Ikea wardrobe systems are one of the most popular in the world, as they allow you to optimally and aesthetically arrange many things. But their main advantage is that the manufacturer gives you the opportunity to arrange the blocks at your discretion, creating the ideal storage space for yourself.
If you have a large amount of clothes and shoes, the question of organizing your wardrobe immediately arises, because even a large closet may not be enough to organize all your things. Therefore, you have to take up space with additional shelves, chests of drawers and other pieces of furniture. For the convenience of storing all things, the manufacturer Ikea has developed special ergonomic wardrobe systems. Each of them has certain advantages, and today we will talk about their features.

"Stallman"
This is another ergonomic wardrobe system from Ikea, which allows you to better organize the space of a large and small room. When assembled, the length of the entire structure can be from 210 to 330 centimeters.
The basis of the wardrobe is a stand that can be installed to the wall or to the ceiling. It consists of two pipes, one of which can be moved apart to a certain distance.
The following items can be attached to this rack:
- hanger rods;
- inclined shelves for shoes that can be adjusted;
- shelves for standard clothes;
- module with mirror door.
Using special fittings, you can fix these shelves at any desired height
In addition, this type of wardrobe system requires the presence of chests of drawers. They are narrow drawers that quickly slide out on guides. At the same time, stoppers are provided to prevent the boxes from crashing into the rear wall of the structure.
Some people may think that such a wardrobe is only suitable for large rooms, but this is not at all true. If necessary, you can place these modules in the corner, and light-colored furniture does not look bulky, and at the same time makes it possible to store any things in plain sight.
Option for placing the “Stallman” wardrobe in the corner
If you have the opportunity to allocate a room for a wardrobe system, then in addition to standard racks, you can install shelves for clothes and shoes, top drawers and much more.
It is worth noting that all modules of the Stolmen wardrobe have a universal snow-white color, so such wardrobes can be used in any type of interior.

The Ophus module system is perfect for rooms of any size, including very small ones. Thanks to the presence of such cabinets, you can better arrange the interior of a bedroom, dressing room, hallway, hall, or use the space under the stairs.
The design is multifunctional
Any free area can be used from a functional point of view thanks to this ergonomic system. So, when assembled, the wardrobe can have a width from 60 to 340 centimeters, but if necessary, you can always purchase several additional modules.
The cabinets of this system have comfortable legs that can be adjusted. This feature is best suited for uneven floors. The system comes with wall fasteners, but screws and dowels will have to be purchased separately.

Ikea wardrobe designer: how to assemble a system
This is how harmonious a wardrobe system, assembled according to your own design, looks.
There are many variations on how to organize ikea wardrobe systems. Therefore, for convenience, the company’s specialists have created a special planning program. Using it, you can develop your own layout, place modules as you wish and the dimensions of the room allow.
Convenient layout of the wardrobe system in a studio apartment.
Using such software is not difficult. The following must be adhered to:
- go to the Ikea website, open the appropriate program;
- select a design, decide on the dimensions of the room and calculate the dimensions of the modules;
- make the necessary additions to your wardrobe, complement it with auxiliary functional elements.
Directly on the Ikea website you can create a project that will fit the room.
A printout of the created variation is provided, which will be convenient to use when arranging the room.
Possible difficulties that may arise during the installation of wardrobe furniture from ikea:
- When opening, the drawers touch the doors - first of all, the base of the structure should be leveled. Next, adjust the position of the doors.
- Poor movement of doors along the guide - check the markings of these parts of the structure, perhaps they were simply mixed up.
Remove them and see if everything is assembled correctly. It is possible that when installing the rollers, you did not fasten the screws securely, or one of the rollers was moved from the carrier. Check its position and adjust if necessary. Poor movement of the doors can also be caused by the fact that a foreign object could get between them. - The back wall falls off - in many Ikea wardrobe systems it is necessary to fix the back wall to the wall - this is the only way to ensure the strength of the structure and the smooth movement of the doors. If you do not plan to fix the structure to the wall, use self-tapping screws instead of nails when assembling the cabinet.
- The cabinet door is knocking - this can happen when the roller chips. Take a look, it may need to be replaced. It may also happen that the guide is clogged with dust - you should disassemble it and clean it.
To install the structure correctly, you must carefully read the instructions.
Wardrobe storage systems from Ikea are in demand due to their performance qualities. Wardrobe systems look good in any setting. They are multifunctional, roomy, and things will be stored in perfect order. The quality of the material is impressive, so the furniture will last a long time.

