Hello everyone, I would like to know if there are options for Ikea Pax wardrobes with sliding doors. In my research, I mostly found regular hinged doors and wonder if there are special versions or accessories that allow sliding doors to be used. This would be of interest to me because I have limited space in my room to open doors, making sliding doors more practical. Perhaps someone here is familiar with the Pax system and can provide a detailed answer. Thanks in advance!
Hey elinorse! 🙂 Yes, there are definitely Ikea Pax wardrobes with sliding doors! I have one at home myself and I’m really impressed with it. The sliding doors are very convenient, especially when space is limited. You can buy the matching sliding door fronts for the Pax system directly from Ikea, available in various designs and colors. Assembly is quite manageable for someone with DIY skills, and it’s definitely worth it. Don’t be put off by the regular doors; sliding doors are available! Good luck with your planning, I can only recommend it!!!
Honestly, I think the sliding doors for Ikea Pax wardrobes are a bit overrated. Sure, they exist, but they are often bulkier and more expensive than regular doors. Also, the wardrobe requires more depth because the doors need space for the sliding tracks. For small rooms, sliding doors don’t necessarily offer a better solution, since at least one sliding track still needs to remain free. Maybe it’s worth skipping the effort and simply creating better access with smart space planning. Just my opinion!

the issue with sliding doors on Ikea Pax is somewhat overrated Interesting perspective! Could you explain a bit more about the space problem? I actually thought sliding doors had more advantages, especially in tight spaces, since the door panels don’t swing into the room.
Also, Davidleo, I’m curious: are there any limitations with sliding doors, for example regarding the wardrobe width or design options? I’ve only found a few sliding door choices online, and they usually look rather bulky.

Are there any restrictions with the sliding doors, for example regarding the width of the closet or the design? Yes, there are indeed some limitations: Sliding doors are typically available for certain widths (usually 100 cm (40 inches) and above), with smaller widths being less common. In terms of design, there are several options – simple flat fronts, mirrored doors, or with crystal elements. The doors do not appear bulkier than regular fronts, just narrower in depth. The running tracks are sturdy but require some time to install. If you have any questions, I’m happy to help! 😊
As an addition: Ikea does offer sliding door options for the Pax wardrobe, which are mounted using track brackets. It is important to pay attention to the maximum width and weight specified by the manufacturer. The room height should also be suitable, as the sliding doors cover entire fronts. If space is limited, it is advisable to carefully measure beforehand and check whether the doors can slide smoothly. A helpful tip is to read through the installation instructions, as the sliding doors are mounted quite differently compared to regular doors.
