Why Ikea Pax wardrobes are an affordable and innovative alternative to bespoke fitted wardrobes 

Renovating a home is no small task. The list of things to consider is endless, making it fairly easy to gloss over necessities like fitted wardrobes. The endless myriad of options makes it even more difficult to prioritise. Fitted wardrobes are perfect for utilising space and giving a room a stylish look that provides a sleek floor to ceiling aesthetic but where can you get the best fitted wardrobes?

There’s plenty of options available when choosing a fitted wardrobe supplier but for the average person on a strict budget, the multitude of options may not be the most affordable. On top of that, scheduling a consultation with a designer to take measurements and conceptualise the bespoke wardrobes to your taste could escalate costs even further. Fitted wardrobe retailers like Sharps, could charge anywhere upwards of £2,000 for their their basic services.

So for those who are interested in more budget friendly solutions that can offer the same benefit, that’s where the Ikea Pax system comes into play. With so many combinations and choices, the Ikea Pax system may be able to provide a solution that perfectly meets your fitted wardrobe needs.

What is the Ikea Pax System

The Ikea Pax system is an innovative and affordable alternative to bespoke wardrobes. They give the feel and appeal of a bespoke design but without the price tag. The systems gives you the autonomy of being in complete control of the design process. The Ikea Pax Planner lets you design it all from the style, size, drawers, doors and interior organisers to help sort all of your belongings. The system is so seamless that it enables renovators to perfectly tailor their wardrobes to their tastes without the elongated process of hiring someone to come into their home and measure.

The concept is simple, measure the space you’d like to place the wardrobes in your home and then head to the ikea planner to choose your features that fit your space and specify how to organise your storage. Everything can be ordered online so there is no need to step foot in the store. The wardrobe frames can be purchased from as little as £75 depending on the size that you choose. 

Once you’ve chosen the selection, you can then take it one step further and build them into the walls to create your unique fitted wardrobes look.  The fitted look can easily be achieved by filling in the perimeter of the wardrobes between the walls using measured and cut pieces of MDF wood. Once the gaps have been filled in to create the perfect look, finish off with your desired paint and caulk.

If you are starting a renovation project and you are not sure hiring bespoke wardrobe fitters is suitable for your project then the Ikea Pax system might be for you.
