PAX wardrobe from IKEA. Full review + 40 photos of the interior

The PAX wardrobe system, like their METHOD kitchens, allows you to assemble furniture like a designer set. But is it so universal and will it solve your storage problems? I will share with you my personal purchasing experience, and also show you what the cabinet looks like in a real interior.

Features and Benefits

The main advantage of the Pax storage system is the ability to independently plan its internal structure. The company's catalog presents basic wardrobe models that can be purchased in the store if they completely suit you, and it is possible to change the arrangement of shelves and drawers after assembly in accordance with changing needs. If you have certain requirements for dimensions, internal distribution of sections, color of facades and doors, then a virtual designer will come to the rescue.

If you don’t have time to plan on your own or you don’t understand the program very well, then you can create the design of your future cabinet with a company specialist.

The second feature is the affordable cost of the cabinet. There is only one frame on which the structure is assembled, but you can order more expensive fittings and cladding for it. The cost of the finished option ranges from 7,700 rubles for a two-section wardrobe and reaches 62,000 rubles for a six-section, three-meter structure made of natural wood. Another feature is a 10-year manufacturer's warranty on all storage systems.

Regardless of what material your “Pax” will be assembled from, the company promises warranty service for the product, which covers manufacturing defects in the design itself or accessories.

The fourth feature is the ability to fit a wardrobe into any room, from a small hallway in a Khrushchev building to a spacious bedroom in a cottage. Wardrobes have a shallow depth, so they are suitable even for narrow corridors.

An additional plus is a wide range of cladding colors. Problems with choosing a combination of wardrobe with the rest of the interior never arise.

Furniture from IKEA. Comparing quality

At the time IKEA appeared in Russia, our furniture industry was not so developed. A lot of furniture was brought from abroad. In the early 2000s, buying a chest of drawers, a bed or a carpet there was considered prestigious. Then the popularity subsided a little; in almost all apartments one could see the same type of sofas and tables from the collections of this store. Now all the furniture of this brand is again in demand among Russians and not only.

It's quite simple. A lot of small furniture manufactories began to appear in the Russian Federation. Prices there are much cheaper than in regular stores and IKEA. We are not talking about expensive chains and luxury salons now. That's a different story; people who can afford Italian furniture will not compare Ikea with Redeco, etc.

Hundreds of online stores are opening where a chest of drawers can be purchased for just a few thousand with free shipping. No matter how important quality is, price for many is one of the decisive purchasing factors. In addition, both the design and functionality seem to be good. But imagine my surprise when this chest of drawers fell apart without lasting even a month. Yes, it's cheap. Yes, free shipping. But why is it needed if it is made from sawdust in the literal sense of the word?

Then I and many of my compatriots again remembered the Swedish giant. The furniture there is more expensive, but it won’t break down in a month or a year.

Another important point: assembly. To assemble a chest of drawers from an inexpensive online store, you actually need to hire a carpenter, since an ordinary person will never screw these screws in his life. I'm serious. This is another + 1000 – 2000 rubles (as agreed). Whereas at IKEA everything is quite simple and clear. Even an inexperienced girl can assemble a table or chair herself.

How many people, so many opinions. But my opinion is clear: furniture at IKEA is worth the money. You won't find this quality cheaper. Moreover, this applies to all types: tables, chests of drawers, cabinets, sofas, chairs, etc.

Models

All Pax wardrobe models do not have a personal name due to the fact that the assembly concept involves the creation of a huge number of combinations, but they can be conditionally divided into three categories:

• With swing doors. Models with sliding doors are an excellent choice for those who save space in the room. The cost of this option is higher than the standard one, and it is more difficult to assemble, but these disadvantages are offset by ease of use. The only negative that these dressing rooms have is that the frame for models with sliding doors can no longer be used for swing doors. Models with hinged doors allow the doors to be hung from either side. Holes for hinges are provided on each side wall and are closed with special plugs. The doors are also attached to four hinges - two standard and two with closers.

