Materials: PAX Wardrobe
Description: We started with 2 wide PAX units and 2 narrow PAX units. Our ceilings are not even 80" but our height options at IKEA were 96" or 75".€ We rolled the dice, bought 96รข€ units. Using a chop saw we cut them down to 80" and assembled using the instructions that came with the units.
We then screwed them all together and to the wall and built a hardwood face frame over the units to give it a solid, built in look. We split up the units in half by adding a custom hamper drawer and display shelving. This way we had the closet guts with a high quality frame and doors that will hold up to wear without spending a fortune.
Then my electrical engineer husband added lighting into the closet that automatically turns on and off when the door opens.
Last but definitely not least we built tongue and groove shaker style doors.
We added crown molding to the top to give it a custom look.

Wow this is stunning.
ReplyDeleteThat looks really cool! :)
ReplyDeleteI's like to do something like this but instead of clothes storage have desk areas for 4 people on a 20 feet living room wall with doors to close them off and hide the clutter. Does anybody have suggestions for what products to use for that?
ReplyDeleteWow this is by far one of the best hack jobs I've ever seen, awesome job!
ReplyDeleteImpressive! I want one :) Kuddos to a job well done.

I'm in love with this closet! This is such a great idea!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks very nice, but look like alot of work been put in.
ReplyDeleteWe had very similar situation, but we decide to go other way.
My wife rang few companies to get quotes and for our surprise company called kleiderhaus came over and gave us very competative quote, around 40% cheaper then all other companies we approach, we was slightly woried that they were that cheap, but we been explained that this company just recently moved to uk market.
It was abit more then if we would by from ikea, but then again it was built all around us.
Anyway, i would definitely recommend this company, quality a lot higher than IKEA and it didn't cost arm and a leg.
I believe this is their website http://www.kleiderhaus.co.uk
What did you use for the center display shelves? Looks great!
