r/ikeahacks on Reddit: IKEA pax corner hack?
August 9, 2023 -
I am planning a walk-in closet with the shortest wall being 137 cm. When using IKEA's planner I found out that 1) I wasn't able to make the moduls fit wall to wall and 2) their corner module does not utilize the space fully because of a gap that the two modules make (not really a fan of that). I'll add a picture for reference.
I got to thinking and though that if I were to buy one 100 cm module and one 55 cm module, i could just cut down on the width of the 55 cm module and make it fit wall to wall perfectly. While thinking about that I started pondering the idea of making it seamless without the wall of the two modules and just joining the top and bottom plate. How do I make the join strong enough and how should i join them?
While I am at it - does the bottom panel of the module serve an important function? I want to remove it so I can see my floor instead of the PAX "floor".
All help and tips from you guys is appreciated as I am in need of it all.

No cabinet at all. Simply use the outsides of the two corner adjacent cabinets to add L-brackets to hold custom cut shelves that fit in between them. Use a piece of wood in the corner as back support for the shelves, and leave it open and exposed as open shelving in-between two closeted doors. Paint it all white, and you have added more storage.

Yes, you can have a corner unit made up of a 22.8" and a 13.7". The larger unit would be the 22.8" and then you use this add on (or the shorter version): https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/pax-add-on-corner-unit-with-4-shelves-white-80346941/ More on reddit.com

February 26, 2020 - 25cm of the frame’s width is covered by the adjacent corner unit. I left 50cm open for the door. Next, I mounted the door. It was then I realized the doors won’t open and close without knocking into each other. I needed a spacer between the two modules. Top view showing the space between the two PAX units

August 26, 2021 - For the left alcove, which is also roughly 105cm, we decided to extend the wardrobe around the corner and along the left hand side wall of the bedroom. With this type of configuration it is not possible with the PAX system to use a 100cm wide frame to go into the alcove, it has to be a 75cm frame as this can be connected to the corner attachment and enables a 50cm door to be fitted.

Hacking a Pax around a corner | by Chance Kirkland | Medium
May 1, 2017 - The only solution I could think of was to ‘improve’ one of the Pax-units and cut out a corner, both in all the shelves as in the right side and the back. So — as we say in the Netherlands: “Meten is weten” (to measure, is to know) — I took some measurements and a plan came together: Then came the easy part: cutting all the involved parts of the Pax-unit to size: My plan was to use only IKEA parts and not simply nail or screw the parts together, so I had to recreate all the clever cut-outs, holes and special bolts that IKEA uses (you know, the small round nuts that you tighten with a screwdriver).

Making Ikea Pax Wardrobes Look Built-In | Young House Love
Because on this side, I wanted the trim to be exactly flush with the side of the Pax box. You can also see above that we had already attached the trim on the front of the closet. Notice how much it hangs over the wardrobe box? But as you’ll see below, it’s perfectly flush with the door when it’s closed. Once your backer piece is nailed into place, you can cut and nail in your trim (aka: the molding that will actually be visible and give your closet a built-in look). Since we have an exposed corner, we chose to miter cut ours on an angle for the most polished look.
