Hello everyone,
We moved into our new house at the beginning of July. At the moment, we have our old wardrobe set up in our walk-in closet.
Now I am wondering for the future whether we should get a wardrobe again or go for an open concept.
What are your experiences with dust settling on clothes?
The walk-in closet has a sliding door to the bedroom and a vent connected to our central ventilation system.
Does this help reduce dust buildup, or does it not matter whether there is a door and ventilation?
Best regards

I also use Ivar 50 units, which work well for hanging clothes on hangers. Smaller T-shirts and other compact items are folded in the fabric IKEA boxes.

In my opinion, a walkway of at least 90cm (35 inches) in front of a large wardrobe is necessary. If you have a lot of clothes, you often need to step back to get an overview. Standard wardrobes are usually 60cm (24 inches) deep. Then you need to account for the door thickness; sliding doors add to the depth, while hinged doors take up space in the walkway and are less practical. Open wardrobes without doors can also look nice. Keep in mind that wardrobes should not be placed directly against a wall. With solid walls, this can lead to mold issues. A width of 2.40m (7 feet 10 inches) is a good size for a dressing area. In my opinion, your child’s room is also wide enough, so don’t worry about that. However, the layout of the upper floor, especially the bedroom and bathroom areas, should be optimized. There are still several changes needed to address these shortcomings.

Bertram1009 Aug 2021 08:23The Ivar 50 is the best wardrobe I have ever owned: no mold issues, no plastic laminate, can be customized however you want, and it’s affordable.
I didn’t use the wardrobe rod designed for the Ivar but tied in a broomstick instead. I can easily slide it deeper or even install it at an angle, so my clothes fit well on hangers.
I don’t understand why everyone prefers to buy the Pax wardrobe. I am extremely satisfied with the Ivar.
Wardrobes with a depth of 60cm (24 inches) are too deep for me. There is unused space at the back behind the piles of clothes.

Wardrobes with a depth of 60cm (24 inches) are too deep for me. There’s empty space behind the stacks of clothes. Based on this post and your previous messages, I suspect you want to store your clothes openly and in a minimalist way. On the other hand, there are separate dressing rooms or closed wardrobes—users of these seem to prefer keeping their clothes out of sight at all times.
Due to their size, wardrobes are rarely decorative regardless of the model. We therefore prefer storing clothes in a separate area. There, Pax units are arranged in a U shape without doors (except for two mirrored doors at the front) to allow direct visibility. The whole setup is separated from the bedroom by a glass sliding door.

Closets with a depth of 60cm (24 inches) are too deep for me. There is empty space at the back behind the stacks of clothes. You can stack shirts and sweaters in two rows, one behind the other. For example, red shirts in front and blue shirts behind them. If I want to wear a blue shirt, I just slide the stack of red shirts aside.
I love Pax because it offers so many options for interior organization. For example, the section for hanging pants is great—you can see all your pants at a glance. Even better was the shoe organizer, but unfortunately, it is no longer available.
