Hello everyone,
I am currently planning the setup for the children's room and have been focusing on the Ikea Pax wardrobes, as they are quite flexible and offer a lot of storage space. However, the room is very small (about 8 sq m (86 sq ft)), so I need to carefully consider which Pax options make sense without overwhelming the space or limiting room for play and movement.
I am particularly interested in narrower widths and possibly shallower versions. The ability to combine doors and open compartments is also important to me, in order to create child-friendly and organized storage.
Has anyone had experience with Pax models that are specifically suitable for small children's rooms and can share details about the dimensions, versions, and configuration options?
Additionally, I would be interested to know if there are any space-saving alternatives within the Pax system that still offer plenty of storage for kids’ items.
Thanks in advance!

For small rooms, a combination of 50 cm (20 inches) width, 201 cm (79 inches) height, and 58 cm (23 inches) depth makes sense.Thanks, that already helps a lot.
What about the installation and stability when combining several small 50 cm (20 inches) units? Are they easy to attach to each other, or would a single wider unit be better despite the room size?
Also, I would be interested if anyone has tips on how to arrange the cabinets in a child-friendly way so the child can access their clothes and toys as independently as possible.

How is the assembly and stability when combining several small 50 cm (20 inch) elements?The individual elements of the Pax series are well compatible with each other and can be securely connected using special hardware. Ikea provides specific connectors and assembly instructions to ensure a solid unit.
A major advantage of multiple smaller elements is flexibility, but this also increases the number of assembly steps. A single wider element is inherently more stable, but takes up more space and offers less adaptability.

how to organize the cabinets to be child-friendly so that the child can access their clothes and toys as independently as possible.For this purpose, I recommend keeping the lower compartments at a low height, possibly using simple baskets or boxes so the child can reach them independently. Clothing rods should be installed in the lower section, starting at least 60 cm (24 inches) above the floor. For toys, open shelving units with low-profile cases can be included.
I would like to add that especially in small children’s rooms, a well-planned interior layout of the Pax wardrobe is important.
In addition to the typical hanging rods, drawers and shelves can be arranged to provide space for both toys and clothes. In the lower sections, boxes or bins should be placed within easy reach of the child. This encourages independence.
Also, pay attention to the height of the hanging rods – if they are installed too high, access for small children becomes much more difficult.
