IKEA PLATSA Frames System Instruction Manual
Storage and media solutions
The different sizes of frames makes PLATSA a modular system that creates flexibility in your home. Build a solution under your staircase, around a window or above a door, the possibilities are many. By combining frames from the PLATSA series with items from the HJÄLPA and LÄTTHET series of interiors and exteriors, you can create exactly the solution you need. You can also choose one of our suggested combinations and add or remove interiors and exteriors as you wish. Whatever you choose, the result is a solution to suit both your home and your storage needs.
Easy assembly and disassembly
Thanks to the wedge dowel fitting the PLATSA frames are quick and easy to
assemble and disassemble, making it easy to bring your storage solution with
you when you move. Just click the pieces together, no tools needed.
PLATSA open
PLATSA open are solitary frames which include adjustable interiors. These
frames do not have the wedge dowel fittings like
other PLATSA frames, but by developing a simple construction we have minimised
the assembly time.
Safety
For safety reasons, always attach PLATSA frames to a wall. Since different
wall materials require different fixing devices, these are sold separately. If
you stack several PLATSA frames on top of each other, you need to attach the
frames placed at 3 metres or above to the wall using LÄTTHET suspension rail.
Also, use LÄTTHET suspension rail for PLATSA frames that are being mounted
hanging on the wall. Warning! Do not hang PLATSA frame with depth 55 cm on a
wall. It must be placed standing on the floor or stacked on another floor
standing frame.
How to build
Choose your solution
We have a wide range of PLATSA combinations to choose from which you can find
in the store or on our website at www.IKEA.com. If you
don’t find a pre-designed solution that you like, you can create the perfect
combination that suits your needs and taste on your own. Begin by looking
through the ready-made combinations on the web 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 use the PLATSA home planner tool online to
design your own unique PLATSA combination from scratch. There are 3 simple
steps to follow:
- Choose frames. Consider how much space you have available in your room. Remember, you can also make the most of unused space with the different sizes of the frames available.
- Pick your style on doors. What style do you want your ward- robe to be? Do you wish for a plain white door, or a door in the more traditional style? Maybe dark grey? The choice is yours.
- Choose interiors and exteriors. Think through your day- to-day needs and what you need to store. Once you have decided on the interiors and exteriors, 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 easier for you to find the right outfit.

Sleep and storage solutions
PLATSA bed covers your sleep and storage needs helping you create your own
oasis in the smallest of places. Together with
PLATSA system you can have both a space for privacy and a home for all your
things. With the PLATSA bed you save floor
space by gathering sleep and storage in one place. Use this versatile bed as a
room divider, part of a walk-in closet solution
or placed freestanding in the middle of the room to create an interesting room
dynamic.
Build your own solution to solve your storage needs by adding 60/120/180 cm
high and 40 cm deep PLATSA frames on top of the footboard. Complete with
LÄTTHET footboard panel, HJÄLPA interiors and doors. Three sides underneath
the bed can be personalised with the help of HJÄLPA interiors and storage
boxes.
Slats, legs and top panel is included in the bed.
LÄTTHET footboard panel puts the final touch on the storage solution that you
build onto your PLATSA bed. It creates stability and a smooth, even surface on
the back of the PLATSA frames giving a finished look.
Easy assembly and disassembly
Thanks to the wedge dowel fitting the PLATSA bed is quick and easy to assemble
and disassemble, making it easy to bring your solution with you when you move.
Safety
Maximum building height from the floor to the top of the footboard (excluding
top panel), is 220 cm. Warning! Do not drill
holes into the footboard panel. To make the white surface of the footboard
panel more decorative you can use no drill hooks, such as LILLÅNGEN hanger for
doors, to hang two RIBBA frames (61×91 cm). Maximum load is 6 kg.
How to build
Choose your solution
We have several PLATSA bed combinations to choose from, both in the store or
on our website at www.IKEA.com. If you don’t find a pre-designed solution that
you like, you can create the perfect combination that suits your needs and
taste on your own. Begin by looking through the ready-made combinations on the
web 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 height of the storage solution, or the interiors. You can
also design your own unique PLATSA bed combination from scratch. There are 6
simple steps to follow:
- Bed frame. Consider your storage needs and how the bed will be placed in your room. Will you be able to use the stor age space on all three sides underneath the bed?
- Choose frames for the footboard. Consider the role of the bed and how high you need to build it. Will it be a room divider, do you need storage for hanging and/or folded clothes, or will it be a place for your books and trophies?
- Footboard panel. Choose the amount of footboard panels needed. The panel is 60 cm high which means you can build with 60/120/180 cm high frames.
- Choose interiors. Think through your day-to-day needs and what you need to store. Once you have decided on the interiors, it’s time to add the finishing touches. Complete your new bed solution 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 easier for you to find the right outfit.
- Pick your style on doors and drawer fronts. What style do you want your wardrobe to be? Do you wish for a plain white door, or a door in the more traditional style? Maybe dark grey? The choice is yours.
- Choose your mattress and mattress topper. The mattress needs to be between 120-140 cm wide and 200 cm long.

