When we moved into our new home last summer, sorting storage for our bedroom was a top priority. Fitted wardrobes were the dream, but there was no way our budget could stretch to bespoke built-ins. So, as always, I turned to TikTok for some DIY inspiration and decided to give the iconic IKEA PAX wardrobe hack a go.
The modular IKEA PAX system is much-loved for how customizable it is, both internally and externally. Making it look built-in basically involves building a wooden frame or base, covering any gaps with some MDF panels, and using filler to give the whole unit a really seamless finish. The result? A custom-built look, for a far more reasonable price.
