Hello everyone,
I am planning to install IKEA Platsa cabinets in my apartment, but I am facing the issue that some walls are quite uneven due to the attic conversion. My specific question is: How can I securely and attractively mount the Platsa cabinets when the walls are not straight?
Are there special techniques, adjustments, or additional components that should be used to firmly fix the cabinets to such angled walls? I prefer to avoid makeshift solutions that might cause problems or look unattractive later on.
Thank you in advance for your experience and advice!

Great topic! I can only encourage you – the Platsa cabinets are incredibly versatile!
I also had a significant slope in my attic apartment and chose the following solution:
- I built a substructure from wooden battens that was fully attached to the wall. This allowed me to precisely compensate for the slant and mount the cabinet on top.
- In the end, it looked quite professional, and I simply painted the wooden battens in the same color as the wall so they were not visible.
- Tip: Use mounting brackets inside the cabinet to better connect it to the substructure. This provides extra stability!
It’s definitely worth investing some time and care to achieve a very stable and visually appealing result!