• With sliding doors. Models with sliding doors are an excellent choice for those who save space in the room. The cost of this option is higher than the standard one, and it is more difficult to assemble, but these disadvantages are offset by ease of use. The only negative that these dressing rooms have is that the frame for models with sliding doors can no longer be used for swing doors. A special feature of sliding structures is the mirror design: you can choose the type of mirror on the door, its shape, engraving or sectional layout.
• Angular. The corner wardrobe differs from the usual similar options in its design. If standard models use beveled doors, which need to be opened simultaneously, then in Pax the doors are located on each section and open independently. Thus, the section where the drawers with linen are located does not open if it is necessary to remove outerwear.

Ikea wardrobes - the best ideas for decorating a dressing room from IKEA in a modern style (45 photos)

Contents If your life has stopped in a constant search for clothes, and you are tired of it. If you want to create a cozy atmosphere in your apartment, then you can’t live without a wardrobe. Purchasing Ikea wardrobe systems means buying multi-seat and functional furniture in which things will be hidden from prying eyes in perfect order. The photo of the dressing room from Ikea will not leave anyone indifferent. Because the execution of the dressing room is top class, it looks amazing. Now you will see examples of arranging a dressing room from Ikea, only the most popular options on the Russian and European markets.

Contents of the article:

In the IKEA catalog, wardrobes are made without harm to the environment from 100% natural environmental materials. Today, Ikea has three cabinet options - Stolmen, Elgo and Pax. Each closet has an individual design that meets the rule “Every thing should have its own place.” Some models from Ikea have additional lighting, which helps save time when choosing the right thing. However, the presence of backlight increases the cost of the product.

Model Pax

Pax wardrobes are designed for any type of clothing. And for everyday, and for evening, and for underwear. You can put literally everything in this closet. The wardrobe is equipped with sections, thanks to which clothes can be folded neatly and, if necessary, quickly found. Having once bought a Pax, it is impossible to understand how you can live without it, because it is not replaceable.

Ikea has several sizes:

1. Width 50 and 100 centimeters

2. Height 201 and 236 centimeters

3. Depth 35 and 38 centimeters.

Be sure to consider the size of your apartment when modeling your closet.

A set of internal sections will allow you to store outerwear, dresses, shirts and the like. The set includes a unique section for storing shoes.

Model Stolman

A relatively new direction is the Ikea dressing room. If you don’t know how to create a dressing room, then rather go to Ikea. After all, this is precisely why the company produces the Stolmen model range. Take a close look at the photo and you will see that the dressing room has adjustable racks that fill the empty space between the ceiling and floor. Optional height 210 – 330 centimeters. Inside, the Stolman dressing room is equipped with a chest of drawers, drawers, various shelves and other fittings. The entire model range is made in white.

Simple systems

Ikea takes care of everyone, so if you rent an apartment, then the Brame and Ikea PS wardrobe systems are your salvation. In the photo you see that these systems are easy to install and do not take up much space, but at the same time they are made according to modern standards. The cabinets are spacious and do not take up much space. As consumers say, “small but remote.”

Everything is for convenience...

Ikea cares about its customers, so on the website - “Manuals and Planners” you can create the closet of your dreams. Select the color, material, model, lighting and all the necessary accessories (drawers, shelves, sections, etc.), the created cabinets can be printed or saved to your desktop. And Ikea will do everything possible to make your dream come true.

Ikea is modern, high-quality furniture at affordable prices. Wardrobe systems from Ikea will look great in any environment. Multifunctionality and large capacity will allow you to store things in perfect order. And the quality of the material will allow the furniture to serve you happily for a long time.

Materials

Pax wardrobes are made from different materials, and the basic cost of the wardrobe depends on them. Modern design involves a frame made of chipboard and laminated boards, the doors are finished with melamine film. The back wall is always made of fiberboard. Standard fittings are made of nickel, steel and have a copper coating. The baskets and other metal parts inside the structure are made of steel with a phosphate anti-corrosion coating.

The coating is based on epoxy or polyester resin with a colored pigment. Parts of wheels and handles are made of acetal plastic, plastic, polypropylene.

Doors and drawers are painted with acrylic paint.

All materials are suitable for further processing and do not harm human health or the environment. In more expensive models, the doors, and, if desired, the frame, can be trimmed with wood. Oak veneer is especially popular.

