Hello everyone, I am planning to create a practical corner solution using IKEA Pax wardrobes and would appreciate it if you could share your experiences and tips!

My challenge is to place two wardrobe units optimally in a room corner, where the wardrobes cannot be positioned directly next to each other because there is a radiator and pipes running through the corner. Additionally, I want to design the interior layout to efficiently use hanging rods and shelves without wasting space.

Do you have suggestions on how to best combine the standard Pax wardrobes or perhaps incorporate special corner elements? I am also open to tips on utilizing ceiling height and accessories to maximize storage capacity.

I look forward to your practical advice, especially regarding stability, installation, and the exact measurements that should be considered. Thanks in advance!

The issue with securing to the wall and floor is really critical because the cabinets can be quite heavy and fully loaded.

That is absolutely correct and often underestimated. I recommend planning all fixing points before installation and choosing the appropriate anchors for the wall type (concrete, drywall, etc.).

Another tip: if the corner is tight, flexible corner connectors can be used between the Pax modules to minimize movement.

Additionally, using small spacers to offset the back of the cabinets from the wall helps compensate for uneven surfaces.

Using high-quality tools during assembly makes the process easier and ensures long-lasting secure connections.

Corner solutions with Pax are like a good slice of pizza – sometimes you need a slight angle to evenly distribute all the ingredients 🍕😉.

Seriously: shift the modules slightly so the doors don’t collide, and remember that the interior fittings should be as flexible as your taste buds. Use adjustable shelves and clothes rails that can be adapted to your needs.

And don’t be afraid of installation – it’s twice as fun with a friend, and a small DIY project adds some spice to everyday life! Enjoy building!
