Walk in wardrobe / dressing room
Discussion
I have had an AI fail with this so thought I'd ask here.
We finally got round to clearing out a large cupboard/ tiny room in the basement of our house. The rest of the basement is a small "self contained" unit with a bathroom small kitchen a hall bedroom and sitting room
I reckon it's a bit of a squeeze but it's big enough for some wardrobes and a dressing table
There's a radiator in the corner of the left hand wall that's 2470 (at the door end) and I'd rather keep that
Any input would be appreciated

We’ve just done similar. In a small space, we decided lots of doors etc wasn’t the way forward. It’s a dressing room, so used these to create multiple height open rails, with shelves above for additional storage.

Book an appointment with an IKEA wardrobe designer - it s free. They did a great job designing our walk-in wardrobe.
Do they do fitting as well, and in the proper sense of fixing to the wall and routing around skirting boards?redrabbit29 said:
Those saying Pax - are they set up and look just like normal wardrobes?
The reason I ask is I've also thought about making our spare room into a walk in wardrobe type place. But I liked the idea of it all being built in and fitted properly. Not just a set of wardrobes along the walls
There are a fair few companies out there that make and sell doors that are compatible with Pax. They also make and sell decor panels which match the doors they make. Make up a Pax system using the IKEA designer and make best use of the space. Buy 3rd party doors, then use matching decor panels to fill in the gaps at the sides and the top (and the bottom if you really want to).The reason I ask is I've also thought about making our spare room into a walk in wardrobe type place.

We used the pax planner online - https://www.ikea.com/addon-app/storageone/pax/web/...
Then used a chippie to fit it all and make it look like fitted wardrobes. Used a chippie as I wanted the best finish possible, and my wood working skills are crap in comparison to a time-served pro.

Will design for/with you, supply only, install yourself or find a local tradie to do it for you
ETA: Will be more expensive than IKEA but is made to measure and made to last. it is designed as fitted furniture, not just a bunch of freestanding units that you need to "hack"

On the topic of IKEA Pax, personally I d look for another solution.
We have some from about ten years ago and then some from a couple of years ago and the cost cutting is VERY evident. What used to be reasonable and very acceptable quality for the money has turned to cheap and nasty s
t. They re not quite as junky as some other Ikea stuff, but they re piss poor now in comparison and no longer offer value.
