I’m excited to take you inside our home again…this time into my makeshift closet! Our master bedroom has an attached loft space, which is what we decided would become my closet/dressing room. We didn’t have any other use for the loft space and the existing master closet is fairly small. I loved the idea of being able to have a separate space where I could store all of my clothes, accessories, beauty products and more. I knew I had to put in some sort of closet system, since it was just an empty loft before. I ended up deciding on the Pax System from IKEA. I went back and forth and mixed and matched so many different configurations for the system before deciding on this exact layout.
I was pleasantly surprised by how easily everything came together. I’ve built a lot of IKEA furniture in my lifetime. This was far easier than building a dresser, in my opinion. I did the whole system myself in about two days. I’m pleased with how it looks and functions for me. You’ll see that I allowed myself ample hanging space, as I hang most of my clothes. I opted to put drawers in the largest section, which house my tees, camis, loungewear and sweatshirts. I’ve been pretty surprised to find that I have more storage space than I can even use! The drawers aren’t full and those shelves on the left side are impressively deep! I added the baskets to the top to hold my seasonal clothes – right now, it’s heavy knits, scarves and hats, and bathing suits.
I love how it turned out! It’s fun to have a separate space where I can store all of these things and have a little fun while getting dressed each morning.
Here’s a breakdown of the configuration for the system:
in the 19 5/8″ wide frame (left):
+ komplement shelves
+ clothes rail
in the 29 1/2″ wide frame (right):
+ clothes rail
+ komplement divider for frame and the pull-out pants hanger
in the 39 3/8″ wide frame (middle):
+ clothes rail
+ komplement shelf
+ pull-out tray
+ glass front drawer
+ regular drawers

Looks so nice & organized! I'm so jealous of your shoe storage. My fiancรฉ and I live in a 650 sq foot shoebox right now, so optimizing space is key for us. I actually took your advice from a couple blog posts ago and bought some velvet hangers! I'm obsessed. Great job on your closet!!
Love this! So organized. That type of closet I would keep clean!
