Is IKEA IVAR suitable for a dressing room? Alternatives?

But that would again leave open how you want to realize the corner.

If you don’t use a corner Ivar, then I would probably put normal Ivars to the right and left next to the corner and equip the corner with a proper door. Then you can throw whatever you want behind the door. Either a vacuum cleaner and other tall and bulky items or custom-made shelves to measure. The advantage is that the "corner cabinet" can be as big or as small as you want. The further the Ivars are to the right and left away from the corner, the bigger the cabinet will be. Although corners, no matter how they are equipped, are never super practical. They just look like they are. All camouflage. :D

may we also see photos of your solution? The banana crates sound interesting.

And you can't use the pants hanger as a pull-out drawer, can you?

I also really like IVAR and had many shelves of it as a teenager, but eventually it all got thrown out... later I then had a metal shelving system, infinitely durable and flexible... also thrown out. And now I would have to buy it again expensively. I don't know why I didn't think ahead at all.

What always really bothered me about IVAR, though, was not being able to wipe it properly and that things would sometimes stick to the shelves/pull threads/produce splinters. So as a wardrobe... hmm... maybe annoying at some point?

, yes, it does extend far enough to hang pants nicely over it. One could argue... you can also fold the pants. But I definitely wanted everything hanging; the clothes just stay smoother that way. Only underwear, socks, sweaters, and scarves etc. are in the drawers. For long hanging clothes, I have an old 60s tall cabinet standing next to the Paxes there. And opposite that, an old 60s shelf 30 cm deep for bedding etc. That was a millimeter plan. In that section of the room, an old chimney shaft was also clad, and when my landlord did that, I checked the measurements daily to see if the planned Paxes would still fit. I was just able to slide the two 75 cm units in like that. They will definitely never fall over ;). And my conclusion after 11 years, with the room and the conditions, I would do it the same way again. Although I’m also an old Ivar fan. My oldest shelf is from 1981 ;). I also had custom boards made for the storage room. There too, Ivar fits from wall to wall at 132 cm and simply cannot fall over. The study with IVAR was already in view. And then the rest of IVAR moved to the basement. .. I also find the Ivar corners rather impractical. I used to have both a small one (30 cm deep) and a large one. I would always try to create a "craft" solution around the corner. You just have to do some kind of storage planning beforehand, like in kitchen planning ;), you know.

I have also been using the deep shelves of Ivar for almost 20 years as a storage solution in storage rooms, attics, and utility rooms/[HAR]. Certainly not cheap for that purpose, but in my opinion optimal. As a wardrobe replacement without further treatment, it wouldn't quite make sense to me either. The wood would be too roughly processed (e.g. splinters and resin). And if you later want a detailed solution from a wardrobe system, it won't work because, for example, you don't have fixed side panels/back panels.

Pleaseee, here are a few photos. "Banana boxes in Ivar" is the name of the still life. :D I know that Marie Konto would get a shock. So you don’t have to mention it again. Hopefully she’s not reading here. :D

My Ivar is still provisional, but unfortunately quite functional. So the "tidying up" is dragging on a bit over the years. :eek: :D

This is the curtain. Sturdy cotton fabric with fine ribbing or something similar. The back part of the cabinet will be dismantled again when the boxes are unpacked. ;)

I simply shortened the banana box lids with a sharp kitchen knife. And that’s how I got super space-saving "drawers." Very sturdy, don’t squeak, cost nothing, and are very easy to beautify. I can only recommend it.

Also, the banana box drawers proved to be extremely practical during the move. I could take them along without having to unpack. :cool:

I find such lifehacks cool. I wouldn't be allowed to come to my wife with something like that. She already finds the textile boxes I bought during my bachelor days terrible. I always have to rescue one from garbage bags...
