Hello everyone,

I am currently looking into the IKEA Platsa system and wondering if there is any special accessory available for this modular wardrobe system that can be added later on, for example to increase storage space or improve organization. My specific question is: Are there retrofit accessories for IKEA PLATSA that go beyond the standard furniture, such as additional shelves, special inserts, fittings, or organization systems from IKEA or third-party suppliers that integrate well with PLATSA? I am especially looking for tips and advice based on experience about which solutions really work and where to find them. Thank you in advance!

Hello,

there are several retrofit options for IKEA PLATSA, both from IKEA itself and from third-party suppliers. IKEA offers, for example, additional shelves, various interior organizers (drawer inserts), and lighting systems that are directly compatible.

In addition, you can find various modular organizers online that can be customized to the exact internal dimensions. These are often made of plastic or wood and provide extra storage space or better use of individual compartments.

A tip: pay attention to the exact measurements, as PLATSA’s width and depth can slightly differ from other standards. This can sometimes make it challenging to find third-party accessories.

In addition to Lotizar:

- IKEA now offers a range of drawer inserts and dividers for PLATSA, which can be used flexibly.
- Additional doors or new fronts can often be purchased separately to change the appearance or to install fronts with glass panels.
- For special functions such as light strips or power outlet modules, IKEA provides suitable plug-and-play solutions.

However, be aware: Not all accessories compatible with PLATSA are always available everywhere.

If you are looking for something specific, it is recommended to inquire directly at the IKEA store or by phone.

I completely understand how important good organization inside a closet is. With PLATSA, a flexible drawer organizer really helped me keep small items like keys and charging cables neatly stored.

However, I found it a bit challenging to figure out which accessories actually fit, since the dimensions are not exactly standard. For me, exchanging information with other users in this forum was very helpful.

If you like, I can share which organizers I bought and where I got them.

That sounds very useful, thanks. Would you say these inserts are from IKEA or third-party suppliers? And how easy was the installation?

I’m considering whether to just go to IKEA and try to find something suitable in their range, or to go directly for third-party options that might fit better or have higher quality.

I can well understand how uncertain people can feel when choosing accessories for PLATSA.

A few months ago, I bought several accessories directly from IKEA, including shelves and drawer inserts. Installation was very easy thanks to the clear instructions, and the quality was quite satisfactory.

On the other hand, I quickly became skeptical about third-party products because some did not fit well or simply did not match the PLATSA dimensions.

Later, I also experimented with DIY solutions (e.g., shelf inserts made from MDF), but that requires more craftsmanship.

My advice: Unless you need something very unusual, IKEA accessories are usually the best place to start.