Designer of storage systems for a dressing room

A distinctive feature of modern metal wardrobe systems is their innovative design and the ability to adapt to any architectural layout. Photos of wardrobe systems of this design illustrate that, like a construction set, they can be assembled into a single complex, taking into account personal preferences. A wide range of wardrobe system elements are offered, which can be purchased on the manufacturers’ websites.

Drawers for shoes are very convenient

The main advantage of designer-type storage complexes is that they can very easily be transformed to suit specific needs. After all, it is not always possible to provide in advance for storage of certain items or household equipment. Having purchased equipment for a cabinet-type dressing room, you will no longer be able to change the position of the shelves and racks. And in the case of construction systems, you can quickly and effortlessly change the position of any module.

Taking into account personal needs, in such systems you can change the height of racks, shelves, baskets, as well as move them between other sections of the complex. In addition, the number of elements of such systems can be increased at any time and additional shelves for the dressing room can be purchased. This way, you can always meet your growing storage needs.

One of the advantages of mesh wardrobe systems assembled like a designer is the possibility of a full view of the laid out items and things. Many of us do not remember what is stored on the high mezzanines of an ordinary closet. In the case of a mesh design, all racks and shelves are made of metal lattice, and therefore you can always see what is stored on which shelf. Good insolation will only enhance this effect.

Dressing room in a simple and elegant design

Dimensions

It is easy to choose the right size if the buyer immediately comes with ready-made parameters, having made a preliminary measurement of the house. The developers of the Pax wardrobe models from the IKEA brand have thought through everything so ergonomically that the model can be ideally installed in rooms of any size.

Main parameters of headsets:

• height – from 201 to 236 cm;
• width – from 50 to 300 cm;
• depth - from 35 to 58, and sometimes even up to 70 cm.

Straight linear structures are installed along the center of the wall, near the wall closer to the window, corner or door, and also scattered near the walls. Corner options are suitable for interiors where furniture is arranged in a non-standard way.

Modular wardrobes are structures consisting of separate blocks. The advantages of this solution are that the block modules can be installed in any order, they are easy to move from place to place, and they are easily transported when moving. Entire sections can cover the entire wall.

Stretch sheet "Dvala"

It has already been said above that you should not buy bed linen from IKEA, but some buyers may be attracted by a sheet with an elastic band. It fits comfortably and doesn't slip during sleep.

However, Dvala has a significant drawback that outweighs all the advantages: strong electrification. Wool and dust stick to the fabric, and sometimes it generates electric shock.

Price from 500 rub.

Colors and model options

The brand has long established itself as a manufacturer of high-quality parts for stylish furniture for self-assembly. Door options can be hinged or sliding. The doors of the individual upper modules are hinged.

Basic colors and shades of PAX wardrobes:

• dark or lightened oak;
• classic brown;
• black strict;
• white refreshing;
• silver, metallic;
• blue, blue;
• beige;
• woody - the color of birch, pine, ash, beech, cherry, rosewood, mahogany (mahogany).

Pax's light wardrobe will gracefully fit into interiors of such styles as: classic, eclecticism, cubism, minimalism. Models in gray shades with inserts made of glass, chromed steel, and other metal with smooth contours and surfaces will serve as an ideal filling for interiors in high-tech, cosmo, modern or loft styles.

• Well-designed modules of light brown, beige and even white cabinets, cabinets with drawer tops, made of natural wood or laminated chipboard will create a stylish atmosphere in interiors of styles: eco, Scandinavian, Japanese, organic hygge.
• Dark colors, including wood, are suitable for organizing spaces according to projects in the following style directions: eco, classic, English, Italian, modern, close to classics.

Materials from which IKEA prepares furniture for wardrobes:

• strained glass;
• refined chipboard (chipboard), fibreboard;
• High quality ABS plastic.

It could be a wardrobe. But the developers of the IKEA brand always have unusual cabinets. Their modules can be rearranged, disassembled and reassembled, unfolded and folded. The Pax wardrobe with sections for hangers and shelves for jeans and T-shirts can be of several types:

• single, two-, three- and more sectional;
• angular and straight;
• with mezzanines, low, high to the ceiling;
• built into a niche;
• standing separately.

There are also very unusual solutions - cabinets that serve as support for the upper berth. These are low structures, on top of which there is a bed-bed with barrier railings to comply with safety standards, preventing accidental falls from a height. These models are especially suitable for children.

