This IKEA Pax Hack Turns a Kid's Closet from Basic to Bespoke — 'It's Totally Transformed the Space!'

An IKEA PAX closet painted a cream color with open shelving decorated with kids' toys and baskets.

IKEA's PAX closet system is a DIYer's dream. The affordable flatpack is fully customizable, and its pared-back Scandi design offers limitless possibilities to add a personal touch. Even if you're faced with an awkward space, this piece of furniture can bring your bespoke built-in vision into reality. 

That's exactly what happened when DIY guru Ashley Rack (@east_shore_home) decided to get creative with her daughter's bedroom. A dab hand at DIY, Ashley knew that she wanted to upgrade the awkward space with a seamless closet to streamline the whole room, and an IKEA hack was the obvious answer. The finished result looks so chic and totally transforms the space - not to mention it cost a fraction of the price of a regular bespoke unit! Here's how to recreate Ashley's stunning closet in your own home.
