Help me decide on my PAX wardrobe – struggling with door options!
PAX Wardrobe with both sliding and hinged doors
IKEA PAX Wardrobe with 3 sliding doors
As the other person stated, it’s not possible with that dimension. Easiest would be to have one be no door/open storage or have them all be hinged doors

Sorry for the repost, somehow I couldn't edit my original post, don't really know why as its my first time creating a post.
Hey everyone,
I’m moving into my new flat soon and planning to install an IKEA PAX system. I really like the matte VIKANES doors, but I’m not a fan of glossy finishes like FARDAL. My issue is that the space for the wardrobe is about 280 cm wide, and VIKANES doors only come in 50 cm widths, meaning I can only go up to 250 cm. That would leave a 30 cm gap, and I’m worried it might look awkward.
FARDAL, on the other hand, has a 25 cm option, which would allow for a perfect wall-to-wall fit—but I really don’t love the glossy finish. Another option would be to use VIKANES but incorporate a mirror door in the middle, which would allow it to fit the space. The problem is, I don’t particularly like mirror doors either.
So, my three options are:
-
Stick with VIKANES and live with the 30 cm gap—maybe fill it with a plant or decoration.
-
Go with FARDAL for a seamless wall-to-wall look, despite the glossy finish.
-
Use VIKANES but add a mirror in the middle to make it fit, even though I’m not a fan of mirrors on wardrobes.
Ive added some pictures to give an idea on the planned design. The walls will stay white except the one accent wall behind the bed, which will be in hague blue as you can see from the picture.
Am I overthinking the gap too much? Should I just go with the glossy doors for the perfect fit, or is there another creative solution I’m missing? I’ve already made so many design decisions that I feel a bit fatigued, so I’d really appreciate some input!
Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone,
I have 280cm in my wall and I would like to setup a 1m+1m PAX with sliding door + a 75cm PAX with hinged door (probably a mirror) or a 75cm+75cm sliding + 1m hinged
From the configurator I can't do that, but I don't understand what can be the problem, maybe the door will not open correctly? Or it's only a matter of configurator that doens't allow that but it's practically feasible?
Do you have any experience on making this combination? Maybe it's possible with some little hack...
Thank you very much