Contour designs are an interesting approach to saving space in rooms. An ensemble of wardrobes is installed on both sides of the bed and above its headboard. There is a wide field for design creativity here. You can even combine a small library with a wardrobe - books are placed on shelves above your head, and clothes are in sections on both sides of the bed.

Combining a Pax model wardrobe with shoe shelves is another option for creating a comfortable wardrobe.

Adding a small folding chest of drawers for small items to the built-in shoe rack will allow you to create universal furniture - a wardrobe with a chest of drawers and a dressing table. Especially if the top of the chest of drawers is also retractable. You can complement the project with a large mirror and lighting. Clothes furniture without doors from IKEA looks great in any classic interior.

Cabinet Variations

A wide variety of shelves, drawers, hangings and much more - all this allows you to harmoniously and rationally place things in IKEA cabinets.

Such suitable models may appear on the website next to the characteristics. This will allow you to make your final choice faster. You can purchase additional models of fittings, various hooks and baskets.

Advantages

Looking at catalogs with IKEA furniture in a store, you begin to involuntarily wonder why it is the leader in its field.

The advantages include:

• the use of only natural ingredients in the manufacture of products;
• stylish and elegant look;
• fire safety (all materials are subject to additional protection measures) convenience;
• light weight (the main furniture is made from durable but very light components to minimize the risk of injury);
• all wall-mounted furniture products require additional fastening to the wall;
• sustainability;
• large selection of furniture for boys and girls;
• a large number of different shades;
• long service life;
• multifunctionality.

Thanks to these advantages, IKEA furniture is so highly valued among buyers who see it as a universal assistant for their child.

Storage Addition

Often, various baskets are purchased along with the cabinet. They can be plastic, cardboard or fabric. But most importantly, with their help, all things can be folded beautifully and practically.

Therefore, they can be folded into boxes and placed on top. There are cabinet models that are not very long. This allows for beautiful decorative boxes that can be tucked away on top of the cabinet.

In order to better understand this topic, it is better to look at the site catalog in advance. There are a large number of photos of IKEA cabinets in a variety of interiors.

Pax cabinets in the interior of the apartment

The variety of sizes, textures and wide range of colors of the minimalist style of Pax cabinets allows you to install them in any room of the apartment. Simple shapes and clear elements fit equally well into a strict classic interior and into modern solutions that are distinguished by originality.

Hallway

Most often, the Pax wardrobe for the corridor is ordered in darker colors (this is practical) and complemented with a mirror, but this is a matter of taste. Such furniture in the hallway is extremely useful. In a narrow closet you can compactly place outerwear, hats and shoes.

Living room

When choosing a Pax wardrobe for the living room, you should combine it with other furniture, walls and the general ambiance of the room. In the living room, both a wardrobe with hinged doors and a wardrobe with sliding doors will look equally good. Its internal configuration depends entirely on the individual needs of the owners.

Bedroom

In most cases, beige or white wardrobes are installed in the bedroom. Although brown cabinets in the rest room are no exception. As for the sizes, it is recommended to select the Pax so that, in addition to clothes, it can additionally accommodate bed linen and towels.

Children's

For a nursery, it is best to choose light beige, delicate shades of furniture. Although, if desired, you can place bright accents

Please note that the cabinet includes a large number of shelves and baskets. With their help, you can carefully place both clothes and numerous toys for storage in a closet.

By choosing a Pax wardrobe for his apartment, the owner acquires a beautiful and functional product. It will not only help free the room from “extra” things, but will also be an excellent addition to the interior.

Bed sheets

It is impossible to name a specific model that is not worth buying. Everything about IKEA bedding is bad. Pillowcases, duvet covers and sheets tear quickly, fade and are not worth the money. According to research by Western marketers, it is much more profitable to turn to other manufacturers of household goods if you need sleeping accessories. Price from 399 rub.

Filling and components

The main components include the following elements.

• Prefabricated body. It will be present in free-standing cabinets. Typically, the body is made of wood or wood derivatives. With rare exceptions, you can find metal cases.
• Doors. They will also not be in all models, but only in those where they should be, based on the design. Doors can be sliding or hinged. More popular today are the so-called sliding doors, as they are less expensive in terms of space.
• Elements for fastening. Available in any set. Such parts include dowels, bolts, corners, etc.
• Various accessories. These can be loops, hooks and other small parts necessary in assembling furniture.

