ᐅ How can additional storage space be created in IKEA PAX wardrobes?

Hello everyone,

I have a fairly spacious Ikea PAX wardrobe that I am currently using, but I notice that the storage space is not being used optimally. Therefore, my question is: How can you create additional storage space in Ikea PAX wardrobes without compromising functionality or overloading the wardrobe? I am especially interested in tips for interior organization, such as extra shelves, drawer inserts, or innovative organizing accessories. Are there any practical tricks or accessories that have proven effective? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

To create additional storage space in Ikea PAX wardrobes, I recommend the following measures:

- Use extra shelves, especially narrow ones, to better organize smaller items.
- Use drawer inserts or organizers to make more efficient use of drawer space.
- Install hanging rods at different heights to allow space above and below for various types of clothing.
- Equip the inside of doors with hooks or organizer systems, especially for accessories.

These measures optimize the available space without making the wardrobe cluttered.

I often use the tall side panels of my PAX wardrobe to install narrow shelves. This creates a lot of extra storage space for shoes or small items.

A small tip I often recommend: use mobile drawer units under cabinets instead of placing them directly on the floor. The casters provide flexibility and create more space inside the cabinet above. Plus, unloading becomes easier because everything is more accessible. This way, you make clever use of the height and storage space without having to buy a new cabinet right away.

That’s a good tip. Additionally, for PAX units, you can use the internal measurements to install custom shelves or drawers that are not part of the standard range. This deviates from the official Ikea accessories but is worthwhile for maximizing storage space.

Thanks, that already gives me an interesting idea. Are there typical dimensions to keep in mind for the interior of PAX units when customizing yourself or working with third-party suppliers? And what about the load capacity of these interior fittings?
