How to organise and smarten the inside of your PAX wardrobe
KOMPLEMENT interior organisers and the PAX wardrobe system are your wardrobe dream team. They work together in all sorts of ways to help you create a wardrobe solution optimised for your needs. Once you’ve chosen your PAX frames, customise the interior with a unique mix of organisers to suit your things. This guide shows you how!
Clothes rails that fit just right
Hanging storage is the foundation of your wardrobe. It helps to keep bulky things like dresses, blouses, jackets and coats tidy and wrinkle-free as well as easy to access. Work out how much hanging space you would need inside a wardrobe by measuring your clothes on their current rail. What do you have a lot of? If it’s blouses and jackets, you could have two rails of hanging space in one wardrobe. For mostly longer items, a single rail at the top will do. When there’s a mix of long and short clothing, go for a single rail and put a frame divider in the space below the shorter clothes for more storage options.
Maximise the space with shelves
Adjustable shelves can go a long way to help make the most of the interior of your PAX closet. Arrange them at different heights to tailor the space for everything from bulky cardigans and handbags to cotton shirts and pyjamas. Since there are far less places to hide when you fold your clothes on shelves, it’s a great way to keep things in view, and it helps things like jumpers and other knitwear keep their shape.
Keep things together in drawers
Adding KOMPLEMENT soft-closing drawers into your wardrobe fires up the storage possibilities for larger things that like to be folded, like knitwear, jeans, and t-shirts. If you need your clothes to have more air circulating around them, get to know our mesh baskets. They add depth and texture to the overall look too. It creates a sleek, minimalist feel – helpful if you are choosing to have a wardrobe without doors. You can also choose to add knobs and handles to the drawers to finish the look, too.
Organise small items with boxes
Keeping track of those smaller items of clothing is a lot easier when they are stored in manageable containers. It’s why KOMPLEMENT felt boxes are perfect for organising things like underwear and socks. And as they are also dimensioned to fit into PAX drawers they give you lots of opportunities to creatively make the most of the space so you have clearly visible compartments for different things. Fold and arrange items in boxes in different ways – by colour, size, type or pattern – so everything looks neat and ordered, and you don’t create chaos when you need to take anything out.
Make your space work harder with frame dividers
Frame dividers help you make smart use of space if you don’t have lots of long items to hang up, by putting leftover space at the bottom of the wardrobe to good use. From shelves and drawers to clothes rails and mesh baskets, frame dividers hold different types of storage, so you can create new homes for all sorts of clothing and accessories. Customising the inside of your wardrobe like this enables you to create wardrobe storage that works exactly the way you want it.
Give trousers their own hangers
While some trousers – jeans for one – are happy folded in a drawer or on a shelf, others much prefer to be hung. Which is why our pull-out trouser hangers were invented! By helping trousers retain their shape, pull-out trouser hangers reduce the need for time-consuming ironing. Coming in a range of sizes to fit all our different wardrobe frames, each hanger has evenly divided rails for a clear overview of your trousers, making outfit choices a bit easier. The smooth-running rail has a pull-out stop, giving it a solid, built-in feeling.
What’s in your pull-out tray?
All small clothing accessories are not created the same, but with our KOMPLEMENT pull-out trays, that’s no problem! Neat and compact, the pull-out trays simply slide into your wardrobe, bringing lots of different storage possibilities with them. Use them as they are, or pair them up with a divider that fits with your accessories. Whether you want to organise belts and ties, sunglasses and watches, or rings and other jewellery, you’ll find a divider that works with them all. Pro tip: make it easier to access the different parts of the trays by putting the larger compartments at the back of the drawer.
Shoes shelves to keep your best shoes shining
Because there’s more than one way to organise your shoes, we have more than one KOMPLEMENT organiser to do it. Whether you need to store lots of pairs of shoes or just a few, our shoe organisers give you a range of solutions – simply choose the one that works for your shoes and your wardrobe. Our pull-out shoe shelf is the powerhouse of shoe organisers. With shoes stored on two levels, it maximises space in your wardrobe. You’ll also find a shoe insert for a pull-out tray and a shoe shelf. They both have slanted supports, giving you an easy overview of your shoes to make outfit decisions that bit easier.
Light it all up!
Once your wardrobe’s organised, add lighting so everything’s visible when you need it to be – a great help on those dark early mornings. Our range of integrated lighting lets you put lighting in different areas of your PAX wardrobe – whether that’s under a glass shelf lighting up a pull out tray, or at the top to light up the hanging rails. It switches on and off with a sensor when you open and close the doors, and some of the options are dimmable. The ÖVERSIDAN series of LED lighting also comes in colours that match some of our PAX frames. Outside, go for maximum visibility with lighting on top of the wardrobe, or in the ceiling above. Coordinate it with the rest of your bedroom lighting to enhance the mood.
Optimise your wardrobe with SKUBB boxes
Got the rails, shelves, pull-out hangers and drawers sorted but still got leftover space? Add some SKUBB storage! The SKUBB series is full of smart storage boxes and organisers that easily fit into all kinds of different spaces in your PAX wardrobe – on shelves, at the bottom, even on hanging rails. The boxes come in various sizes and are dimensioned to fit on shelves in PAX wardrobe frames. They come in a range of colours that work well with all our PAX wardrobes, so will look good wherever they are.
