Good morning everyone,

Lately, I have been looking into the Ikea PAX wardrobe systems, especially the interiors and drawer options. My specific question is: Are there PAX drawers with extended storage options?

By this, I mean whether there are special or extended drawer models or attachments that offer more storage space or better organization beyond the standard depths and heights, for example, drawers with higher sidewalls, modular inserts, or additional dividers. Variants that may hold more weight or provide special storage for rarely used items would also be of interest.

Has anyone had experience with such specialized drawer solutions within the PAX range or possibly third-party alternatives that fit well?

Thanks in advance for your insights and tips!

Hello,

yes, the PAX drawers come in various standard heights. However, taller side panels are rare. You can increase storage options more effectively by using internal organizers that can be installed.

Alternatively, there are deep drawers for larger items, but these remain within the limits of the given wardrobe system.

Hi,

Ikea PAX does not actually offer any drawers that are fundamentally extended or deeper than the standard depth.

For more storage space, I recommend purchasing larger basket or drawer inserts that can be installed inside the existing drawers. These inserts often help to better organize and optimize the storage capacity.

Third-party systems also offer modular inserts, which are often custom-made to fit PAX drawers precisely. This can further enhance functionality and organization.

The PAX system cabinet is standardized regarding drawer sizes. There are three main drawer front heights: low, medium, and high, with a standardized depth of 58 cm (23 inches), matching the depth of the PAX carcass.

The basis is therefore the frame with depth limitations, which must be considered if you want more storage space. Additional storage options can be achieved through interior boxes, adjustable dividers, and organizers. Ikea itself does not offer drawers with dimensions other than the standardized ones.

For increased load capacity, you can supplement the metal drawer slides or turn to third-party suppliers who offer reinforced components.

Hey everyone!

A few months ago, I upgraded my PAX system significantly and bought various organizers and higher drawer fronts.

What works really well: drawers with higher side panels, combined with dividers for shoes and clothing – this makes a big difference in saving space! You can immediately tell that the storage capacity is being used much more efficiently!

Don’t get discouraged; there are many ways to customize the space inside the drawers perfectly. Just be brave and experiment! 😊

Best regards!

Good morning everyone!

I want to bring a bit of lightness to the topic: PAX drawers might not come in huge sizes, but with a few clever tricks, you can really make the most of them.

- For example, shallow boxes or dividers can be placed inside the drawers, which are perfect for small items.
- The side walls can also be enhanced with flexible organizers.

You just need to dare to creatively combine some IKEA classics. That way, every centimeter (0.4 inches) becomes a storage paradise! 😉
