Hello everyone, I am currently planning to equip my wardrobe with a custom-configured Ikea Pax system. I am especially interested in the doors, as they not only play a visual role but also need to be functional according to my requirements. My question is: Which Ikea Pax doors are currently the most popular, considering material, design, and functionality? Are there doors that have proven particularly reliable in terms of durability, ease of maintenance, or integration? I would appreciate any specific experiences, assessments, and tips for selection.
The currently popular Ikea PAX doors can be roughly divided into three categories: - Glass doors (especially with frames in white or black) - Doors with mirrors (mainly for bedrooms) - Matte wood or lacquer fronts, for example in white or anthracite.
Glass and mirror doors rank first and second in popularity, as they visually enhance the space and are practical for everyday use.
It is important to regularly maintain the surfaces of glass versions with suitable cleaners to avoid scratches.
For ease of maintenance, matte lacquer fronts are recommended, as they are more resistant to fingerprints.
Many users pay particular attention to durability when it comes to hinges and handles, but this primarily concerns the PAX system overall and not the doors alone. In summary, mirror and glass doors currently perform best in terms of popularity and functionality.

It largely depends on the room you want to furnish. Mirrored doors are great for bedrooms or dressing rooms, whereas especially durable matte doors are better suited for hallways or children's rooms.
When it comes to glass doors, you should also pay attention to the glazing: there is clear and frosted glass – frosted glass looks more elegant and provides greater privacy.
The design of the handles is also an important factor, as they can significantly influence the overall appearance. For a more modern look, handleless doors with a push-to-open mechanism are often preferred, while traditional handles create a more classic feel.

For better clarity, here is a structured summary of the currently most popular PAX doors:
- Mirror doors
- Advantages: visually enlarges the room, practical for dressing
- Disadvantages: requires maintenance, as fingerprints become visible quickly
- Glass doors (clear or frosted)
- Advantages: modern design, easy visual access
- Disadvantages: fragile, requires regular cleaning
- Matte fronts (painted or foil)
- Advantages: low maintenance, durable
- Disadvantages: more limited color options compared to glass or mirror
A small tip: doors with tip-on mechanisms do not have handles, which gives a more modern look.
Many users now combine multiple door types, for example, mirror doors alongside matte painted doors for more visual variety. It is also important that the doors match the interior design and intended use.
I hope this helps with your decision.
