Hello 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!

Hello sinothmar and everyone interested,
I’ll summarize here in a structured way what works especially well for small bedrooms using Ikea Pax wardrobes:
- Width: 50 cm (20 inches) modules are the most space-efficient option, well suited for narrow rooms or as an addition to larger modules.
- Depth: 35 cm (14 inches) depth offers less storage for hanging clothes, but works excellently for folded clothes, shoe shelves, or baskets.
- Doors: Sliding bar doors are highly recommended, as they save a lot of space since no clearance is needed to open them. However, they require a minimum height—so pay attention to the overall wardrobe height.
- Interior fittings: I suggest a smart mix of pull-out baskets, shelves, and narrow clothes rails to make the space very flexible.
Common mistake: Many underestimate the space needed to open the doors and move around. Plan for at least 60 cm (24 inches) of clearance in front of the wardrobe.
For assembly: Take your time, as the Pax modules are easy to put together if you follow the step-by-step instructions carefully.
I hope this helps! If you have exact measurements, I’d be happy to assist in designing a specific setup.
