ᐅ Which Ikea Pax configurations are suitable for small apartments?

Created on: 6 Jan 2018 09:12

I am planning to furnish my small bedroom with an IKEA PAX wardrobe but have very limited space in terms of both width and depth. My question is: Which PAX options—especially regarding depth, width, and height—are best suited for very small apartments to maximize storage space without overwhelming the room? Additionally, I am interested in whether narrower but taller models are preferable, or if shallower, less deep wardrobes are more practical for everyday use. Are there any recommendations for door types and interior fittings specifically for small spaces?

Based on your experience, are there clear advantages to a height of 201 cm (79 inches) compared to 236 cm (93 inches)? The additional cost and construction effort are higher—does the extra vertical space really make a difference in small rooms? Or does the slightly lower option already provide enough storage with minimal visual impact?

The 236 cm (93 inches) version makes sense if you want storage space up to the ceiling and don’t have steps or other restrictions. In rooms with low ceilings or limited space, the 201 cm (79 inches) option often looks more balanced because the cabinet appears less overpowering. Additionally, assembly is easier and the price is lower. Whether the extra storage is used depends on the way you use the space – many hardly fill the top sections.

If you don’t want to use the entire room height up to the ceiling, 201 cm (79 inches) is sufficient. It saves budget and looks better in small rooms.

Additionally, it is worth paying attention to the cupboard depths: 35 cm (14 inches) is sufficient for sweaters, shirts, and individual clothing items. For coats or larger items, the 58 cm (23 inches) option is better, although it often appears too wide in small apartments.

For shoes and accessories, you can also use shoe basket inserts. They save space and keep things organized.

One small tip: consider whether you want doors with mirrors. They make small rooms appear larger and save space by eliminating the need for an additional mirror.
