Creating Your Wardrobe

By combining frames and doors from the PAX series with items from the KOMPLEMENT series of interior organizers, you can create exactly the wardrobe you need. Follow these steps:

  1. Use our planning tools to design your wardrobe. You can use the planner found in the PAX area of the store or visit the PAX planner on the IKEA website at IKEA-USA.com/PAXplanner.
  2. Choose a pre-designed combination from the ready-made combinations on the web or in the planner gallery, or design your unique combination from scratch.
  3. Pick your style by selecting the color of your wardrobe. There is a wide selection of doors available in different colors.
  4. Choose interior organizers based on your day-to-day needs. For example, select a pull-out tray with shoe inserts if you have a lot of shoes, or a pants hanger if you have many pants. Deep baskets are suitable for storing clothes neatly.

Do It Yourself or Let Us Help

You have the option to assemble the wardrobe yourself or take advantage of our service offers, such as home delivery and assembly. Visit IKEA- USA.com/services for more information.

Choose your wardrobe

  • We have a wide range of PAX/KOMPLEMENT combinations to choose from which you can find in the store or on our website at IKEA-USA.com.
  • If you don’t find a pre-designed solution that you like, you can use our PAX planner to create the perfect solution that suits your needs and tastes.
  • Begin by looking through the ready-made combinations on the web or in the planner gallery and choose one that inspires you.
  • You will then have a pre-designed combination to start from that you can customize to your needs. You can, for example, change the size and the color of the wardrobe, or the interior organizers.
  • You can also use the planner to design your own unique
  • PAX/KOMPLEMENT combination from scratch. There are three simple steps to follow when choosing your wardrobe solution.
  1. Choose frames. Consider how much space you have available in your room. It´s important to know the maximum height and width of your new wardrobe. Remember, you can also make the most of unused space with corner units.
  2. Pick your style. What color do you want your wardrobe to be? We can offer a wide selection selection of doors in different colors.

Good to know the measurements

  • Choose interior organizers. Think through your day-to-day needs. Do you have a lot of shoes? Then a pullout tray with shoe inserts could be a good option for you. Or perhaps you have a lot of pants? Then a pants hanger will come in handy.
  • If you keep your summer and winter clothes in the same place, deep baskets will store your clothes neatly away.
  • Once you have decided on the interior organizers, it’s time to add the finishing touches. Complete your new wardrobe with your choice of boxes and inserts from our extensive range of interior accessories.
  • And for a great result, don’t forget the integrated lighting! Simple to install and makes it so much easier for you to find the right outfit.
  • The PAX/KOMPLEMENT planner helps you to calculate the price of your wardrobe and allows you to print or save a product list that you can bring to the store or use to buy online.
  • The planner can be found in the wardrobe area of the store or the comfort of your own home. Just visit the wardrobe department on IKEA-USA.com and go to the PAX wardrobe planner: IKEA-USA.com/PAXplanner
