It provides a perfect base to build your design on. The Pax range is flexible and pretty much meets most basic requirements. You can configure it as you wish, adding different combinations to create your fitted wardrobe. Its not just amateur IKEA hackers that are taking advantage of this, established interior designers are also fully working with this trend. Some of the end results are staggeringly good…in some cases, you would never guess that an IKEA Pax closet system was the base of their creation. You will find some of these IKEA Pax wardrobe ideas below.
Your IKEA wardrobe can be given a custom look in many ways. The IKEA Pax system is essentially the interior of the wardrobe frame, delivering perfect closet space alongside a robust build. The exterior is where the custom look takes place. For some, it is a case of decorating the doors, be it adding mirrors, a sliding door or simply changing the color. In more custom examples, you see the addition of crown molding, slats, mirrored doors, baseboard and trim. Custom handles are also applied to the drawers. When put together, you end up with a very premium look that could easily be mistaken for a custom build.
This hack is similar to the IKEA Billy bookcase hack, where the custom look is achieved in a very similar manner. Consider adding them to your pantry.
It really depends on the size of the wardrobe required to house all your clothes. In most cases, with all things being equal, it is cheaper to build upon a IKEA closet system base than a custom organized closet. The reason is that it saves a lot of time when building the base of the closet and the interior. This time saving is translated into labor cost savings.
The main materials used are fibreboard, particleboard, ABS plastic and polypropylene plastic. The interiors of the Pax system can be added to through the IKEA Komplement series. At least 50%, in terms of the weight of this product is made from renewable materials.
Yes, you can cut the IKEA Pax unit as they are made of fibreboard and particleboard. However, you should look to avoid it where you can as the surface can get damaged and there is no guarantee of a ‘clean’ cut.
Yes you can, but the surface of the IKEA Pax makes it difficult. There is a process involved to get a nice finish. I wrote a post on painting kitchen cupboards a while back that is applicable here. Essentially, it involves and lot of preparation, priming, sanding and a few coats of the final paint color.
