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?

- Depth 35cm (14 inches)
- Height 201cm (79 inches) for ease of assembly and spatial effect
- Sliding doors to save space
- Interior fittings suited for mixed use with adjustable shelves
- Option for mirrored doors to enhance the visual space
Do you have any final advice on what to definitely consider during planning, especially when combining the PAX with other furniture in a tight space?

It is important to check the exact room dimensions and to consider windows, door openings, and radiators when taking measurements. Since sliding doors require additional space on the sides for the tracks, allow at least a 5 cm (2 inches) clearance on the outside. When organizing the interior, avoid overfilling to prevent blocking the doors. Also, pay attention to the wall attachment, which is especially important for safety with tall cabinets.
