Hey everyone! Thanks so much for watching my original IKEA Pax Vlog (the building and gathering part). From that video I got a lot of questions about how I exactly planned my unit. Here it is!! Let me know the dimensions of a room your are working on and you might be selected for me to help you with the process with a video just like this! Let me know what you need the unit for as well in the comments below! xx Thanks for following along with Simplify Summer! Let's get organized!

Man I love ikea wardrobes, I used to have an old pax system 10 years ago and loved that one so much. Me and my boyfriend are moving to a new build house and will design a new pax system and it's a few months ahead but I can't wait. Definitely getting the same jewelry display you got, hopefully I will fit in both a long hanging section as well as a wardrobe for my boyfriend. he doesn't need as much space as I do though 😂

@AmandaWeldon 5 лет назад

Yes! I am so happy to hear it lasted for so long! I love those silent shut drawers as well and the fact that you can add doors if you like in the future. So exciting to hear you get to design a new one. There are so many options now! Also, same haha Scotty and I definitely don't have the same sized wardrobe 😂😂

Hi Amanda! Your video is very helpful. Ikea planning tool doesn’t work on a tablet, and I don’t own a laptop nor desktop. My walk in closet desperately needs this! The dimensions are: Width is 79”, 127” depth along one wall, the opposite wall is 107 inches (20 inches of it is taken up by the master bath).

Great flexible Pax system and clever planning tool… somehow you can view your final assembly in a sort of 3D which I discovered accidentally . But it’s a shame ikea can’t pick your order from the bins and deliver the whole thing, as that is truly a horrible experience ! I don’t know how I can face another trip to their store….but the Pax is a good system🤔

@AmandaWeldon 4 года назад

Sorry I missed this! I would say it is wise to have everything in place or a rough idea. When I was assembling though things did change on the fly according to the length of things. I think if you have a rough idea it will save you trips back to the store to return or purchase more of an item!

@alinaterzi2869 4 года назад

Amanda, thank you so much! Yes, I will be in a small studio and the closet will have to be in a small bedroom. The wall where the closet will go is 165”. The bed is 60” and plus about 25” to leave some room between bed and a closet. So I would say the closet can be about 75”- 85” long. The ceiling is like 10’ high. I use KonMari method so more folding clothes than hanging ☺️ I should also mention that I live in Maine and it’s cold here, so sweaters and big coats 😄

Pamy Thg hi Pany! I am almost 100% you can do a delivery with IKEA. Of course this will be an extra fee but I remember someone else saying they were going to do that! Not sure if this changes upon location but I'd say the best thing to do would be to call your local store ☺️
