Hello everyone, I need your help and/or inspiration.

... what Minni doesn’t do right away, Hansi never does.

This is how it went with our wardrobe, a storage space under the stairs, somewhat poorly executed by the general contractor (stairs visible, no sealing done, drywall installer was not aware of the task, plasterer botched it, and the stair builder left marks on the walls).
We didn’t even paint it 😳
After 7 years, we finally want to tackle it. Unfortunately, I notice my patience for planning is running out. What I usually managed over weeks now annoys me. According to my husband, everything can stay as it has been for the last years.
Unfortunately, I didn’t know about Pax and its dimensions back then – so now I have to improvise. I don’t really mind, but everything should fit.
Considering the workload, an IKEA shelf system is an option; in terms of feel and comfort, the Ivar series.
At 80cm (31.5 inches) wide and 30cm (12 inches) deep, four pairs of my husband’s shoes fit. My shoes are narrower, but some are taller.

Question: can you think of another system right away? (no cube systems, no rattling metal, no plastic) IKEA has become quite confusing nowadays – Billy is not deep enough...

It should fit in the space:

- 28 pairs of shoes would be great
- at least 60cm (24 inches) usable hanging rod
- shelf space for backpack (daily) and bag/handbag (weekly) + 10 more bags 😎... hehe, that was a joke... 😀 although... 😳
- basket or drawer for scarves
- drawer for sports gear (headphones, phone holder, belts, bandages)
- drawer for shoe cleaning supplies
Not everything needs to be reachable with one hand; I can also imagine a serving trolley or stool in the middle for some things.

Question: hanging rod on the left or at the front? Shoes on the left or at the front? Do you have a favorite layout? Show your clothing cave 🙂

A few photos are still missing:

Open wardrobe with coats and jackets on a hanging rod, shoes on shelves.


Shoe rack with sneakers and boots, next to white storage cubes with clothes and a hat.


Wardrobe storage: coats hanging on the left, light wall in the middle, orange box on the right.


Orange box with spray can on a washing machine; coat hanging on the left, shoes below.


Metal clothes rack lying flat on beige tiles; coat hanging on it.

3D office scene: person in blue top sitting at wooden table, clothes rack on the left, green chair.

A suggestion: Ivar shelving unit at 180cm (71 inches) height,

3D scene of a shop: empty shelving structure with two baskets on top, man in blue standing in front of the shelf

Another experiment: use an existing red Faktum cabinet, 120cm (47 inches) wide, with shelves above, but quite tricky to install the whole setup?!

Depending on your budget, I might have something for you.
However, I’m not able to start private conversations yet.

Can you write that out? Like the full word? 😉 We are now stuck on a rail system, which I would like to equip with stained wooden shelves. Budget???? What’s that? 😱 😀

Maybe this would be a good fit for you. Quite customized and not as expensive as in Germany.
That’s where we bought our built-in wardrobes.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work the other way around either. You need to write more often... I think it works at 150 (both).
But thank you very much – I will take a look.
