Hello everyone,
I am currently planning my new storage concept using the IKEA Platsa system and am looking for the most efficient combinations that offer the greatest volume. It is important for me to understand how to sensibly combine different widths, heights, and depths to maximize the available space—especially in narrow niches or under sloped ceilings.
I am particularly interested in experiences with smart space utilization options, such as using different module heights or depths within one unit, combinations of drawers, doors, and open compartments, as well as any tips on stability for taller constructions.
Which PLATSA combinations have you used or know of that provide especially large storage capacity? Are there tested solutions for more complex room conditions? I am very much looking forward to your suggestions, including pros and cons of specific setups.
Thank you in advance!

Also: Use casters or furniture stoppers if you’re using the modules freestanding. Safety comes first!
For optimizing storage space: a mix of doors and drawers. Drawers are great for smaller items, doors for larger ones. And for open compartments, try using large boxes; it makes everything much more organized!

parMartina18 Feb 2020 14:12I have been following the discussion here with great interest, as I recently built a PLATSA combination for a sloped ceiling. What was important to me:
- Combining different heights makes optimal use of the space under the slope.
- Narrow modules of 30cm (12 inches) width fill gaps very well and create flexible storage solutions.
I found it particularly helpful to use drawers in the deeper modules to prevent lighter items from sinking down – this keeps everything tidy.
I can only confirm this, especially with sloped ceilings, as it is also a matter of safety since the incline can add extra pressure.