The great thing about IKEA cabinets is that they can be upgraded by adding different elements to them.

Closed models can also be modified and increased in size, but this will happen mainly due to the addition of the same closed small cabinets and bedside tables.

Other additional components are:

• Mesh baskets. This piece looks beautiful in modern cabinets. The convenience of using such a basket lies in the constant visibility of the contents in it. It is possible to always know exactly what is in this part of the closet. Another important feature is the ventilation of the laundry. If moisture gets into a closed box, mold may form. This will not happen in this basket.
• But it’s not only open cabinets without a frame that can be supplemented.
• There are models in which the buyer is given a free choice of what to put inside and in what quantity.
• For various racks, additional purchase of compartments will be relevant. If there is such an opportunity, then it is worth buying not with compartments, but with separate cells.

Chest of drawers "Malm"

It's hard to believe, but this chest of drawers, the old version of which was recalled from sale only in 2016, killed 8 children. The latest victim was an 8-year-old boy from the United States, on whom a chest of drawers, supposedly securely attached to the wall, fell while the child was sleeping. And this is not the fault of the installers who secured the furniture, but it was poorly designed: it easily tipped forward and generally wobbled constantly. This is despite the fact that the chest of drawers was made of natural wood and weighed several kilograms. The price of the chest of drawers is 3,500 rubles.

Note!

Despite the fact that the old Malm was withdrawn from production, it can still be found for sale on the secondary market. Of course, you should never buy such furniture.

Frame sizes

Although IKEA claims that this wardrobe system allows you to assemble a wardrobe for almost any room, the size and capabilities of PAX are still limited.

In the catalog you can choose only 2 types of height and 2 depths:

1. Height: 201 or 236 cm;
2. Depth: 35 or 58 cm.

Narrow cabinet with a depth of 35 cm

Full size, frame depth 68 cm

The width is also not so simple. There are only three standards:

1. 50 cm;
2. 75 cm;
3. 100 cm.

Individual kitchens

IKEA offers the production of kitchen sets according to individual designs. Many customers who chose this service encountered incorrect fulfillment of the requirements:

• a different shade of countertops or cabinets;
• incorrect headset height;
• cracks in the tabletop.

For reference!

Problems also arose during the delivery of sets: frequent delays or transportation of furniture in parts.

Internal filling

The interior arrangement and organization of storage is a separate delight. For this I am ready to endlessly praise IKEA.

Everything is thought out to the smallest detail:

• shelves can be installed at any height convenient for you;
• built-in lighting (to get dressed normally, you don’t need to turn on the lights in the entire room and wake up your household, this is super humane in relation to the husband sleeping in the room, who gets up for work an hour or two later);
• clothes rails (stationary and retractable);
• retractable trouser hangers,
• pull-out shelves for shoes;
• retractable baskets;
• boxes, hanging bags;
• drawers and drawers;
• and much, much more.

This is simply paradise for those who love order and functionality!

Bedroom wardrobes

When installing a wardrobe in the bedroom, the homeowner pursues the goal of obtaining maximum functionality, plus an interior design in which the wardrobe will fit organically into the space.

Among the range of bedroom wardrobes, a worthy place is occupied by:

• IKEA wardrobe;
• upright two-leaf and three-leaf models;
• corner cupboard.

IKEA wardrobes for the bedroom - comfort and functionality raised to a degree. This is the presence of various shelves, hangers, drawers, etc., which facilitate the use of rational placement of necessary items of clothing.

The color palette is almost universal. Halftones and basic colors that are in demand for the bedroom are present in all collections: Vigne, Hemnes, Todalen, Birkeland, etc. These are colors such as white, brown, milky oak, the color of natural and aged wood, etc.

Design options

For sliding doors, the catalog offers the following facade options:

• white: matte or glossy;
• frosted glass;
• beige gloss;
• light gray gloss;
• white with a white strip design;
• bleached oak;
• dark frosted glass;
• dark bamboo;
• white textured;
• mirrored

The sliding door frame can be composed of different facades, because... its parts are sold separately.

