and explore the possibilities more thoroughly.
Platsa is technically a modular furniture series, whose internal dimensions are precisely based on the cabinet measurements. The depth is usually 50 cm (20 inches), while the width varies depending on the module. This creates some challenges when adding third-party products, as many standard systems are either deeper or narrower.
For an optimal system, I would recommend the following components:
- Custom-fit insert boxes made of faux leather or agglomerated plastic, equipped with non-slip feet on the bottom to prevent movement inside the cabinet.
- Height-adjustable metal shelves with holes spaced on a 32-mm (1.26-inch) grid, compatible with the Platsa system.
- Transparent dividers for clothing drawers to maintain organized separation of socks, underwear, and accessories.
An important point is the attachment method: Many add-ons require screw fixing or special clamps, which work well with the Platsa system due to its aluminum frames.
I’d be interested to know the specific use you are considering for the add-ons: clothing, household items, tools? Depending on the purpose, there are specialized products and clever solutions I would be happy to recommend.

My main focus is on storing clothing, especially underwear, T-shirts, and some accessories like belts and watches. Additionally, part of the system will be used for storing office supplies.
It is important for me to have as good an overview as possible and easy accessibility so that items are quickly at hand without having to rearrange the entire closet.
Hello Georgios61,
I can share some tips from my own experience regarding the combination of clothing and office supplies.
For underwear and t-shirts, drawer inserts with compartments work best. IKEA offers the "SKUBB" system for this purpose, which fits easily into Platsa drawers and is divided into several sections.
I have also used a combination of flexible fabric baskets and transparent boxes that can be placed on shelves. These are easy to remove and provide quick access to what you need.
For office supplies, small drawers or stackable organizers are very helpful – they fit well in one of the lower cabinet compartments, keeping the workspace clear.
Having a system is important: basically, organize items by frequency of use, placing frequently used things within easy reach, and less frequently used items lower down or to the side.
