ᐅ Which combinations of IKEA Platsa units provide the maximum storage capacity?

Hello everyone,

I am planning to reorganize my home using IKEA Platsa furniture and want to make the most of the available storage space. I am especially interested in which combinations and modular options from the Platsa system you would recommend for efficiently furnishing both small and large rooms.

I am considering variations between tall cabinets, low units, and the different doors, drawers, and baskets available. What is the best way to create a solution that remains flexible while providing as much storage space as possible?

Are there any clever tips or lesser-known modules that offer especially large capacity?

I look forward to your experiences and recommendations!

It is best to use tall Platsa units with many narrow drawers, and you can increase the vertical storage space by adding extra shelves inside.

Hello LION43,

your question is very well formulated because you focus on maximizing flexibility and storage utilization.

I recommend combining the storage units as follows:
- Tall cabinets, at least up to the ceiling, as this uses volume that is often otherwise lost.
- Alternate between different door or front types (drawers, doors, baskets), since various items require different amounts of space.
- For flexible sizing, metal baskets that can be easily pulled out are especially practical.
- Use the 60cm (24 inches) width units in height to store larger items.

If you also combine the modules side by side, you can create tailor-made solutions for niches.

What is your exact room dimension? Then I can provide you with even more precise advice.

I prefer tall modules with many drawers. You can stack items well, and the drawers provide better organization than open shelves.

Cool topic! 😎 I love filling my storage space with baskets – they’re really practical for stuff you need to take out often but don’t want lying around.

My tip: Combine baskets with shelves and doors for a mixed look. This way, it doesn’t just look like storage but also feels homely.

Also: Place a (decorative) board or plants on top of taller units to make the storage area feel a bit more inviting.

Use primarily the 60x40x128 cm (24x16x50 inches) modules. They are great for combining and provide good space for folders and boxes.
