IKEA is perhaps the most famous furniture and home decor producer all over the world, and that’s for a certain reason: year after year IKEA designers offer us simple and elegant pieces that can be integrated into almost any space and even if not – you can hack them to make them a fit! One of such items is IKEA Pax wardrobe, which is a nice storage unit for your clothes and shoes. Due to its simple look, it’s often hacked by homeowners to make it a better match for a space, and we’ve gathered the coolest ideas to inspire you.
Mirror Detailing
Mirrors are a great idea to spruce up the doors of a Pax wardrobe because they will reflect the light and expand the space. You may go for framed mirror doors with some eye-catchy handles or with mirror doors with criss-cross frames for a classic look. The frames can be not only white – try slate blue, muted green, navy or some other shade that fits your home decor. An easier idea is to add small cutout mirrors to the doors and some knobs – such a hack won’t take much time and looks cool.

Painting Or Changing Doors
The most popular IKEA Pax hack is repainting the doors or changing them completely. The first is an easy hack: paint the doors with the color that you like and that fits your interior: anything from blush to emerald is welcome! If you are going for a seamless or built-in look, consider using the same paint color as for the walls. Find some creative handles or knobs that fit the new look: leather ones, brass handles, vintage knobs or other pieces. Changing the doors will be a bit more difficult but it’s worth it! Remove the existing doors and install wooden or plywood ones, chic trim or sleek and shiny glass ones. The handles and knobs are again up to you and the look you want to achieve.
