Step-by-Step Guide with IKEA Pax wardrobe
Step 1: Start with IKEA Pax Wardrobes
The first step is to start with two IKEA Pax wardrobes. These are the bases for your custom built-in.
Step 2: Build a Base
Next, build a base that is level with your baseboards. This will ensure that your built-in sits evenly in your space.
Step 3: Secure the Wardrobes
Now, you’ll need to secure the wardrobes to the wall and to each other. Use a drill for this step to ensure a strong, secure fit.
Step 4: Add Doors and Trim
Next, add doors to your wardrobes. Use baseboard and side trim to conceal any gaps and give your built-in a seamless look.
Step 5: Add Crown Molding
Add crown molding to the top of your built-in for a truly finished look. This will give it a high-end, custom feel.
Step 6: Caulk and Sand
Finally, apply caulk to seams or gaps and sand down rough edges. This will give your custom built-in a smooth, professional finish.
Conclusion
With these steps, you can turn an ordinary IKEA Pax wardrobe into a stunning custom built-in. Thanks to @schraminator for this incredible transformation. This project shows the potential of IKEA furniture when given a little bit of creativity and DIY spirit.