Multifunctionality and large capacity will allow you to store things in perfect order. And the quality of the material will allow the furniture to serve you happily for a long time.
Pax cabinets in the interior of the apartment
The variety of sizes, textures and wide range of colors of the minimalist style of Pax cabinets allows you to install them in any room of the apartment. Simple shapes and clear elements fit equally well into a strict classic interior and into modern solutions that are distinguished by originality.
Hallway
Most often, the Pax wardrobe for the corridor is ordered in darker colors (this is practical) and complemented with a mirror, but this is a matter of taste. Such furniture in the hallway is extremely useful. In a narrow closet you can compactly place outerwear, hats and shoes.

Living room
When choosing a Pax wardrobe for the living room, you should combine it with other furniture, walls and the general ambiance of the room. In the living room, both a wardrobe with hinged doors and a wardrobe with sliding doors will look equally good. Its internal configuration depends entirely on the individual needs of the owners.

Bedroom
In most cases, beige or white wardrobes are installed in the bedroom. Although brown cabinets in the rest room are no exception. As for the sizes, it is recommended to select the Pax so that, in addition to clothes, it can additionally accommodate bed linen and towels.

Children's
For a nursery, it is best to choose light beige, delicate shades of furniture. Although, if desired, you can place bright accents
Please note that the cabinet includes a large number of shelves and baskets. With their help, you can carefully place clothes and numerous toys for storage in a closet.
Pax wardrobe
By choosing a Pax wardrobe for his apartment, the owner acquires a beautiful and functional product. It will not only help free the room from “extra” things, but will also be an excellent addition to the interior.

