Small budget walk in wardrobe ideas for 3m high ceiling - Draks?

Hello,
I have a small room approximately 2.5m x 1.6m I'd like to turn into a walk in wardrobe but I really want floor to ceiling storage.
Annoyingly the ikea PAX is just 2.3m high and despite spending all evening on their website I can't figure out any sensible combinations to stack on top of their wardrobe systems!
Has anyone got a Draks wardrobe system are they expensive?

Thanks
Emma

You could just run some deep shelves across the top, twinslot maybe?

Just make sure whatever you choose can fit through the cupboard door and has the angles to be manoeuvred into place.

We bought PAX wardrobes (carcasses with all the internal drawers / rails / shelves) and then got a joiner to build cupboards up to the ceiling and then had custom made doors for the full height. Worked out miles cheaper than truly bespoke wardrobes via a specialist company.

I have one of these. I used bookcases with storage baskets and bought some chrome rails on eBay for only a few pounds and attached them in the gap between the wall and the bookcases. I've put two rails up one on top of the other and can actually fit loads of clothes in a small space.

I would be very careful about stacking anything without distributing some weight. Wardrobes and clothes are really heavy and 3 metres is very high.

I think namechanged has it. Look up Ikea Hacks online and you can see people making Pax look like a built-in system with filler pieces. You could do this and get a joiner to add cupboards on top that are wall-hung.

I’ve googled Draks but it looks like a local bespoke wardrobe company? Those tend to cost several times more than Ikea.

Another idea would be to find a retail shelving supplier to get some elements together as per the photo.
