The New And Stylish IKEA Solution To Replace Boring PAX Closet Doors

Scandinavian design favors simplicity and functionality, and there's obvious appeal in its clean lines and minimalist aesthetic. But the pendulum of design trends is always swinging, and maximalism is enjoying a comeback — think louder colors, mix-and-match patterns, and rooms with personality. If you're tired of looking at plain closet doors, replace them with IKEA's flashy new LUNDBRÄSMA checkered glass panels, which slot into sliding closet door frames. They'll add some texture and sparkle.

These attractive closet add-ons start at $130 for the 29½-inch by 79⅛-inch panels and are sold in a set of four. The LUNDBRÄSMA panels are made from checkered glass that leaves just a little of your closet's contents visible. The textured surface also helps bounce light around a room when you open and close the doors. At the time of writing, there is only one review for the LUNDBRÄSMA panels, written in Portuguese. In this five-star review, the verified customer, Fatima, wrote that installing LUNDBRÄSMA panels on their closet made it look more elegant.

You can install LUNDBRÄSMA in the sliding door frames of IKEA's SKYTTA or PAX closets. However, the narrower SKYTTA sliding door frames are currently categorized as Last Chance products and will eventually be replaced by PAX frames. SKYTTA sliding door frame reviews vary, with the white doors rated an average of 4 stars across 18 reviews and the black doors earning 4.6 stars across 27 reviews. Customers have given PAX sliding door frames an average of 4.3 stars across 470 reviews, noting that the frames are well-built and easier to install than SKYTTA.

IKEA's PAX closet system is beloved for its customization. IKEA offers multiple door styles — ranging from warm wood to bold mirror glass — providing an affordable way to completely change the feel of a room. The assortment of drawers, clothing rails, shoe racks, and jewelry trays available for PAX closets is an IKEA bedroom hack that has changed storage and organization as we know it.

Since you no doubt invested a chunk of time and money into customizing the inside of your PAX closet, why not show it off instead of hiding it behind boring, opaque doors? Switching out plain closet doors for fluted, checkered, or frosted glass is an aesthetically pleasing closet door upgrade that makes any room feel clean and crisp. You can show off your fashion sense while concealing what is often the most disorganized area of a home. By going a step further and adding lighting inside a PAX closet, your new LUNDBRÄSMA panels will truly sparkle. After all, bad lighting is the one thing keeping your closet from feeling organized.

If your PAX closet system currently has hinged doors, switching to the sliding door frame can save space. Plus, sliding doors don't require knobs or handles, although you could choose to install your own hardware to match the rest of the room if you prefer. That said, if you need to stick with your hinged doors but still want the flair of glass panels, consider the fluted glass TONSTAD doors or frosted glass BERGSBO doors.
