Hello everyone,
I am currently planning a new wardrobe and am very interested in the versatile options offered by the IKEA PAX system. My specific question is: Are there options within the IKEA PAX wardrobes that allow you to customize the interior elements individually, tailored to your specific needs and room conditions, or even have them specially made?
I would particularly like to know if IKEA itself offers such customized interior components, or if you only have to choose from the prefabricated modules. Additionally, I am interested in whether there are third-party providers who manufacture or adapt custom interior fittings specifically designed for the PAX frame.
I would appreciate any experiences, detailed advice, or tips on planning and implementing such customizations with PAX. Thank you in advance!

derrick348 Jul 2022 19:03IKEA officially offers only pre-made interior components for the PAX wardrobes. Custom adjustments need to be done by yourself or by finding third-party providers who offer suitable solutions.
For very specific requirements, it is often worthwhile to have a custom design made by a carpenter.

For clarification:
This reflects the current situation. IKEA sells standardized interior fittings that can be combined modularly but does not provide truly custom-made components within the PAX system.
Basically, the PAX system is designed to be very flexible, but the interior elements are limited to the sets available in the catalog or online. Custom-made interiors in the traditional sense—meaning exactly according to precise measurements or individual components not in the product range—are not offered.
However, there are specialized third-party providers and carpentry workshops that focus on creating custom interiors for PAX frames, sometimes even with higher-quality materials and more precise engineering, such as tailored drawer inserts, wardrobe lighting, or special mounts.
If you have very specific requirements, the recommended approach is to:
- Purchase the PAX basic frames from IKEA
- Have the interior fitted by external companies
This is the common practice.

Hello,
I can provide a more detailed explanation here.
The PAX system is truly very flexible. However, IKEA clearly focuses on modular components that can be combined in width, height, and interior layout, but only within the existing product range.
There is no direct option to order IKEA PAX wardrobes with fully custom interior elements.
Maybe this overview helps:
- IKEA offers a wide variety of interior components: shelves, hanging rods, drawers, hanging organizers, etc.
- These are standardized, system-compatible, and not specifically tailored to custom dimensions outside of the system
- For special requirements—for example, unique compartment sizes, unusual drawer depths, or installations in awkward niches—you either have to modify them yourself or have them customized by external providers
That matches my experience. Especially if you value high-quality materials and special functionalities, it’s worth combining IKEA PAX as a base frame with custom interiors from external professionals.
I hope this helps with your decision.
