I’d have definitely put one above the door too. To only would it look better but provide even more storage. Great job. It looks fantastic

@KatjaNordkvist День назад

Yes! Actually I wish we’d done that as well. Maybe one day 🙈 thank you so much 🫶🏼

@Ortholocks 8 месяцев назад

Another cabinet floating above the door would be an amazing built is cove look with a deep cased opening. Could be useful storage for winter items!

@craigcasseycoaching5542 2 месяца назад

Probably one of my favorite how to videos. After all I’ve watched I don’t think I’ve seen many be so specific and it’s my first time hearing about the need to include the depth of the doors in the side paneling which makes so much sense but is something I definitely would have overlooked. Thanks!

Thanks Katja for this super informative and easy to follow instructional video! You mention you painted the door fronts months before, was it quite easy to paint the Sannidal doors? Did you only use a primer or did you need to sand them first? Thanks so much!

@katjemeow Год назад

Hej! I also have a Platsa wardrobe and would like to paint the trims/molding I am applying to the doors and shelves. Any tips on finding the perfect paint that matches the existing Ikea color? Thanks!

@KatjaNordkvist Год назад

Hej! 😄 Yes, I know of a few RU-vidrs who also did this to avoid painting the whole cabinet. There’s something about it in this guide: emmacourtneyhome.com/painting-ikea-pax-and-other-furniture/

@goldfarmerfx 5 месяцев назад

Hi Can you please share how you painted the cabinets and doors? And what products you used? Thanks!

@KatjaNordkvist 5 месяцев назад

I sanded all of it before painting and then I used a regular square brush to prime all of it with a primer called Jotun heftegrunning. Then I used Jotun Supreme finish paint (medium glossy) and painted all of it twice. That’s it 😄

@alenadesiatova1193 Год назад

Hi i really like your video. But i still didn't understand what kind of doors you've been used in your project? It looks much better than ikea doors.

@KatjaNordkvist Год назад

Hi, thank you 🫶🏼 the doors are also from IKEA (I just painted them) and they’re called SANNIDAL.

@user-it5gk5qe6g Год назад

Hi! Thanks for all the cool inspiration! I'm making a project similar to yours and have a few questions. First, around 12:40, you say that for the doors to be in the right position when closed you need to put in a shelve on the other side. What do you mean by that? Another question: in the video you say that the base is 140x55cm, but since it's sticking out, it must be a little more than that? like 56,6 deep? (cabinet + door) and how thick is the MDF you used? somewhere in the video you say it's 16 mm but it looks thinner. Hope you can help me! :)

@KatjaNordkvist Год назад

Hi! You’re welcome, thanks for watching 🙏🏼 1) If you don’t put in the shelf, the doors will kind of lean inwards a little bit, and not be aligned with the other doors. They need the “support” of the shelf. 2) It is 140 x 55 cm but we put a piece of MDF on the outside which is 16 mm but you can also just build a base/platform completely out of MDF that measures 140 x 56,6 cm. That’s probably easier in many ways 😄 We just had some extra wood and decided to use that for the platform and put the 16 mm MDF piece on the outside afterwards. 3) the piece on the bottom is 16 mm thick, the pieces on the sides are thinner - 12 mm if I remember correctly!

@pierrex3226 10 месяцев назад

In real life platsa cupboards are dog shyte, the quality is incredibly low for something coming from IKEA. In your video, it looks nice. Well done. Having been to IKEA, I'm never buying platsa stuff, unless and until they improve it.

@KatjaNordkvist 10 месяцев назад

The quality is lower than their Pax wardrobes, I think so too! Thank you! I think all the extra MDF makes it feel more sturdy, because the platsa cabinets themselves are made of a very light material and thus feel kinda fragile. But I like how the drawers feel when pulling them out!

@samantharomero1947 21 день назад

What is your rough estimate of how much the entire project costed you?

@KatjaNordkvist 19 дней назад

About 1000 EUR 😅 probably a little less since the PLATSA cabinets doesn’t cost that much!

You should know that Platsa design comes with hardware to stack to each other and secure it...and dont need to screw in wirh each other. This is to avoid the cabinet to crack

@allyg47 Год назад

Well that sucks! I was excited about finally finding something that would work in my basement bedroom under the low ceilings. Pax units are too tall. I didn't want to have to cut them down and figure out how to get the doors to fit but it looks like that's what I'm going to have to do. :(
