IKEA Pax Wardrobes planning

Would you go in store to get one planned out with their designer? Or have online appointment?
I tried the planning myself but made a hatchet job of it.

I am going to get someone to fix them to make them look like fitted wardrobes.

I got them planned in store, partly as I had trouble with their app

The person who did it had some really good ideas, so in normal times I’d do that, because of Covid I might try to muddle through though as beauty of pax is you can always rejig later

Try some shelves & wire baskets (as most cost effective) and you could always get some fancy bits at a later date: they can really add up

I got them planned in store (precovid) but if you know what you want I don't see why you couldn't get it all done with an online appointment. We actually went back 2 or 3 times so maybe have an online appointment first then go in to confirm once you have a clearer idea of what you're doing.

In store here too. They were excellent. Recommend a week day morning!

We have a one hour Sat appt booked! Hoping to get it done before a circuit break happens.
Is an hour enough?

Couple of tips:

  1. glass shelves over normal shelves
  2. 50cm shelves over full size shelves
  3. shoe stands aren’t the bees knees
  4. get a pull out shelf with plastic diver for keeping bits and bobs like medication, bobbles, razors etc
  5. pull out baskets don’t hold that much but I normally keep excess bottles of cosmetics or sprays I don’t use regularly in them
  6. a better way to keep shoes is on a 100cm wide shelf with one of those bags that keeps lots of shoes on them

Just my opinion on what had worked for me :)
Mentally prepare what you have in your wardrobe, what you use on a regular basis, what you would find useful.....
