Ikea Bedroom Design Tool
At the beginning of March, just before everything started to close, we were able to run to IKEA and pick out everything for our master cabinet. We are so grateful for that as we still have work to do at home next month! But let’s try to remember what this house used to be like.

Nothing really. It doesn’t even exist! As a reminder, this is open space on the second floor above what the previous owner used as a restaurant downstairs. We added a floor, fenced it in and opened it up in the master bath for our new master suite.
This is our third time using an IKEA PAX wardrobe, the last time in our previous master wardrobe, and anyone who has made an IKEA PAX wardrobe knows that the first hurdle you have to deal with is planning.
Before using the IKEA planner, there are a few things you need to know. First, they are Flash-based browser applications. Speaking of which, some of you are bound to be thinking, “Um… what’s the point?” while others will think, “Oh, oops.” Things move fast, and Flash is a programming platform that was once all the rage, but modern browsers hate it. It drains batteries quickly and has ongoing security issues (ie leaves your computer vulnerable to malware and Internet-based attacks).
At some point (I hope in the near future) IKEA will have to update the organizer. When this happens, hopefully many of the usability issues you see in current planners will no longer exist. But in the meantime, here are some best practices for using the IKEA PAX planner (or any space planner for that matter):

• Choose the right browser. Safari is terrible at this, so avoid it. Chrome works best for now, but they are dropping support for Flash soon. You can get Firefox and Internet Explorer (or now Edge) add-ons that usually work.
• If it does not respond when clicked, it is “thinking”. Wait at least 30 seconds before clicking anything else, otherwise something unexpected will happen and all your plans may be ruined (too many boxes added, drawers in the wrong place, etc.)
• Make sure nothing is selected when trying to pan the camera angle. If you have an item selected, it doesn’t move the view, it moves what’s selected, and it can be very difficult to undo.
In short, be patient. He wants to stop, he wants to go fast, he wants to put things in a horrible place. But take your time and you’ll be fine.
Ikea Pax Vs Custom Wardrobes
When you first open the tool, it starts with a square generic space. You must first make it your space, walls, doors, openings, windows, everything. You can change the color of the walls and floor, but we don’t care about that here. First, click on the Create Wall option.
You can resize the walls by entering measurements in the size box on the right side of the page or by holding down the anchor points (the circles where the sides of the wall meet) and dragging them. You can also click the Split Wall button to split the wall into as many parts as you want, then click and drag an anchor point into place.
Once you have the layout of the house, you can click the green “Go” button and add any available doors or windows. Door and window fields are adjusted in the same way as walls, by clicking and dragging and placing targets in the right panel.
The hardest part of the IKEA PAX storage system is getting it to fit perfectly. Available in three different widths, each in two heights and two depths. You can also choose between three cabinet colors – so much flexibility. Still, make sure there is at least 1/2 inch of space between each cabinet and the wall, and at least 1.5 inches of space between the cabinet and the ceiling. You can (and should) add trim/moulding to your PAX system to close these gaps and give yourself a clean, traditional, built-in look.
Venture Into The Woods
Use the filters in the Frames section to narrow the options displayed so you only use cabinets that fit your space. Just click and hold the desired cabinet in the right menu and drag it to the model area on the left.
Once you have an external cabinet and focus on it, you can start customizing it using the menu options on the right. Everything is optional, and there are tons of things you can choose from – for example, for our house, we don’t even have doors (except for a closet, which we’ll explain in another post). In this article we add some internal post-processors.
As with the other methods, you can click and drag the desired organizer to where you want it in the closet. When you do, you’ll see a scale that will help you clean up more efficiently.
There are many options at your disposal, but one tip we would like to give is if you are going to have a drawer on the bottom, be sure to add a shelf above the top drawer to help close it. It is simple, but helps to achieve a “traditional” effect.

That’s all it takes! This is a well-designed tool – any problems you encounter will likely be caused by the Flash platform, not the programming of the program. Our wardrobes follow all these steps. Here is our arrangement:
It’s like the setup in the example above, only smaller. But there is more space for wardrobes. Here is the translated result after we finished planning:
The best part is of course the price. After VAT, the entire cabinet system cost around $2,000. We’d spend another $500 or so for lumber, moldings, trim, and paint to make it look like it was actually installed, but $2,500 is nowhere near the $15,000+ quote we’re asking for a custom cabinet. When we do, you won’t know the difference. Of course we can’t wait to show you.
But I have to say, we started climbing up the closet and this is where we stand this morning:

There are a few things the translation does not show. The rear insert will have shoe shelves and there will be a pivoting mirror a few feet from the shoes (we’d love to see a custom place to do this) so you can still reach the rear view mirror. We decided to put a desk/dresser in front of the bedroom window as well. We were going to make more cabinets, but really wanted to sit and work in an empty or quiet area and look out the windows.
There’s a nice lamp in the center (I think we’ll add tapestries on either side of the forest wall as well) that will hang above the leather pouf. We feel it’s very important on the island, so we’re getting an ottoman now, and I’m so happy! We will paint the walls, cupboards and trim all in one color – Farrow & Ball Lamp Room Grey. It’s the color of our living room decor, so it would be nice to use it a lot in this space. You can see the vintage table, the chairs that go with it, and the rug I chose for the space.
Demonstrations are the most popular at the moment. We will of course use our curved mirror elsewhere in the room (I can think of 100 places), but we will try to find someone to make the mirror in my head. I got some advice about calling a mirror or mechanic shop so I can start there.
This week we are hard at work building a closet and building it! We’ll be sure to share exactly how we did it next week!
