Hello everyone, I am currently planning to install an Ikea Pax wardrobe in a room with a sloped ceiling. My question is how to best adapt the wardrobe to the angled wall without having to do a lot of cutting myself, while still achieving a stable and visually appealing solution. Specifically, I am interested in any methods or tricks you know to fit the Pax system neatly into attic or loft rooms – for example, special cabinet systems, different door installation options, or the use of existing accessories. I want to find a practical approach to optimize storage space without it looking like a makeshift or half-finished solution. Has anyone had experience with sloped ceilings and Pax, or can offer tips for adjustments? Thanks in advance!

For a pitched roof, I wouldn’t build everything with complicated custom cuts – a bit of space and flexibility helpsThanks for all the tips, everyone! I’m also considering leaving the top edge of the cabinets a few centimeters below the lowest slope and using the gap visually. That could help me avoid doors with complicated adjustments.
Would you recommend open or closed cabinets? I’m concerned about dust collecting under the slope with open shelves. On the other hand, it’s more work to adjust doors to fit the sloped edge. How have you handled this?

Would you recommend open or closed cabinets?That largely depends on your preferences regarding appearance and dust protection. Closed cabinets definitely offer better dust protection and look more elegant if the doors are well fitted to the slope.
- If cutting the doors is too complex, you might consider a solution with shelf rails and curtains, as long as it doesn’t have to be a classic flat-pack option.
- Alternatively, modified sliding doors are a possibility, but the installation needs to be precise.
Open shelves are simpler but, as you suspect, can easily collect dust. In the end, you should weigh how much effort you want to invest and how the cabinet will be used.
