ᐅ Is it possible to combine the Ikea Pax wardrobe modularly across multiple rooms?

Hello everyone,
I have a somewhat specific question about the Ikea Pax wardrobe: Is it possible to combine the individual modules of this wardrobe in a way that they are not only within a single room but also spatially separated across multiple rooms? Specifically, I’m interested in whether the Pax modules are compatible to be linked modularly and functionally across two or three rooms in a household – basically a kind of wardrobe system that extends over several rooms while still functioning as a unit.
I’m curious both about the mechanical connection (can the modules be connected if they are located somewhat apart?) and the organizational/design aspect (do the design and storage space fit together well?).
This option appeals to me because I live in a narrow space with several small rooms, which I would still like to visually and functionally integrate in parts.
Thanks for your opinions and experiences!

I think your project could also be approached as a "visual bridge." You can keep the Pax units in Room 1 and Room 2 in the same style—same color, handles, maybe even the same interior fittings—and create the impression that they belong together, even if they stand separately.

A mechanical connection between rooms seems impractical to me. You also have to consider doors, walls, and so on. Of course, you can create something visually appealing!

Maybe you could see it like this:
- Multiple rooms with identical or very similar Pax units
- Consistent color scheme and lighting
- Functionally separate wardrobes

And if you really want a connection, it’s better achieved through decoration or furnishing rather than screws.
