Hello everyone, I’m looking for a practical and sturdy way to add extra hooks to my Ikea Pax wardrobe. The goal is to create more flexibility for hanging bags, scarves, or belts without compromising the overall stability or the existing appearance. It’s also important to me that the hooks are easy to install, ideally without making major modifications to the Pax itself. Does anyone have experience or recommendations on which type of hooks work best and how to attach them securely to the wardrobe? Thanks in advance for your advice!

I want to create more flexibility for hanging bags, scarves, or belts without compromising maximum stability or the existing appearance.From a technical perspective, I recommend stainless steel screw hooks, as they are rust-resistant and strong. Positioning is important: the side panels are likely the best option and can handle the load. To preserve the look, you could choose small hooks installed on the inside, making them barely visible when the doors are closed.
Alternatively, specialized clamp or rail systems that do not require screws can be used, but these tend to be more expensive and less flexible. As a general rule: always check before drilling whether there are any connectors near the side panel that reinforce the cabinet—this helps to avoid weakening the structure.
