USGIVINHello everyone,
I have a specific question regarding the Ikea PAX wardrobe systems: Are there any wardrobes within the PAX model range that can be combined using two cabinet units of different heights, meaning can you place two wardrobes of varying heights side by side?
I was considering building a combination of a lower and a higher PAX wardrobe to accommodate different room niches and storage needs. I am generally aware of the different widths and depths of the modules, but my question is whether Ikea offers official models or module combinations within PAX that allow for two wardrobes with different heights that visually match well and are compatible.
Does anyone have experience with this? Are there official options, or are all PAX cabinet units always the same height, so that combining two different heights side by side would either look inconsistent or cause technical issues during assembly?
Looking forward to your insights or experiences! Thanks in advance.

Hello USGIVIN!
Yes, there is some flexibility with PAX, and I really like how creatively you’re approaching this! 😃
Regarding your question: Ikea does offer different heights for PAX wardrobe components — typically 201 cm (79 inches) and 236 cm (93 inches). So you can easily place two wardrobes of different heights side by side!
These height options are official within the PAX range, and both versions are compatible. This is great for accommodating different ceiling heights or room functions. One important tip: just make sure the plinth height and the fronts match each other, so it looks visually neat.
Good luck with your build! If you need any more tips, just let me know! 👍

Hello everyone,
I’d like to go into a bit more detail because this topic is very interesting and involves not only design aspects but also technical compatibility.
The PAX wardrobe models from Ikea come in different standard heights, usually 201 cm (79 inches) and 236 cm (93 inches). You can distinguish these heights because each wardrobe has standardized corner dimensions and system holes that ensure coordinated assembly.
However, there are a few points to consider:
- Altering the heights can affect the overall appearance, especially if you want to place models side by side.
- Different heights next to each other can be balanced with appropriate cover panels (e.g., placed on top of the taller wardrobe) or by adjusting the baseboard heights.
- The doors and fronts should be carefully matched because some series are designed specifically for one height. For example, there are fronts that fit only the 201 cm (79 inches) wardrobes and others made for the 236 cm (93 inches) ones.
Therefore: You can definitely place two PAX wardrobes with different heights next to each other, but the combination requires careful planning regarding front selection, baseboard heights, and possible visual balancing elements.
USGIVIN, what room dimensions and usage have you planned exactly? This could help with the selection.

For additional information:
Ikea PAX modules are available in the following heights:
- 201 cm (standard)
- 236 cm (tall)
The modules come in standardized depths (35 cm or 58 cm) and widths (50, 75, 100 cm).
It is technically possible to place two PAX wardrobes of different heights side by side, as the modules are self-supporting and stable. However, some visual aspects should be considered, such as the base height (usually 10 cm (4 inches)), to ensure a seamless appearance.
The manufacturer does not offer special combination systems designed specifically for placing differently sized models next to each other. Therefore, it is up to you to harmonize the look using accessories (e.g., cover panels, adjustable bases).
This combination is generally feasible and often used to fill spaces with room elements of varying heights. There are no known technical installation issues.

Hello everyone,
Here is a brief overview of how to technically and visually combine two PAX units of different heights:
1. Selecting the modules:
- Make sure that the heights of 201 cm (79 inches) and 236 cm (93 inches) are indeed the only heights available in the PAX system.
- Check whether the fronts are available in both heights or if you need to use doors from different series.
2. Installation:
- Since the units stand independently, you can place them side by side as you like.
- To maintain a uniform front appearance, you can install a cover panel on top of the shorter unit so the lines flow smoothly.
3. Visual adjustments:
- Adjust the plinth (baseboard) height if the floor level differs, using different plinth heights as needed.
- Avoid using different colors or front textures if you want a consistent look.
Summary: There are no “official” two-height components sold as a set, but the PAX system is flexible enough to combine different heights easily and effectively.
Good luck with your project!

You often see this: “I’ll put two wardrobes next to each other, one tall, one short.” But it frequently ends up looking unfinished or mismatched. There are even people who do this intentionally to create a dynamic, yet rather chaotic appearance.
Officially, there is no particular design for combining two differently sized PAX wardrobes that fits perfectly together. It’s more a matter of personal taste and a good eye for aesthetics.
One shouldn’t have too high expectations—there is no perfectly seamless connection between the different heights. If maximum harmony is desired, it’s better to stick to one height.