Examples in the interior
A small cabinet in a “dusty” blue shade is an excellent bright accent for a room decorated in white tones. A folding chair that matches the color of the furniture helps create a complete interior in a modern style.
A light wardrobe with a pronounced wood texture brings a special coziness to the room. The system of lamps providing additional lighting is a practical and stylish detail.
A dark brown cabinet with wood-effect fronts fits perfectly into the eco-design of the room. Natural shades of walls and floors, carpet and curtains the color of young grass, fresh flowers in vases - all this creates an atmosphere of harmony and peace.
A mirrored wardrobe is an ideal choice for a bedroom. In combination with the light shades of the room, it creates an interior full of lightness and charm.
Filling and components
The main components include the following elements.
- Prefabricated body. It will be present in free-standing cabinets. Typically, the body is made of wood or wood derivatives. With rare exceptions, you can find metal cases.
- Doors. They will also not be in all models, but only in those where they should be, based on the design. Doors can be sliding or hinged. More popular today are the so-called sliding doors, as they are less expensive in terms of space.
- Elements for fastening. Available in any set. Such parts include dowels, bolts, corners, etc.
- Various accessories. These can be loops, hooks and other small parts necessary in assembling furniture.
The great thing about IKEA cabinets is that they can be upgraded by adding different elements to them.
Closed models can also be modified and increased in size, but this will happen mainly due to the addition of the same closed small cabinets and bedside tables.
Other additional components are:
Mesh baskets. This piece looks beautiful in modern cabinets. The convenience of using such a basket lies in the constant visibility of the contents in it. It is possible to always know exactly what is in this part of the closet. Another important feature is the ventilation of the laundry. If moisture gets into a closed box, mold may form. This will not happen in this basket.
But it’s not only open cabinets without a frame that can be supplemented.
There are models in which the buyer is given a free choice of what to put inside and in what quantity.
For various racks, additional purchase of compartments will be relevant. If there is such an opportunity, then it is worth buying not with compartments, but with separate cells.
PAX planner: set dimensions and choose design
PAX can be planned independently in the planner program, or with a specialist when visiting a store. The good thing about the second method is that a specialist can give you some advice or warn you against mistakes in planning. The first one will please those who do not have the opportunity to visit the store, because... IKEA is not available in all cities of Russia and CIS countries.
This is what the scheduler interface looks like on the website. On the right is the main menu where you can set different sizes and configurations.
The price will depend on the content and dimensions. The most expensive will be tall cabinets with glass doors or veneer fronts. Panels on sliding doors made of fiberboard are the most budget-friendly.
Internal filling
The project above is exactly my closet. And this is what it looks like in reality.
Frame sizes
Although IKEA claims that this wardrobe system allows you to assemble a wardrobe for almost any room, the size and capabilities of PAX are still limited.
In the catalog you can choose only 2 types of height and 2 depths:
- Height: 201 or 236 cm;
- Depth: 35 or 58 cm.
Narrow cabinet with a depth of 35 cm Full-size, with a frame depth of 68 cm
The width is also not so simple. There are only three standards:
- 50 cm;
- 75 cm;
- 100 cm.
I wanted to install PAX not only in the room, but also in the hallway for outerwear. But precisely because of the width, we had to look for other options for arranging the hallway.
Corner
The PAX system allows you to assemble a corner or U-shaped wardrobe option. To do this, you need to purchase a special module.
Unfortunately, IKEA does not currently have options for frames with a beveled corner. And, in my opinion, it looks more beautiful with a right angle. Although, perhaps, a corner wardrobe in the shape of a trapezoid is more convenient to use.
Doors: hinged and sliding
Sliding ones save space, but from personal experience I will say that it is inconvenient to dress alone with such a wardrobe: while one half is open, access to the other is closed.
But in a small apartment or in a narrow corridor, there aren’t really any other options besides sliding doors.
But there are more design options among swing designs.
Internal filling
The interior arrangement and organization of storage is a separate delight. For this I am ready to endlessly praise IKEA.
Everything is thought out to the smallest detail:
- shelves can be installed at any height convenient for you;
- built-in lighting (to get dressed normally, you don’t need to turn on the lights in the entire room and wake up your household, this is super humane in relation to the husband sleeping in the room, who gets up for work an hour or two later);
