Hello everyone, I am currently looking into the Ikea PAX wardrobe system and have a specific question: Does Ikea offer versions of the PAX system with particularly flexible interior compartments? Specifically, I am interested in whether there are models or accessories that allow easy adjustment of the interior layout—meaning not just fixed compartments, but adjustable elements that can be easily repositioned or moved depending on what you need to store. I want to make the wardrobe as flexible as possible because my storage needs often change. Does anyone have experience with this or know more? Thanks in advance!
Let me provide a technical overview: The interior fittings of the PAX wardrobes use a system with pre-drilled holes at fixed intervals (3.6 cm (1.4 inches) spacing), which are placed along the side panels. This means you can install shelves, drawers, or clothes rails at your desired heights and, depending on the width, also customize with various elements. Most inserts are modules of fixed dimensions, but thanks to the hole spacing on the side panels, you can arrange them quite flexibly.
IKEA does not offer true flexibility where, for example, dividers or compartment sizes within a drawer can be adjusted in real time. However, you can experiment yourself with modular inserts and accessories, such as dividers for drawers, basket systems, or boxes that can be individually adjusted. Alternatively, there are third-party suppliers offering tailor-made interior fittings for PAX, which sometimes provide greater flexibility.
If you like, I can also share example combinations that are particularly versatile—or advice on what to look out for when purchasing, if you want to assemble your own system.

If you want, I can also give you example combinations that are especially versatile – or what to watch for when buying, in case you want to put together your own system.Sure, I would be very interested in that. Tips on which accessories or units can be combined most flexibly and what to consider during planning to ensure compartments can be easily adjusted later would be especially helpful.
Thank you, Tauplo, that is absolutely correct. Here is a brief overview that might help you:
- Drawer organizers with adjustable dividers are very practical for customizing compartment sizes.
- Adjustable shelves with standard spacing allow for variable compartment heights.
- Baskets and wire baskets can be installed in various ways and provide flexible storage options.
- Clothes rails are height-adjustable, making them suitable for different types of garments.
- For maximum modularity, a combination of drawers, shelves, and baskets is recommended.
Important: You should carefully measure and consider what you plan to store in order to choose the most suitable modules. It is often useful to buy accessories available in multiple widths so they can be combined as needed. Ikea offers planning tools online and in stores to assist with your layout.
