Hello everyone,
I am currently planning the setup of my bedroom and am considering the Ikea Pax wardrobe. My question is, which Pax variants or solutions do you find especially space-saving and functional?
Specifically, I mean types or modules of wardrobes that fit well in small rooms without compromising on interior fittings or storage capacity. Are there preferred widths, depths, or particular layout concepts that have proven effective in tight spaces?
It is also important for me to know if certain wardrobe types are better suited when there is limited space under the ceiling, or if there are clever hanging solutions or flexible interior arrangements that make optimal use of the space.
I look forward to your experiences and tips, including any advice on common mistakes to avoid with Pax in small rooms.
Thanks in advance!

I would say that for small rooms, the 35cm (14 inches) deep options are the most suitable. They are shallower and take up less space.
Additionally, the narrow widths (50cm / 20 inches) save space without completely giving up storage capacity.
Hanging solutions with Pax are rarely practical, as the weight becomes too heavy.

Hello Teoman,
your question is very good and covers several aspects, so I will go through them step by step:
- Depth selection: The standard depth for Pax is 58 cm (23 inches), which provides plenty of storage space but can quickly dominate in small rooms. The 35 cm (14 inches) deep models are particularly space-saving; however, you should keep in mind that clothes hangers, for example, cannot be used ideally (regular shirts or jackets do not fit properly).
- Widths: Pax offers wardrobe widths mostly in 50 cm (20 inches), 75 cm (30 inches), 100 cm (39 inches), and 150 cm (59 inches). For narrow rooms, 50 or 75 cm (20 or 30 inches) wide units are more suitable, and you can combine these depending on the available space.
- Height: The maximum height is 236 cm (93 inches), which often fills the room completely. Especially when ceiling height is limited, there are also 201 cm (79 inches) high options (or you can adjust to a lower height) that fit better into lower spaces.
- Storage optimization: Use internal organization like drawers, baskets, and shelves. Drawers are particularly helpful in smaller, narrower cabinets to make the most of the storage space.
- Common issues: Avoid overly deep wardrobes in small room areas that block walkways. Many users also struggle with installing internal elements, especially in narrow models, so be sure to install the parts precisely.
Summary:
For small rooms, I recommend the 35 cm (14 inches) depth, combine narrow widths (50 cm / 20 inches), and focus on careful internal organization to use the space optimally.
If you have questions about shelves or drawers, I can provide more information.

As a result, the focus often shifts toward additional drawers or shelves that provide more detailed and flexible storage options.
- If you often need to store jackets and coats "hanging," it is better to plan for a depth of about 58 cm (23 inches).
- Simple, compact doors or even sliding doors also help save space because they do not require extra clearance when opened.
Furthermore, it is advisable to make the most of the wall height by using vertically arranged storage instead of wide horizontal space, to maximize the available storage capacity.
Conclusion: For limited room sizes, depth, width, door type, and internal layout significantly affect space utilization; the 35 cm (14 inches) option is especially suitable for tight movement space, provided the storage concept is adjusted accordingly.