How to build and place HJÄLPA adjustable clothes rail
Hanging storage for big and small things
All items in the HJÄLPA series are designed to go with PLATSA storage system.
Maximise space and keep things organised
inside and outside your system with adjustable clothes rails, suspension
rails, fittings and hooks. The adjustable clothes rail
is perfect for everything from shirts and blouses to suit jackets and coats –
remember to use the fittings when mounting the clothes rail to a frame. And
put the hooks on the suspension rails to hang ties, handbags and jewellery.
Storage inside and outside your wardrobes
You can use HJÄLPA adjustable clothes rail with a length of 60–100 cm on the
inside of your frame, between two frames,
between a frame and a wall or between two walls. The width or depth of your
PLATSA frame doesn’t matter since the clothes rail can be adjusted and the
suspension rails are positioned at the same depth as the frames.
Placed inside frame
Placed between frame and wall
Storage outside your wardrobe
HJÄLPA adjustable clothes rail with a length of 30–47 cm can only be used on
the outside of one frame – between frames,
between a frame and wall or between walls. The width or depth of your PLATSA
frame doesn’t matter since the suspension rails are positioned at the same
depth as the frames.
The correct number of fittings
When you mount HJÄLPA adjustable clothes rail between frames, you need 2
packages of HJÄLPA fittings. If you mount
the clothes rail between a frame and a wall, 1 package is enough. If you plan
to have the clothes rail between two walls, no fittings are needed.
Placed outside frame
Interiors
Create custom organisation on the inside of PLATSA frames and PLATSA bed with HJÄLPA hangers, rails, shelves, drawers and wire baskets. All HJÄLPA pieces are designed to work with PLATSA, so the width and depth match the corresponding frame. Actual dimensions vary.
Exteriors
Hinges, legs, tops and other functions
Adjustable LÄTTHET legs keep your wardrobe standing straight on uneven floors.
SPILDRA tops add extra display and storage surfaces on all frames.
Ready-made combinations
Doors are included in the price but not shown in the illustration. You can

partner to find things in the morning. Instead, you can start your day in a
pleasant way as
you open your wardrobe and the soft light switches on.
How to choose integrated lighting
Now you don’t need to worry about getting bright light in your eyes or it
waking up your partner when you look for clothes.
Instead, you start the day when you open your wardrobe and the soft light from
our LED lighting strips turns on. Or choose
cabinet lighting placed on top of the wardrobe to help you see what’s on the
top shelf also provides a nice and cosy atmos-
phere in the entire room when the wardrobe doors are closed.
You can even connect to IKEA Smart lighting using the DIRIGERA hub.
Basic parts
See All parts list for more information about each product.
How to choose a driver
There are three LED drivers. Choose based on how many units you want to
connect. You can connect up to 3 units to the 10W LED driver, as long as the
total wattage does not exceed 10W.
The 30W LED driver can support up to 9 units, max. wattage 30W.
You can connect up to 10 drivers in one installation cord.
Flashing lights indicate that the maximum wattage of the LED driver is
exceeded. If you want to use more than one LED driver, make sure to
synchronise each LED driver with the TRÅDFRI wireless dimmer or STYRBAR remote
control so that the entire combination can be dimmed at the same time.
Make your cabinet lighting smart by adding the DIRIGERA hub. With the gateway,
you can control your lights from the IKEA Home smart app and create a mood
together with your other TRÅDFRI lighting.