- clothes rails (stationary and retractable);
- retractable trouser hangers,
- pull-out shelves for shoes;
- retractable baskets;
- boxes, hanging bags;
- drawers and drawers;
- and much, much more.
This is simply paradise for those who love order and functionality!
Open wardrobes PAX
A large dressing room is every woman's dream. And with IKEA’s open storage system, you can get closer to your dream by organizing a mini version of it in the pantry, for example. Or under the stairs.
And if the size of the bedroom allows, then you can build a partition from plasterboard, organizing storage behind it.
Design options
For sliding doors, the catalog offers the following facade options:
- white: matte or glossy;
- frosted glass;
- beige gloss;
- light gray gloss;
- white with a white strip design;
- bleached oak;
- dark frosted glass;
- dark bamboo;
- white textured;
- mirrored
The sliding door frame can be composed of different facades, because... its parts are sold separately.
Frame
There is a larger range of swing doors. There are blue, green, gray, black, black-brown, light or dark wood, white and even with a floral pattern. There are smooth facades, with panels or with a mirror.
Mesh modules
The steel mesh construction set is a fairly versatile type. It is presented in the form of a supporting rail, which is horizontally screwed to the wall. Guide rails are fixed to it, to which, in turn, brackets are attached. Hangers, shelves, and baskets are placed on them. The length and configuration of the slats depends on what elements are used. The advantage of this wardrobe system is its convenience, the compactness of the assembled sections, because any individual module can be attached and dismantled as needed. These honeycomb modules are distinguished by their stability; it is noted that the guide has the ability to withstand a load of 300 kg.
Their other advantages include:
- ease of design;
- no need for a long search for the right thing;
- excellent air circulation through the cells.
Jonaksel – floor shelving
With the help of steel frames, which are presented in the form of small elements and dimensional systems, open sections of dressing rooms are equipped. The filling consists of containers made of various materials and shelves.
With adjustable hanger rods, you can vary the dimensions of the sections. With the help of shelving in this series, the fashionable minimalist trend of placing clothes in wire baskets is realized.
Long shelves without partitions look no less impressive. This style of wardrobe systems from IKEA gives the greatest freedom: you can change the placement of things and vary the size of sections.
Color selection
The color scheme was implemented in one white version, to perfectly fit into the bright interiors of its owners.
The mobility of this system will satisfy any client, as will the service of a Swedish company with a brand name.
For people looking for their place in the sun, who do not have their own home and are forced to move from one rented apartment to another, an excellent solution would be to use the Brame system.
This system is unique, not only for its exquisite beauty in design, but also for its simplicity in design, thanks to which even a person whose knowledge is limited in the matter of furniture can easily quickly disassemble and reassemble the Brame mobile system.
Its compact dimensions allow it to be installed even in small rooms, while providing its owner with acceptable capacity.
The Ikea catalog presents wardrobe systems that satisfy the tastes of not only a gourmet of design style, but also a person with a desire for practicality and convenience in value terms.
Mobile wardrobe systems
Ikea specialists have developed wardrobes for various occasions. So, if you rent an apartment or are planning a quick move, it is better to opt for mobile models. These include the convenient “Brame” and “IKEA PS” modules.
These products have an unusual, attractive design, but the main advantage is ease of assembly and transportation. Thus, the textile wardrobe “Brame” has the following dimensions: 80x55x180 centimeters (width, height, depth). The shelves can withstand loads of up to 40 kilograms without any problems.
Mobile wardrobe system "Brame"
Using such a convenient mobile system, you can place all your things anywhere.
Storage chests
An interesting solution in any interior would be a chest of drawers. A functional product, convenient for relaxing and storing a large volume of various things. In the drawers located below you can store bed linen, blankets, rugs or large items that are not often used in everyday life.
If you place the chest of drawers in the nursery, you can use drawers to store toys, because children always have so many of them. Models of chests of drawers called BRIMNES and HEMNES are on sale.
Another interesting solution is to use a chest of drawers with storage drawers near the window. Of course, we will have to dismantle the window sill, but the resulting result will bring a lot of pleasure and create all the conditions for productive relaxation. All we have to do is choose a comfortable mattress, a couple of pillows, a warm blanket (all can be purchased in the same store) and an interesting book.

