Hello everyone, I finally want to configure a functional wardrobe closet using the Ikea Platsa system, but I am a bit uncertain about the detailed planning. My main concern is that the closet provides enough space for jackets, coats, and shoes while remaining flexible in case I want to make changes later. It should also be as compact as possible and fit well in a hallway with limited space (about 150 cm (59 inches) wide, 60 cm (24 inches) deep, 200 cm (79 inches) high).
Can you offer tips on how to ideally configure PLATSA as a wardrobe closet? Which components are essential to ensure functionality? Are there recommendations on the dimensions and modules that work especially well for this? Practical advice on assembly and how to combine hanging rods and shelves would also be very helpful.

Could you please explain how flexible the depth layout is?The Platsa modules come with a standardized depth of 60 cm (24 inches), ensuring uniformity and stability. There are no officially available modules with different depths in the range. Individual elements such as drawers or hanging rods within a module are designed to fit the 60 cm (24 inches) depth.
To achieve a different depth, you would need to modify or creatively use shelves, but this could affect the overall stability. Recommendation: stick to the standard depths for wardrobe furniture.

Make sure that if you plan hanging rods, the height is at least 120 cm (47 inches). For shoe racks at the bottom, I have had good experiences with slanted shelves, as they allow the shoes to breathe better and look nicer. The option to mix doors and other fronts is also great for customizing the wardrobe to your style.

- 2 modules, each 75cm (30 inches) wide, placed side by side
- 1 module with a hanging rod at 120cm (47 inches) height for coats
- 1 module with 3 to 4 shelves for shoes and accessories
- At the bottom, a shoe basket or an open compartment
- Optional doors for a tidy appearance
A common mistake is underestimating the height needed for coats. It’s better to allow a bit more clearance at the top, otherwise the items will hang flattened.

Also, I would recommend not overlooking baskets as an addition since they are flexible and allow you to quickly toss items in without creating a mess.
For easier handling:
- PLATSA modules are usually recommended as components measuring 75x60x200 cm (WxDxH) (approximately 30x24x79 inches),
- A hanging rod for clothes and coats,
- Shelves for shoes and small items,
- Doors optional depending on preference,
- Use the included mounting brackets for assembly to ensure stability.