Mesh modules

The steel mesh construction set is a fairly versatile type. It is presented in the form of a supporting rail, which is horizontally screwed to the wall. Guide rails are fixed to it, to which, in turn, brackets are attached. Hangers, shelves, and baskets are placed on them. The length and configuration of the slats depends on what elements are used.

The advantage of this wardrobe system is its convenience, the compactness of the assembled sections, because any individual module can be attached and dismantled as needed. These honeycomb modules are distinguished by their stability; it is noted that the guide has the ability to withstand a load of 300 kg.

Their other advantages include:

• ease of design;
• no need for a long search for the right thing;
• excellent air circulation through the cells.

For different rooms

A variety of sizes, materials, textures and shades allow Pax systems to fit harmoniously into any part of the house.

For the living room, you can choose a model that matches the color and design with the wall and other pieces of furniture. Doors can be either hinged or sliding. The internal content depends only on your needs.

For a child's room, the best choice would be a light-colored wardrobe. A color version is also suitable

A wardrobe will also be a useful element for the hallway. They usually prefer to install practical models in dark colors in this part of the apartment, although it all depends on your interior. In such a closet, shelves for hats, compartments for shoes and a bar with hangers for outerwear will be especially useful.

Color solutions

Pax cabinets are presented in a wide range of colors; the frame color can be not only white, black and brown or untreated pine, but also steel, gray, or treated wood. Particular attention should be paid to the color of the cabinet doors: a large assortment allows you to create more than 40 combinations from the classic monochromatic option to a colored one for a child’s room.

The doors are available in primary colors: glossy white, black-brown, light beige, blue, black, oak, ash, gray-green, bleached oak, dark gray.

Separately, it is worth noting the multi-colored options, such as white striped or small floral patterns. It will not be possible to get acquainted with all the color options in the catalog; for this it is better to download the designer, where they are presented in full.

Chest of drawers "Sundvik"

The top part of the chest can be folded out and used for changing children. In 2022, there were three reports of infants falling due to poor restraints. The folding part of the dresser was loosening and folding. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, but it’s still not worth using Sundvik in a nursery. Price from 5,500 rub.

How to assemble?

The storage system is assembled independently according to the instructions. It is included with each cabinet model and can also be downloaded for free on the model’s website. The assembly instructions follow the company's concept - minimum text, maximum clear pictures. From them, the buyer will learn what tools he will need and the procedure for assembling the structure.

Assembly and installation of the cabinet is carried out with four hands (invite a friend to help), it is better to put fabric under the furniture, it is forbidden to stand with your feet on the frame slabs.

The assembly should begin by determining the height of the room in relation to the height of the cabinet. To raise the cabinet into a vertical position, it is necessary that there be a space of at least 50 cm between its height and the height of the ceiling. If there is no such gap, then the assembly is carried out in a vertical position. To do this, the side wall of the cabinet is pressed against the wall, and all parts are supported by weight. A support is placed under the lower part of the frame.

The manufacturer warns that all cabinet models must be mounted to the wall. To do this, the package includes the required number of fasteners; the consumer purchases screws and screws separately in accordance with the type of his walls. All sections of the Pax wardrobe must be bolted together.

A clamp must be used to hold the modules together.

Used IKEA furniture. Does it make sense to buy second hand?

Thanks to Avito ad sites, etc., with the help of which people can save money by buying furniture from other people. Not necessarily used: many didn’t like the size or color, liked a different model, or who knows what else. There you can buy furniture from IKEA for several times cheaper than in the store. On new furniture, the discount can range from 20% to 50%. Whereas they buy used ones at a 90% discount.

So is it worth the risk? Or will furniture that has already been assembled not survive a second disassembly and reassembly?

It all depends on how exactly you will disassemble and reassemble it in your apartment. It is believed that furniture will survive disassembly twice, but the third and subsequent times will be difficult. The fastening points will become loose and will not connect the parts tightly. Therefore, it is important to unscrew the bolts very carefully and slowly. And also carefully assemble the furniture afterwards.

Pay attention to the screw points when buying furniture second-hand: if they are not cracked or scratched, then this furniture, most likely, was assembled only once - after purchase. But if there are visible traces of “barbarism,” then you are at risk.

