sinothmar12 Jun 2017 08:37Hello everyone,
I am currently looking for a suitable Ikea Pax wardrobe solution for my small bedroom. Since the room size is quite limited, I especially want to know which Pax options work best in small spaces without making the room feel more cramped or sacrificing storage capacity.
It is important to me that the solution is as compact as possible while still offering enough storage for clothes, shoes, and accessories. What widths and depths are recommended here? Are there practical internal fittings or combinations that make the best use of the available space in small bedrooms? And what about the doors – sliding doors save space, but what has been your experience with their handling in tight rooms?
I look forward to specific tips and user experiences, including recommendations for assembly kits or preferred combinations. Thanks in advance!

Hey sinothmar!
Your question is right on topic – I recently remodeled my small bedroom with Pax and I’m really happy with it! 😊
I especially recommend the narrow Pax models with a width of 50 cm (20 inches). They save a lot of space but still offer plenty of storage thanks to clever interior fittings. For example, I combined Komplement drawers and shelves, which really helps keep things organized.
Doors: Sliding doors are great when space is tight! They glide quietly and let you stand in front of the wardrobe without needing space to open the doors. Just watch out for ceiling height, as sliding doors require a bit more clearance above.
A small tip: The modules can be combined very flexibly. A mix of 50 cm (20 inches) and 75 cm (30 inches) widths gave me exactly the versatility I needed. Go for it – it’s fun, and assembly is easier than you might think! Good luck!

Brief and to the point:
- 50cm (20 inches) wide Pax wardrobes take up little space, fitting well in small rooms.
- Sliding doors save space when opening.
- A depth of 35cm (14 inches) is often sufficient, saving room.
- Interior fittings with pull-out baskets are good for storage.

Hello sinothmar,
to answer your request in detail, it is important to analyze the room dimensions and intended use as precisely as possible. For the small bedroom, a minimum depth of 35 cm (14 inches) for Pax modules is generally recommended to improve space efficiency. The standard depth of 58 cm (23 inches) is practical for many clothes and baskets but can quickly block the hallway or movement area in tight spaces.
Regarding widths, 50 cm (20 inches) wide modules are particularly suitable, as they combine well with 75 cm (30 inches) modules without crowding the room. A mix of several 50 cm (20 inches) cabinets is possible, which also simplifies the setup and allows flexible adaptation to different corners of the room.
The door type is also crucial. Rod sliding doors save a lot of space compared to hinged doors, but keep in mind that they can be difficult to install with a depth of only 35 cm (14 inches). The interior organization can be precisely customized to individual needs using complementary system modules, such as pull-out baskets, shelves, and drawers.
Furthermore, it is best to utilize the space above the Pax, for example, with overhead cabinets or open shelves, if the ceiling height allows. If the bedroom is extremely small, combinations with integrated mirrors on the doors could visually enlarge the space.
I am interested: what are your exact room dimensions and which items do you want to store in it? Then more precise recommendations can be made.

praWarre6912 Jun 2017 15:58I agree with the praise for sliding doors—they really are a game changer in small rooms! 😎 Another great tip is using light colors and reflective surfaces on wardrobes, which instantly make the space feel more open.
A 50cm (20 inch) wide Pax wardrobe is almost like a magic trick because you can fit it into spots where nothing else would work. Add a few well-organized baskets for socks and small items, and you have a minimalist storage miracle.
And hey, sometimes it’s worth looking beyond just the width and considering how to arrange multiple modules side by side. Stay flexible and avoid thinking too big. This way, your small bedroom definitely won’t feel cramped!

Good morning,
I would like to add that for small rooms, besides choosing the Pax modules, it is important to consider the room layout. It's not very practical to select a cabinet that is too large if it significantly restricts access to a window or door.
A practical option is to choose a solution that combines both a clothes rail and shelves. This makes use flexible and allows for better separation of different types of clothing.
If you have many shoes, the Komplement pull-out baskets are great and can fit perfectly in the 50 cm (20 inches) modules. With a depth of 35 cm (14 inches), however, you need to carefully consider which garments you hang there – jackets or coats usually only fit in wider modules.
If you like, I can create a small example plan based on your measurements!
