A full closet is great. It gives you so many options to choose from. Maybe you're a power player in a suit or a marathon runner in your gym 'fit. But there are probably items in your closet that are long-forgotten, jammed in the back, and nearly impossible to see. Your closet only works if you can actually access the clothes in it. With the PAX system from IKEA, you'll be able to locate and utilize your whole wardrobe.
tl;dr
- A wide variety of clothes in your closet is only useful if it's accessible.
- The PAX system from IKEA offers organizational solutions that fit your space.
- Furniture from IKEA is easy to assemble yourself, but the brand's partnership with Taskrabbit provides convenient and affordable furniture assembly.

Here are some possible components of the IKEA PAX wardrobe system to start with.
Frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of using a coordinated storage system?
A wardrobe with a coordinated storage system, like the IKEA PAX, has several benefits. The most obvious is that it helps you maximize your available space by utilizing custom components and vertical height. This means you can spend less time rummaging through your closet to find the clothes, shoes, and accessories you need--something that can be particularly stressful before work or school in the morning. Gone are the days of uncovering one stiletto from your wardrobe cave, only to be baffled as to where its companion has disappeared to. A coordinated wardrobe can also help protect your clothes and accessories, as you can customize storage with specific sections for different items, reducing overall bulk and the likelihood of items becoming crushed, snagged, or damaged.
How do I organize a closet?
The first thing to consider when organizing your closet is how much stuff you need to store and the different categories of clothes, shoes, and accessories you have. This will help you decide the size and type of wardrobe you need, as well as any extra components that you may need, like shoe shelves. To maximize space, hang what you can (it takes up less space than folding) and use storage boxes and organizers for accessories, shoes, and other items you can’t hang. Also, keep a donation bag ready and be cutthroat about throwing out any old garments you likely won’t wear again (or maybe have never worn).
How much space can I save in a bedroom with clever storage?
Clever storage can seriously help maximize your bedroom space. By utilizing often-forgotten areas like unused gaps and walls, and buying multifunctional furniture, you can save space you didn’t even know you had. Wall shelves and floating shelves will offer extra vertical storage without adding clutter to your bedroom floor, while adding storage baskets, boxes, or storage cubes to smaller gaps can provide ample space (and an extra pop of color or personality) to your bedroom.
Can you add doors to IKEA PAX wardrobes?
Yes! Using the online PAX planning tool, you can design your PAX wardrobe from its frames to its handles, including choosing the doors and handles. IKEA offers a wide selection of doors that suit a range of budgets and styles, including glass and sliding doors.
