Make your own IKEA PAX furniture for the nursery, by Renée

Custom storage solution for the children's room with IKEA PAX

Do you also dream of a personalized storage solution that seamlessly matches the style and needs of your child's room? Renée shows you how to realize such a project yourself, using custom materials from OPMAATZAGEN.nl and a standard IKEA PAX wardrobe as a base.

The process from planning to execution

The process starts with the inspection and selection of the right materials. For this project, MDF Lacquer foil of 18 mm thickness was chosen, which is ideal for a sleek and durable end result. The panels for the IB KEA PAX cabinet were cut to size by TOSIZE.dk, which guarantees a precise fit.

The creative transformation

Renée transformed the standard IKEA PAX wardrobe into a unique piece of furniture by carefully preparing and painting the panels, which you can see in the photos. The sober, light gray color fits perfectly with the calm atmosphere of the children's room and the minimalist style of the bed and the other furniture.

Why make it yourself?

Customizing an IKEA PAX wardrobe yourself offers unprecedented flexibility in size and choice of materials. You control the budget and create something that is special and unique to you. In addition, you can fill in the finishing, such as the color and handles, completely to your own taste.

The perfect match in the nursery

The newly designed cabinet now takes pride of place in the children's room, where the minimalist design and calm colour scheme perfectly match the look of the room. The cabinet offers ample storage space without overwhelming the room.

Stylish & Functional

The project is not only practical, but also contributes to the look of the room. The simple lines and modernist handles give the room a timeless charm and functionality that grows with the child.

The advantages of MDF lacquer carrier foil

MDF Paint Carrier Film is an excellent choice for furniture projects. The advantages are many, such as the smooth surface that is very suitable for painting and the consistency of the material, which makes it easy to work and assemble.
