Hello,

I would like to install a new wardrobe in my bedroom.
I have 530cm width available.

Currently, I have planned 5# 100cm carcasses Pax. Now I have read that the 100cm shelves are quite unstable... should I bite the bullet and change everything to 50cm to make it really stable... but that would be almost twice as expensive... tsss...

Maybe you can help me,

thanks

Additional question:
Would you take everything in white, or the carcasses in dark and only the doors in white? I won’t see the carcasses when they are closed...

Hello, if you don't see the corpus, I would choose white. Then it is also a bit brighter in the cabinet even with somewhat weaker lighting.

You can also combine 50 and 100 cm corpuses. Depending on what should go into the cabinet. For a part with a clothes rail, I would, for example, take a 100 cm and place only lighter items on a shelf above it.

Make use of the furnishing options with drawers, dividers, etc., then at least partially 100 cm are also okay.

I would align myself with the Ikea expert regarding the corpus size. Although I have "only" 2.5m, I will also combine. 100cm for the part with the clothes rail and 50cm for the shelves.

Thank you very much, I will reschedule that then.

How is the wardrobe ideally illuminated? I’m thinking of mounting a Striberg strip at the top of each cabinet (or under the top shelf, but above the clothes rail). Are there other options for further down as well, or just more of the LEDs?

Thanks,

Christoph