Many people buy furniture secondhand without any preconceptions. And the IKEA brand speaks for itself. On the official website you can see the real price of a particular item and compare it with what is written in the ad.

Reviews about quality

It is practically impossible to find negative reviews about this storage system on the Internet. Even if there are some complaints about the cabinets, they are offset by the convenience of modeling any space inside. 95% of users note that the cabinet fits perfectly into any design, from Asian to ultra-modern.

Everyone, as one, says that assembling furniture is simple, there are enough instructions, but if you don’t have 5-6 hours to spare for assembly, then it’s better to call a specialist, he will do it twice as fast.

Particular emphasis in the reviews is placed on the assembly of mirrored doors, which are very massive and heavy. Before hanging doors, customers recommend screwing the cabinet to the wall to prevent it from falling. Judging by the experience of many users, it is not worth ordering completely mirrored doors. When opening, your fingers touch the glass and unsightly fingerprints remain on it, which you have to wipe off several times a day.

A simple test for the quality of IKEA furniture

Over the course of so many decades, stores on the Russian markets not only have not gone bankrupt, but have also significantly increased their positions - new points are opening in different cities, the assortment is expanding, and there are always queues at the checkouts. This is the easiest way to determine product quality. If people still buy furniture there, then it's worth it. Word of mouth and reviews from friends play an important role when choosing. I have not met a person who would say that the furniture from this store fell apart before my eyes within a month. You may not like the price, design or style, but this furniture will definitely serve its service life. Millions of people cannot be wrong.

How to choose?

Before purchasing, decide how much space you are going to allocate for the closet. Measure the available space to determine the appropriate size for the product. Don't forget to take into account the height of the ceiling.

First of all, it is important to choose the type of cabinet doors. The decision should not depend solely on personal taste. Consider whether the doors will open easily in the allocated space, and whether something will interfere with them. The internal filling should be chosen based on what items will be stored in the wardrobe.

The external design of the selected model should be in harmony with the interior. It is necessary to take into account the color scheme of the walls and floor, the design of other furniture, and the dimensions of the room. Remember that light colors and mirror elements expand the space.

A wardrobe with a full-length mirror will also serve a practical function, which is especially important for the hallway.

Beech color shades

The color of beech furniture is actively used to create furniture designs. It has interesting shades, among which are the most original ones that can decorate any room.

Basic beech color palette:

Beech Light, silver and gold. The coverage can be sheer or intense. Furniture of this shade fits perfectly into the techno, modern, and baroque styles.

White beech. This is one of the natural colors of beech. Products in this range are perfect for country furniture, sets for country houses, and country-style interiors.

Bleached beech. To give furniture a similar shade, the wood is treated with steam, then painted and dried. This is a noble color, stylish and natural.

Natural Country Beech (H3991 ST10)

Beech Elmau (H1582 ST15)

Beech Bavaria (H1511 ST15). The most popular shade. Used for all types of furniture.

Beech with flower cut

Beech Nevsky

Smoked beech (H1586 St15)

Beech Sound

Beech Pink

You can replace the beech color with similar shades of wood:

• Mountain light larch. This shade will be a little warmer and will give the room a softer feel.
• Alder. This is a wonderful honey color for furniture, it is delicate and suitable for various interior design solutions.
• Light apple tree Locarno. The shade is characterized by a yellow-brown color scheme; it is pleasant, warm, but slightly darker than beech.
• Baltimore Oak. A calm shade, perfect for the bedroom and living room, it is very gentle, but at the same time rich, enveloping, and refined.
• Cherry. Rich color makes the furniture elegant and luxurious, emphasizes the decoration of the room, gives the room coziness and well-being.

You can emphasize the color accents of beech furniture using accessories and decorative items.

Bookcases

If among the residents there are lovers of reading, the bookcases that are shown in the photo of the Ikea catalog are suitable for organizing a recreation area or an entire library. These are open and combined models, complemented by closed sections. The range includes spacious, compact and corner models. If there are a lot of books, create a combination of several shelves. Choose solid or transparent glass doors.

Different shades: black-brown, bleached oak, light brown, white, beige. By choosing the optimal configuration and color scheme, you can organically fit the bookcase into any interior.
