ParglaHello everyone, I am currently considering getting a new wardrobe and am thinking about Ikea Pax. My main question is: Which Ikea Pax wardrobes offer the best storage for clothing, especially regarding different storage options such as hanging rails, shelves, and drawers? I’m interested in how to best configure these models to store as much clothing as possible in an organized and space-saving way, even when wanting to store shirts, pants, sweaters, and smaller items separately. Are there specific versions or practical tips on the best combinations depending on different room sizes? Thank you in advance for your experiences and recommendations!
Regarding the question of which Ikea Pax wardrobes offer the best storage space for clothing, I can summarize the following points clearly:
- In general, the Pax door frames with a height of 236 cm (93 inches) provide more storage space than the 201 cm (79 inches) version, if the ceiling height allows it.
- The 100 cm (39 inches) width is the most flexible, as it fits various interior fittings optimally.
- For maximum space optimization, a combination of clothes rods at different heights (separating shirts/pants and long garments) along with shelves and deep drawers is recommended.
- Drawers, which come in different depths, are especially practical for accessories and smaller clothing items.
- For better organization, it is useful to divide the interior into compartments with dividers to structure the space more efficiently.
Depending on the room situation, combining multiple wardrobes with different interior fittings also makes sense. The modular Pax systems support this very well.

I would like to delve a bit deeper into the technical aspects and best possible interior furnishings of the Ikea Pax wardrobes, specifically regarding storage for clothing:
- The standard Pax frames come in heights of 201 cm (79 inches) and 236 cm (93 inches) as well as widths of 50 cm (20 inches), 75 cm (30 inches), and 100 cm (39 inches). For clothes that are not hung, 100 cm (39 inches) wide wardrobes offer more design flexibility, while 50 cm (20 inches) often feels too narrow for comprehensive clothing storage.
- Keep in mind that the wardrobe interior depth is 58 cm (23 inches). Hanging clothes need about 45 cm (18 inches) of depth to accommodate hangers.
- For shirts and shorter garments, two hanging rods one above the other are best, which can be attached using the designated side hooks. This doubles the hanging storage space within the same footprint.
- Long clothing like coats can be stored in sections with a single, higher-placed hanging rod.
- The Pax drawers come in different heights (e.g., 14 cm (6 inches), 21 cm (8 inches)), which is important when organizing items like sweaters or underwear. Drawers can be placed anywhere, even behind doors, maximizing space utilization.
- As an additional tip: using shelves and internal pull-out systems (such as boxes with drawers) significantly improves organization and increases usable storage space.
- Of course, combining these with doors like sliding doors saves space in smaller rooms.

Oh, this topic is really exciting! About six months ago, I purchased a Pax wardrobe from Ikea with a height of 236 cm (93 inches) and a width of 100 cm (39 inches). I combined the following interior fittings:
- A single long hanging rail at the top for coats
- Below that, two shorter hanging rails stacked for shirts and trousers
- Integrated drawers on the right, perfect for underwear and sweaters
- Several shelves for folded jeans and T-shirts
I love how flexible the system is! Especially the fully extendable drawers, which make the wardrobe very organized. I definitely recommend choosing the maximum height if your ceiling allows it. You gain so much storage space that would otherwise go unused!
And don’t worry, assembly goes smoothly if you take your time. Such a flexible system is just great!

Depending on the room layout, combining several wardrobes with different interior fittings can also be practical.I would like to add: If you really need a lot of storage space, it is often more effective to choose several narrow wardrobes about 50 cm (20 inches) wide, each with a customized interior, rather than opting for one very wide wardrobe. This approach allows more flexibility in using the space and enables you to store different types of clothing separately.
Additionally, in smaller rooms, using sliding doors can help avoid space issues caused by door openings.
In summary, depending on the available space, I recommend:
- Tall wardrobe frames (236 cm / 7 ft 9 in) when ceiling height permits
- A combination of hanging rods at various heights plus drawers
- Using multiple wardrobes for different categories of clothing
One important question: How much clothing do you plan to store? This significantly influences the best configuration.