- IKEA tables: 155 photos and videos describing the use of the table in interior design
- IKEA mattresses: 170 photos of current models from the manufacturer and tips for choosing a mattress
The free space under the bed or other furniture in the room can also be used by using storage boxes from the IKEA catalog. You can store seasonal shoes or some important but rarely used household items there.
An original solution for storing things would be a wicker basket, which comes in different sizes and is suitable for home or office.
Filling for wardrobes and cabinets: possible options
Ikea designer wardrobes are especially popular due to their excellent performance. They are presented in a variety of design solutions, and each has its own advantages. The structures are divided into the following types.
Large and functional dressing room with built-in chest of drawers and many shelves.
Panel
Its components are decorative panels to which storage parts are attached. The supporting part is rigidly fixed to the wall. Such systems do not have side dividers, they do not have a ceiling or floor.
The panel system will fit perfectly not only in a small room, but also in large rooms.
In panel complexes, in addition to the storage function, there is another useful functionality: they will help hide possible flaws on the walls, parts of the structure move or you can change them in places, depending on the need.
Another option for a panel design on a beige background.
Housing-filling system
The body-filling system is a kind of modular design, consists of sections, has walls - top, bottom and sides. The sections are located along the walls of the room, close to them, secured with ties and a single complex is obtained. The filling is made to order, according to certain sizes. In this case, laminated chipboards are used.
For a reasonable price you can purchase a very comfortable and spacious wardrobe.
The advantages of such systems are optimal cost, a wide selection of colors and attractive appearance.
The corner version of the body-filling system is an excellent option for placing the belongings of all family members.
Cellular system
The honeycomb system is steel modules with meshes; the design on rails is a universal variety among similar storage complexes.
A stylish and spacious wardrobe in which, in addition to things, you can store small household items.
The carrier rail is screwed to the wall in a horizontal position, guide rails are attached to it, and brackets are fixed to them. You can place hangers, shelves, baskets there. The system is stable: one guide holds a load of up to three hundred kilograms.
Frame-complex
If you decide to allocate a separate room for a wardrobe, then the frame complex will be a convenient option for its design.
The advantages of such complexes are ease of assembly, excellent ventilation of the things placed in them, as well as the ability to move components.
Universal built-in organizers
Steel rails with slats and brackets are used in all types of storage facilities. Pull-out shelves, drawers, baskets or special hanger models are attached to them.
Various lengths and configurations of the guides allow optimal use of space.
Assembly instructions
Assembling an IKEA wardrobe is not very difficult. All thanks to the good instructions that come in the box along with the cabinet.
General assembly steps can be described as follows.
- Open the package and take out all the parts. They must be placed in a convenient place on the floor so that they are all clearly visible. It is also necessary to prepare a set of tools, namely a hammer, a screwdriver and a hammer drill.
- We install wall fastenings on both sides. We secure the wall holders with bolts from above.
- Using a hammer, hammer the pins into the shelves.
- We hammer in the washers for the legs. From the inside we adjust the height of the cabinet legs.
- We screw in the pins to support the crossbars.
- Having placed the shelf on the fastenings, tighten the nuts, thereby fixing it.
- We install stiffeners. These are wooden planks that are attached from below.
- We nail the back wall to the body.
- If the structure is divided into several cabinets, then we connect them together and fasten them.
- We install a metal strip - a guide for the doors.
- We attach the doors to the hinges and place them in the closet.
IKEA wardrobes are good furniture at a decent price. The company produces different models, which allows you to choose a design that suits the color, size and content. Assembly takes some time, but there are no problems, because there are detailed instructions.
How to assemble?
Assembling the system is not very complicated, but it has its own subtleties (in particular, collapsible doors). It is better to involve a professional craftsman in the process, but if you still decide to assemble the cabinet yourself, you must follow the recommendations exactly.
First of all, check the package contents. All screws, angles, pins, as well as legs, external and internal structural elements must be in place. Prepare a hammer and screwdriver. You may also need a stepladder.
The step-by-step assembly diagram is as follows:
- Determine the top and bottom of the future furniture. On the top you will find large holes for the pins.
- Screw the legs to the bottom of the product. Attach the walls of the product to it.
- Having fixed the lower part, insert the pins into the upper zone, the caps with the cross inward. When the caps are tightened, place the assembled frame in a vertical position.
- Install stiffening ribs under the bottom of the wardrobe.
- Mount the cabinet to the wall. To do this, use the most convenient mounting system.
- Place runners on the bottom and ceiling of the structure (if you purchased a wardrobe). Don't forget about the plugs at the ends of the parts.
- Install another one on the bottom runner. In the future, a door will be attached to it. Place plastic fasteners on the top runner.
- Assemble the door using screws and levels.
- Place the doors on the runners and check for ease of movement. If necessary, it can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the screws.
- If the closet has hinged doors, attach them to the frame and install handles. The product is ready for use.

How to store children's toys: 3 tips for maintaining order
Staying organized isn't just about having large storage systems. Children often complain about the lack of interesting activities for themselves, although the apartment is already literally covered with a carpet of dolls, cars and books. The problem lies not in the lack of things, but in their huge quantity: the child gets lost and cannot make a choice.
In order to always maintain order in the children's room, you should from time to time sort through and inspect toys for damage.
What to do in such a situation? The first step is to get rid of some toys. You should start with broken things and those that the child does not play with or remembers only occasionally.
Then you need to sort the toys according to their intended purpose (or categories). This will make it easier for the child to find the necessary thing, rather than rummaging through the whole pile.
Toys can be divided into the following categories:
- Constructor;
- Cars;
- Dolls and accessories (clothing, furniture);
- Dishes;
- Cubes;
- Puzzles;
- Stuffed Toys;
- Books, etc.
There should also be a system for arranging the child’s things on the shelves in the children’s room. Thus, your favorite toys should be stored in an area of direct accessibility (bottom drawers of the closet). Small parts that adults help the baby work with are best placed on the top shelves (construction sets, plasticine, puzzles).
Things that it is advisable to wean a child from should be put in dark boxes. And the toys that the baby should remember more often are in transparent ones. Or put them in the most visible place.
